You might be right on O’hare, Simms and Kelly but the only way Fadz is coming on is if there are injuries to both Thomas & Kitching… Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Correct re the notice given. All pre-January TV games will be announced before the season starts and then the notice period gets shorter as the season progresses. The original announcement is below (note interesting point about greater parity between the clubs): “With the substantial increase...

That goal was well-taken, but one unchallenged header doesn’t make him good in the air. I don’t think I have seen him compete successfully for any aerial challenges all season, nor look interested in doing so. Whatever his strengths may or not be, there’s zero evidence that aerial ability/desire...

Indeed. There will be a maximum 7 Championship games at 3pm Saturday, the other 5 will be live on TV over the weekend. I would expect plenty of Saturday & Sunday lunchtime games and probably Saturday evening games, as well as the Friday night slots. It wouldn’t surprise me if they introduced...

The OP was complaining about the international breaks - that’s what I said happens every season. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

It sounds like you think this is unusual - it happens every season Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

I thought BNC yesterday was exactly the same as last season, i.e. ran around like a headless chicken, no positional sense, defensively shambolic but with the occasional spark going forward that made you think there might be some talent there. We sure as hell have upgraded in that area. Sent...

There will only be 5 televised games across leagues 1 & 2 combined, so likely 19 out of 24 will be Saturday 3pm. So much less impact. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Next year we’ll be lucky if 10 out of 23 home games are on Saturday 3pm. But if people want to cling onto that as being the only time for football then I assume they would have been happy for us to stay in League 1 or 2? That’s the only way it’s going to happen and no amount of complaining is...

Only one of the remaining 5 this year has been changed for TV, the rest are normal evening fixtures that we would have every season. Next season with the new TV deal will obviously be a different matter (but the main issue likely to be Saturday games being rearranged over the long weekend rather...

I’m not missing the point. His performances have been declining since the playoff final and he has been average/poor for most of this season, culminating at Preston. No disgrace in that, age catches up with every player eventually. He has been great for us but his time as automatic first choice...

Correct. If it was just a case of Fadz’s personal issues he would have kept the same formation and brought on one of the other CBs at half time. He wanted the formation change in order to alter the game, which it did. And he knows damn well that Fadz is not quick enough to play in a back 4 at...

He was hooked because he had been ripped apart in the first half and Robins wanted to change to a back four to chase the game. That worked and we looked much better, hence the inevitability of playing a back four against Stoke; once Robins decided on a back four it was blindingly obvious Fadz...

Robins was always going to drop Fadz after his disastrous performance at Preston when he took him off at half time, that was clear from the post match interview. Nothing to do with his personal circumstances, that was an unfortunate coincidence. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

And now back on planet earth - possibly one CM in and Moore out on loan/free. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

He’s not going to play the 2 left sided defenders in a back 4 when he’s bought Thomas & Lati. Thomas and Kitching will surely be first choice in a 4, as on Saturday. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Fadz in a back four [emoji23] Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Understood. He really doesn’t have a lot of options (other than putting feelers out) until the window opens in January, when presumably he will try to find a club but will still have the safety net of 6 months left on his contract if it doesn’t happen. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

What would you like Moore to do, donate it to charity? Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

We’ve just brought in 4 CBs, so not a cat in hells chance of bringing in another unless he ships Fadz out to the lower leagues in January. If he still sees Fadz as part of the squad for the new year, that will be it (unless any season-ending injuries, in which case a loan might be brought in, or...
