Re: BFTG Brighton

That's three crap substitutes right there.
Either
a) SC doesn't quite know his team yet or
b) One or more of them are going on the transfer list in January

Re: CONFIMRED - Glenn Murray on loan

So to clarify, Player A will get a shot away 5 times a match when otherwise the ball would have gone to the opposition, but Player B just won't get the shot away? You've got to go with Player A. Even if his shots usually miss, he's got a better chance of scoring. +1 +2. For me, Murray >>>> Pogrebny...

Re: Drenthe - Would you have him back???

We have to give him a go. We cant expect to shift his wages off our books just like that. Doesn't work like that.

Re: BFTG - Watford (H)

Not a chance. If you have a new manager and the opposition have a man sent off in the first half, then failing to score AND failing to get a clean sheet are exactly the kind of things that clubs that go down do. Especially a week after shipping 6 to a below average outfit like Birmingham. Im not re...

Re: Opposition fans back from the game

LOL. If you've been around Championship football for any real amount of time in the last two decades, you'll know that Watford have a real issue, I mean a REAL ISSUE, about being seen to be noisy.

Re: CONFIMRED - Glenn Murray on loan

Ive defended Murray quite rigorously before - mainly because its part of a strikers job to create his own chances and I don't expect him to put them all away. He's just the sort of player we need. However, we need to have some end product over christmas if we're going to put the cash out for him. Im...

Re: Pogrebnyak Speaks Out!

Screams mercenary. Screams fair enough to me. If a chairman is willing to throw money at you to join his club and you want to stay in England, can't see as many would ever turn it down. Don't disagree with that, but its his behaviour since joining that is worrying. He should be our star player. Two...

Re: Clarke's first team

Libertine Well here is what it is for his first game:

Federici; Gunter, Obita, Hector, Pearce (c), Norwood, Williams, McCleary, Blackman, Cox, Murray

Subs: Andersen, Cummings, Kelly, Cooper, Taylor, Stacey, Tanner


That's a strong team.
And a weak bench.

Re: Can Clarkie improve the squad?

I'm sorry, but when has Ryan Edwards shown match-winning potential? :lol: Just so people know, whenever Ryan Edwards gets mentioned as a hot prospect, it should be taken into account that he's very good in Football Manager 2015, so I don't know if this Ryan Edwards is being confused with the IRL Ry...

Re: Steve Clarke

Better coach than manager, but then from the shambles we are currently in, a decent coach would have to be the priority. Maybe Hammond will do all the "manager" stuff, and let SC concentrate on the training ground? Let's face it, NH does already seem to do a lot of the manager's duties an...

I think it might have something to do with a massive wage bill and an alleged inability to sign anyone thanks to said wage bill and FFP.
