It’s all about context. If he was a fan, it’s not a massively unfair thing to say. But, he’s not a fan, he’s a football manager - his boss. His job is to rally a struggling team and those in the malicious fashion that it was, undermined that. He had to go. Think about it this way: If your...

That quote about Dabo was something a football fan would say in the pub after a few too many beers. It was unprofessional, ugly and unacceptable. Who would want to play for a coach like that? Especially targeting a player for a moment in their career that would cause them pain is classless.

I can confirm that Coventry City are bidding ‘substantial sums’ on an unnamed player but they face fierce competition for them. Also, please donate to my Patreon here:

With Shipley, he scored a goal in the playoff final and he got promoted twice with us. To be fair, he scored quite a decent amount of goals and goal scorers get more adulation. All that said, Shipley has criticised a lot in the Championship - ‘not fit to wear the shirt’ was said a lot about him...

It’s naive to expect a 1:1 spend on transfer revenue in and out. There’s the fees we’ve supposedly paid, the agent fees and player wages to take into account to. Which is going to increase as well. To make any player the highest paid player by a margin can be problematic and raise wage...

To be rebranded in Red Bull kits like Leipzig and Salzburg? Hard pass.

I like Eccles but if we want to progress to the next level, he’ll probably slip down the pecking order in my view. Sheaf and Eccles have stepped since Hamer has left, but is that area of the pitch better than last season? I’d say no. Even before COH got injured last season, we generally...

£15m is probably what I’d expect to get for Hamer with 2-3 years left on his contract rather than just the 1 year. We got lucky that Sheffield Utd appear to have got a bit desperate to make a signing.

Agreed, but I would imagine Torp has kept relatively fit as I’d imagine he was aware that a move was probably happening in January. Whilst there’s no rush to play him, MR will be keen to give game time as soon as he’s ready.

IIRC, on the Sporting side they sold themselves as a destination to develop and attract a massive move in the future. In hindsight, Sporting has gave him a better opportunity to put himself in the shop window than say, the host of Prem clubs supposedly interested; Wolves, Palace, West Ham and...

There was nothing for Doug to lose his nerve over. Fans get carried away with emotions which is why you had people on here questioning the ownership, signings, MR and his team. It’s often the case that we’re short term Even at our lowest, the xG table had us at 6th and whilst those kind of...

Our away results since PNE (since changing formation): - Millwall, 3-0 win - Ipswich, loss 2-1 - with a missed penalty and conceding a world class goal - Leeds 1-1 draw - Sunderland, 3-0 win - Middlesborough, 3-1 win Our away record is just as good as our home record atm. The reality is that...

Wright is out with an adductor tear and best case he’s out for the next ‘week or two’. With that in mind, I’d stick with the same team that started against Leicester. Potentially starting Simms over Godden. The reason being that I’d expect us to be in possession more against Wednesday so...

Love the shithousery in this post! I’m sure Hackers had plenty to send our way had the result gone Leicester’s way. Enzo’s post match comments would really worry me if I was a Leicester fan. He’s said some things that don’t - Leicester weren’t in control of the first half - Palmer didn’t...

We’ll be Top 6 and it’ll be more comfortable than last season. Over two legs, I’d fancy us against Ipswich, Hull, Sunderland and possibly Watford. However, WBA is a maybe and I wouldn’t make us favourites to beat Southampton or Leeds over two legs. Strangely, over two legs I’d fancy us to beat...

Has anyone considered that COH might just want to play at a higher standard next season? Us offering to pay an extra 10-20k a week isn’t going to make a difference if he can get the same terms at a top flight team in England/Spain. We were just unlucky at the timing of his injury.

Pretty sure COH said he didn’t want to enter contract before during his rehab. If that’s the case, the timing of the injury seems to have done us over here.

Often, it’s the years where the league isn’t competitive that increases the points tally of the top teams, naturally. With it being a competitive field this season, you’d think 70-73 points will be enough for 6th place. We’ve just got to keep the points ticking over now. We’ve had a v...

Thank you, that means a lot. He lived a long life for his breed. He used to jump around like a mad man with me when we scored when I’d be watching the games in the living room!

IIRC, didn’t Better Days say Jones was treated by one of the best surgeons in the country? I would imagine that this time around with COH, the rehab was better, so you’re right. The difference being. COH is coming back and playing whole games whereas Jones was only making bit part appearances...
