A team sheet with two young goalkeepers on the bench, plus neither of our best central midfield players. I feel for the supporters paying a lot of money to travel to sunderland to see that selection.

I remember when Sillett was replaced with Terry Butcher. As a supposed big name….. that turned out to be a bad decision. Our football was dire under his leadership

My bet is our new first team coach will be someone who went through C-M Roberts coach development program at the PL

This decision by Doug King has echos of Sam Longson sacking Brian Clough at Derby County. Longson hated being eclipsed by Clough in the media. Is Doug King another man who can’t stand being in the shadow of the manager?

Noel Cantwell turned us into a negative team. Some of the football was turgid. A total contrast to JH. We went from being a progressive club and team into a dour one and lost thousands of supporters

I was there at that match and I remember thinking this duplicated a few of the drab o-o draws we had under Don Howe.

In terms of the greatest players I was luckily enough to witness at Cov. Bill Glazier, Dennis Mortimer, Gary Gillespie & Gary McAllister …. Although the first two never got the international recognition they deserved…. In BG’s case being behind the world’s greatest keeper in Gordon Banks!

If any move to United is to materialise, then a few other forwards will need to be sold off.......and given those players inflated salaries....they'll be difficult to shift.

I can't see Vik moving until next summer, due to CL. As for the prospect of him joining MU, then that would depend on United offloading a load of rubbish forwards first. I can't see too many clubs being interested in a number of players on £200k a week, unless MU decide to finance 50%+ of the...

The pressure of players surrounding referees along with the verbal interactions/abuse are definitely part of most teams DNA and obviously promoted by the coaching staff. It's one of the dark arts of the game to intimidate referees and needs to be stamped out. As many have said in previous posts...

What I'm surprised about is that the PL don't buy in referees from other countries. Especially considering the standard in this country.

Having re looked at the goal. There are a couple of things that need to be considered. Dovin had a restricted view as lati was blocking his line of sight. Also, he was moving across his goal following the cross ball. The body shape of the qpr player was for a shot into the far corner. He...

If we manage to get a result at PNE, I might need to lie down in a dark room until I realise it wasn't a dream. I've always found their ground to be incredibly depressing! My team for Saturday, taking into account international games [BTA selected, as he's only sat on the bench for Ghana's...

I'm pretty pessimistic about tomorrow night given the contrasting fortunes of both teams. I really hope we play well with a high energy display. I'm slightly concerned that if Kitching plays he'll get sent off. I'd take a scrappy 1-0 win now or even a draw.

Given the minimal communications from the club on AV leaving his post, it points to there being the potential for an employment tribunal. Both sides will be very careful in any statements, so to ensure they do not prejudice any legal process. I expect the clubs insurance policy will cover the...

Possibly cash flow. They're in the process of establishing their new headquarters, etc, which would take priority over owning a football club

We have a young squad in comparison to most in this league & we’ve regularly seen teams good at the “dark arts” beat us. That’s when you need a strong aggressive leader to counter act the bullies. We’ve been too nice.

The major thing that I feel this team is lacking is leadership on and off the pitch. Doyle, Kelly & Fadz led by example and set a work ethic and positive culture. All successful teams have strong characters leading them…. Roy Keane, Patrick Viera, etc. Who’s ours???

I can’t understand why he’s not on the bench then, for one of MR’s cameo substitutions in the 90+5 minutes 😉

We might need to send the bailiffs for repossession of Hamer, due to outstanding payments?
