As for the wages, I'd like to see it become more like 'normal' jobs in large organisations with pay scales and grades, which would also add a great more stability to wage bills. So a first teamer gets a guaranteed set amount as a basic wage, U23 gets say half that, based around guaranteed...

I'm sure I've mentioned this before, but I don't think salary caps should be enforced, at least not at an individual level. I'm all for the overall wage cap linked to turnover as a means of protecting a club long term financially. I don't blame the young players for choosing the bigger club and...

Yeah, nobody has done anything to make MR think twice. They say you only get match fit with first team games - well it's no wonder if that's the level of non-urgency players put into reserve games (except Addai who was like RCC in his urgency to get the ball back into play and on at least two...

As for answers to our problems I think there are a few things we can try. No guarantee they'd work but mixing things up. First, switch Thomas to the other wing. He likes playing on his opposite side so he can cut in, but the guy can't score so lets see what he can do going down the outside and...

I find the notion that 'we're' unique in having fans that are ignorant/clueless and manager that can't change games/ strikers missing chances/ defenders that panic under pressure etc very odd. It's the same for every single team, from Real Madrid to Real Ale FC. Go on any forum and you'd find a...

It's ok. We're playing a team near the top who're winning 4-1 next. We know full well that's the type of game we end up winning

FFS Eakin his name isn't Chapman!!!!!!

So who will our next sub after 70mins be? I reckon Baka for JCH with MR looking to use him as a targetman then moaning afterwards he didn't do the job very well.

I quite like those type of shirts. Would look more like the sky too, then change the blue for grey for away.

Thompson for Sterling?!?!?!?!?!?

Thing is you look at the bench and who do you change? Kelly needs to go off by the sounds of it but Ogogo hasn't been great so far and bringing him into this might not help. ......HURRAH! Comeback is on!

I wouldn't be surprised if the BR fans started singing that ditty - they must be loving it.

Anyone want to start the thread for formation/tactics against Sunderland already?

Always said we're a fair weather team.

Bugger it. Thomas REALLY needs to get some composure - he can't hit a barn door from what we've seen of him but add the finishing to his game and he could be a hell of a player.

Bit surprised no Bayliss, even not on the bench. As has been suggested might be injured but in a way it might be a blessing giving him a bit of a rest. I think this match will heavily depend on how the pitch is with the weather - if it's just creating a slick surface it'll probably suit us but...

Isn't something at a premium quite rare? If 4-3 is at a premium I want to know what you think the score would be if there's a goalfest!

Think MR will go for an unchanged team from Oxford if possible. If Mason is fit I'd bring him in and move Chaplin into a front two with JCH. Drop one of Hiwula or Bakayoko from the bench for Allassani. It's another where all will depend on how we approach it. We look to press and we've got a...
