Even if we signed him till the end of the season, it’s not necessarily a bad thing. To say ‘we’re fucked’ because we’re looking at him is a massive over exaggeration. Back in 22/23 we signed Maguire to fill the squad up and he played a few games. Didn’t add much value (if any) but he served a...

The infamous ‘Tesco bag’ kit of 2005-06! I had all these kits, home and away from 2000 onwards so there’s a nostalgia factor for me! The tips on their own I really like, personally.

I’ve got quite an obscure Cov Le Coq Sportif jacket that a few new people comment on every game I wear it. I’m hoping we release the yellow ribero Cov top and the black and green Pony top from the existing retro ranges. Then all we need to remakes of the Le Coq Sportif numbers. Just take all my...

Why would we sign Joe Gelhardt?! 😂

Just to clarify, it is the period covering 1990-2004. The Robbie Keane kit, first season in the Championship, 2002/03and 03/04 were pretty solid kits. The Kit@ kits, minus the last season at Highfield Road kit, the quality in kits went massively downhill barring 3-4 seasons.

Looking around on the semi-final day v Man U, there was a sense of pride of how good some of our clobber looks even after 30-40 years. The 90s was banger after banger and the in-house kits in the early 00s is my favourite era of kits.

In the case of Blackburn, the red card was because he stopped a goal scoring opportunity and considering we drew 0-0, it was a good decision. Norwich was the killer red card where he lunged in on a yellow card and it was a clear goal scoring opportunity if IIRC.

The 90s was definitely the best era for football kits - some absolutely iconic kits of ours!

Got the ball quite a lot on the right then too… 👀

Pretty sure that 3-3 v Watford we played 3-4-1-2. Transfermarkt will only show where the player started the match too because when looking at players who came on as a sub, the position is blank. Last season, unquestionably Haji looked better at LW. That, however, doesn’t been he is to forever...

Personally, I don’t think so on the current viewing. It’s not out of the question though because we’re 8 points off that now. Looking at last season, we were 5/6th and finished below Boro who were probably around our position at the same point this year. Get a few good players in this month...

Any transfer where you make a profit cannot be seen as anything other than a success. Barring a select few clubs, the MO of any clubs transfer policy is to buy low and sell higher. We’re in a good position in our squad to make profit on most of our players, despite the bedwetters.

There isn’t enough data to definitively say EMC couldn’t be as effective on the right, I don’t think he’s played more than 90m over 2-3 spells there. Sakamoto, for all his positives as a player, really isn’t the game changer he’s made out to be at times. He’s pretty one dimensional at times...

Personally, I think EMC ends up on the right. Wright and EMC are just too too good to drop and Simms is just a better option than Sakamoto overall. I’ve consistently said that the logical end point of this team has got to be EMC-Simms-Wright as our front 3. It has by far the most firepower...

If he’s being brought in as a role player, then it could be a decent signing, I’d be more concerned if he’s being brought in as a starter. 2 CMs this window, a permanent and a loan and this lad could be a nice complementary piece to the squad.

You still need squad depth and it’s only taken 2 injuries to Wright and EMC to necessitate a formation change. At full strength, you’ll have a front 3 of EMC-Simms-Wright and you’ve only got 3 players on the bench for those spots; Bassette, BTA and Sakamoto. A major flaw in signing 2 strikers...

That’s an uncharitable take! The attendance figures speak for themselves and the outlook for our cup competitions isn’t great and hasn’t been for a while. The replay would’ve been on a weekday and attendances suppressed, especially our away support. For every glamour cup tie, there’s 2-3 ties...

I don’t mind saying it: we’re too good to get relegated, the same team came 9th last season. We've got two key players to come back that will make us 2-3 levels better than where we’re at atm. Equally, we’re probably 2-3 players short of competing for the playoffs. 11 points off playoffs isn’t...

It’s ifs and buts. Spurs may have approached the game if there was a chance of a replay on Saturday. They were probably willing to be more patient yesterday knowing they can pick off a tired non-league off in extra-time.

It’s easy to romanticise replays in these instances. In reality, most replays are just a chore. There was a sense of deja vu in our tie at the weekend, like many, I did not fancy doing Hillsborough again to make it 4 trips inside 12 months and was much happier getting the game over and done with...
