He’s fine as the starting left back next season.

We can’t sort out everything in one summer.

Right back, centre mids, wingers and strikers are all bigger priorities.

Was this lad ok on Saturday?

Pinging it about for fun he was.

Going forward that’s the best he’s ever played for us.

Harry Maguire Or James Tarkowski

I think this is a partnership we may well see next season for us.

I don't really buy that everyone above us has better centre halves. We've got the 3rd best defence in the league. It's not as if everyone's arguing the other 4 are amazing. I think the no one better than us argument is a bit of a loaded 1. We pay him 100k a week. Lots of the teams that have been be...

Tyrone mings has probably been a better centre half than tarks to be fair.

He was quick and good on the ball when he was at his best.

3rd best defence in the league. He absolutely isn't a bottom 6 player. He's a very good centre half Why has he never played at a higher level then? All the teams above us have better centre halves. It’s not a slight on him, just calling it as it is. I don’t see anybody better than us ever coming in...

Did say he was a massive miss to be fair. There’s a reason he’s played all his career in the bottom part of the premier league though. That’s his level. Look at the teams in the top half and the centre halves they have. The likes of bassey, van hecke, Murillo, konsa, Guéhi, milenkovic, Collins, Ande...

He’s been good for us but he’s very much at his level playing for a team constantly in the bottom six

Will be a massive miss though.

Another massive dope.

Was better today but still has nothing about him other than going on the outside and dinking the ball in.

Arsenal might though if that happens.

It was sarcasm. Pointing the finger back ourselves. I guess it's about what is likely and reasonable. And not what's binary and simplistic. We're still a long way from who we think we are, especially when, Branthwaite and Rooney aside, almost 9 out of every 10 players to have worn the shirt in the ...

We have the third best defensive record in the league this season.

That’s a mental stat considering how many we conceded in the first five games.

Just shows we have a really solid base to build from.

Maybe we should get all really good players, you know, for little to no cash outlay, and win the league next season. Unearth half a dozen unheard of diamonds in the rough. That's what we should do. I mean they're all out there, I just, um, can't name any of these viable options at the moment, or fo...

Happy to say he wouldn’t make a decent squad player.

Squad players still have to contribute across the season.

What’s somebody like Jack Harrison going to contribute if he’s coming in from the bench for most of the season?
