Sheaf said the same in his man of the match interview with Sky. Hamer has been a major part of this club and its upward momentum these last few years, and he was clearly attached to it. MR said as much after the Leicester game commenting that while we would miss Hamer, he would also miss us...

This overweight unfit athlete always out on the piss did alright for us!! Some of the negative comments about him are classic 'spurned lover' stuff :)

He is a decent player, and does possess moments of magic. If O'Hare can return the same player though I would be starting him ahead of Palmer.

Garry Thompson was one I remember being really gutted by. A player who gave his all and was effectively forced out by JH.

You know he's injured again?

Bollocks to that. I was one of Hamer's biggest advocates here and was completely opposed to selling him at any price rather than him leave on a free. So many of our fans are have grown used to SISU's giveaway approach to selling our players and fallen into line with that approach, but DK's...

If MVE is going to be the player we want him to be then we need to play him, even if he isn't 100% ready right now. It'll take a lot longer for him to grow into his role by leaving him out of the team rather than playing him.

I see McAtee is on Man City's bench tonight so might not be going anywhere on loan this season - not sure about Doyle though! It only seems right that we should have a Doyle on our teamsheet :)

The more I've thought about it the more I think Grimes would be a disastrous signing for us, even though I think he's a decent enough player. Our team is built around quick counter attacking and even with Hamer gone, who was the perfect midfielder for that style, our new signings up front and at...

Now doesn't seem the greatest moment to be dumping McFadzean!!

It has often been the case at Cov, that our fans take home grown talent for granted. Eccles is a good example of that. He is a lot better player than some of our fans recognise, although that hasn't been helped by having to regularly help out the team by playing out of position. I think this...

Eccles was mostly a first choice player last season. Only 7 players made more League starts, so more often than not he was in our starting XI.

That's a great signing for them.

Smallbone has started in the Southampton team so won't be going anywhere. The more I've thought about Grimes the more I hope we look elsewhere. He is suited to a different style of play and we need more dynamism than he is likely to bring.

I don't think a single player can replicate what Hamer provided us last season so to my mind we will need 2 replacement midfielders. Sheff U had McAtee & Doyle on loan last season so I wonder what Man City's plans are for them this season? O'Brien could also be a loan option from Forest...

Although as I've pointed out earlier, that I'm not averse to the £37 price for Cat A games, I do agree that prices should be made more affordable for young adults. Not good to price them out and alienate them when they are the future supporters we will rely on to pay those top whack prices in...

The Stoke thing would depend entirely on how we were playing, same as West Brom at our place last season.

£37 only seems like a disgrace because we have not had particularly high prices to pay in recent years relative to a lot of our rivals. Do you want us to get in the PL? If you do, be careful what you wish for because prices would likely be even higher! £37 is not unreasonable if you compare to...

Rubbish - same was said last year and we got our biggest crowds for category A games. I also remember claims that West Brom were going to boycott last season, but such is the fickleness of fans that they won a few games and then sold their allocation. The same will apply to Sunderland...

Which is a gradual process! Playing our first team tomorrow night will not automatically have those players firing on all cylinders on Saturday. Instead just banging another 90 minutes + into them tomorrow, with only 2 full days before Saturday will result in tired legs and tired minds at the...
