With the Black Lives Matter issue being forward in everyone's minds the 2 tone kit takes on even more significance. The cultural heritage of our City's link to 2 tone is something to be proud of, and I would be disappointed if we do not continue with a 2 tone reserve kit into next season and beyond.

Two very poor teams. Unreal to think we were at that level only 2 years ago.

This Hamer story is feeling more and more like a hoax. I don't buy that he's somewhere in the UK, locked in a room for 14 days waiting to sign for us.

Agree on this. Our current team are streets ahead of Mowbray's team in that there are no obvious weak points. Mowbrays team were decent going forward but poor defensively. Goalkeeping was shared between Charles-Cook and Burge, while Ricketts and Stokes were the best of the defenders that played...

I am glad we got rid of Burge and bought in Marosi. We could not have played in the style we do with Burge in the team, and the defenders in front of him would not have been so confident. That said, I can't bring myself to hate him or hope his career dives like some do on here. He was part of...

Strachan, Hutchison and Wise were all internationals who had plied their trade at 'big' clubs, and were a whole different level from Pugh. I just don't see it happening, but to be fair if MR decided he was the right man for us then I'm not going to argue with him. I think we all need to take...

Hardly surprising though. I think most of us were surprised he didn't transfer to the Championship last season, and I still believe he could hold his own at that level. Alongside ourselves Sunderland had the best defensive record in the league, which was largely due to him. Despite that I don't...

Just doesn't fit into the transfer model the club have so I don't see it myself. Don't want to return to those days of signings aging pros like Michael Hughes and Colin Cameron, who tend to hold young players back, rather than improve them.

QUOTE="cc84cov, post: 2017719, member: 9904"]Don’t see us changing formation tbh unless Jobello can play in the advanced midfield position (the box) I don’t see where he features he didn’t really get going but I do think there is a player in there. That goes for Jodi Jones also although I feel...

Read it back - I mentioned that loss! You are right though, we had no chance that season. This was a low point under SISU's reign, where they effectively gave up on the football club, allowing Andy Thorn to preside over a team that lost the likes of Westwood, Turner, Gunnarsson and King in the...

Although we generally finished in the bottom half of the Championship, we did quite well in our 1st game every season. The only one we lost was in our relegation season. Before that we had 2001/02 Stockport (A) 2-0, 2002/03 Sheff Utd (H) 2-1, 2003/04 Walsall (H) 0-0, 2004/05 Sunderland (H) 2-0...

On the surface this seems a great signing (if it happens), but then again I remember a lot of people on here being equally excited by video clips of Kastaneer last Summer, and another from the Dutch leagues from way back, Ellery Cairo. While there has been no confirmation from MR or the club...

If he's on a one year deal we wouldn't get a penny for him at the end of the season.

I would have thought we will continue with the same recruitment policy in relation to permanent and loan signings, preferring younger (hungrier) promising players over more expensive experienced ones. In our 3 years since relegation MR has only brought in 2 over 30's in Doyle and McFadzean, who...

From what I understand its got everything to do with the financial sleight of hand in regards to the stadium. A Wednesday fan I work with thinks they are bang to rights but as pointed out they are not the only club to have done this. I knew Derby were also facing a potential points deduction...

You are right to a degree, Hyam and McFadzean aren't the quickest, but Drysdale seemed slower than them when he played. That might be simply because their extra experience means they read the game better defensively, which is something he can possibly develop and improve on of course. That said...

I largely agree with this. Even if Biamou and Mason are not starters, we need back up at the ready. I don't picture them playing often, but at some point they may have a part to play. Jones is difficult to predict. It could be that his injuries mean he never returns to what he was, or...

Drysdale has something about him, but his lack of pace is going to hold him back as a central defender. He can see a pass, and seems to break up play well, and I think he would be better being moved to a Liam Kelly type role, which would play more to his strengths, and negate his one obvious...

We are on the up, and have been for a few years, but that was from hitting an all time low. We are now getting back to where we were when Sisu took over. If we finish higher than 17th in the Championship next season, then on the pitch we will be in a better position than when they took over...

They average less than 6,000, but even given if they did have those crowds, its probably fair to assume that at least 2,000 are season ticket holders who have already paid their money, of whom I would have thought very few would be demanding a refund for a curtailed season. Not everyone of the...
