Chaser

And Paqueta under the noses of WHU

I'd have taken a premier League or championship tie. Playing against these lads in the lower reaches is a bit risky in that they can't compete on a skill level, but can kick seven shades of shit out of any PL side if the ref is a shite hawk like the one we had tonight. Hope those who did get assaulted don't come off with lengthy spells on the treatment table..

I think he was a good understudy for Dubs but on early showings, Pope is some way better than Dubravka

Anyone else getting the banned page repeatedly? Struggling to get on

That Hemmings shouldn't be on the pitch. Absolutely disgraceful decision.

Wilson is injury prone unfortunately. A shame for him and us as he is a top striker and should be in the England squad.

That midfield pairing of Joe and Bruno is something to behold though. Pace, energy, power and skill. We have had some decent pairings before in Cabaye/Tiote, Lee/Speed but these two just click together perfectly. I did wonder whether Joe would be a bit of a one season wonder but he's just picked up where he left off last season. Handy theyre both Brazilian, maybe a 3rd one is a good idea.

Gutted we couldn't hold out for a win, which shows the level of belief I have for this side but if I could have taken a draw before the game I would have. Pope was outstanding, ASM put in an unplayable performance. Great to see Miggy and Wilson on the scoresheet. Can't wait for Wolves.

Still 12 days of the window to go. Not time to get wet knickers yet.

Agree mostly with that but I wouldn't say we are looking for selfless individuals. Theyll come for the right package. If they're older professionals like Trips it'll be starting place, big payday and for him chance to raise his family not too far from the rest of his family. For Bruno and Botman it's a chance to play in the PL, top wages and potential of Europe in 12 months. We have to commit players to the project now to be able to realise those European ambitions short term as that is what raises the club profile to overseas players.

Ive lost mine as well. OTF have you got a "box" or "stick"? Think i need to research one

and Bruno, he's had the ball taken off him twice.

Brighton are strong. ASM needs to be better in possession. Lost it about 4 or 5 time already.

To be fair like, I thought we would have had someone in who could score a goal or two before now. Don't want us going to the reduced aisle for the likes of Arnautovic or Rabiot like some other desperate club come the last days of the window....

Joe/Bruno/Joe midfield? ASM/Wilson/Miggy up top?

Hopefully the evidence of what is needed will be plain to see for Howe and Ashworth, and they can come up with a cunning plan to bring some more talent in which will kick us on further in terms of attacking options.

I'm excited to watch the highlights given what you're all saying this aft.

Relying on you lot for updates. I'm stuck in a field full of horses at the minute. I expected a goal before half time. We making chances?

He's sticking with those who did us well last year. Good man management

Shame as I thought he would be a decent option. This supposed list appears to be getting shorter... Maybe Choudhury might be not such a bad idea. Loan deal?

He's worth more than £40m in today's market. The club knows that and the fans know that. They're going to have to pay upwards of £50m I would expect. Jesus was a bargain but Richarlison probably going rate which is a lot.

Maddison for me, proven goals and assists which we need from Midfield.

I think ASM is in for a great season.

Missed it bar the last 5 minutes. See Matty L got on at the end again. Reckon Eddie is seeing something in him? Haven't seen enough of pre season to know how he's played. Good to hear some positives, I still don't see how Lascelles will start Vs Forest but given he has kept the Captaincy it seems Eddie fancies him more than we all do.
