Burton have a midfielder called Scott Fraser who is also excellent so might've been him. 3 goals, 4 assists this season and is real quality. I know Allen scored against us at home though.

I haven't, no. But I was speaking in general when you see these U23 games and they're played a training ground/non-league stadium with cut-up surfaces and bobbles the size of Mount Vesuvius. Last place I'd want Jodi to be.

I don't want Jones playing at all on any sub-standard U23 pitches.

Think i'd prefer a straight swap as well. Then bring Baka on to go two up top if we need a goal.

Would take him back in an instant. Won games for us all by himself last season. Accrington away anyone?

Really like how Robins has been playing the formation in recent weeks, turning it into a 3-4-2-1 with Shipley and Westbrooke as the 2 buzzing around the striker and making runs. It works because they're so hard-working and willing to go forward all the time. Wonder if we'll go back to 3-5-2 when...

Definitely playing so much better lately. Playing further forward has been a great move by Robins.

Wilson Rose - McFadz - Hyam Dabo - Kelly - Walsh - McCallum Westbrooke - Shipley Baka That is...uninspiring.

Go fuck yourself.

I'm fine with arguments. The homophobic language is a step too far.

Surely that's ban-worthy.

Probably also keeping Dave Boddy in his position. Someone to act as a barrier between Fawaz and the football side of things. Then I'd be more open to him owning the club.

I'd need two things to get me to back Fawaz: A) Promise or concrete plans for a new ground. B) A promise that Mark Robins and the current coaching/scouting/technical set-up won't be touched unless things go drastically wrong.

The top players had fake companies created for them or houses bought for them. Crazy levels of cheating.

The physicality issue is a real thing. Was watching this video earlier of Troy Deeney training with Watford U23s and the difference in body shape between Deeney and the kids is crazy. Do the lads do any gym work these days to get themselves ready to go against actual grown men in league football?

He is yes, and now he's joined the Athletic he focuses on much more than just Arsenal. The man has very real sources and connections.

For those calling BS, David Ornstein only usually says something if he is 100% sure of it, which is what worries me about this. It's not like he's going to make up Coventry City news for clicks either. Having worked in sports journalism, this info is almost certainly coming from Fawaz...

That bench is grim. What's the issue with Hiwula?

Apparently Stoke are getting Alex Neil of Preston, who would be going from 2nd in the league to 24th. Weird one.

Feels like we've been consistently terrible in the Youth Cup for a few years now.
