    Retained List

    I've no problem with those from the academy stepping up into a reserve team to develop but haven't seen the point in signing all these youngsters from other teams to play in the U21's that we clearly don't think are good enough. I know they might argue they're a cheap option and maybe one will...

    Also would be a great deterrent to the birds when we have to reseed the pitch.

    Tavares to Burton Completed

    Good luck to him. With a strike partner allowing him chances in the box he could score a number of goals at that level - he's a good finisher.

    Lampard Axed! (Christine)

    That would explain her long career.

    Leicester At It Yet Again!

    If the PL think they've broken the rules can they not refuse to pay Leicester their parachute payment? Would be challenged in court but given how long that could take not having those payments (especially when they've allegedly already 'spent' them) could cause them far more problems than a...

    You were very unlucky but don’t be too downbeat

    I think defensive styles have OCCASIONALLY won over other styles is far more accurate. They're a bit of an outlier rather than the norm. Think of the best teams in history, domestic and international, and almost all of them will play attacking football in some description. Fair play, I said...

    Thomas & Kitching

    Happy for them both to continue in the Championship. Would look to sell both Lati and Binks to bring in an experienced CB who will push them both. Fourth CB look for a decent free or a youngster to develop.

    Our choice of captain

    I shall add nothing to the thread by also going with Kitching or Grimes.

    Wright and Simms

    Doubt he. He never lifts his head up to see what around him.

    Wrights chance

    For a 6'4'' supposed centre forward he is absolute shit at heading.

    Evening form

    You could argue that Rudoni gets the chance for the header because the striker is occupying defenders. I do think for their size though Simms and Wright are poor at headers. Wright rarely seems to have the heart for it while Simms can't time a jump to save his life (or is doing so deliberately...

    It was about three weeks ago, when we lost to two teams in the relegation zone in consecutive games.

    So I've decided on a starting XI that would allow us the flexibility to either play our usual game if they try to have a go, or play two up top and a 10 if they sit back. I'd start our normal formation or 4-3-3 and if they do sit in we could change it to a sort of 3-4-1-2. Wilson MvE Thomas...

    We need to not use it every time we get a throw in around their box. It becomes too predicatable. Throw a couple short and then either cross it in or run towards the box. Give them something to think about.

    Actually thinking about it, it has to be nicked. A song about a Samba rhythm is going to be used for a Brazilian isn't it. We're not even thinking about it anymore.

    Transfer Rumour 25/26 Summer Transfer Window

    Good point. Starting a family could change someone's outlook. Though I suppose if you were going to do it you'd do so when the child was very young to minimise disruption to the development. But having to move on top of getting used to the massive changes in your life probably isn't a hassle you...

    Wouldn't surprise me. There's been a distinct lack of uniqueness about many of our songs for a while. Just find one that a big team sings and rehash the words.
