I assume he hugs the touchline due to the formation you play? Seeing as we only play with wing backs having someone who does that would seem an odd choice. Unless MR has given up on CB and is changing shape to a back four?

Would seem a bit weird to have not thought about a place you've just bid £25m for.

I think it's riskier either just buying youngsters or just buying experience. You need to do a bit of both. If you jut sign experience you're not going to get transfer fees etc to reinvest and you're constantly just using other income to cover wages and when they need replacing every few year...

So you can bet we won't be testing out the replacement with some shots from the edge of the area if the opportunity arises...

But if you think an academy player has good prospects but won't be ready for a while yet then offer them something like a three year deal to progress and give them that time. If you're only willing to give a kid 1 or 2 years then you have to ask whether you really believe in them. And as I said...

It's densely populated and got tons of CCTV. Pretty decent chance you'll be found out. Plus it's a very rich place so a lot of the low level crime due to deprivation isn't happening.

I still think that players will develop more playing with and against a handful of seasoned pros in a reserve match than against the same players they've been playing against since academy ages. We already know what they can do against their own age groups. We need to know what they can and...

I think utilising the U21's to keep bench players sort of match fit is better than then just coming in cold from the bench. At the same time I wouldn't want most of the team being made up of first teamers needing minutes as it stops any progression for the younger players. As I've said I'd...

You've never apologised for these... https://www.skybluestalk.co.uk/threads/do-you-want-to-discuss-boring-politics.118522/page-346#post-2504872 https://www.skybluestalk.co.uk/threads/build-back-in-a-gender-neutral-more-feminine-way.133575/page-5#post-2295250

If this was a private individual or organisation they'd be considered a danger to the UK's interests.

I've now got images in my head of Paterson doing a Peter Odemwingie

I seem to remember it not being particularly popular, though I don't think he was 'hated' initially. People hoped he'd do well and if he'd come in to replace someone who was failing badly he'd have been given time but Black was popular and we were playing some nice attacking football that was...

Can I also say I had to think long and hard about whether to open this thread, as it wouldn't have surprised me in the least for it to have been literal.

So if someone does some fair play does it cancel out a yellow? Otherwise it's absolutely pointless (well, it's pointless even if it does)

I was wondering what the capacity might be but thought maybe the entire lower section of the stand might just about do it. Time for someone to do a dot counting mission!

They've been managing a while but age-wise are similar age to those. Eddie Howe - though has been well backed in relation to others in respective leagues. Graham Potter - but is having a hard time at Chelsea right now and how he deals with that will make or break him. I'd also add Sean Dyche...

No. I'll admit Lampard can talk a good game but that doesn't mean he's any good at actually managing players to get want he wants across. Rooney I think had a bit of a free pass with Derby given their situation, but I think overall he's pretty average. I also don't think Gerrard will be a top...

Just had a mad idea. People are saying that we want the loud fans behind the goal. Others are saying that the rowdy fans want to be near the away fans. Could we put away fans in smaller section of seats underneath the boxes? Our fans could then go behind the goal but still be relatively...

Chemical Bros *yes, I know the song's called Galvanise

Indeed. It's not about wanting them to fail, it's saying that just because you were a great player doesn't mean you'll be any good as a manger. Lots of top managers weren't top class players, and that arguably helps them because it means they have to understand the game better if they want to...
