Really? The performance was identical to our playoff clash in Feb 2024. We actually had a best team out that too (bar Sheaf). Strangely, the narrative is that we ‘battered’ Norwich last year - no we didn’t!

On a serious note, how can we get the most out of him if he’s not started in consecutive games since September? It was the same story last season. Until Robins clued up that to get the most out of Simms, he just needed to double down on starting him week in and week out. His movement in the...

Yet, we should’ve went 2-0 up… I completely disagree that it was shameful. In fact, it was an archetypal away performance that has done us over a few times this season. They had 5 big chances and 3 of those were in the one goal mouth scramble caused by Allen’s mishap. We mostly defended well...

It’s a new regime pal. Lampard will have his own ideas and seems to view him as a striker. Again, EMC wasn’t in form the last time Haji played. Lampard will start both of them, so unless EMC is playing RW, Haji isn’t playing LW.

What about that isn’t true? Made most his career appearances and goals at ST. As for our team now, EMC and Wright are our two best attacking players and they both can’t play LW. So either one of them plays RW or Wright plays as a striker.

Haji Wright is a striker and he’s scored most of his goals this season playing as a striker. If we had a fully fit squad available tomorrow, he’d be playing striker.

There’s only one ‘Scandinavian Guy’…

I could plausibly believe that that the £2.5m for Bassette could eat into that budget but not both. We got a small fee for Godden and always needed a 3rd striker that must’ve been budgeted for. I’m not sure why Robins would have sanctioned signing another striker if it came out of ring-fenced...

We were going to sign a midfielder for £4 or 5m… where’s that money gone? I think some minor details may be getting lost in translation. To use one example, say FL wants to sign a CB, King would probably be within his rights to agree but on the condition we sold one of the 4 CBs we have e.g...

It’s pretty clear that Elon Musk doesn’t understand who Tommy Robinson really is. He and other non-British people on the right (particularly Americans) just see him as a figure fighting ‘rape gangs’ rather than seeing Tommy Robinson for what he really is.

If the ‘one in, one out’ applied to Tavares, Lati and a few other fringe players, we’re laughing. We had money available for signing in the summer that didn’t materialise, sold Palmer on deadline day so there really should be a decent chunk available for 1-2 players without any outgoings.

Many Americans, including Musk, just don’t understand our political system or political culture. Musk is pretty disposable for Trump now, he won’t be seeking reelection and the only risk to Trump would be losing the midterms and he becomes more or less a lame duck for the 2nd half of his...

19 goals last season not mean anything? 😂

That’s just not true.

It’s us. He’s not been given a chance to shine here. No consecutive starts in the league since September is a joke.

A winger does actually make sense, especially if Wright will play upfront upon his return. Just not as a priority.

You’re levelling blame for the equaliser at Simms?! 😂 Simms get goals when supplied with chances, that’s what he offers to the team and it’s perhaps the most valuable attribute in a striker. Lewandowski and Haaland are two strikers that look like they’re doing v little if they’re not scoring...

He’s overrated at this point in time.

Not really, we’re 6 points off relegation and there’s worse teams around us. We’re 11 points off the playoffs so anything could happen this season. A good run of form put us back in the convo and likewise, a skid mark of form has the opposite effect.

8 games in most parts of the season is 7-8 weeks. Which is double the time you’d have with players to instil your methods and tactics. It takes a good 3 months, if not more. Around Xmas, there’s barely any contact time with the players on the training pitch because it’s game-recover-repeat...
