Re: Transfer deadline day rumours in's and out's

Indeed. There isn’t much to report. The journos are not trying to make things up for click bait. If there is something they will report it. There’s no coverage though, that’s my issue. Jlo reposted the rumour about Carroll at 9am this morning. Then nothing till one tweet at 7:30 this evening. He ge...

Re: Transfer deadline day rumours in's and out's

Couldn’t agree more A goal hanging, barely mobile Carroll will score more than Puscus on his own up front. That the Carroll with 5 goals in 71 appearances over the last 4 years? Woop woop. Who were you hoping we'd sign for what we can afford? Genuine question. I can’t be alone in finding the verbal...

Re: Transfer deadline day rumours in's and out's

A goal hanging, barely mobile Carroll will score more than Puscus on his own up front. Not with the service we currently provide he wont. Not many strikers score from 60 yards with their back to the goal. With the right service, Carroll will score. Like most strikers he comes alive near the 18 yard...

Re: Transfer deadline day rumours in's and out's

There’s a lot of hostility on Twitter about our new signings. I understand that they’re aren’t everyone’s first choice but given our current predicament I am not sure what people are expecting tbh. Because they live in Cloud Cuckoo Land without fully understanding our predicament and it’s implicati...

Re: Transfer deadline day rumours in's and out's

For those expressing shock and despair I would like to know what you were hoping for? We are limited in what we can pay and there are only so many available strikers out there. You can't all beg for signings and then turn your nose up at a proven goalscorer like Andy Carroll. Yes he is injury prone...

Re: MATCHWATCH : Preston North End (a)

Semedo on the wing? Remind me, have we seen that yet? Not sure. But still prefer the idea to Aluko. Or Swift going wide. Would kind of agree to that. Probably more chance of Semedo being here next season than Aluko, given if we do go up we are obliged to buy him. Firmly in this camp, too. Samedo is...

Re: Rumour - Cohen Bramall

Millsy To have a left back who actually blocks crosses, nullifies opposition right wingers and secures that side of the pitch would be a dream, I've almost forgotten what it feels like.


At least we’ve had it on the right since Gunter’s been out of the picture.

Re: What has changed so much from last season?

Money and fame and big teams talk. But not now and for as long as we remain in contention for promotion with the prospect of him starting next season as an establish member of a top flight team rather than sat on Dortmund’s bench. But that was what happened with Sidders. I always fear that happenin...

Re: What has changed so much from last season?

I highly doubt it. Crazy as it may sound but he would be a great fit for somebody like dortmund Oyeh because Dai has a record of letting our most promising players go. Plus would be fairly stupid from Olise to leave at this stage when next year he could well be playing guaranteed Prem football as i...

Re: BFIT - Wycombe (H)

Seen Joao's goal - absolute class. First touch, turn and strength = world class, defenders did nothing wrong. Goal of the Season contender... anyone can smack a ball in front 30 yards, few can do that Couldn't agree more. In my view, the biggest difference between the 1st and 2nd tiers is the quali...

Re: MATCHWATCH : Cardiff City (a) sponsored by Chris Casper

Players just look a lot more confident this year. Could be Pauno could be Bowen going - or just a bit of momentum For my money you could put it down to one or more of four factors. Joao being fit Laurent giving the midfield balance and steel Olise adding end product to his game Paunovic being an im...

Re: MATCHWATCH : Derby County (a) sponsored by things to come

A few observations. The first XI is top 6 quality. We've been performing as less than the sum of the parts for a long time. Joao is the single most pivotal player we've had in recent memory. Not since before the glory days have we been so reliant on one player to get our game to work. Worth every p...

Re: Bowen out rumour

In what way is the “structure” not built around football where is it’s non footballing element? Bowen was offered a position that would only have strengthened that structure but he declined.

I understand why some fans will not like it but Hobnob is like an echo chamber with a short circuit.

Re: Bowen out rumour

I wouldn't have sacked Bowen but his appointment has now been placed in it's true perspective and, whether or not you agree with the decision, I wouldn't call it shambolic, more an owner committed to taking the club where he wants it to be, having never shown the slightest sign of being unwilling to...

Re: Confimred loan - Ovie Ejaria

Couldn’t be more delighted that Ovi is finally ours! He’s not over rated he’s a special talent who needs to be played between the lines behind the striker where he’ll do the most damage. I still believe Swift will be snapped up once others accept we won’t be giving him away and that will help balanc...

Re: Osho - best crosser of the ball at the club. Discuss.

He'll get a few games in a league one club, who else will sign him? He's taken a huge risk in the current climate and is being poorly advised, probably got the same agent as Loader While I find it very disappointing we let his contract run down, I agree. With no gate money since March and even less...
