The women’s game is past proving they can fill stadiums. It’s proved popularity and a niche in the market. However, it needs to prove it can also be profitable. Bearing in mind a ticket for the men’s game in the ETSC zone costs £25 (Wembley on a weekday is inconvenient), the pricing seems a...

We’re 6 games in, not every bad result needs to precipitate massive changes. I personally wouldn’t have started the same team v Swansea. However, the logic was sound because the performance against Spurs was admirable. If anything, an unchanged team from Watford away would’ve made more sense -...

Additionally, the optics is terrible. They stated just how bad public finances were, chose a universal benefit that cost £1bn (or so) but in the same breath ‘pay off’ their trade union masters with inflation busting pay rises worth 4 or 5 times that. Then, targeting pensioners is the least...

Yep, buyers remorse has definitely started to kick in. That’s quite a statement given just how unpopular the Tory government was and in hindsight, how stupid it was for an early election. It’s not out of the realms of possibility for Reform to have a breakthrough in the Red Wall at...

I think our is at least original. The problem being the original concept for the away kit is better in theory than in practice. The home and alternate kits are lot better than the away one.

The first mistake anyone can make is to put their trust or faith in any politician. The whole Labour ‘donor-gate’ wouldn’t be as big issue had they not played ‘holier than thou’ in Opposition. Specifically, just how hard Starmer went in on Boris Johnson for ‘wallpaper-gate’.

It’s been a pretty shambolic start for the government to be honest. Even Rachel Reeves has had to dial down some of the rhetoric about the state of public finances because it’s almost talking the country into recession by decreasing confidence. Sir John Curtice (an expert pollster) has already...

It’s a nice take on the away shirt and seeing a lot of the rainbow clobber being worn to games so seems to be popular and a money spinner. On the design, not really a fan of the multicoloured kits - the last one I bought (but barely worn) was the 3rd kit from 2022/23. Commercially, the club...

I have my own opinion that we’re better playing direct, counterattacking football but again, we’re 6 games in. When we hit some good form I genuinely get the impression we’ll go for decent run. It’s a cliche for a reason, but momentum is so important in this league. We’re also not the only...

If we’re fighting relegation in March/April, then fair enough, the mob will be right… we’ve had 9 games this season and our record is 3-2-4. It’s not quite a disaster yet. The league is obviously not going to plan, 9 points is playoff pace after 6 games which is turning two draws into 2 wins.

I’ve been happy with Dovin, personally. Likewise, neutral fans have been complementary of him. Agree that there is something lacking in defence and midfield.

It was a fluid formation, MVE and Lati were shifting around. Numerous times our shape had 3 CBs and a flat 5 when defending resembling a 3-4-2-1. There were times where MVE was higher up the pitch than a typical RWB and it resembled a 4-2-3-1. It can be both simultaneously. Formations are...

A few people could do with taking back some comments on this thread! 😂

We actually don’t know apart from the things we see on the pitch. Even so, in any team environment, morale fluctuates based on results, all it takes is a momentum shift and things will be ok. The lack of any senior players is concerning, particularly in difficult times like this. This is where...

I like that about Kitching too, after our dip in form in March/April, Binks probably deserved a run in the side. The average goals conceded with him and/or Lati playing CB should worry anyone. With the team lacking in leaders on the field, you’d think ex-Barnsley captain Kitching would be more...

A part of me thinks that Binks is in the team for his range of passing because we’re missing that in midfield. His left to right diagonals are really good. Defensively, I do think he’s soft compared to Kitching and the amount of goals we concede with him in the team atm is concerning. Against...

Robins will figure out if that’s what he actually needs. 2 months into a season you’re not going to know for sure. Any neutral observer would feel that it is ridiculous to even have this conversation this early into a season in relation to a manager who’s been head and shoulders above the rest...

It’s 6 league games into the campaign, it’s too early to judge on anything. The underlying data metrics show we’ve played better than our results suggest. A lot of the we have spent is on players who will develop too, players like Rudoni and EMC probably just need a good run in the side and hit...

I said to my group that after that bad performance, watch us get a result at Leeds. Safe to say that was treated with a lot of scepticism. We just tend to play better against better teams because we’re not as open. We’re actually trying to be closed defensively and move the ball directly in...

We’ve spent a lot of money but given the scale of money required to challenge at the top of the table, it’s not that much. Especially when you look at the state of the team in 2022/23. The team after the loans, Vik and Hamer leaving would have struggled in the Championship.
