    Transfer Rumour January transfer window

    Good grief no! When was the last time he actually played a football match?

    Sean dyche sacked.

    Sacking him hours before an FA Cup game stinks of lack of respect for the man and the competition.

    Rob Èdwards gone at Luton

    Really odd how he has worked well at Luton twice and been a poor fit everywhere else. Are we expecting him to leave Charlton to return there now? Godden to take over as interim manager?

    Match Thread Coventry v St Mirren - 2nd leg Anglo Scottish Cup

    Sunny weekend in Paisley? In July? You want the moon on a stick don’t you?

    Transfer Rumour January transfer window

    Apart from a sleepy first 10 minutes ( including him literally turning his back on play as the ball was played to him by Allen), he did well. At times last season I thought he was the one destined for higher things, at times it was Thomas. This season Kitchin was dropped after a poor end to the...

    Match Thread Coventry v St Mirren - 2nd leg Anglo Scottish Cup

    The home leg was pretty poor; gate barely above 5k. Was the first time I watched David Smith start for us. Could have sworn that their equaliser was scored by their most famous player, Frank McGarvey, who had returned to Scotland after a big money move to Liverpool went badly wrong.

    Transfer Rumour January transfer window

    McAnthony said that he has promised Ferguson not to sell any of the players and undermine the play off push. Thus the only way a deal could be done was through a loan back. At the time I would have much rather had the player but as it turns out, and given that EMC’s best position seems to be...

    Transfer Rumour January transfer window

    There are many reasons why this won’t happen but for one; Signings announced before the match just don’t happen anymore. I think our last one was Chris Burchill and that was because we had kept it quiet for 24 hours and registered him in time to play.

    Transfer Rumour Kwame Poku

    We would sign an injured player and then loan him back while he’s injured?

    Transfer Rumour January transfer window

    Signing Latibeaudiere, Bidwell and Gyökeres did not help us beat the Swansea hoodoo. BTA didn’t change our fortunes over West Brom And the only player I remember us getting from Preston in recent years was Seani Maguire.

    Transfer Rumour January transfer window

    Found the pre-match Warnock quote “I think he’s (Gyökeres) the best in the league. I tried to sign him a couple of times for Cardiff. No disrespect to Mark (Robins), but I doubt he’ll be there next season. But we’ve got one of the best centre-halves in Michal Helik, and Tom (Lees) is a big...

    Transfer Rumour January transfer window

    I know the Helik rumour seems to be bilge but it wouldn’t be the worst idea. He always looks pretty solid to me. On the downside I remember going to Huddersfield in the play-off season and Warnock saying something like “Gyökeres is supposed to be the best striker in the division, well we have...

    West Brom at home last season

    Not sure. Did you see the incident after that though where the same player found himself in a great position to score a third, or pass it to two well-positioned colleagues and waste fully blazed it over the bar?

    Transfer Rumour Joe Gelhardt

    Obvs will give him a chance if he does end up here but he’s been very underwhelming at Leeds and during a loan to Sunderland. Looked poor when playing against us for both of them.

    Bassette myth

    I think the point about why Bassette and BTA played at Norwich may be true. However I would question the utility of work rate when Bassette failed to stay onside on so many occasions on Saturday - there were a number of times that play carried on despite a raised Lino flag (which I thought...

    Signing next 48hrs

    Are we sure the airports will be open tomorrow? Snowmageddon the latest threat to our signing policy.

    Asante

    If Robins had selected today’s starting XI, I would have assumed he was trying to send a message to the owner that we needed reinforcements in the transfer window. As it turned out, Allen drove the midfield quite well and Kitchin recovered after a dreadful first 10-15 minutes. Norwich aren’t...
