I assume that if it ever comes to having to negotiate compensation with a club whose manager you’ve just poached, it probably doesn’t help your case if you’ve gone on record several months earlier with your plan to do it. And whatever names Couhig had in mind in the summer doesn’t mean any of them ...

Orient is a must win game for Noel especially as its followed by Stockport away!! Our record against strong teams isn't good. There's already a points gap building just above us in 17th place, lose the next two and it's not looking great! If we become stranded i really cannot see the owner's not pul...

Mid Sussex Royal Do the club still do pre match press conferences? We haven't had a game for nearly 2 weeks.

Actually do we even have any local journos now Earnshaw has gone?

Some guy called James Richings just did the Barnsley preview in the Chronic. Maybe he is the new guy or maybe just a temp.

Remember the days of getting into Reading to Elm Park for 7.30 kick offs (as was the thing across all clubs back in the 1970s/1980s) . Never really had any issues with traffic, you got to know what and where the dodgy bits were and managed your time accordingly. Having the ground not in the middle ...

Expecting a comfortable defeat tbh. 2-0 Never know though. Maybe the two weeks off have been spent well Team is going to be a bit tricky with Kelvin hopefully back and Marriott and Ritchie up to speed. Maybe something like JP Ahmed Burns Williams Jacob Wing Savage Elliott Lane Marriott Kyeweraa Ste...

1. Kelvin Abrefa * 2. Finley Burns 3. Mamadi Camara * 4. Jeriel Dorsett * 5. Kelvin Ehibhatiomhan* 6. Ben Elliott 7. Liam Fraser 8. Matty Jacob 9. Daniel Kyerewaa 10. Patrick Lane 11. Jack Marriott 12. Paudie O'Connor 13. Matt Ritchie 14. Tivonge Rushesha 15. Charlie Savage 16. Michael Stickland* 1...

Its winnable though!!! however, i expect Sam Smith to score a hattrick against us Or maybe Marriot will score a hattrick against them battle of the Ex strikers.

A fair few Wrexham fans not happy with this decision and seem to rate him highly!! I for one haven't really seen him play but it seems like he's a terrier in the box type of forward with decent pace. I guess we have to embrace him and hopefully we will be pleasantly surprised, anything North of 10 g...

A positive step in the right direction, two draws away to Bolton and Wycombe isn't to bad at all. Now we need to put in another positive performance against Vale next weekend and slowly start the climb towards the middle. Noel mentioned a possible three new players next week? Personally, i think thr...

Maybe a change of formation to 5-2-3 which is Spurs favored formation in the past. *****Perieira***** Abrefa Burns Williams Dorsett Jacobs Wing Elliot Lane MOM Doyle I guess the key to this formation is the two wing backs in Abrefa and Jacobs both of which are better wing backs than full backs. Thes...

Brogue Michael Carrick...

Wow, totally forgot he left Boro, how has he not been picked up yet or am i missing something here? We would be just the sort of club for someone like Carrick to make a name for himself.

Its like last season the team picked itself as we only had a handful of players, now we seem to have plenty of cover it looks like Noel has no clue what his best eleven is!! Coppell's teams picked themselves every game. Footballers should be able to play two games a week period!! Play your best elev...

Lots of Atlanta fans seem pretty gutted by this move and it looks like he was highly rated which bodes well. A few mentioned he's lost his legs so I'm guessing that's an age and fitness related thing....however at 32 he should be ok for a few more years at least especially as a CB. Its looking like ...

Would Canada being part of the commonwealth be as good as a British passport anyway? That's not the experience I recall from watching ice hockey over here - the Canadians were usually dual-UK/EU (pre-Brexit) nationals. I presume it's not a British passport/citizenship that matters here. Residency f...

Not worried yet, overall a better performance only spoilt by two errors which cost us the game. I said a month back that it was going to be a difficult first month due to fixtures and the team needing time to bed in and gel. It was a shame that Wing got injured as i was liking the shape of the midfi...

I think we are nearly there, i understand Noel wanting cover however, we have to be careful not to block the opportunity of our youngsters getting games especially the stronger youngsters such as Garcia, Osho, Sackey and Stickland especially putting loanee's ahead of these guys just for the sake of ...

Mid Sussex Royal IF you have good quality AM's you don't necessarily need a decent centre forward, look at what Pep did pre Haaland

Wasn't it Spain that made the "False Nine" a legit formation and did very well with it. No striker as such just three attacking midfielders i believe.

YEAH, because a guy who didn't want to go the "Far South" as is Reading wants to go to PLYMOUTH FFS Yes but Plymouth has the National Marine Aquarium and also, um, that's it. But still, he could be a fish guy? Reading is crap if you like fish. Smelly alley is our only answer. I haven't li...

We expected a defeat and we got one, however it wasn't a thrashing and up until the second went in we were in the game and looked like we might have got something. Early days and will only get better. Pereira - One magical save not to much to do. Abrefa - So much better than the Pompey game. Deserve...

He’s at the training ground now having his photos taken Hi Brogue, any news if a transfer fee was involved? I understand Pompey are one of the clubs interested in Knibbs so maybe a little sweetener for us if Charlton completely pull out. PS keep up the good work, putting our journalists to shame :D
