    This thread is like being on Mastermind (not that I would know), trying to work out what's going on and what all the cryptic posts mean. It reminds me a bit of a time when a poster called Don something or other used to post. couldn't be him though, he disappeared long ago.

    Amadou Bakayoko - Confirmed 2 Year Deal

    Yes, it's unfair on the lad and doesn't help the team either. We don't like undisclosed fees but I suppose this is a good example of where it would have been an advantage. I don't think a fee has ever been officially quoted for Bakayoko but it came from somewhere. Some of my recent posts have...

    Amadou Bakayoko - Confirmed 2 Year Deal

    I think that unfortunately for Bakayoko he apparently cost us about £200k, which is the sort of fee we would expect to pay for someone like, for instance, James Collins. Someone with a proven scoring record even in a lower league. So people are comparing his previous record against that and see...

    Match Thread Coventry City at Gillingham Match Thread - Saturday 25th Aug

    Looks like MR has been reading this forum and taken the advice of some of us. Hopefully we can go on from here and play a settled team and formation

    Robins has to go in the summer / 02476 555 555

    But that's exactly my point. We should have been using pre-season games to much better effect, trialists and kids could / should have been played in 1 or 2 games but the whole point of pre-season is to get your starting team ready. We could have used training games to to try out trialists and...

    Robins has to go in the summer / 02476 555 555

    I'm not one of those saying Robins should go, but having recently posted my worries, and got involved in discussions about how many games the team should be allowed before we start to panic, the statistics below shocked me a bit. If you include pre-season we have already played 11 games...

    Biamou Injury

    That's the problem with social media, so easy to type something you don't really mean, and I don't think Grendel meant he was pleased that Biamou got a major injury.

    Maddison's mate in trouble

    goes a long way to explaining why he was so crap when he was loaned back to us.

    Robins has to go in the summer / 02476 555 555

    So subtle I had to google it. Strangely there are many towns & cities in UK with taxi companies with the number 555555. Must be some joined up thinking going on there at least.

    Robins has to go in the summer / 02476 555 555

    I agree with that, but this is what worries me. Anecdotal comments about unrest and negativity at the club from several respected forum members (and others) The number of players used in the first 4 games (18) Multiple different systems played in the first 4 games Body language of some players...

    Robins has to go in the summer / 02476 555 555

    Its not really about panicking or adapting to a new league though is it? There is clearly something wrong at the club which, unless sorted quickly will drag us down. We had money to spend in the close season, and it's not unreasonable to expect the majority of that to be spent wisely on players...

    Yes, Bayliss is an exceptional talent and that was obviously recognised at the club prior to his first senior game. But that doesn't explain why Ponti has been overlooked this season from a first team place point of view. Ponti started 2 or 3 games at the start of last season, and then was...
