Re: Ex Players

This^ Yep +2 I'd have a guess that Dundee would struggle to survive in League 2 let alone the Championship. +3. And to think CeLOLtic thought they could play in our Premier league a few years ago. They would be a mid table championship side. Didn't celtic or rangers lose a few years ago in the euro...

Re: MATCHWATCH : Rotherham United (h) sponsored by all or nothing

At least one of Frost, East, Barrett or Loader will be on the bench tomorrow as they didn't play for the U23s. Frost was recalled from his loan at Havant a few days ago and was training with the first team along with Barrett and East. Gomes did say in his interview he had some of the U23s training a...

Re: Chelsea transfer ban and our loanees

I'm not convinced that will hamper our chances of signing Miazga at all. There is also the possibility that a new rule around loans will be introduced next season that severely limits the number of players you can loan out too. A combination of these 2 rules and also the number of players a club ca...

Re: Rinhomota

Bringing in a random youth player is absolutely not the right option. There's a reason Barrett has been with us for three/four years and has got no-where near the squad. There's a reason Barrett wasn't even making the bench of a league two team last year. People calling him to start one of our bigg...

Re: Rinhomota

LW, yep, was pondering if he’s an option somewhere. Obv not ideal, but it’s all relative to the predicament we’re currently in. As you rightly say, he does read the game well, and think his height could be useful. As I say, would imagine any and all options are on the table at this point. One way o...

Re: Rinhomota

O'Shea has played in midfield for Man Utd in the past. For all his lack of mobility. Would read the game well. Nor does he have to be that active. Makele as an example basically stayed in the centre circle. When providing defensive cover in his Chelsea days. LW, yep, was pondering if he’s an option...

Re: Rinhomota

Personally I think we've underestimated how important his role is or at least that type of players value to the team. With Eza out injured, Meyler and Edwards being moved on we should have signed another tenacious tough tackler in Jan. I would rather have had another Rino type than Ejaria and Baker ...

I'm guessing there were a couple of knocks from the midweek game. Just to stop some of you going into meltdown and not being able to realise players get injured. :lol:

Re: BFTG - Blackburn

First half shambles down to Gomes. Poor team set-up. Cannot afford more slip-ups. Should have been dead and buried. Nope. Rino was injured and we don't have any other tenacious tough tackling midfielders to play there. His only choice was to play more balanced wide men who would track back and help...

Re: BFTG - Blackburn

Definitely a game of 2 halves. Some of you have been talking about the strange line up but I really thought Gomes was spot on. With Rino injured and no strong CMs available we we need to help the likes of Kelly and Swift with wide men who are likely to track back wide and centrally. Richards definit...

Re: Ex Players

Jamie Young, playing out his career in Australia with Brisbane Roar, does his own take on Schumacher / Battiston in the '82 world cup, taking out an Adelaide forward outside the area. Brisbane, who had been 3-0 up (and still 3-1 up when he was sent off) lose 3-4, to a 97th minute winner. I remember...

Re: The Next 8 games - Make or Break Time

I'm also not sure why people are expecting us to start winning more than 2 games in a row all of a sudden. We won't win them all, we won't beat all the teams around us so let's be a little realistic.

Re: The Next 8 games - Make or Break Time

I don't think it's realistic to assume we can beat Villa and Blackburn tbh. They're not bad teams and we're just as bad away as we are at home. I personally would be happy with a couple of draws against those 2. Mr predictions : Bolton - Win Villa - Draw Wednesday - Draw Blackburn - Draw Sheff - Los...

Presumably he will be given a chance with us next season. We pissed a million on McNulty when we could have given this lad a chance.


If he carries on like that he'll be playing every week for a better team than us.

Re: RUMOUR - Nelson Oliveira

Heard he was our second choice. Apparently we got rejected from Goncalo Gregorio and went for Oliveira instead. Don't know how true this is but it's from a freelance journalist in Portugal.

Let's hope we get Oliveira to sign on loan until the end of the season though.

Re: MATCHWATCH : Derby County (a) sponsored by Yakubu

Just to clear up a couple things here.

Their first goal was 2 yards offside.

Aluko was brilliant when he came on and that is coming from someone who wanted him gone in the summer.
