    Jamie Allen

    If it were not for Mason Shippers would be most improved player this season. I suspect it's a number of factors - the slight change in formation making better use of his talents; being able to step out of the shadow of Bayliss; the extremely competitive midfield options or just generally him...

    Judgement Day

    Granted, and I expect our possession play has something to do with that. But we have also only conceded one goal less. Now that could be a positive, in that the opposition are having to carve out much more clear cut opportunities or it could be a negative because we're conceding a similar amount...

    We are two wide from winning this league

    I think it's more you'd expect on at least one occasion for the stars to align and for them to bag a hatful in a game because everything they touch goes in. Personally I'd prefer the goals more spread out as it's likely to give you more points but I'd happily take giving someone an absolute...

    What censure/rebuke have they given to Walker?

    Robins to Stoke?

    Wales qualified for a major tournament because they had Bale scoring in most of their matches. Without him I'm confident in saying they wouldn't have done.

    Robins to Stoke?

    It is a fear he will be being noticed and sounded out. Given how it turned out last time he left and he seems to do well here I think he'll be more reluctant to leave this time, but a huge increase in wages can sway almost anyone. I don't know how long his contract is for but of everyone at he...

    Robins to Stoke?

    Fulham enhanced Coleman's reputation because he had huge funding. Gareth Bale enhanced Coleman's reputation by often being a class above everyone else on the pitch and having a moment of magic to gloss over Coleman's ultra-negative tactics. We didn't enhance nor harm his reputation because...

    Judgement Day

    I think that highlights that despite what many believed were defensive frailties costing us last year that it was in fact goalscoring. Defensive stats are remarkably similar but attacking has improved (yet we're still a bit wasteful with chances.

    The EU: In, out, shake it all about....

    It's a semantic discussion of what 'tied in' means. Other countries with EU trade deals have to have certain quality standards that comply with EU regulations. Other countries like Switzerland and Norway make payments to access the EU market. Although they are not technically bound by them in...

    World Athletics and 2022 world cup

    I think the fact is was Women's is probably a big factor. Hugely conservative nation for who many probably don't think women should even be competing due to religious beliefs, let alone having them walk around in all that sportswear. WC I think will be a bit better attended but many games will...

    We are two wide from winning this league

    Yep. We largely seem to think we've got issue with our wide front players but haven't got many other options to replace them. Midfield we've got plenty of options with more set to return so you can look at moving people around. Of those midfielders O'Hare would seem to have the most transferable...

    Who's Kelly May? Didn't realise it'd become a mixed-gender league. Sounds like she might be a 'keeper cos she looked good around poles.

    The EU: In, out, shake it all about....

    Alexander wanted May's deal to go through so much he voted against it and resigned from the Cabinet. Personally I think this was again him trying to destabilise a leader to force a leadership contest (same reason why he chose Leave - nothing to do with his actual beliefs on the subject) I...

    Match Thread Rotherham United vs. Coventry City Match Thread - Saturday 5th Oct

    I'm assuming none of those injured will be fit to return. I'd bring in Kasta for Jobello for this, but I'd also be keeping a close eye on how Hiwula gets on and if he's not on his game I'd consider bringing Werstbrooke on and moving O'Hare into his position. I'm also toying with the idea of...

    Lost 7-0 at home to Palace yesterday with a reasonably strong team including Ngandu and Bapaga.

    Do you think you'll ever write a reply that doesn't deflect or obfuscate ?

    So Godden has 3 and Hiwula 2. Both of those have spent more time on the pitch in league games than Baka has. So what?

    The EU: In, out, shake it all about....

    I'm not saying there won't be a backlash, I'm saying any backlash will not have as far reaching effects. There is a reasonably high probability that people will die due to problems as a direct result of Brexit. I would expect some rioting and damage to property/looting but I don't expect any...

    So what's wrong with that? I thought Kristy Wright and Melissa George were attractive.

    I think we will see the WA being put back before the house prior to 31 Oct (barring VNC etc) and it will be interesting to see how all parties would react to that if the only other alternative is no deal. Some will reject it because they want no deal. I think the threat of the no deal has been...
