    Transfer Rumour Ellis Simms

    Blaming the strikers when you concede poor goals and create no good chances is just a bit silly. Simms had one chance that game, should’ve tested the keeper but it wasn’t a horrendous miss.

    He’s always been a good instinctual finisher…

    Transfer Rumour Summer 2024

    Da silva has a longer, bigger contract that someone needs to pick up. So we’re unlikely to be able to offload even if we wanted to at this stage. I prefer Bidwell, my preference is an upgrade on both of them.

    Transfer Rumour Summer 2024

    I’m not against Bidwell leaving. He’s a good player but we need to be ambitious in the market. A left footed MVE is the dream. JDS will do as a backup.

    Should Ohare now be back up for Palmer

    It’s tactical, we’re a lot less direct than we were last season. We will need more players in to perfect that style of play.

    Should Ohare now be back up for Palmer

    A couple of my mates have said something to the effect of ‘COH has to score to have a good game’. Both are neutral and don’t really have any biases. For example, one of the games was Leicester and we both thought Palmer looked the more threatening player before he was subbed. Then again...

    It’s as much personnel than system. Sakamoto was a big reason for our success in 4-2-3-1. Same with Sheaf, we’ve looked defensively vulnerable since he’s been injured. I honestly think that our best team is in a 3-4-1-2/the box formation. I don’t like that either.

    Should Ohare now be back up for Palmer

    Tavares won’t be with us next season. He is only in the team because we’re short on numbers. He’s not a winger, probably never going to be because he doesn’t have the skill set other than his pace. Two goals against Maidstone doesn’t change that.

    Who is good enough next season?

    There’s players we need to upgrade on, absolutely. My priority areas are central midfield and out wide. The championship has ground us down in those areas. However, I do think you’ll look back on this and cringe. We had two bad performances missing key players. There’s a lot to play for still...

    Should Ohare now be back up for Palmer

    For the money, but to then want out of the most lucrative contracts these players have ever had is telling. Is it not? They probably also got sold a dream about the league and what life would be like out there. It’s important to note that the kinds of players going there are either older...

    Should Ohare now be back up for Palmer

    That’s not the be all and end all for footballers. Most footballers want to compete at the highest level they can. They obviously want to maximise their earnings, the difference between earning 100k per week and 50k per week is not much. When you’re earning that much you can do pretty much...

    Who is good enough next season?

    It’s fair to say the English domestic league is a lot tougher than La Liga. Madrid and Barcelona have won all the Champions Leagues compared to Chelsea, Liverpool, Man U and Man City in England. Likewise, Spurs and Arsenal have been finalists. Correct me if I’m wrong, the only other Champions...

    Transfer Rumour Summer 2024

    With the exception of Doyle, Hamer and Gyokeres from last seasons cohort, all other players are playing their football in League 1. Or at best, fighting for survival in Championshop - see McNally and Rose. Agree, it’s an incremental process and you can just sign new teams because we’ve built a...

    Transfer Rumour Summer 2024

    It’s pretty clear that we have had a lot of players in recent years that are punching above their weight with us. Robins and his team get the most out of average individuals. Players I’d put into the category of this is: - Godden - Kelly - Allen - JDS - Wilson There are a couple of others...

    I’ve not read the original books (yet) but Dune is such a large book and universe and is too large for one movie. A trilogy with some streamlined story telling seems to be the best way to tell the story - the original author’s son is happy with the outcome! The director set out for 3 movies...

    I agree on the points about Vik and Hamer. However, I do think putting balls in behind defences for Simms and Wright could work. My doubts are whether the team can execute those kind of counter attacking passes - we couldn’t on Friday. COH, Palmer, MVE and Tavares are not wingers - it isn’t...

    At 2-0, I went to the loo after the goal like many and this weird thing happened… … everyone become an expert football manager. ‘Why play 5 at the back?’ ‘Why not play Tavares?’ Tavares is not good enough to be a starter at Championship level. Maybe you could play Palmer, MVE and Wright on...
