    Team for Wednesday

    MR rarely annoys me and I get he has often had a limited squad to choose from in previous seasons but, he always seems to throw away our chances in the cups. This cup we often go out early playing seriously weakened teams and even in the FA Cup we underestimated Wrexham. Obviously, we have to...

    Has seeing the lads play made you more or less optimistic about the season

    Don't think the defence is sorted yet and hope its just that they need time to gel. Our left flank was exposed all match. Eccles was playing out of position and along with Fadz looked our best defender. Thomas looked great but made the mistake for the goal which turned the match. Our defence was...

    Hamer

    Oggy nailed it. If he won't sign, we have to sell him and try to realise the highest figure possible. That means a Prem or Championship club if Hamer will move. Oggy said a player running down his contract is no good to us as they have that will I get injured thing in the back of their mind...

    Because of our Wembley appearance and the late arrival of the signings we again are behind a good few of the other clubs in playing competitive friendlies. Exeter for example had played 8 to our 5 as pointed out by MR. The manager said we were not ready and our defensive lapses showed that...

    Match Thread ⚽️ Leicester City vs Coventry City Match Thread - Sunday 6th Aug

    Like everyone else I thought Thomas looked really good but, he let Vardy get ahead of him for his chance and was culpable for their first goal which changed the match. Must do better in these crucial moments. They got to the line too often down our left, McAteer had acres of space and their best...

    Operation Premiership

    The big questions will be are Thomas, Lab, Binks and Milan better than Doyle, McNally and BNC? Are Simms and Wright better than Yok? Will Hamer stay? Will Wilson have another brilliant year and can Fadz pull another great year out of the hat on ageing legs? Big shoes to fill. No doubt, more...

    Transfer Rumour Panzo coming back?

    Forest paid 1.25 million for him. I would imagine they want their money back. Adi and Lawrence can improve him even further. Looked as if he was enjoying himself last season even when he was out of the team. Would take him on a permanent and £1.5 million would be about right. Depends if the...

    Championship Predictions

    Leeds are the only team of the three relegated that have a manager with a proven track record in this division. Leicester's manager failed in his previous managerial job and Southampton's manager has never won promotion from any league despite playing attractive football. Logic dictates the...

    Recruitment

    Think with the Vik sale we have been able to follow a policy of buying and developing rather than loaning players, developing them and seeing them go on to better things (see Maatsen). McNally is a case in point. Appears we wanted to buy him and was quoted a daft figure. Burnley feel he has...

    Recruitment

    Did we nick him, or was it Leicester cutting their wages with relegation? Just wondering. Without any inside knowledge, I would be surprised if Shea didn't have a major input.

    Where will We finish

    Going to take a while to gel with so many new players. Can Fadz and Wilson have great seasons again? Are our new defenders as good as the ones we have lost? If we lose Gus, it will be more difficult. Will O'Hare come back firing? Can the new strikers do the business? I'm going for playoffs...

    Fadz

    Write Fadz off at your peril. No one goes on forever and the staff will know when its time to leave him out. We are building a squad and I think all players will get a rest at some point. MR likes to give players a rest when they return from International duty and we are signing quite a few...

    Championship thread 23/24

    After the Stoke game at home last year, I thought they were certs for promotion this year. For the rest of the season they were great away and shit at home. Also, most of their best players were loans. Their manager got Sunderland promoted from L1 when loads had failed. Am I right in thinking...

    Transfer Rumour Haji Wright

    I started a thread a good while ago asking if we thought we could compete with Rangers for players. The general consensus was no as they were so much bigger than us. SISU were in charge at the time so probably accurate and we had not sold Vik for £20 million. How quickly times have changed if it...

    Rocking all over the world

    No way you would be able to park near Highfield Rd if the ground was still there. Times have changed and car ownership has rocketed.

    Hamer

    Think Gus will go. I personally think on his day he is the best midfielder in the Championship, and unfortunately, it will be very difficult to keep him. Need to get the best deal possible. Would love McNally back, don't know anything about Thomas.

    Transfer Rumour Confirmed - Bradley Collins

    I would say on form an upgrade on Moore who seemed to lose the plot after a great first season. We need continuous improvement in every position and his signing makes us stronger. Wilson's shirt to lose. Can he save pens?
