I disagree. Jones is someone that has the ability to offer something different. It would be criminal to deny ourselves that option for those occasions a game needs changing. Even if he comes off the bench only twice in the season & turns games in our favour, it could be the difference between...

Keogh and Baker were also signings from League 1 I think. Gunnarsson also fitted in with the young European based player with potential type we are also looking at, so a bit like Hamer.

Yes, Steve Whitton is the only one that really rose up during Sexton's tenure.

My Gran's Dad ran a chippy in Spon Street which was lucky to remain standing. Her sister appeared in this BBC documentary about it, from about 10 years ago talking about her experiences of that night.

Because of the way we play, any goalkeeper we have has to have the confidence and ability to play the ball out from the back like an outfield player. I don't think there are too many about that can do that to Marosi's level. There will be times when there is a fine line in overdoing it and...

Biamou is clearly 4th in line now and his chances barring injuries, are likely to be sub cameos at best. We need 4 forwards to fill out our squad and I get the impression MR is being fair to him given his service to us in telling him the reality, but giving him the option of staying as 4th...

Not the best of timing to post this now. We are all feeling quite positive about the season so this was bound to get a negative reaction. That said, hidden amongst the bad grammar and 'drunken' bluster, is a valid issue that is not going away until there is at least an application made for...

If Jobello had been fit he would have been more suited to the wing back roll than Kastaneer simply on fitness grounds. No way MR will start with either in that position though in reality.

If Dabo can't make it I'm pretty sure he will go with either Burroughs or Rowe, seeing as they are the ones that have played the position all pre season. Today would have been the perfect day to play Hamer there if MR was interested in doing so. The only other option might be if we bring in...

Mortimer didn't want to leave either. He was forced out because we still owed money on the Larry Lloyd transfer.

On your previous Gus Caesar point about us fans not realising how good you have to be to make it as a pro, I also remember from the 'Staying Up' book, which was maybe from Strachan again, commenting about Paul Telfer at the training ground, saying how when he kicked the ball it made a pinging...

In the book 'Staying Up' I remember that John Salako was similarly mentioned I think by Strachan saying how his confidence was easily eroded by comments he could hear from the sidelines. Being a winger meant he was going to hear those barbs more clearly. I suspect the same had happened earlier...

You can't recall mid season anymore. We would have to wait until January. Only 3 forwards would be a high risk strategy, particularly when there is no kid anywhere near able to step up. A few injuries and its goodbye to the season. By comparison Barnsley who only just stayed up, started last...

Kelly & McFadzean deserve the right to start next season, just as Doyle had done when we moved up to League 1. The Championship is high intensity though whereby injuries are inevitable, and the older players in the team particularly, will need to be rested on occasions. If Sheaf joins us his...

You are making the simple assumption that we will never deviate from playing one up front. One of the lessons I'm sure MR took from last season was the need to play differently when the need arises. Besides which, unlike other areas of the team up front is the one area academy cover is not...

The ticket receipt refers to' unlimited views' for £5 so I presume that means you can watch it back later.

Unlike some, I don't see us releasing Biamou & Bakayoko. Not yet anyway. We need at least 4 forwards in the squad (and that might not be enough over a whole season) to cover injuries, and the odd game where we get desperate and need to throw the big lads on.

Yes, Hutch wasn't the greatest goalscorer, but when he did score they were often special. Remember him scoring a cracking 30 yarder against Man U. Not read it myself, but I believe in Nick Hornby's fever pitch book he talks about Hutch's goal at Highbury where he basically dribbled past every...

I think the OP was suffering from a case of premature postulation
