Everton to Blackpool on loan though, not too far to go all things considered. Do well there and may get a move to somewhere like Blackburn on loan next season.
The focus has been on our defensive mistakes lsst night. But which of our strikers would you have confidence would have taken the two chances Smodjic scored last night? Aneke, Schwartz and Bogle all missed easier ones than that in the past 2 games. We are not very strong in any department just now.
I’m sure Szmodics doesn’t score every 1 on 1 he gets and Schwartz looks like he has the ability to score those kind of chances. Aneke’s shown he’s a decent finisher this season, missing a few chances recently doesn’t change that. If a striker is scoring from 1 in 3 chances they’re doing very well.

He was always likely to go to somewhere in the north (west).

Marcus Maddison?
Szmodics was effectively Maddison's replacement in the Posh team, as an attacking midfielder, rather than the centre forward (JCH replaced Toney)
Smodjic had just 2 goals until our generous defence came along.
He had 3 and scored 2 against Milton Keynes on Saturday so now has 4 in 2.

He scored 2 in their last game against MK Dons so is clearly a man in form

Have a feeling we’ll announce one tomorrow. It’s press day and we’ll want it done for Friday. Really hoping it’s Ofoborh as he sounds like the mobile cm we have missed since Cullen left. If Famewo starts on Saturday too then it’s onwards and upwards.

It's a funny thing in football where often players get a flurry of goals in successive games and then don't score again for a while.
Is it just a confidence thing or just getting the breaks fall to them?

John Stones nabbed some in league and cup after years of not scoring

Probably a mixture of lots of factors. Get that little break initially and you then probably start making runs that you wouldn’t have done beforehand, getting into areas you haven’t been as much.
Life is funny, just like they say about waiting for a bus and suddenly two come at once. Life would be boring if everyone all got their opportunities at the same time too.
To be honest, I'm not too upset by that news, although it would've been good to see Doughty play a few more games for us, how many games would he have been involved in once recovered from his Hamstring injury then getting back to match fitness without any further niggles. Could well have been a total waste of time for us
What I am convinced about is that Gallen, the Gov and co will get the best they can possibly get. A bit of a truism perhaps but I don’t think we should fret when deals like this don’t come off. He’s beyond us so he is beyond us . We move on knowing that they will land what they can land.
I know people will say hes a young lad & needs to do whats best for him but jumping ship from the team who give you the platform to perform on the professional stage is poor.
When you see how Joe Gomez handled himself in his departure is how it should be done.

Big difference now is the wage limit
Good player, will score them goals.
