Franck Moussa was Belgian.

In Japan and only 2 seasons in Belgium. 0 goals and in a relegated team from the Belgian league, which people had been calling a farmer’s league in reply to signing Bassette. Besides, the player hasn’t been signed to start like, Langstaff for Millwall (arguments sake). He’s got Simms and BTA...

Pretty sure if we revisit the Sakamoto thread from last season, there was a lack of enthusiasm in some quarters. Personally, I didn’t know who he was and if he was any good and the same applies here. Like most of our signings, they seem ‘too steep’ before they hit a good run of form and people...

Who himself was an obscure signing from the Swedish 2nd division…

I just can’t see us not signing a CM and could see us potentially waiting out for a CB until Jan. With Sheaf to come back a signing should shore up that area and give the players we’ve got a chance. We appear to be specifically after an experienced CB so cannot see us signing a random young...

It’s also a 50 game season so there will be a need to rotate and give players a break. I’ll admit I was surprised at this signing because after CB or CM, I’d be looking at a RB or even LB. Everything I’ve seen on him (granted, I know nothing about him) indicates he’s a centre forward only.

Depth chart of first team players as things stand: GK: Dovin, Collins, Wilson RB: MVE, Lati CB1: Thomas, CB2: Binks, Kitching LB: Bidwell, JDS CM1: Sheaf, Torp CM2: Eccles, Allen AM: Rudoni, Palmer RW: Sakamoto, Rapha, Tavares LW: EMC, Wright ST: Simms, BTA, Bassette Definitely hoping...

I’m assuming we’re going for more than 1 player, these deals take time to come to fruition. Currently listening to Neil Warnock’s audiobook on Spotify and it’s interesting as well as being revealing!

There was an Ipswich fan calling for STs to be abolished so everyone can go to 4-5 games a season… I wonder what games those are?! 🤔 If you get to 1100 points, you’re more or less guaranteed access to whatever game you want. That’s where I’m at despite not doing many games in the 22/23 season...

Jack Burroughs has been loaned out to Kilmarnock. Hopefully, we’re making progress on bringing in a CB (Worrall) or RB at least. Good luck to him!

Exactly and other clubs weight their loyalty points according to demand. I work with a few Chelsea members and Tottenham at home bags you 1 loyalty point/caps because it’s a game everyone wants to go to. Our points systems is good and suits our purposes for now. As our tickets get more and more...

100% - ask Swansea fans what Gyokeres was like for them and they’d have told you that you’re barmy if you believed he’d be a top Championship striker, let alone a top European one. The Championship is a tough league.

I agree because it seems strange that in-demand games get 20 points. For example, WBA away is 20 points, the same as Blackburn Rovers away - both midweek. At some point, I expect that they’ll start to weight loyalty points based on categories. Midweek cup games at home like this should be given...

For sure, Torp, Bidwell and Binks all could’ve done their jobs better. Binks goes for the ball and misses it whilst running past their goal scorer, who also does a shimmy . I’ve rewatched the goal again during the stoppage in the Spurs match. Binks doesn’t have Harris and it’s Bidwell who’s...

I think the opposite, they’re all inexperienced so having someone with proven leadership skills around them should help them develop. It doesn’t necessarily mean Thomas would get dropped because right footers can still play LCB. I’m a big fan of Thomas, I’d say he’s the best central defender we...

He didn’t have his man covered if ‘his man’ scored… The ball went past him too.

The first goals wasn’t freakish at all, it was just poor defending. First, we failed to clear our lines and Torp and then Binks’ loose aerial duels. Lati, Simms and Binks all ball watch before Simms’ touch teed it up for their defender. It was a good finish but that was after a catalogue of errors.

If the goal is automatic promotion, you have to compare that to the other teams around us and the quality isn’t there yet. They’re all young for CBs and adding someone with a bit of experience in and/or getting promotion from league could only be a good thing. There’s a gap at RB too that Lati...

Agreed. It’s usually a 1.5 hour drive back home for me to Coventry that took 2 hours despite leaving at 13:30 on Friday!

I said “older than 27”. I’d originally put Tats, Allen and Bidwell because I thought Sakamoto was 28 (he is in October).
