Never bring in a player on the back of a good World Cup/Euros. Sample size is far too small to be reliable.

Think the changes on the whole make sense myself. Rose and Walker have tended just to be playing one game a week throughout the season and their efforts in getting up and down the pitch each match will naturally make them more tired than most. Plus one of Slovakia's biggest threats is Vladimir...

Not a particularly pleasant atmosphere over here in certain parts. Bit of a ding-dong earlier on with English fans leaving the fan zone and having glass bottles launched at us. Couldn't tell you who did it, mind, as I was out of there straight away.

Off over there today, and meant to be going to Russia v Slovakia tomorrow. I'd still like to go but I'll probably make a judgement call depending on what the atmosphere's like in Lille when I get there later. On the Turkish thing, I take that with a pinch of salt. They wheel out photos of them...

Find it baffling how people moan about the old ticket system being inefficient and then moan when it's replaced by something much better.

I've had £20 on France to win it with Giroud being top scorer. 25/1 is a very tasty price.

Just got myself a ticket for England v Wales. Getting the Eurostar over to Lille next Tuesday, then heading to Paris on Friday and Eurostar home on Sunday.

Right back just been released by Wigan. 24 years old so no compensation due, played 38 games in total for Barnsley and Wigan last season. Surely he has to be someone we're looking at?

Not sure I can trust anything you say any more m8

I will have to source me a ticket then.

Well if I go I'll be staying in Lille, so I'll just get to the ground later.

But Willis isn't really a full back. In fact I'd quite like Willis as RCB in a 3-4-3 as he will know how to defend in wide areas.

We didn't play 3-5-2, and we won't. It'll be a 3-4-3 like it was at the back end of the season.

You have this astounding ability to relate every discussion back to Bigirimana. I'm somewhat impressed.

Get rid and sign Dan Burn.

Other players on free transfers: Jack Payne (Southend) Sam Mantom (Walsall) Yaser Kasim (Swindon) Not saying we could necessarily get any of these, but would it be wise to attempt for them with a non-promotion release clause in the contract?

He makes you nervous coming out for crosses? Get off it.

As I've said on the other thread, Dan Burn would be ideal. Young, tall, out of contract.

Dan Burn from Fulham? Certainly a dominant centre half. Out of contract and announced to be leaving.

Undecided on whether I'd want to keep him. As has been said; on the one hand, he can tear a team apart. Yet on the other, he doesn't have the consistency to hold down a position throughout 46 games (notwithstanding injuries and suspensions). He probably fits IF we had a suitable replacement for...
