    Transfer Rumour Outgoings?

    How would a signing today help v Burnley? A player has to be registered with the FA by 12 noon the day before a match to play. Also players have stuff to sort out and no chance of training with squad. No way would they play even if registered. Our whole season doesnt hinge on away at...

    Transfer Rumour Jamie Patterson

    He is signing with Walsh and Carl Baker. Reda slotting in at CB.

    Waghorn to hudds

    No it isnt. Players of a certain age can have an injury and a lay off and they just lose that yard of pace. For example Kelly. Happens all the time. It wasn't like he contributed nothing. It is why I have been concerned we havent got a McFadz understudy in already before this season. He is...

    Attack & Defence Effectiveness

    Our results are better when we play one upfront. We concede far less with the extra man in midfield. The trade off is we dont score shed loads of goals. However if you dont concede you dont lose.... its a good starting point.

    Massive clear out needed.

    Hopefully they are. Only way we will get rid of them 😂

    Transfer Rumour Outgoings?

    And Kane had a knee op end of summer and has been coming back from injury. Which at least clouds the issue when people arguing over minutes played?

    Josh Eccles New Contract

    Not a fan of 4 year contracts. It is a long time in football. Prefer 2 years with a one year option. This is nothing to do with Josh. Glad we have offered him a contract and he has signed.

    Transfer Rumour Josh Wilson-Esbrand

    I liked the pubs and the people. Most the pubs probably will have gone now. It was handy for Oldham Athletic. I am going back about 35 years.

    Transfer Rumour Josh Wilson-Esbrand

    I prefered living in Sheffield to Manchester. Didsbury was great, Droylesdon grim, Stalybridge too far out, Chadderton was great too. The area you live in really dictates your impression of Manchester. But it has a lot going for it. I certainly do not regret my time there.

    Transfer Shouts

    I think his op got in the way. Now had some game time so more or less match fit now.

    Transfer Rumour Josh Wilson-Esbrand

    My wife lived in Didsbury for 12 months. My time there it was Droylesdon, Stalybridge and Chadderton.

    Transfer Rumour Outgoings?

    You would imagine that it would be hard to replace some of those with worse? The first three didnt get anywhere near establishing themselves in the first team..

    David Duckham

    A legendary sportsman and a very nice man. One of my boyhood heroes.

    Transfer Shouts

    Ideally two. But it doesnt even come to that sometimes. Its about competing in the air, making it as difficult as possible for the opponent. That is our biggest weakness. Blackpool and Wrexham too many guilty of just standing and watching. Letting the opposition play head tennis in our...

    Transfer Shouts

    He would be my choice. Looked a good footballer. Read game well has good pace, not always trying to look pretty just does what has to be done. Which is what defending is about. Right age at 26 and has a fair few games under his belt. 2 years into a 4 year contract at WBA I believe.

    Gyokeres to Everton- Two in exchange?

    Some will still think SISU are sat in the corner on their 15% holding the clubs box of matches.

    Gyokeres to Everton- Two in exchange?

    He is of course a young player learning and not the finished article. Said all season not good enough to play in Premier League yet (and I really am a fan from before he joined us).

    Video 'Nobody knows you here, but I do!' | Callum Doyle interviews new signing Josh Wilson-Esbrand

    Doyle had a dodgy debut in the League Cup. Had one game when pulled early by Robins who felt he was trying to play with an injury undeclared. He is what 19? Played left side, right side and center of the central 3. He has impressed me. Way ahead of Panzo defensively and not far behind...

    Doug King Takeover

    Jimmy Hill, Richardson, McGinty, Ransom, SISU, Fisher, Sepalla, King, Storey, Ashley - makes no difference.... all cut from the same clloth. Their own ego was or would be put before the club when running it. Nothing has changed in my book.

    That might be true. But in the last couple of years Waghorne has earnt his wages more. Fisher has just walked his dog around Warwickshire looking for land?. He has been on gardening leave for ages.
