I get that Reid was not going to be rushed in last season when we still had McCallum, regardless of the injury setbacks he suffered, but given he was a regular in the SPL, and therefore playing at a higher level than Rose was when he joined, I would have expected him to be pushing for a first...

In regard to loans, and keeping in mind it is still over 3 weeks until the season kick offs I just checked out when our loans from last season arrived at the club which should give us a guide to what we might expect in the next few weeks. Giles had already arrived by this time last pre season...

Doubt it given he was reportedly at Ryton, but maybe there wasn't time to sort him out a visa to travel to Spain.

That applies to the better loans that will be available, who are closer to being part of PL squads. If McCallum does go to QPR on loan it will be because Norwich have already decided he isn't close to making their PL squad. I'm guessing its pretty much Norwich's decision to send him to QPR so...

Don't think Grealish volunteering would have made the slightest difference. Always felt that Southgate was reluctantly playing Grealish as it was, and ultimately he didn't trust him. In hindsight it appears Southgate made the mistake of judging his best penalty takers from training, where the...

The ongoing delay could also be related to international clearance. Got a vague recollection that when Baker came back training with us when we were in league 2 from his stint in India that there were complications over his release and registration too, so it could just be down to a bureaucratic...

None of us know how good Reid is or might be, as he was injured as soon as he arrived here. He was clearly highy rated in Scotland so It might be that MR wants to have a proper look at him in our friendly games to see what level a new left back needs to be, either first team definite, first team...

If it is a done deal as many seem to think, maybe its not been announced because he's one of the people affected by the covid outbreak.

Cov every time. Obviously want England to win, but I am not as emotionally invested watching England, and it wouldn't have the same long term impact. After one enjoyable night it would be back to dull friendlies & qualifying matches at Wembley, whereas for Cov it could transform the club (if...

Perhaps they saw his youtube clips! It's always enough for a number of our fans.

I've got a feeling that MR will be looking to loans to strengthen defensively. If so, the better loan players from PL clubs are unlikely to become available until after the start of the season once the PL clubs have settled on their squads, so we might have to be patient for a while yet...

Get yourself sorted with a VPN and get an overseas i follow season ticket. That way if you are not able to get to games you are still contributing to the club coffers, and get to see the games.

Crooks is pretty limited at Championship level, but very effective in League 1. Unless we were going to change to a more physical long ball game I wouldn't want him to come to us.

Yes agreed, you definitely can't argue that they are poorly supported, just that their away support doesn't match up to the level of their home support (not when they've come to Cov anyway).

I also thought the argument was about away support

If allowed I would expect Forest to bring about 3,000. If it had been a non TV game I would have expected up to 4,500 with it being the first game of the season, but definitely not 6,000.

Ta If I was in your shoes I would consider just going to the casino for half an hour after the match to let the traffic die down, so you don't have to leave early or sit in traffic. You don't need to gamble, just find a comfy chair and check out all the other football scores over a beer or a...

They will all be competitive initially and get the odd good result here & there, but over a whole season I would expect all 3 will be in the bottom 6, with at least 2 of them being relegated.

When the move to Sunday was announced plenty on here came on to say they couldn't now go. Small sample I know, but presuming that people who come on here are the more invested fans of the club, if that is replicated amongst our wider support I suspect 20,000 would be a good crowd. Also got to...

Waghorn's career record is much more impressive!
