    Ex Player Watch

    4 goals in 43 league games for us. He should have had 20 that season. He was like a precursor to O’Hare in many ways, ridiculous work rate for a forward, exciting on the ball, fast. But he missed so many chances that by the end I wouldn’t even get excited when the ball came to him, was just...

    Missed Loan - Callum Doyle

    If we have to shout ‘he’s behind you!’ every time at Simms, then I’m not sure he was worth the 8 million!

    Ex Player Watch

    Most frustrating player I’ve watched since we were relegated. Couldn’t hit a cow’s barn with an arse banjo. Or whatever the phrase is.

    Things that don't happen nowadays

    They’ll all be 40 now. If they reformed they’d be the Sky Blue Bellies!

    Things that don't happen nowadays

    A nice normal pair of black football boots with a nice normal pair of uncut football socks inside them!

    Gyokeres

    You'd think the used ones would be a bit cheaper than 12 quid, given that half the pages will be stuck together. I'd expect the 29 quid Collectible one to at least be a pop-up book too for that price!

    Transfer Rumour Dylan Vente

    Heard we’ve been linked to Al Dente too. Although he’s a little undercooked for some people.

    Transfer Rumour Billy Sharp

    Can’t remember the last time we actually had a forward with a decent aerial threat. That alone as an option, for the last 20 mins, is worth considering.

    Transfer Rumour Billy Sharp

    We have a young squad. Robins has always liked experienced pros around for the youngsters to learn from. Doyle, Matty James etc. Fadz, Kelly, Sharp would be one for each area of the pitch. While underwhelming, with 9 on the bench this year I don’t see it as such a big issue. We don’t see what...

    Which brand did you get? Would recommend the SlowPoke™

    Transfer Rumour Ellis Simms

    The wing backs sitting back a lot was exactly the problem. A back 5 with 2 sitting midfielders. Fortunately we had Gyokeres unique attributes which meant when we were forced to go long and playing counter attacking football for most of 2nd half of the season, it was relatively successful. It was...

    Transfer Rumour Ellis Simms

    Getting a top quality right wingback in is probably the most important piece of the puzzle now. Creative attacking wingbacks that are genuinely comfortable in the final third will go a long way to easing the loss of the other aspects of Gyokeres game. I know people will look more at our centre...

    Transfer Rumour Ellis Simms

    They’ve probably double downed and asked for an even bigger reduction to the box price because Doug’s now shown he’s loaded.

    Transfer Rumour BNC

    Cheesy I know, but I’d have him back just on the off chance we could get the whole CBS singing AC/DC. ‘Cause I’m B.N.C. I’m dynamite! B.N.C and I’ll win the fight!

    They don’t call him Rupert the Bare for no reason!

    Last summer v this summer

    I don’t think there’s a convincing argument for keeping any of the players released based on their championship performances. Dabo regressed after injuries, Rose never really grabbed his opportunities and put himself in a position where his performances forced him to get picked and Walker was...

    Luke Mcnally

    You’re confirming signings, that can’t be announced due to circumstances outside the clubs control, and at the same time bemoaning no new reinforcements. Just stick to the bit you’re pissed off about and stop trying to twist every little thing to suit your narrative. All you’re achieving is...

    Gyokeres

    I’ve heard the tour might be off anyway. Doug’s insisted on packing everyone’s bag for them and the players are angry that they would have to lie at the check in desk when asked if they’ve packed their bags themselves.

    While making every little jab sound like it was almost the knock out blow!

    I wonder if we tapped him up first?
