Hadn't we sent him on loan there, where he wasn't well received being an ex Forest player? If he wasn't always the most motivated player, he was certainly up for this game :)

EMC very unfortunate to have his goal disallowed!

I like the idea of having the players wait in the centre circle when a keeper goes down injured. Not so keen though on the comment made by the CWR commentary team that this was a kind of unofficial time out, and that there was some kind of inevitablity that time outs would be introduced into...

Can't see Gyokores moving in January as Sporting are more likely to be able to exact the release fee, or closer to it in the Summer when more teams will be in a position to bid for him.

Not as dirty as Donal Murphy!! That's one for the over 60's :ROFLMAO:

I've read this written by a few posters. Given he was clobbered when clearing the ball near the goal line and was put on his backside, what was he exactly supposed to do? He got back up and tried to get back in position as quick as he could. If he had stayed down feigning injury he would have...

Yes, if Rudoni can consistently cross as well as yesterday its almost criminal not to play him wide!

I first saw Smith playing in an FA youth cup semi final against Man U at HR. He was the standout player on either side, so I wasn't too surprised when he made it into the 1st team. When he did he was very good. He would kind of drop his shoulder then just beat his marker for pace, and he was a...

Defensively I completely understand dropping Dasilva for this game as Luton would simply put a big guy on him and play long to him trying to exploit his lack of height. Hopefully MR's instinct on this proves correct as this wouldn't be the first time for his team selection to get slaughtered on...

If we had somehow kept Pearce our cup winning team would also have been top 6 in the league from 1987 to 1990!!

Warwick University chess club?? A bunch of unathletic nerds who do their best to avoid any physical acivity 🤫 Chess has absolutely nothing in common with football, which is a fluid constanly moving sport with unlimited permutations which far exceeds chess, and you can't reasonably compare the...

Simms is such a frustrating player. He really should be making more of his physical attributes and providing a real challenge to defenders marking him. He is often beaten in a foot race, allowing the defender in front of him, when he then inevitably gives the defender a gentle unnescessary push...

Yes, for someone who generally is a clean striker of the ball, that's 2 similar chances he's had where the goalkeeper was out of position and wasted. I think the other game might have been Watford. On both occasions he seemed to snatch at his chance, but in each case he probably had time to...

Of course it does, but even if not he also took on Rotherham and Barnsley from seemingly impossible positions and improved their situations beyond reasonable expectation. His track record also includes 2 promotions & regular trips to Wembley so I'm not sure how much more you want :rolleyes:

It means that in my opinion if we get rid of MR we are actually more likely to be relegated from the Championship. It is not a given that a new manager will improve things, while making a bad choice can easily turn a bad situation into an even worse one. As it is I still believe that under MR...

Relegated from the Championship!!

All the relegated teams last season changed managers too!

It is a justifiable standpoint though as change does not automatically mean things get better. Whoever the 3 relegated clubs end up being, the likelihood is that all will make managerial changes sometime in the season, just like last season, where they all actually made multiple changes...

Is that definite? I thought the rule only applied to players that had gone through a club's academy? Lati was not a youth player at Swansea but joined them from Man City's youth set up. I thought that no fee applied, for the same reason we received nothing for Gunnarsson when he left for Cardiff...

You mean only 1 chance on target! That doesn't alter the fact that Simms, Eccles, Bassette and Wright had relatively easy chances to score but fluffed them. In isolation yesterday's performance wasn't too bad, and I think a draw would have been a fair outcome. However on the back of another...
