Re: Rumour - Rodrigo Riquelme

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.

Re: Bowen out rumour

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...

Re: Season 20/21

There's some photos up on the OS.

Looks like Olise, Swift, Rino and Laurent all started. As did Araruna!

Re: Match Thread - Huddersfield Vs Reading - Sponsored By A Right Stuffing

IceIceGylfi Odd. The one that misses their pen, Brown, has been subbed. Maybe Wagner is pissed off at him?


He won the penalty but didn't take it

Re: Roy Beerens - Unsung?

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...

Re: Shane Griffin to Cork City

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...

Re: Back from the game - Ipswich

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...

Re: BFTG - United (A)

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...

Re: Rumour - Tiago Ilori

: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...

Re: Rumour - McCleary to Valencia

genome I guess the fee wouldn't be that high considering his contract situation.


If we do have an option on the extra year may be able to use it as a slight bargaining chip

Re: Summer Rebuild 2016/2017

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...
