    Dovin

    Having re looked at the goal. There are a couple of things that need to be considered. Dovin had a restricted view as lati was blocking his line of sight. Also, he was moving across his goal following the cross ball. The body shape of the qpr player was for a shot into the far corner. He...

    Match Thread Preston vs. Coventry City - Match Thread - Sat 19th Oct

    If we manage to get a result at PNE, I might need to lie down in a dark room until I realise it wasn't a dream. I've always found their ground to be incredibly depressing! My team for Saturday, taking into account international games [BTA selected, as he's only sat on the bench for Ghana's...

    Match Thread Coventry City - Blackburn Rovers Match Thread - Tuesday 1st Oct

    I'm pretty pessimistic about tomorrow night given the contrasting fortunes of both teams. I really hope we play well with a high energy display. I'm slightly concerned that if Kitching plays he'll get sent off. I'd take a scrappy 1-0 win now or even a draw.

    Viveash gone

    Given the minimal communications from the club on AV leaving his post, it points to there being the potential for an employment tribunal. Both sides will be very careful in any statements, so to ensure they do not prejudice any legal process. I expect the clubs insurance policy will cover the...

    Robins and King

    Possibly cash flow. They're in the process of establishing their new headquarters, etc, which would take priority over owning a football club

    Poll: Should Robins Stay Or Should He Go Now?

    We have a young squad in comparison to most in this league & we’ve regularly seen teams good at the “dark arts” beat us. That’s when you need a strong aggressive leader to counter act the bullies. We’ve been too nice.

    Poll: Should Robins Stay Or Should He Go Now?

    The major thing that I feel this team is lacking is leadership on and off the pitch. Doyle, Kelly & Fadz led by example and set a work ethic and positive culture. All successful teams have strong characters leading them…. Roy Keane, Patrick Viera, etc. Who’s ours???

    Transfer Rumour Raphael Borges Rodriguez signs for Coventry

    I can’t understand why he’s not on the bench then, for one of MR’s cameo substitutions in the 90+5 minutes 😉

    Sheffield Utd

    We might need to send the bailiffs for repossession of Hamer, due to outstanding payments?

    They've Got Off Spot-Free AGAIN

    That maybe true, but now the legal arguments have concluded that the FFP breaches were under the EFL you must be praying that you don't get relegated. As starting with a large points deficit next season could ensure more than 1 year in the championship with the implications for your finances...

    They've Got Off Spot-Free AGAIN

    The financial gap between the "slippery six", who were potential super league members and the rest of the PL is getting wider. Added to which to financial gap to the Championship is a massive difference. The problem for the PL is that any adjustments of the FFP rules will be met by a response...

    They've Got Off Spot-Free AGAIN

    The issues surrounding FFP and PL parachute payments needs reviewing urgently. If you’re a free marketer then the scrapping of any restrictions on spending makes sense. If you want to provide equality of opportunity, then you’ll favour restrictions on spending to exist . The current situation...

    They've Got Off Spot-Free AGAIN

    If I’ve understood the reasoning behind this judgement to be that Leicester financial year end being 2 days after they were PL members. Therefore, the overspending comes under the EFL rules. Along with their overspending in 23-24 season. If Leicester get relegated this season, surely the EFL...

    Muddled thinking

    My concern with yesterday was how predictable we are. We are slow moving the ball forward, allowing teams to get all their players back and reduce any space centrally. When the attack breaks down we are left with both fullbacks high up the pitch giving teams lots of space in the channels or...

    The system is rigged in favour of the PL clubs now, so don't expect much money coming our way

    Viktor Moving on

    I read that Charlie Patino is also leaving Arsenal. Is there a glimmer of a hope that they'll make a late bid for Vik?

    I'm guessing at the focus being on Oxford, so a line up of: Wilson Burroughs Lati Kitching DaSilva Allen Howley Tavares Palmer Mason-Clark BTA Opps - didn't notice Saddles post! So obviously, I'm totally wrong!

    Transfer Rumour Milan Van Ewjik

    MVE has 3 year left on his contract and he's worth far more than £8.6m. This looks like a journalist story to fill a gap in their daily quota for publishing.
