    The Orange Ball

    Shaw came mid season, after we failed to sign Coleman first. Don't ever reall us being linked with Southgate. The Bowyer interest was in the Summer break when we signed McAllister. Am positive we tried to sign Richard Rufus at the same time.

    Lee Bowyer and Richard Rufus from Charlton?

    The Orange Ball

    Was definitely a good day for us. Those highlights make Ally Pickering look like a top player!

    The Manchester Pub - Blackpool

    I was a bit worried that the tribute to him would be at our match there, but I see they play QPR first, so we won't now be painted as the bad guys if some of our fans ended disrespecting whatever kind of tribute they have in mind.

    Gyok or Wilson

    I guess it would give Clive another 'as it stands' table to cream his pants about.

    Ben Wilson' race for the golden glove?!

    With 11 games to play, the law of averages probably means he will make at least one error leading to a goal between now and the end of the season. We need to keep his performances this season in mind to give that some perspective when he does and hope that any mistakes are not crucial ones, as...

    Fifteen Years

    I was another from GMK. Under Nev & Smiler I thought GMK was excellent, but it fell apart under Knowl when it became very cliquey.

    Gyokeres

    Don't disagree with that, and maybe I was getting carried away with that run in the first half. Regis was very quick over 10 yards and could initially burst past players, or as I said before defenders would kind of bounce off him as he was so strong. Gyokeres has those same physical attributes...

    Gyokeres

    You not think that run he made in the 1st half with 4 of their players struggling to match his physicality and pace did not have a touch of Regis about it?

    Gyokeres

    For me the player Gyokeres has most similarities to from our past in terms of style of play is Cyrille Regis. Both have fantastic control where the ball can be fired at them, but that they manage to still somehow control it and turn. Gyokeres also has that Regis like balance and speed when...

    Transfer Shouts

    I suspect if Notts & Wrexham were in League 2 they would be leading that league also. The current Notts team re certainly a better footballing team than the one Nolan had when we met them in the play offs. Langstaff is absolutly on fire.

    Championship 22-23

    QPR is where he had the most successful spell of his playing career so there is bound to be an emotional tug to him returning to manage there. He is also near the upper limit of how far he can realistically take Wycombe, so I can see the QPR job being very attractive to him.

    Home v Sunderland 12.30, Sky, £33 a ticket

    Not sure how our sales look compared to normal but hopefully 2 wins on the bounce will tempt our supporters to provide a good turnout next weekend. Certainly 20,000 plus I would hope.

    Match Thread ⚽️ Rotherham United vs Coventry City Match Thread - Saturday 18th Feb

    I'm pretty sure it was for a pre planned block on Bidwell who had been marking Hugill, and which then allowed him a free run to the back post unmarked. Stroud was positioned right in front of it so got a perfect view. That said refs don't normally spot those or view the tussling as both ways and...

    Transfer with Vik

    It depends how well we use that money. We will severely disadvantaged by losing Gyokeres and simply having a bit more money to buy a replacement doesn't guarantee a successful replacement and a better team, even though it will give us more leeway to strengthen other areas of the team. The last...

    Transfer with Vik

    I don't buy into the Burnley first refusal scenario. Seems to me its 2+2=5 type guesswork. In that scenario what happens if at the end of the season Everton offer £20m and Burnley only want to pay £10m? What happens if Gyokeres wants to go a club other than Burnley?

    Next Four Games

    You could put this same kind of post up at any point in the season. The Championship is notoriously unpredictable with teams constantly drifting in and out of form, often against most people's predictions. Its a cliche but it really is best to take each game at a time and see where you're at...

    Their player that really impressed me was their left wing back, Bramall. Not sure how he's progressed since that game but he looked a class above that night.
