It was his unwillingness to defend the wide channels that was sending me loopy. Given they were doubling up on the wings, you needed him to go and engage one to free up Van Ewijk to press the other. He just stayed tucked in. Leeds really gave us the runaround in the first half, pulling everyone...

Think it’s fair to say at times their play can be unbelievable due to the speed and intricacy of a move. By and large, though, it’s passing for passing’s sake with no individuality. Look at Grealish at Man City. It’s killed him. No beating a player; if you don’t have an opening just pass to...

Those are the kind of situations that tariffs were actually designed for.

I’m not passing judgement or comment on the council tax announcement as, to be honest, I’ve no idea on the detail. The one thing I will say is that clearly economic and geopolitical conditions have changed, and it’s understandable some of Labour’s policies have to change as a result. In...

I know it doesn’t play out this way but 5th and 6th currently on track for 69 and 68 points respectively. 10 wins would get us 5th.

Dearth of quality this season. Leeds are good. Burnley and Sheff Utd efficient but neither impressive really. Sunderland are fun. After that it’s a free for all.

But how much of that is him being viewed as an integral player and therefore rushed back?

Stop calling footballers by their first name. They’re not your mates.

So it’s between us and Oxford to sign a CM we probably don’t need at the moment? Do the Forest. Sign him then loan him to Oxford for a fee. Problem solved.

A very rounded player really. Could have got another goal yesterday. It’s the aerial presence as much as anything for me.

Any idea what time the highlights are on? Ah, don’t worry about it, I’ll just pop the channel on now and wait.

Yep, top of last 5 form table. 3rd in last 10. 5th in last 20!

I don’t really subscribe to the whole ‘anti-DEI’ stuff but I tend to agree on the positive discrimination points. FWIW I’ve thought (and maybe this is just benevolent, non-racist me) that things like diversity ‘quotas’ would sort themselves out over time anyway as I think it’s largely dependent...

Should have gone for Kevin Brooks instead.

Gut feel is we’ll get Joe Worrall on loan next season now.

I’ve just seen the sending off this morning and came to this thread to post exactly the same. Appalling all round from the PGMOL cabal.

Ideally I’d be wanting us to be looking at players aged 22 or below to come in and compete for a place. Gives us a bit of succession planning. You almost need those that come good to still have a bit of development opportunity in them to command the higher prices when they turn 24-25. Easier...

Hearing reports that he’s just jumped for a header he will be competing for in the 12th minute of the game.

Yeah I’d probably agree with that. Simms I’d say is a bang average finisher (that’s not a bad indictment) whereas Cannon is slightly above average.

It’s not so much that penalties ‘don’t count’ but that it skews the goals figure if you’re comparing a penalty taker vs a non-penalty taker. Also theoretically Cannon may have been stood in the centre circle when each penalty was awarded so hasn’t done anything to contribute to the chance. I do...
