On first impressions I expected him to be bigger. I wasn't overly impressed and while yes the 2nd goal was a great free kick, before their player took it, it looked like he was giving him too much to shoot at (a bit like Seaman did for Koeman back in the day), and I felt a goal was very likely...

Brighton will know that he has such potential though that after a year in Germany and a year in the Championship that the next logical progression is for him to play in the PL, and the only way to test him is to provide him with that experience themselves. He might not be a regular of course...

Looks like Bet365 will be streaming the game.

Drysdale is also comfortable playing out from the back, as is Eccles if we look to use him there too. I think the lesson MR would have picked up from last season is to pick and choose your games to play that way and he will look to vary our style, but basically don't play out from the back...

So do Forest play in Nottingham or not? By your definition they don't!!

Rubbish, you're just showing your ignorance of the geography of Nottingham. The figure you're quoting is the city of Nottingham only, but the conurbation of Nottingham is double that. By your definition Forest wouldn't count as a Nottingham club anyway as their ground is in Rushcliffe and not...

I get that Reid was not going to be rushed in last season when we still had McCallum, regardless of the injury setbacks he suffered, but given he was a regular in the SPL, and therefore playing at a higher level than Rose was when he joined, I would have expected him to be pushing for a first...

In regard to loans, and keeping in mind it is still over 3 weeks until the season kick offs I just checked out when our loans from last season arrived at the club which should give us a guide to what we might expect in the next few weeks. Giles had already arrived by this time last pre season...

Doubt it given he was reportedly at Ryton, but maybe there wasn't time to sort him out a visa to travel to Spain.

That applies to the better loans that will be available, who are closer to being part of PL squads. If McCallum does go to QPR on loan it will be because Norwich have already decided he isn't close to making their PL squad. I'm guessing its pretty much Norwich's decision to send him to QPR so...

Don't think Grealish volunteering would have made the slightest difference. Always felt that Southgate was reluctantly playing Grealish as it was, and ultimately he didn't trust him. In hindsight it appears Southgate made the mistake of judging his best penalty takers from training, where the...

The ongoing delay could also be related to international clearance. Got a vague recollection that when Baker came back training with us when we were in league 2 from his stint in India that there were complications over his release and registration too, so it could just be down to a bureaucratic...

None of us know how good Reid is or might be, as he was injured as soon as he arrived here. He was clearly highy rated in Scotland so It might be that MR wants to have a proper look at him in our friendly games to see what level a new left back needs to be, either first team definite, first team...

If it is a done deal as many seem to think, maybe its not been announced because he's one of the people affected by the covid outbreak.

Cov every time. Obviously want England to win, but I am not as emotionally invested watching England, and it wouldn't have the same long term impact. After one enjoyable night it would be back to dull friendlies & qualifying matches at Wembley, whereas for Cov it could transform the club (if...

Perhaps they saw his youtube clips! It's always enough for a number of our fans.

I've got a feeling that MR will be looking to loans to strengthen defensively. If so, the better loan players from PL clubs are unlikely to become available until after the start of the season once the PL clubs have settled on their squads, so we might have to be patient for a while yet...

Get yourself sorted with a VPN and get an overseas i follow season ticket. That way if you are not able to get to games you are still contributing to the club coffers, and get to see the games.

Crooks is pretty limited at Championship level, but very effective in League 1. Unless we were going to change to a more physical long ball game I wouldn't want him to come to us.

Yes agreed, you definitely can't argue that they are poorly supported, just that their away support doesn't match up to the level of their home support (not when they've come to Cov anyway).
