This signing makes no sense at all. We already have Rose, Hyam, McFadzean, Pask, Drysdale and Williams so central defence is unlikely to be a priority for strengthening. He is not a ball playing defender so doesn't fit into the mould of our team, and hasn't exactly shone in games against us in...

Villa would be stupid not to offer O'Hare a contract, even if they don't want him, otherwise they can't claim a compensation fee for him. The Villa fans I know all believe he has been offered a contract!

He looks more of a defender without the girly long hair!

That depends whether you're looking short term or long term. If Villa or West Ham will be tougher games for us they will be for the rest of the league too. Whichever teams come down they have such a huge advantage with parachute payments that they will all be favoured to go straight back up...

It has to be the 'legacies forged' one for me as it focuses on all our managers that have won us trophy's. The others that are solely MR focused could look a little silly if MR should leave us, certainly more so than the one which also includes JH/ Sillett & Curtis, which would still have some...

They always cared more than they made out. Granted, given that we haven't played them for 20 years, their younger generations won't get it, but the older ones I know seem to have a very good memory of Cov Villa games from the past, which contradicts the disinterest in us they always claim.

With the Black Lives Matter issue being forward in everyone's minds the 2 tone kit takes on even more significance. The cultural heritage of our City's link to 2 tone is something to be proud of, and I would be disappointed if we do not continue with a 2 tone reserve kit into next season and beyond.

Two very poor teams. Unreal to think we were at that level only 2 years ago.

This Hamer story is feeling more and more like a hoax. I don't buy that he's somewhere in the UK, locked in a room for 14 days waiting to sign for us.

Agree on this. Our current team are streets ahead of Mowbray's team in that there are no obvious weak points. Mowbrays team were decent going forward but poor defensively. Goalkeeping was shared between Charles-Cook and Burge, while Ricketts and Stokes were the best of the defenders that played...

I am glad we got rid of Burge and bought in Marosi. We could not have played in the style we do with Burge in the team, and the defenders in front of him would not have been so confident. That said, I can't bring myself to hate him or hope his career dives like some do on here. He was part of...

Strachan, Hutchison and Wise were all internationals who had plied their trade at 'big' clubs, and were a whole different level from Pugh. I just don't see it happening, but to be fair if MR decided he was the right man for us then I'm not going to argue with him. I think we all need to take...

Hardly surprising though. I think most of us were surprised he didn't transfer to the Championship last season, and I still believe he could hold his own at that level. Alongside ourselves Sunderland had the best defensive record in the league, which was largely due to him. Despite that I don't...

Just doesn't fit into the transfer model the club have so I don't see it myself. Don't want to return to those days of signings aging pros like Michael Hughes and Colin Cameron, who tend to hold young players back, rather than improve them.

QUOTE="cc84cov, post: 2017719, member: 9904"]Don’t see us changing formation tbh unless Jobello can play in the advanced midfield position (the box) I don’t see where he features he didn’t really get going but I do think there is a player in there. That goes for Jodi Jones also although I feel...

Read it back - I mentioned that loss! You are right though, we had no chance that season. This was a low point under SISU's reign, where they effectively gave up on the football club, allowing Andy Thorn to preside over a team that lost the likes of Westwood, Turner, Gunnarsson and King in the...

Although we generally finished in the bottom half of the Championship, we did quite well in our 1st game every season. The only one we lost was in our relegation season. Before that we had 2001/02 Stockport (A) 2-0, 2002/03 Sheff Utd (H) 2-1, 2003/04 Walsall (H) 0-0, 2004/05 Sunderland (H) 2-0...

On the surface this seems a great signing (if it happens), but then again I remember a lot of people on here being equally excited by video clips of Kastaneer last Summer, and another from the Dutch leagues from way back, Ellery Cairo. While there has been no confirmation from MR or the club...

If he's on a one year deal we wouldn't get a penny for him at the end of the season.

I would have thought we will continue with the same recruitment policy in relation to permanent and loan signings, preferring younger (hungrier) promising players over more expensive experienced ones. In our 3 years since relegation MR has only brought in 2 over 30's in Doyle and McFadzean, who...
