    Transfer Rumour David Meyler

    Like him, but if his wages are high then unless his parent club pays a decent percentage I struggle to see it happening. Wouldn't be against it, though.

    2 goals in 3 games since he signed full time. Decent return!

    I meant that at least we can't defend the draw now.

    Sunderland Documentary

    I found it interesting how Grayson was told he had to have 5 (iirc) under 25s in the team to ensure some resale value. The manager being dictated to in that way cannot help the team perform. I couldn't help but wonder if some of our recent managers were given similar direction.

    Match Thread Shrewsbury Town vs. Coventry City Match Thread - Saturday 22nd Dec

    There's no plan B. We've had a host of managers who can't change things when the game is slipping away. That's probably why they manage at this level of the game.

    Match Thread Shrewsbury Town vs. Coventry City Match Thread - Saturday 22nd Dec

    Towards the end of last season, Robins took the decision to be bold. For some reason, he's gone back into a defensive mindset. Maybe he thinks we aren't good enough to play open football. I kind of agree, but I wish he'd give the players some level of free reign. They just seem overly restricted...

    So, two weeks before Christmas

    If the board (lol) genuinely think the club may die in the summer, then I imagine there are some financial implications that may affect whether we spend in Jan or not?

    Perhaps there'll be a WITC to replace it.

    I guess this decision has quite wide-ranging impact. It isn't just the fans that will be crushed, but local businesses, charities, and community partners. Short-sighted decisions all round.

    Where does the Higgs fall in all this? Didn't CCFC sign a multi-year agreement with them not too long ago? Assuming I'm right (I might not be - I try not to pay attention) then isn't this more than just the club / fans being screwed, but a charity too?

    Worst Manager since premier league relegation

    For me it's Pressley. He made me fall out of love with football for the best part of a year. Yes, we did well at Northampton, but I didn't get to see that, and when we came back to the Ricoh it was pure, unadulterated dross. Plus his post-match interviews made me want to punch myself in the face...

    Your January transfer window

    3 signings? A tough target man in the Mick Harford mould. A proper second striker ala Tommy Johnson, so we can shove Chaplin a little further forward. A back-up to Bayliss. Our downturn in form has coincided with his absence.

    Jordan Shipley - is he good enough for league 1

    Or Chris Hussey. IIRC he had a game midweek somewhere at left mid and play like he'd never seen a ball before.

    Bakayoko

    Perhaps that's why he bought him. If Robins can get him playing with effort then perhaps he has the attributes to be a top player. A gamble for sure, but that's where we are as a club - playing the odds.

    Red Dead Redemption 2

    As a huge fallout fan, I'm sad to say the new one looks dodgy. Watched a handful of lengthy youtube videos of the beta, and graphically it was poor, the control mechanics weren't optimised, and the AI was gash - enemies spawning behind your back in an instant. I get that it's meant to be MMO so...

    Enjoyable series, young man. You should be proud of yourself for producing such quality content. Informative and entertaining. Keep up the good work.

    Perhaps we'll see a supersub soon. We need a kick up the backside.
