I said after the Sturm Graz game that he worried me with the amount of times he was getting turned. Very glad to see my worry was misplaced :)

Wigan and Barnsley both went up last season with strikers under 6ft leading the line. You don't need a target man in football anymore, just good playmaking and finishing. Like when we were top of the league last year with Arma as the lone frontman.

The 3-5-2/3-4-3 is designed to maximise possession with 3 in midfield as well as having bodies in defence, building from the back. By the very nature of it being rather defensive, you have to give up on certain attacking principles that are tried and tested in English football, namely getting an...

Surely a link between those Rose rumours surfacing and his agent turning up at the club for a meeting?

Dominate: To have power and influence over. Ball: a solid or hollow spherical or egg-shaped object that is kicked, thrown, or hit in a game. Ta-da.

Before this season, Brody posted one CCFC-related pic on Instagram in three years. Has already done 4 or 5 CCFC pics this season.

Something along the lines of "how am I back here again" with some emojis. Definitely read like: "I did really well when I went out on loan last season, but now they're bringing in somebody in my position and I'm back at square one again ffs"

Little tweet from Ryan Haynes that is probably related.

McBean has the same agent as Andy Rose, WMG. They also represent a player from Sunderland called Lynden Gooch, who will almost certainly be going out on loan this season....

Don't you dare get my hopes up....

Any notable/exciting players to watch out for this year?

Was fun while it lasted....:angelic:

Jay Emmanuel-Thomas has joined Gillingham on loan from QPR for the season. Would have been perfect for us: a big, strong forward who is quick and technically skilled.

Looks like it could be happening.

Would hazard a guess that he will be out 6-8 weeks if partial medial ligament surgery is needed. Back around the start of October, missing 10 games. If it's a full reconstruction then could be 3-5 months.

By "Vincelot wanted to leave" Mowbray could easily mean that Vincelot was told about a deal and said "okay". It doesn't mean that he went to TM's office and demanded a move. Mowbray mentioning the wanting to leave and doubling his wages part is classic PR and damage limitation. Instantly puts...

Ivor Lawton can play the role of tough-tackling midfielder but he's out till September and is very inexperienced. McCann can probably fill that role as well if he ever actually signs. But still, what a fucking depressing pre-season this has been. I haven't even bought a season ticket and I...

Harries didn't look too impressive against Sturm Graz either. Comfortable in possession but got beat three times in the first half by their striker. Sounds like he needs to improve.

Those 'first teamers' included two 16-year-olds who started and their 17-year-old third choice goalie who I think played the full 90. Hardly their starting XI. We just looked like we lacked any invention. It takes time to get used to a formation but we just don't look a threat in a 3-5-2 or...

Their no.11 in the first half was Billy Daniels!
