stealthpapes yeah, I'd posted that somewhere else. Absolutely no new manager bounce from Hunt that season.

Basically, go early and support the new manager or go late and hope for a bounce.

Hopefully a conversation we really shouldn't need to dust off for a good 10 months

Clyde1998 Anyone remember when Ehibhatiomhan is supposed to be back?

I do wonder if he’ll be used differently by Hunt, although that’s obviously dependent on other players in the squad.

I think whether Campbell returns to Wolves in January will have an impact on whether Ehibhatiomhan stays out wide or if he’s given another go up top.

I expect Smith's fitness is the bigger decider on Kelvin going upfront.

Playing 2 up is pretty unlikely.

I don't think it really suits him anyway. He's a big lad, but he doesn't seem the sort to relish a physical battle with a CB, win much in the air against them or hold up hugely well.

He seems to me to much prefer ball to feet a bit deeper in some space and to run at people. He's got pace to go past someone like that. But I'm not so sure about in a foot face to get to a ball in behind having played off the shoulder.
I was thinking more as a substitute option or him shifting across if Smith came off.

I agree a change in style would be needed, as it wouldn’t be like for like. Certainly could be a viable Plan B/C option if we needed to change the game.

Think he could play as an attacking midfielder/second striker behind Smith tbh.

Beginning of February I believe.

Thanks. Not something we need to worry about yet then.

Could play in behind, but not in our high intensity, high press system. That's not a strength.

Yeah, shifting in after a sub maybe.

Looks like one change: Knibbs in for Camara.

You'll probably get battered today, right? Wycombe are a decent team!

Underway and anything could happen in this weather. Wondering if an abandonment might be on the cards if the rain gets even heavier.

3pm restriction on commentary appears to have been blown off. Able to get it via BBC app.

Great steal by WIng, but he could have put Knibbs in then.

No fluency to the game, but we're on top and BAM they score. Balls.

Score with basically their first attack.

Just too easy down our left hand side with Knibbs, Savage and Dorsett not tight enough

Not entirely sure what I'm watching here - ball doing whatever it wants, players struggling and the ref driving a fucking clown car.

bit of a shambles, weather-assisted.
