    Transfer Rumour Van Ewijk to Galatasaray

    I admire your optimism. Personally I’m hoping FL is pushing for his own guy in that role or will be insisting on much more say in the process.

    Robins to Stoke ?

    Yeah, for example double that at least for an improving Rudi. 23 years old and 9 league goal involvements in an out of form side at the half way stage.

    Robins to Stoke ?

    Looks like I’m in the minority but I think Stoke may suit him better than West Brom. The latter I would suggest is play offs this season as a remit. Whereas I can barely remember Stoke being above mid table since they came down. I suspect a top half finish there would be seen as success and he’d...

    These are garbage but we’re punishing them accordingly. I missed the quick sale of Collins to them prior to kick off.

    Transfer Rumour Dion Sanderson

    The last player in the squad genuinely above mid-table level based on long term form.

    Brimming with excitement for this one. If Saddle could leak the team by midday that would be great, I can then decide whether to stay home and eat cheese absent at least three changes in that back 5.

    Why Collins?

    A cynic might say it’s the Chelsea link but surely not. I expect him to be dropped Boxing Day, barring a huge issue with Dovin that hasn’t been leaked.

    I thought it was the right result but probably not by that margin. A draw wouldn’t have been outrageous.

    Boxing 2024

    Yeah. I think his management and promoters carefully picking his opponents to build and milk the cash cow will do for his dream.

    Boxing 2024

    Frightening for a 19 year old. Not many look that brutal at that age. Apparently backed himself to beat Tyson’s heavyweight record (world champ at 20).

    This back five is as bad as I can remember. Fucking useless.

    Haji Wright injury

    Wright is our best player but is the polar opposite of Bassette in terms of running and pressing. He’s closer to Simms in that respect who FL doesn’t seem to fancy. He will have to change his game as both he and EMC have to play.

    Fuck it. 4-4-2 and more direct. Desperate times.. GK - Whoever but Collins at this point, Dovin, Lampard, Oggy RB - Lati (just stay back and defend) CB - Thomas CB - Kitching LB - Bidwell (see Lati instructions) RW - Saka CM - Sheaf CM - Torp LW - JDS (slightly more in the ilk of a proper...

    Football Manager

    I’m in 2039, playing in the 68,000 seater Coventry Stadium and am officially a Coventry legend alongside Hill, Sillett, Curtis, Oggy and Brazilian, Ibson. 6 Champions League titles in a row will do that for you though. It’s the realism that sets Football Manager apart 😂

    Bidwell is the absolutely sensible choice anyway, but certainly in a back 4 when JDS is getting up the pitch anyway. If he is fully fit then it’s just bizarre. For an attacking wing back position then there’s a case for JDS.

    Decent enough but the defence is dodgy again. By now I think we just need upgrade. Whether that’s one or two new CBs or a genuinely quality ball winning anchorman type to protect them.
