The Blackburn formations I've seen including Fadz have been a back 3! With all our injuries and particular to Sakamoto for who we have no real replacement, I can see MR reverting to a back 3, starting against West Brom, probably in the shape of Lati, Thomas & Kitching. If MR had foreseen that I...

but how many Paul Williams' were there?

I'm not normally up for blaming clubs for twats that happen to support them unless they are clearly in the majority, as I kind of worry where that could eventually end up, but I think part of Wednesday's problem here is that the abuse aimed at Palmer was from a guy standing right next to some of...

Maybe playing Lusala is the only realistic alternative if we want to rest MVE, given Lati & Eccles are probably required to play elsewhere, but this does not mean we will be playing our entire under 21 team, as some of you keep asserting. He is only one player! Any other under 21's such as...

A point is fine if we then go and win at West Brom, but no win out of those 2 games will certainly make things difficult for us.

The more I think about it the more I'm with maybe playing a couple of our under 21's in the Maidstone game. The West Brom game the following Friday could be huge for us and we could really do with most of our strongest XI being well rested for that. Playing a team from so low in the pyramid...

Really? I think MR and the recruitment team are looking at all options. Yes we have brought in Saka, Wright, Torp and MVE from Europe, but we also brought in Collins, Thomas, Kitching and now EMC from League 1, and Dasilva on a free transfer from the Championship. The only clear and obvious...

Kipre's a bit of a brute and probably not MR's type. The Swansea lad Wood could be interesting though. He had a fantastic season last season and played very well against Gyokores at their place. He seemed pretty quick, and being at Swansea will be used to playing out from the back. Last Summer...

I thought yesterday was his best performance for us. He definitely comes across as reserved and shy, so the boost of confidence from scoring in consecutive games will hopefully really light him up for our upcoming games.

A piece of trivia for you while I was looking at this list which I hadn't previously known, but one of those players listed is the son of ex City player, Dean Gordon. Any ideas without googling?

You clearly didn't get the memo that football before 1992 doesn't count!

In light of the likelihood of losing O'Hare on a free transfer in the Summer I thought I would look at some of the players our Championship rivals could also lose that we might be able to bring in ourselves. I've left out over 30's as they don't seem to fit into MR's masterplan. Source is the...

You do know that I wasn't suggesting he play up front? I was simply responding to the post that Kelly is not a good footballer! btw Kelly's penalty in the play off final suggests he would easily be up to taking penalties for us if ever needed.

I think we are much more likely to get promoted than to win the cup, but given a choice I would prefer winning the cup. That achievement would easily spur us onto promotion the following season anyhow!

I disagree completely. Kelly's age might be against him and his lack of pace too, but he is a decent footballer. As an example I would refer you to the 'unseen' video from a few games back where his finishing skills put all our current forwards to shame.

Twitter/ X is full of wums getting a perverse kick out of getting bites, so the more Godden reacts the more they will double down & give it to him. I don't understand what any player gets out of being on there, particularly if they are sensitive to criticism. As has been pointed out by a few on...

I think robbiethemole has made the schoolboy error of trusting Clive's commentary to be an accurate reflection of the match being played in front of him :ROFLMAO:

On a completely level playing field we win, but I'm worried about the lack of recovery time after the Plymouth game. Players wouldn't have got to bed until well into the early hours this morning, so today they will probably just rest up, while tomorrow shouldn't be too taxing either with a game...

They don't need to improve though. If they carry on that poor level of form until the end of the season they will still end up on 77 points which will comfortably find them in the playoffs. For us to match that we would have to accrue 2 points a game for the rest of the season, which is pretty...

At least the bet was voided and you got your money back. If you had bet Wallace's replacement instead you would have lost the bet, even though he did his best to take Sakamoto's head off!
