    Our midfield is not producing as much as their's is
    Agreed - Hoping that JRC isn’t too badly injured, because we will struggle if Doherty has to start many games. I love his work ethic, but he can’t see a forward pass quick enough. It’s either a back to goal volleyed “hit and hope” or sideways pass, which will just put us under immediate pressure in the championship. 
    Exactly how I see it

    Hate to say it, but even in a friendly it’s clear — Docherty will not be good enough for that role he plays in the Championship. He hasn’t done anything catastrophically wrong, but he lacks the pace and dynamism we need in that position. The sooner Knibbs gets fit and replaces him, the better imo
    Knibbs won't replace Doc.

    JRC then, although Knibbs would still be better than Doc.

    Clearly going to try to replicate his goal in the FA cup last season

    Meanwhile in league one, both of our play off victims are losing at half time. 
    Wycombe fans losing their shit on social media. 

    League1 is looking tasty imo. Autos hunt looks interesting, as does play-offs, fight for relegation is anyone's guess.

    God I love League 1

    Harvey Knibbs I'm thinking, Knibbisnator, Knibbatron, Knibbster, Knibbmeister

    Can't make my mind up on that one

    Been impressed with the link up between Apter and Carey clearly have a good understanding from their time at Blackpool. Ramsey absolute class as usual and Bell looks a really good pick up on a free. We look a bit powderpuff going forward, playing far too many long balls over the top straight into their centrebacks. Would like to see oloafe come on and form a partnership with Kelman.

    I reckon Dodds will be sacked by November if they start the season on a similar run of form that they ended last season with.

    Same as has been said by others. Docherty was a solid League One option but I just can’t see him doing much in the Championship.

    Nothing against him personally, but I think he completely kills the balance of that midfield. Need a player that is more dynamic.

    We really do need to show the gap between the clubs and get at least another couple of goals as a minimum second half...

    Better keep him off then. Tell him to go stand by the bus, make sure no one knicks it!
