From what I've seen of Celina so far I'd rather have kept DWP at the club.

Wilmot played really well, but who is the other guy!? Think about it 🤭🤭 I don't think Paul Dyson has returned!

I really dislike Bmouth and all their playacting, but I hope they stay up this season so we can bring Pearson in on a permanent deal!

4 players that started today are contracted for next season. That’s the issue for any predictions. We certainly look like we are but we have a massive summer coming up. If we could keep Pearson and the fullbacks I think we will have an exciting season ahead. We also need to add a targetman, at least one central defender, a winger and a central midfielder too. Even these 7 players might not be enough for a long season in the Championship.

Think he was a bit sloppy on the ball at times. It was his first game back after weeks out and a very stop start season. Yes, but I can't give him an 8 just because it's his first start for a while as another poster indicated he deserved.

Only watched it on TV which is completely different than being at the actual game Which we all know is completely different cause you are only watching what is shown to you.thought wilmot and Dyson were our outstanding players on tv Wilmot played really well, but who is the other guy!?

Eights and sixes after winning 4-⁰ away. Tough crowd! Just one given 6 of the starting 11, but we won because of team effort more than anything.

Not shit, but not very impressive either. Made a lot of crucial mistakes as I remember him. Look at him now! Unless 22 y/o Beyer is carrying him. I still think he was far from impressive for us.

If we could keep him fit he would be the best central defender in the Championship by far! I really hope he stays!

I've said it repeatedly and I can say it again: I hope the Coates family will stay in charge of this club for many years to come, we couldn't really hope for better owners. People who haven't seen this yet need to get to the specsavers instantly!

My main problem with Tymon at left back is although he is quite quick himself he appears to react very slowly to the first one or two yards of a winger coming at him and invariably fails to stop the cross, especially on his outside. Not good for a fullback. Exactly what I see too!

It's interesting to see how different our opinions are on this player, as I see him as an awful fullback and you rate him. To me a defender needs to be able to do the basics first as he is a defender. You can come up with all the statistics you want, but from what I've seen he is an awful defender. He is much better going forward, though he is very limited on the ball too. His best ability is that he can run from box to box a whole game at a decent speed. His crosses and decisions on the ball could be discussed too as I'm far from as impressed as you are. Every time he goes inside and he decides to use his right we all know what is going to happen, as his right hardly is anything else than a leg to stand on. You can go on forever about how good he is, but I think Neill has seen already that Tymon is not the answer for a club wanting to go places at this level. Nothing would make me more happy than to see Tymon, or any player succeed for Stoke, but I honestly don't think he will. I think I saw a stat on reddit that said he was the most dangerous passer (crosses or passes completed) from wide left wingback and left midfield (and Fox was from LB) in the championship. Things aren't as bad as some seem to think - the championship is more shite than ever! 'Even though he is able to make an occasional cross he isn't very good at defending. Especially one on one he is maybe the worst defender we have on our books at the moment. Because of this I'd prefer to see him gone if we are going for a system like 4 3 3, which doesn't suit Tymon at all. He could do a decent job for a team who play 5 3 2 though, as he is much better going forward than he is at defending. Even though his decisons and right foot sometimes make me want to tear the rest of my hair out!

With Pearson sitting and protecting the back 4 tymon would look much better. Think people are forgetting he was our best player last season just to suit the agenda they don't like him and have some sort of problem with the bloke. 😂 Why? He seems like a decent sort, a decent enough footballer and a good wing back. But he’s shown repeatedly he’s not a very good left back. Agenda my arse. He is a good wingback at this level when we play a system of 3 central defenders and 2 wingbacks, but he is very mediocre in all other positions in any system as I see it. In fact trying to include Tymon in a system has held us more back than it has improved us.

I've got no problems with others having another opinion than me, but I really don't rate Tymon as a defender. Hoever struggled with Clarke at Sland, but apart from that he has been dependable defensively as I see it. Tymon struggles defensively whoever he is up against in my opinion. Last season, Tymon won 71% of the tackles he made. That doesn't strike me as the kind of player who's incapable of defending. You can win 90% of all your tackles and still miss out on the important ones that lose you the game. I guess you have seen him play many times as I also have, and if you still think he is a decent fullback I'm really glad you're not the manager!

Hoever is clearly a better defender than Tymon! He's stronger but otherwise don't agree I've got no problems with others having another opinion than me, but I really don't rate Tymon as a defender.

Hoever is clearly a better defender than Tymon! Not sure we have enough evidence to say that with any conviction. Jack Clarke had Hoever on toast everytime 1 on 1. I’m happy to take the risk with attacking FB’s but your certainty one is so much better defensively than the other appears unfounded on the evidence we do have. Maybe you haven’t dug yourself in to the same depth on Hoever as Tymon but in terms of defensive work as a FB I don’t think there’s that much difference Hoever is a slightly better athlete that gets him out of his own defensive mess a little more than easily. Both are a little suspect defensively but you get the pay off at the other end. A player like Hoever/Tymon will get you more goals/assists a player like Sterling will get you more clean sheets. It’s a judgement call and I don’t fall on the defensive side of the argument. You're entitled to your own opinion, but I've seen enough of both of them to be certain of which one I prefer.

Of course I’ve based it on conclusions that I’ve reached. I wouldn’t base it on conclusions I haven’t reached would I? 😉 I want Tymon to be given a proper shot at lb now that we have an actual DM. However, it looks like AN isn’t that interested in the idea, so I expect him to be sold. I also expect that a player who is playing (Tymon last year) will be worth more than the same player who isn’t playing (Tymon now). It’s not a sound conclusion Tymon as a FB is no riskier than Hoever. Personally I’d like to see both, defensive FB are old news. Hoever is clearly a better defender than Tymon!

Tymon simply isn't good enough one on one defensively as a left back, and he certainly isn't a winger either. I like Tymon, but he isn't suited to 4 3 3 so what will be the sensible thing to do? If anyone makes a bid around £2M I certainly would sell.
