If Dabo can't make it I'm pretty sure he will go with either Burroughs or Rowe, seeing as they are the ones that have played the position all pre season. Today would have been the perfect day to play Hamer there if MR was interested in doing so. The only other option might be if we bring in...

Mortimer didn't want to leave either. He was forced out because we still owed money on the Larry Lloyd transfer.

On your previous Gus Caesar point about us fans not realising how good you have to be to make it as a pro, I also remember from the 'Staying Up' book, which was maybe from Strachan again, commenting about Paul Telfer at the training ground, saying how when he kicked the ball it made a pinging...

In the book 'Staying Up' I remember that John Salako was similarly mentioned I think by Strachan saying how his confidence was easily eroded by comments he could hear from the sidelines. Being a winger meant he was going to hear those barbs more clearly. I suspect the same had happened earlier...

You can't recall mid season anymore. We would have to wait until January. Only 3 forwards would be a high risk strategy, particularly when there is no kid anywhere near able to step up. A few injuries and its goodbye to the season. By comparison Barnsley who only just stayed up, started last...

Kelly & McFadzean deserve the right to start next season, just as Doyle had done when we moved up to League 1. The Championship is high intensity though whereby injuries are inevitable, and the older players in the team particularly, will need to be rested on occasions. If Sheaf joins us his...

You are making the simple assumption that we will never deviate from playing one up front. One of the lessons I'm sure MR took from last season was the need to play differently when the need arises. Besides which, unlike other areas of the team up front is the one area academy cover is not...

The ticket receipt refers to' unlimited views' for £5 so I presume that means you can watch it back later.

Unlike some, I don't see us releasing Biamou & Bakayoko. Not yet anyway. We need at least 4 forwards in the squad (and that might not be enough over a whole season) to cover injuries, and the odd game where we get desperate and need to throw the big lads on.

Yes, Hutch wasn't the greatest goalscorer, but when he did score they were often special. Remember him scoring a cracking 30 yarder against Man U. Not read it myself, but I believe in Nick Hornby's fever pitch book he talks about Hutch's goal at Highbury where he basically dribbled past every...

I think the OP was suffering from a case of premature postulation

Completely agree on this. So many on here seem desperate for us to sign expensive, 'Championship experienced' players, rather than try out our own young players. Those 'experienced' players will likely be past their peak, while we do not know how far our young players can and will go. Everyone...

There was a lot of bullshit posted about Doyle suddenly turning into a disruptive force when he left. MR let him go for footballing reasons, and despite my reservations at the time was proved absolutely right to do so. Whenever I have heard any of his ex team mates talk about him it is with...

I think ifollow abroad is only cheaper for a season's pass, but a match pass would be £10 for them, and the same therefore as for fans in the UK. Clubs are obviously unwilling to offers season's passes within the UK, as it could negatively impact attendances once crowds are allowed back to...

This is supposed to be a compensatory offer for fans to still watch their their teams and financially support them while we are not allowed in to stadiums. As you point out i follow is not the same, but it is nevertheless cheaper than actually going to games. Given that, I don't see how people...

All the players that played with him commented how good he was even though he was 10+ years older than all of them. When I lived in Nottingham in 1989, when he was in his 40's I went to see Swansea play at Notts County just to see him play one last time. The weather was terrible and the pitch...

Mary Mungo Midge laid on coaches to matches from Rugby at one point? He's been persona non grata on here for a while now. Then again Hackney also lived in Rugby :)

I suspect the EFL have bottled this, and that the decision will increase Wednesday's chances in their appeal against their points deduction. Don't think they want a league full of aspirational Prem teams disfigured by multiple points deductions.
