Players seem to command higher fees based on the club they are at. A Gyokeres at Lisbon scoring 20 goals is probably double the fee a 20 goal Gyok is here, just seems to be the way. My point being he'd have never have brought in fee that while in the championship with us. You see some bang...

Agree. I think whatever manager you have first season up, it's always a struggle and a bit of luck on the way needed to stay up. The step up is outrageous. Sent from my SM-A346B using Tapatalk

Strange isn't it, what do we think is driving this increase across the patch? I understand our own increase on the back of last season but not everyone hada similar experience obviously. It will be tested next year when the TV deals come in but I for one hope the thirst for physically attending...

When is the next fans forum? Outside of the football topics, get logistics to the top of the list those who go and can influence the agenda. Forget away fans but you'll be amazed how many home fans from outside Cov travel by train, Inc myself and it's seriously hard work. It's fine saying the...

Don't know of it's the same one but there was a Jimmy hill video and a highlight reel on yesterday at the game of some matches over the last 40 years or so. Sent from my SM-A346B using Tapatalk

Tbh we didn't utilise Morrell properly at all playing him on the wing regularly. He went onto Blackpool after and bagged a hatful...as he did his whole career except for us. Sent from my SM-A346B using Tapatalk

Escape from al-cat-raz? Sorry. Sent from my SM-A346B using Tapatalk

Bit random but something I've noticed more recently though is Godden, for his size wins a fair few headers...I can't remember this much before but he seems to win more than Simms / Wright and when you compare physical statures it's bonkers. Means nothing and adds nothing to this debate it's just...

While on Pub toilets ...who on earth is picking their nose and wiping it on the wall? Grim. Sent from my SM-A346B using Tapatalk

Absolutely this. Robins needs to take advantage of this. Get that ball in front of them to run onto. You see a lot of Simms video clips at other clubs where he's doing that really well. These guys don't want the ball deep and to feet while we slowly move up the pitch. This is where the dynamic...

Robins probably has made mistakes here but I'd much rather he figure that out how to get us going rather than someone fresh. He deserves that opportunity and if people were calling him the best thing since sliced bread and should have a statue etc but now doubting his ability to turn around a...

I can't tell if our corners in are bad or just nobody wants to attack it.

I highly doubt King is losing patience after 11 games. Think those suggesting it are forgetting this guy made his wealth on investments which over long periods require patience and holding nerves and ups and downs will be seen along the way before an investment bares fruit. King won't be...

I reckon with Hamer in the team, both those players would have scored more. I still feel we are missing that link between midfield / defence and strikers. That will possibly be O'Hare but if he's not ready soon then we are waiting until January. Once we have that I think we will see some tunes...

Well the positive in all this is....you are not in charge of player sales 😆

Agree, I think when this is addressed, things will link better, and it's then we will see what our strikers can do. It feels like they are having to drop quite deep at the moment to compensate, which was ok for Vik but we have different style strikers now meaning the midfield need to plug the...

Even if it's so we can see Sakas' party trick - that little drop of the shoulder and skin the defender that he does at least once every time he plays...and even though we all know he's going to do it, it still seems to work! Beautiful 😆

Its fair to challenge the fee, I'm with you, it's £3.5m and up to £8m I think with add ons? If we trigger those add ons (I think one being promotion) then it was probably worth the £8m we may end up paying. I think as a club / fan base we are still getting used to talking about these sums of...

Simms wasn't a gamble, he has done it at this level already. Everyone else got a tune out of him. What was possibly a gamble is if we are not playing a system to suit him or thought we could shoe horn him into one then that's probably a misalignment between coaching staff and what the...

We have these players for up to 4 seasons, but we as you indicate need the next players coming in to be that service. The link between midfield and strikers isn't there yet. Gyok didn't really need that link, he took it from deep and took the ball to the box himself regularly. And 11 new...
