Re: BFTG Huddersfield Away

Without being critical of any player that started today. Rinomhota should have been in the starting 11 with Pele. Boye spent a lot of the game defensively. As we had no ability to win the ball back. Formation was wrong. We invited pressure on ourselves. Allowing Huddersfield to press us back. Why o...

Re: The Academy/Development squads watch thread 2015//16

I know we have signed (all of a sudden) some good quality players for shed loads of £££ and the prospects for the season look good, however is any one else a little miffed as I am, about the sudden about U turn ? It seemed that finally the stars were aligned with FFP, Gomes encouraging youth and Ho...

Yeah +1 as well, seems to get a lot of hate but I can never work out why.

Right manager at the wrong time.

Absolutely. Top guy.


+4. He was shafted, just like Brian 2.0

Agreed apart from McDoughnut 2.0.

Now he is a manager that got massively found out with no plan B.

Re: Will we get found out again?

Odd to worry about us not having a Plan B when we've already used at least 3 formations and used different players to do different roles. That's exactly why I'm concerned; those other formations/roles lead to 2 defeats and a draw in 90mins with a lower league side. So if by plan B we mean systems t...

Re: Will we get found out again?

5-3-2/3-5-2 demolished Cardiff, and we clearly have the players to do it justice. Stam had only one plan, worked for a time until we were found out, with no plan B. I'm worried this may work for a short while but at some point it will be effectively neutralised and we'll struggle without another pl...

Re: The Academy/Development squads watch thread 2015//16

Nova really should be getting game time with the first XI. It’s an absolute disgrace in all honesty. Would fetch a few mill if we sold him - why he’s not involved tomorrow night is ridiculous. Either play the man or sell him for money. Same with Loader. Instead, we let them rot in the U23s and don’...

Nova hat trick, I would have thought he would be involved tomorrow night, difficult to see him signing another contract beyond this season if he doesn't get a chance. I disagree. With all the players we've signed I would personally play our best 11 with the new signings to give them more opportunit...

Re: BFTG - HULL CITY (AWAY)

Thanks for write ups.

I'm a little confused as to how Richards played. One of you said he's man of the match, another he played well and the rest shite. Someone make up their mind and give an honest opinion :lol: :lol:

Re: Rumour - Danny Loader to Wolves

Offer was 8 million I've heard Fell through due to the Kennedy deal going south If that is the reason I would be devastated. Do we really need a replacement for him? We have Barrett, Olise, Barrow, Meite and Boyce who can all play on the wing. Even if Barrow goes that leaves us with 4. In the role ...

Re: BFTG - Sheffield

Keeper was shite unfortunately. Loader needs a rocket up his arse. Barrett was slightly better. We'll need to go to three at the back if Yiadom is expected to play RW. I'm not sure how you came to the conclusion the keeper was shite. There is nothing Virginia could have done with the goals and he s...

Re: Pre season tour

One of the other things I forgot to mention post match is how much better we look going forward. Both the 1st and 2nd half teams looked like they had goals in them. Even with very average to below par performances from Meite and Barrow we still looked a threat. We especially looked a threat from set...

Norfolk Royal Thanks for the report on the Chelsea game, excellent.
seconded, but: why the rofls etc for Walker? (That bad?)

and

Any indication of the crowd size?

Walker was awful mate. He took about 5 years to take a goal kick too.

Re: Pre season tour

I enjoyed that. Definitely a tale of 2 halves. We looked more solid and settled 1st half. The 2nd team in the second half looked all too eager to impress and sadly only about 2 or 3 did. I think it's pretty clear who is ready and who isn't. I won't do ratings but I'll give a little write up on each ...

Re: Pre season tour

Nothing much about the Brum game except for Nova scoring again. I was disappointed to see he wasn't involved in the Peterborough game though. That was the perfect game to see how he gets on with the right service coming in. If he plays against Chelsea I don't think that will be a fair opportunity to...

Re: CONFIMRED - Charlie Adam

I'm not a huge fan of him but I think only a year's contract for an experienced head with quality isn't a bad idea tbf. He won't play every game but he'll be a useful option and a good leader for the younger players in the squad.
