• Mark @ 13; or he could turn into a vastly overpaid sicknote / piece of deadwood with 2 or 3 yrs left on his contract. He's good, but if he's our best player, that says more about Moyes and the 3 Amigo than Grealish, He's not going to do a Modric and boss games deep into his 30s For his wages we need to be signing 2 of the 23yr old 2026 version, not the 30yr old version. You might be right about the sulking bit though...

Against teams like City and Arsenal who play their way out from the back forcing us into our own penalty area it should be Keane and Branthwaite. Against teams like United and Newcastle who are good on the break it should be O’Brien and Branthwaite. We should never have two in the box when we get a corner.

Having said all that here is my weekly exercise in futility for the Barcodes:- Pickford Patterson, O’Brien, Branthwaite, Mykolenko Garner, Dewsbury-Hall Ndiaye, Harr...

• 'Mark Travers is also nursing a finger complaint." Yes. I wonder who he gave that too? Drop G G.hes forgot he's a defensive midfielder to protect the back line not expose it. And tell Keane he's not Messi....
