Might explain Power’s situation. All feels a bit heartless doesn’t it? Move a person’s life across the word but have the power to then force them out to bring the next 30+ star in? Got his money at least I guess 🤷‍♂️

Big game for Silko Thomas of course but also a chance for Thelo to impress💪 He’s had to do a job for the team out wide but centrally, he should be at the heart of our play 🤞#wafc

Kelvin Ehibhatiomhan on the Reading left would be so perfect for us, combines the pace of Hugill with Stones’ power ⚽️#wafc Take 500k #readingfc ? 😂

Strange and slightly worrying performance this 🔵⚪️ We start the game trying to play the ball through Reading because we don’t have a striker who will benefit from crosses. Then go behind and bring on wingers who add spark but start crossing to that same striker? 🤷‍♂️ #wafc

Very glad he’s picked out the issues with fighting for second balls in midfield. It’ll help us get control of the ball to showcase the teams strengths 🔵⚪️ #wafc

Think if we’d had a stronger start to the season this wouldn’t sting. A good player but for me his strength is getting into positions to cross the ball, which doesn’t really suit the team with Hugill 🔵⚪️ #wafc (Watch us go buy a target man now 😂😔)

So it’s either Carragher at RB or Rankine at RWB. Could even be both in and out of possession, should hopefully offset Adeeko’s more advanced position. #wafc

Only caught the last 15 mins but the system seems so much simpler today. Pressing high and finding the wingers much easier 🔵⚪️ #wafc

Not expecting a signing today tbh 🔵⚪️ We have enough options in most areas, it’s genuine quality we need. There won’t be a team in the league that couldn’t do with an experienced goalscorer so can’t see us finding one 🤷‍♂️ #wafc

Absolutely no problem with signing him, invest in potential future profit etc. I worry he won’t play enough though? Hope he doesn’t become another that we never see enough to even know if he was worth the fee 🔵⚪️ #wafc

This pressure all comes from Thelo dropping deep. Our most talented player needs to be on the ball more he draws players into him 🔵⚪️ #wafc

More on this: Smith collecting the ball in defence is a fine strategy, but it means we lose his presence for the next phase. If Thelo can drop a little deeper, receive from Smith and then drift forward himself we could open up more space 🔵⚪️ #wafc

Football is obviously more nuanced than this but to put it bluntly: If our system can’t create clear cut chances against the bottom team in League Two, it can’t against teams in League One either. Let’s hope for better in the second half 😬 #wafc

We’re a confusing watch, aren’t we? We dominate the ball and invert the fullbacks into midfield, all to create the space for an aimless cross 🙃 I’m not sure what Maloney wants this team to do, which can’t be a good sign after 6 games 🔵⚪️ #wafc

Obviously there’s different levels but that second England goal is what I wish we could do. 😔 Rice arrives into the more advanced space rather than Adeeko who starts there. It’s a subtle difference but would improve us so much 🔵⚪️ #wafc
