    Centre forward problem

    When MR said it was King who now sorts the transfers, I think he specifically mentioned Simms as a King buy. Wonder if that was deliberate? Think we are adapting Simms to our style of play rather than playing to his strengths. I would say MR bought a few duds; be interesting to see how many of...

    I thought we were ok today but for two glaring misses by Wright and Palmer. Thought the ref was good apart from two major errors. He should have given play on when O'Hare was fouled and we were bearing down on goal. How do refs not see a deliberate attempt to stop the better players by...

    Simms

    Simms looks cumbersome which does not help people's view of him. Needs to use his size better and bully centre backs. Didn't look great against Wednesday away but won the ball on the press where Godden should have scored. Stone wall penalty when he was barged in the back. Think he set up Allen...

    Match Thread Sheffield Wednesday - Coventry City Match Thread - Saturday 20th Jan

    No excuse for racist gestures or chants. Think Palmer should leave the wind ups of the opposition fans and prove to be better than them. Ignore the fools. Football fans will always hate certain players. If it's just banter, best policy is to smile at them and stick the ball in the net. Racism...

    Half Term Report

    Well we started off as useless with a crap manager and were heading for relegation. Our recruitment was shit and Wright and Simms together were going to score less goals than own goals. Saka, Ayari and MVE were too lightweight and a waste of time. Now the team are world beaters and heading for...

    Are we about to lose the heartbeat of the club ?

    Obvs I want COH to stay as he is good for the team and apparently brilliant for team morale. He is nowhere near his best before the ACL injury and if he gets back to that level he is a £15 million player. I think when he was going to Burnley it was reported the fee was £7 to £9 million. Before...

    Thomas was clearly behind McNally when we signed him. Thomas loaned to L1, McNally to the Championship. Burnley would not sell us McNally only loan him. They clearly considered McNally the better player. Think McNally will come good at Stoke with the new manager but wonder which player will...

    Match Thread Middlesbrough - Coventry City Match Thread - Monday 1st Jan

    Well my shit predictions continue, although in my defence, I didn't realise they were missing hell of a lot of players through injury and the Asian Cup. They put 3 men on Saka and he still nearly had a hat trick. Unsure if the shot that hit the post was deflected.

    Kelly & Fadz

    There is a trend for the bigger clubs in Italy and the wider continent to keep an experienced old pro to play in the reserves/U21 teams to lend their wealth of experience to the younger players. Doesn't seem to have caught on here. If it is affordable, seems like a great idea.

    The Forwards Conundrum

    How many times over the years have I seen the same critical type post about every player who has ever pulled on a sky blue shirt since the days of Gary Mabbut's Knee. Sometimes (but not very often) they are right, but usually they are premature in writing off players. Can't think of any of the...

    Think Kitching is a huge loss thanks to the intransigence of the (can't organise a piss up in a brewery) EFL. I am rubbish at predictions but fear this a game we are likely to lose. I would give us an 80/20 chance in Middlesborough's favour of avoiding defeat. Think they are a better team than...

    Half the people on here probably don't know who Iggy Pop is let alone the tune in question. Spot on with the hilarious song reference even if it is about a serial killer.

    Swansea Ratings

    The important events define outcomes in games. Schoolboy error by Allen for their first goal. What was he thinking? Big boot out required. Wright is brilliant and terrible usually in equal measure throughout any game. Against Swansea, he scored two really good goals although Simms nicked the...

    Match Thread Coventry City - Swansea City Match Thread - Friday 29th Dec

    Reading what MR said about Sheaf heading the ball, I would assume he will not play unless MR is using misdirection. Knowing the stubborn stupidity of football authorities, I worry about the Kitchen decision but hope to be pleasantly surprised. Against Sheff Wed, was the first time I have been...

    Transfer targets

    O'Hare being offered a big bucks new contract is a really tough one. Today and in many earlier matches he has looked a bit off the pace and reluctant to tackle like he used to. Against Birmingham and in glimpses at Sunderland he looked back to his best. I still think he has some way to go to...

    We are so lucky

    If you are a football commentator, you really need to do your homework on the opposition so you can give context to what is happening on the pitch. Oggy and Clive know their football but take the time to get background information on the opposition. Too many lazy commentators on local radio or...

    Thought Eccles played well with a couple of defence splitting passes just over hit. Absolutely shagged out on 80 mins and should have been subbed but I guess MR didn't think we ha anyone better on the bench.
