I hope you're right but being 3-0 up with 15 minutes to go last season was also a pretty good opportunity 😧

I think O'Hare's positive influence is such that he does deserve to be the highest earner at the club, but whether that's enough to keep him goodness knows. Knowing that his contract up at the end of the season, I can't see any offer in January higher than £1m. If that is the case in my opinion...

If any English teams want to sign up for this or any other version of it, then it should be made clear that in doing so they will also effectively resign their position in the PL. If the 6 'big' clubs want to do that it won't take long for a new pecking order to grow in English football without...

Lewis O'Brien and John Swift were the rumoured targets, although not sure either would have been an out and out replacement in terms of playing style.

Maybe a league lower but I can see why a move to Derby would be more attractive than one to say Huddersfield or Rotherham.

Disagree on Doyle. I actually thought he knew how far to push it and that the West Brom cup game you refer to was actually an exception. Other than that game I don't remember him ever being sent off for us, which was not too bad in well over 300 games.

Some people really bought into the homesick rumours, and effectively wanted us to give him away so he could have decent access to his child. I suspect a few may have taken that standpoint through previous experience themselves of being forced into being a long distance parent, given the passion...

Haven't been to Leeds for years, but always a good night out. No idea if its still there but loved the Stone Roses Bar, even though it seemed odd to me they would have such a bar in a town with such a well known rivalry with Manchester.

From what I have read there are more people backing him, than having a go at him. Like I pointed out though, I'm not really that interested in criticising him either, just trying to make the point that Eccles in the same position would have been treated mercilessly by many of the same people...

Wasn't it Sheaf who gave the ball away cheaply in the lead up to their goal? I suspect if it had been Eccles instead he would have been royally roasted. Incidentally I don't want Sheaf targetted either, just pointing this out. Against Leeds I would be starting both Sheaf and Eccles.

Be nice if they draw an English club next. If he plays well against an English club in Europe then it will help any sell on value.

He was excellent for us in that promotion year.

Don't tell Boosh!!

Looking at that freezeframe (and in hindsight obviously), the best option would have been to roll it along the ground and under the keeper. I do think keepers like to deploy the old Schmeichel star jump in such circumstances, and rolling the ball has as good a chance as any in that situation...

After the game Robins commented that we were a little open at times. Birmingham were awful and we took advantage, but Southampton are likely to provide a much tougher challenge, and I suspect MR would ideally like to bring Eccles back for that game. The only trouble is however that none of the...

Just occurred to me, but did the club ever officially say they were no longer pursuing the Warwick University stadium? I know it was always pie in the sky, but how short sighted would it have been to move to a capacity around 10,000 below the crowd we got last night? If I remember right though...

Given a lot of posters were underestimating what we would get for Gyokores (and Hamer) on the basis that they were only worth what another team was prepared to pay, come the end of the season I think you might find Gyokores is worth a lot more than you think!

Yes, its gone you are right, and of course it is probably wasted energy. Then again you could say that about nearly every post on this message board!

....... but that's ridiculous, and poor leadership. I bet none of them felt particularly confident, which is why they weren't in the first 5. Rather than 'whoever feels confident' MR should have taken it out of their hands and dictated the order for all penalty scenarios as soon as extra time...

Doug King undoubtedly has more than £2.50 to his name, but expecting him to put £5-7m of his own money in is truly fanciful, and nothing he, MR or anyone else has said indicates its a remote possibility. If he did look to provide extra funding, rather than from his own pocket it would...
