From what I've seen of Paunovic teams they do seem to rely on direct dribblers into the final third - so this guy feels like he should slot in pretty naturally. Although not sure how well that gameplan will translate to the Championship.
And we don't need to talk about the home form or some of the performances. You can see how well we started under Bowen but seriously tailed off, for a number of reasons. That is barely a 50pt season and that will have factored into this review. The new guy's away form is something else, even by tha...
Typical winger. Soft in defence, goes missing, but has the beatung of a full back, can whip in a good cross and scores a few important goals. Don't think he hugely fits our shape... better in a traditional 4-4-2 with two strikers to aim at when he hits the byline. Decent impact sub though. I like h...
2 year deal. Not sure how this works out with the transfer window and so-on - but this is the Irish pre-season, so it may work differently. [/quote] Pretty sure the transfer window is just the period of time where you can register players - so being outside of it doesn't actually matter for outgoin...
Pretty dismal performance and were lucky to come out with something. Gunter had an opportunity to get a foot in just before the shot came which he didn't take and were taken apart too easily for the second goal. Fairly lucky with the Obita goal (thought the keeper should have done better) but glad t...
Never been, last season as a student, last few weeks living in Cambridge before moving back to Reading so IN seeing as I can still just about justify it
Other than the horror first fifteen, 75-80 minutes. We were clearly over awed to begin with and didn't start playing until that quick goal kick that seemed to make us realise that we can actually play from the back - even against United. First goal was slick passing that should have been stopped but...

:lol: at you deeming something irrelevant because you personally haven't heard about it or don't understand it. But all this "expected goal" nonsense is surely based on a fixed conversion rate of chances which I presume is based on an average. Or, as one of the posters on NSC put it, if w...
Do Sky still run the 6 a side masters tournament for retired ex-players to represent their clubs? Masters Football is a six-a-side indoor football competition in the United Kingdom, where players over the age of 35 are chosen by the Masters Football Selection Committee to represent a senior club fo...
Anyone who's done United away before know the best way to get from Piccadilly to Old Trafford? I think last time I used the metro. It was a bit chaotic coming back though due to she sheer number of people I usually use the metro and will be again on Saturday. It is absolutely mental (unless you arr...
If we don't sell anyone, this window is a tough one to call. Ideally we'd get a centre back for cover, but not sure who would move to us solely to cover McShane and Moore who have been generally a very good pairing. Midfield and Wing looks well covered, RB and LB are covered, though I agree only Ob...
