Re: Royals tv refund email?

Yeah been refunded my £140 now, sorry pep. :lol: (expires 05/08/24) Bizarrely also have a -£2.80 from 25th sept but have not been charged or paid. Same. Thought for a second they'd refunded it to me twice, but one entry on my bank statement was pending and the next confirmed. Tbh, as far as I'm con...

Re: MATCHWATCH : Northampton Town (a)

I think we may lose heavily, or narrowly. Ir maybe draw. But we may also grab a narrow victory. On the other hand I think we might smash them.

Re: “ Sell before we Dai “ supporters action group v2.2 sponsored by Dunlop Tennis Balls

Have the local MP's got involved? If not, it might be a good idea to get them to do so, likewise the town and county councils. External representations - all the way up to the Chinese Government - to apply pressure on the owner to sell up will work more effectively than tennis balls on the pitch IM...

Re: Weekend Football

But Ian, there are levels of 'human error'. In this case, it is said that Darren England didn't realise that the goal had been disallowed on the field. This is a basic level of check through which England should have run (fine, he made a mistake) - but then the assistant VAR should have completed t...

Re: Potential New Owners

No one is suggesting he buy the club back are they? Definitely too old and lacking money these days.

Re: Potential New Owners

Then you want to go all in on Storey then :wink: TBH Storey's public shenanigans gives me a level of comfort that he isn't a viable option. Do we actually know if RedBird had a genuine interest or was that purely speculation. Also, I have seen some mention of Howe putting together a consortium, but...

Re: “ Sell before we Dai “ supporters action group v2.2 sponsored by Dunlop Tennis Balls

Don't have the time or inclination to read 40 pages of historical info, but it appears that tennis ball protests are moderately successful, but their colour makes them easy for the stewards to spot and collect, does it not? Maybe if they were turf shade we'd get more bang, for our protest buck??? T...

Re: Ex Players

Jamie Bynoe-Gittens extends his contract until 2028 at BVB. What's the story on us losing him and other youngsters to City? I thought EPPP put geographical restrictions on making teenagers uproot their life and move up north. Plus, we're category 1 so how are PL teams allowed simply to poach our br...

Re: BFTG - Burton

I'd say this was a one off until proven otherwise. I have no issues with using players in different positions than what is considered their natural one, as players can adapt and it can work where players perform better/well in a different position. I think a lot of it comes down to the individual t...

Re: MATCHWATCH : Northampton Town (a)

Carson has wilted away. He was really bad at Cambridge and not great at Exeter. I want to keep the pressure off him, so until we're playing well away he should be protected IMO. Take your point on physical midfield Vic, but Hutch and Savage doesn't work. You can't have 3 stolid CMs and I can't see S...

Re: BFTG - Burton

Just curious - what was the formation on Saturday and how many of those players were square pegs in round holes (for example, Bindon the CB playing at RB)? Then did we have any round pegs available to fill those round holes? Do we think Selles is going down the same route we've seen from previous m...

Re: MATCHWATCH : Northampton Town (a)

Get the set up right and we should perform. This is the game for Selles to change the shape and be more cautious, even though we're desperate for a win. We need at least a point away. ...................Button Yiadom, Dean, Abbey, Rushesha ...............Wing, Savage Azeez..........Elliott.............

Re: BFTG - Burton

Hopefully everything clicks soon otherwise will the confidence drop? We play some good stuff at times, and really should have won this game but the decision making seems off at times. Sometimes we just keep passing it around endlessly in the midfield, sometimes we immediately do some low percentage...

Re: Selles In

I think I'm right in saying so far we've won every game we've taken the lead in. And we've won one from behind. We have a young inexperienced squad and our fit strike force couldn't muster 10 professional starts between them before the season started. So we struggle a little to take chances and then...

Re: Selles In

That's why no one is really blaming the players. Even Azeez, who has been around the first team a season or so is only getting a bit of frustration with people hoping he'd have kicked on by now. But that scenario of a very young squad has to be managed well. Selles is doing some very good work. He's...

Re: “ Sell before we Dai “ supporters action group v2.2 sponsored by Dunlop Tennis Balls

Do you think it might be a good idea to protest outside the Chinese embassy, might get our owners attention or attention on our owner? - Don't want to panic him into just getting rid of the club, still want him to sell to someone with the finances and intention of running the club. Wouldn't recomme...

Re: BFTG - Burton

Not getting on Selles’ case here but genuinely feel great parts of our game were despite him rather than because of him I.e. thanks to individual moments of brilliance across the park. Players seemed clueless as a unit. Bbcrb posed the question what would happen if you just threw those people on th...

Re: BFTG - Burton

If he gets a result at Northampton, his opening 10 games are disappointing but adequate, though improvement necessary. If we lose to Northampton, his performance is inadequate and needs significant improvement. Given our away record, that's not a great place to be in. There are definitely lower leag...

Re: BFTG - Burton

I go back to how inexperienced Selles [is] We know we're in trouble when this is the most convincing defence we can muster up for a manager. So glad we got someone inexperienced and out of his depth in this situation. Our choice was between inexperience or a flawed record. Experienced managers with...

Re: BFTG - Burton

Plenty of teams struggle to break down inferior opposition in games they're expected to win, and I go back to how inexperienced Selles and the squad are. It seems like Selles' changes were a reaction to Blackpool and made us more cautious, when actually this was a game to twist. He got it wrong, bu...
