I think he’s feeling sheepish now.

The SPL is a strange league and in some ways better than league 1. 4 games minimum (ie plus cups) against the 2 decent (almost EPL) teams, there are a couple of teams that could almost play EChamp the rest (IMHO) about L1 (I’m not talking upper L1 Peterborough etc., I’m talking lower L1)...

I think it’s an ill considered stance from the Tories. The Cov Labour Council, (Ann Lucas and her team), were (choosing words carefully) very helpful in getting Wasps into the City. Let’s say SISU eventually win their appeal, Cov Council May have write a big old cheque out. That’s taxpayer...

Correct. I got that wrong.

A certain Mr Doyle played in Holland directly before signing for us originally. Enough said.

Does anyone know if Dutch referees are somehow more lenient? Do they share the whole mentality of “hey anything goes” as Dutch citizens do? I only say this since Kastaneer (who joined from the Dutch leagues), Hamer (same), and Dabo (played Holland the year before) don’t (or in Dabo’s case...

But they will. It seems that other teams have learnt to set up that way against us. The way to overcome this is to have a physical / pacy player somewhere in our front 3. O hare, Allen, Godden are individually good but don’t provide the over the top option that would stop the opposition...

Marosi 6, couple of good saves, distribution mixed - doesn’t seem to spot the break runs and hence throw out early. Dabo 6, looks competent at this level and isn’t outmuscled as much as some of our other players. Has had better games but nonetheless solid. Ostigard 6, lower Champ level...

Like letting Zain Westbrooke go on a free rather than loan with option for recall was a short-sighted decision

He won the penalty by jumping over the tackle when their defender thought he was going to shoot. Bottled a shot or pass and win a penalty.

Sheaf has, on balance, had a poor start to the season. Caught in possession often, loses the ball too often, wrong passes and misplaced passes. Those things could be put down to settling into the team and settling into this level. The fact that he doesn’t track back and seem to put any effort...

“Onandi Lowe was an awful player”. Laugh all you like but the guy was an absolute beast of a player. Had a better than one goal in every two games ratio in League One ( better than Ivan Toney) was 6’4’, could play in defence and had a decent international career (27 goals in 65 - many games in...

Strikers who start playing professional football later in life tend to carry on playing longer at a higher level. (Ian Wright, Kevin Phillips come to mind). Players who play intensively at a younger age often burn out and start going downhill earlier (M Owen, W Rooney). Might be because their...

Given that Leamington are having a 5000 seater ground and complex built (with the support of Warwickshire Council) isn’t there some scope for SISU sitting around a table and investigating the angles there? (most of the players probably live in Leamington anyway) For a start, Cov could play...

As I’ve been banging on a few times: Getting planning on a green belt or old brownfield site is one set of hurdles. Expanding an existing venue leaves less opportunity for Council meddling (the Council has issues with SISU and worries that the appeal might bite them). Sure they’ll be issues...

Don’t know why we don’t just try to “merge” with Sphinx (or Pinley or Broadstreet) and develop their site or similar. Might be some planning objections from local houses but you never know.

It might just be the time for SISU to cash in their chips. It’s not implausible now that the net value of the assets (players and Ryton (less mortgage?)) and “golden share” in the Championship might be about equal to the value of their “real” investment (can’t recall, did OSB work this to be...

Didn’t we have someone called Carlito or have I made that up?

100% agree. Hate the Ricoh. Even more so now the Wasps have used it. It’s like going back to an ex. after she’s been elsewhere. Move on. Fresh start.
