    Will Villa?

    Lampard at Rangers might work for both parties. Lampard at Norwich (where they will splash the cash more) might not. Bruce IMO a better fit. Lampard spent big at Derby and look what’s happened to them since financially. EG. £5m for Waghorn (Source: Sky Sports) might not be the type of thing...

    Will Villa?

    Let’s guess what next year looks like: Scenario 1) Lampard to Norwich. Norwich, Burnley, Watford down. Bournemouth, Fulham, WBA up Relegation on CV. Must then beat some really strong teams to be promoted again. Not a certainty. Scenario 2) Lampard to Rangers. Minimum double attendances...

    Will Villa?

    Surprised Bruce (ex Norwich player, out of work, steady pair of hands, fairly certain to get them re-promoted next season) is not favourite for Norwich Manager.

    Will Villa?

    That’d be a mistake.

    Will Villa?

    I’m not sure why people are saying “EPL to SPL is a step down”, or “EFL to SPL us a step down”, “Chelsea to Rangers is a step down” about Lampard. He’s out of work. Can’t see that taking the Rangers job is a “step down” for a jobless manager.

    Will Villa?

    I think Gerrard will be making a huge mistake if he moves to Villa. Smaller crowds, tougher league, no chance of CL football. As an aside, Lampard would do well to take the Rangers job (if SG moves). Three league titles on the bounce and a few forays into Europe and his reputation rebounds. I...

    Sheaf

    I think the blades will struggle with width He might go 4 at back with Kelly sitting deep. I think the Blades lack confidence as a club and direct attack with pace might be the key.

    Sheaf

    Boring bit: Sheaf is class but gives ball away. Rinse repeat. Just an observation, looking back at highlights: both goals / penalty award against - watch Sheaf. He needs to be on his toes, anticipating second ball / rebound / runner. He’s there with his hand in the air in a bit of no man’s...

    Ex Player Watch

    Shame for the lad. There was (I guess) the possibility of the new Norwich boss recalling him and him having a stint in the Prem if he kept his form up.

    20k crowd. Probably 4K more than budgeted. Extra revenue could be invested in specialist coaching. Just saying.

    Now we need Godden off and Allen or Jj on. Why? Next break with pace and a late tackle and the Ref will send a BCFC player off. Well done to MG for converting but it masks a mediocre display.
