100% this. DOGSO (Denying Of Goal Scoring Opportunity) is the law you refer to. There was one in the PL a few years back (escapes me now which club/player was involved) where it was the most blatant, cynical trip ever on the halfway line - ball barely even in the picture but there was covering...

I don't imagine there's many that do actually have that notion G. I just think we should be appreciating a manager that can work in the constraints that the model imposes but has also managed to negotiate a position where he has as much control as he does over the recruitment side etc. rather...

Our average age was 2nd youngest in the league at 25.3 (majority are around 27) but I'm comfortable with that.

Actually quite heartened by this. Good news that we can compete wages wise but really surprised if we genuinely did pursue him that hard. Definitely could do with a player of his ilk but would much prefer one on the way up rather than on the way down.

I agree but you've picked out the middle of a sentence which kinda removes my context tbf. I was trying to say that it's harsh that we're so strict on goalkeeper movement if the taker is allowed all the histrionics in the run up. Used to be a rule about the taker wasn't allowed to make a...

I've gone slightly against the consensus in just saying younger but tbh, I'm assuming we sign James with that - think that already gives us enough 'older' heads

Can't disagree with any of that but can't see anyone falling over themselves to buy a club in our situation either.

Oh dear...

In the last 2 seasons they have spent 93% of the time in the Top 4... Finished 5th both times 😭

🤣

That should be the slogan, love it!

£250k every home game???

2 incredible capitulations in successive seasons. They were 7pts clear with 9 games to play. Perhaps not quite as bad as throwing a 14pt lead last season but still.... And to think people call Spurs bottlers.

Wow

Wonderful advert for L2 football. Yes, the quality & technical ability is miles off PL but it's much more real, dramatic & exciting than anything the PL can offer.

I've mentioned him before but really like the look of Nicky Cadden at LWB for FGR.

“League One to the Championship is a huge jump. I would say Mark Robins is manager of the year because he’s at one of the clubs that came up and he’s kept them up, but just imagine how good they could have been if they'd sacked him & appointed Kenny Jackett instead"

Had a great season, think he's just won their POTY? Wouldn't be at all surprised to see him get a Championship move but not sure if he's a great fit for us. Sound defensively but not convinced about him on the ball & would prefer a left footer as well tbh.

Not sure there's much truth to the "dodgy at this level" rhetoric imo. It may not have always been perfect but I think Robins has always done a decent job in the Championship considering what he inherited. Barnsley were rock bottom & looked miles off the pace when he took over but he kept them...

Scandalous that was. It's one thing I really hate about US Sports, how they have little respect for traditions with the franchise model & they just up & leave communities willy nilly.
