Not sure he’s ahead of Waghorn and Walker, rightly or wrongly. However, I would certainly back him as more an impact sub than both of them. He has pace and his instinct is to run behind - that’s different to our other four strikers. Let’s just hope this year he’s picked out when he does it. It...

Nonsense. Don’t you read this forum, we’re in for a terrible season.

Anyone else got kids who are refusing to sleep due to the heat. Not their fault as Christ it’s hot. But it’s definitely a frustration and a lot of moving around I could do without at this time of night and in this heat.

The purpose of the thread aside, this is really encouraging to read. It certainly seems a happy camp, with great camaraderie and togetherness, so it’s great to see it confirmed.

Terrible news, he’s massively influential to our style of play and is a unique player we’ll struggle to get a like for like replacement for. He was also getting very close to, if not already, at cult hero status (at least by modern standards) so it makes it an even harder hit to take. He seemed...

Not sure of the negativity around this, or in general. We’ve lost one CB and replaced him with two. Both young but not necessarily less experienced than JCS, as pointed out by others. I also think we’re in danger of looking back with rose tinted glasses here, JCS was good and I’d have liked to...

Not sure I really get any negativity. Yea he’s young but so what. He suits our style of play based on his stats and anecdotal evidence. Hell also have McFadz, Hyam, Bidwell (?) around him who are all experienced players. For the record I also don’t think he’ll be first choice, I expect another...

Ideally yes. Even better; one of the 23’s looks good enough to provide cover, but I’ve no idea if anyone looks close.

Happy path; he’s an addition to add competition to our midfield. Suddenly a central rota of COH, Palmer, Sibley, with Hamer, Sheaf, Eccles rotating behind, plus Allen to cover both halves of the square and Kelly too. That’s pretty great strength in depth. We sell nobody, get a LWB and LCB in...

Annoyed about that really - I was keen to see what he could actually do (or not). If he has done something to piss off MR, what an idiot! He must know he’s on the fringes and needs to prove himself.

Generally speaking not a fan of grown men or women in replica shirts, but the away kit is ridiculously good, so I can’t blame anyone for wearing it! I’ll be getting one, plus two for the kids (who are too young to care) and it’s that good I might even surprise the no interest in football, never...

It isn’t though tbf. In a lot of games there is a player who runs it And spoiler alert; it isn’t always the one pinging the Hollywood passes.

On the LWB front, many of us as fans see a massive hole there, however based on SBB comments it isn’t one of the three key positions MR wants to fill. For various reasons we didn’t see too much of him, but officially we signed a proven LWB in January. I wonder if the above just confirms MR sees...

I’m not really sure any of that first paragraph is accurate. His first few games his crossing looked a real asset, and he looked technically decent, but both of those things became the exception and not the rule as time went on. He also isn’t dynamic enough for the system we play, he’s one...

Anything in double figures is pretty great business. Ideal world we keep the big three (plus Sheaf) and enhance the team. However we know it’s likely one goes and Hamer is the softer blow. He can pick a pass, run a game and add a creative spark, but that isn’t especially unique. COH is pivotal...

What else can you say about this, other than it’s fucking mental. More unrest in the US to come.

MR isn’t Mowbray, we won’t end up in that mess again with one of the worst pre Dwain squads assembled.

What a tease! Appreciate it‘s likely sensitive stuff and this is a public forum; but any more you can share?!

Have I missed where someone rumbled who BD / their source is or something?! You’ve made a few similar comments.

Said it when his name was first mooted; pretty happy with the signing. Clearly has ability and was once well thought of, just needs the right management and support around him; something he’ll get here. We know how important the mental side of the game is. Him and COH behind Gyokeres is a...
