    Match Thread Oxford United (H) [LC] 27 Aug 7:45pm KO

    Bass looks like a steal on that showing: pace, strength, and some intelligent runs. I think we need to give EMC a chance on the left ASAP; I’m hoping it’s just a confidence issue but, at the moment, he looks a million miles away from the League One player of the season 🤦🏻‍♂️

    Match Thread Oxford United (H) [LC] 27 Aug 7:45pm KO

    I think general consensus is that Lati isn’t effective at RWB or RB. I also think we have more cover in the midfield positions than at RB (regardless of the quality of the cover). Our full backs play high up the pitch, which obviously requires mobility; Eccles has shown he has that, even if he...

    Match Thread Bristol City (A) 24th August 12:30 KO

    EMC looks very heavy legged to me; isn’t (currently) showing the pace required in the Championship. Did well in the build up for the goal though.

    Why didn't the ref or lino do anything about this?

    I can only assume he was just trying to get the blood circulation going in his arms again: Simms’ totally legitimate challenge, when he outmuscled the defender, was another absolute shocker.

    Why didn't the ref or lino do anything about this?

    The linesman on that side was one of the worst officials I have ever seen. He was constantly behind play and almost never level with the last man, so missed multiple offsides. We were bang in-line with this incident - and the linesman was looking directly at it - absolutely useless officiating.

    Debunking the myth - ‘Doug isn’t getting the commercial things right’

    It’s hardly a myth: DK himself openly acknowledged that the commercial side of the business isn’t where it needs to be in his fan letter a few weeks back… “Given the speed of change at the Club and prioritising particular needs first, it is clear that other areas have been left behind and are...

    Match Thread Stoke away 10th August 12:30 - Opening day!

    I had tickets in the home end. It’s always interesting to hear the opposition fans’ views, in the moment. Highlights: - MVE: Our best player - Dovin: Doesn’t dominate his area. They were calling for more crosses to be put in. - Allen: not quick or strong enough. - Saka: good first touch. Not...

    Message from the King

    I’m pretty sure the JSB decision would have been taken by the Commercial team, as it fell within their delegation of authority… Doug took the blame, in the eyes of the fans, and was forced to step in to reverse the decision. I think the statement is an elegant way of saying that Doug will now...

    Summer transfer window 2024

    Equally, though, we need to agree ‘in principle’ fees / deals before other clubs know we’ve got it…it’s a little bit of a chicken/egg situation. Not easy.
