No. Leadership is the single most important thing for any team/organisation. The manager is a leader but they also need players on the pitch to act as lieutenants. Kelly and McFadz were able to punch well above their weight for us because of this. In reality, neither player was good enough to...

Did you miss the L1 and early championship days? Kelly and McFadz were instrumental in organising the team. Even in the 22/23 season with the superstardom of Vik and Hamer, our solid defence was the foundation.

Some people are hopping on the bandwagon, I’m not against it per se. I was speaking to a lad at the casino after the Oxford game who’s a ‘convert’ from Man U to Coventry City. I’m sceptical because if Man U were winning the Prem and in UCL contention, I suspect we wouldn’t benefit from this...

Agreed, so at some point we’ll need a player to replace him. Burroughs is a WB and we don’t play with WBs anymore. He didn’t set the world alight at Lincoln so a loan to Scotland makes sense because he needs first team football and hasn’t demonstrated (yet) that he’s at the level we require...

If we’re bringing in understudies we’re not actually improving the team. Our midfield is lacking compared to the teams we hope to be around and likewise, so is our central defenders. That’s in the now, if we can’t bring in an experienced CB it could just about wait till Jan. Midfield has to be a...

My interpretation was that it was either casually racist or he’s calling Sakamoto a ‘nuclear disaster’ for the opposition. I don’t get it either.

His writing and narrating is a lot more entertaining than his football! 😂

Franck Moussa was Belgian.

In Japan and only 2 seasons in Belgium. 0 goals and in a relegated team from the Belgian league, which people had been calling a farmer’s league in reply to signing Bassette. Besides, the player hasn’t been signed to start like, Langstaff for Millwall (arguments sake). He’s got Simms and BTA...

Pretty sure if we revisit the Sakamoto thread from last season, there was a lack of enthusiasm in some quarters. Personally, I didn’t know who he was and if he was any good and the same applies here. Like most of our signings, they seem ‘too steep’ before they hit a good run of form and people...

Who himself was an obscure signing from the Swedish 2nd division…

I just can’t see us not signing a CM and could see us potentially waiting out for a CB until Jan. With Sheaf to come back a signing should shore up that area and give the players we’ve got a chance. We appear to be specifically after an experienced CB so cannot see us signing a random young...

It’s also a 50 game season so there will be a need to rotate and give players a break. I’ll admit I was surprised at this signing because after CB or CM, I’d be looking at a RB or even LB. Everything I’ve seen on him (granted, I know nothing about him) indicates he’s a centre forward only.

Depth chart of first team players as things stand: GK: Dovin, Collins, Wilson RB: MVE, Lati CB1: Thomas, CB2: Binks, Kitching LB: Bidwell, JDS CM1: Sheaf, Torp CM2: Eccles, Allen AM: Rudoni, Palmer RW: Sakamoto, Rapha, Tavares LW: EMC, Wright ST: Simms, BTA, Bassette Definitely hoping...

I’m assuming we’re going for more than 1 player, these deals take time to come to fruition. Currently listening to Neil Warnock’s audiobook on Spotify and it’s interesting as well as being revealing!

There was an Ipswich fan calling for STs to be abolished so everyone can go to 4-5 games a season… I wonder what games those are?! 🤔 If you get to 1100 points, you’re more or less guaranteed access to whatever game you want. That’s where I’m at despite not doing many games in the 22/23 season...

Jack Burroughs has been loaned out to Kilmarnock. Hopefully, we’re making progress on bringing in a CB (Worrall) or RB at least. Good luck to him!

Exactly and other clubs weight their loyalty points according to demand. I work with a few Chelsea members and Tottenham at home bags you 1 loyalty point/caps because it’s a game everyone wants to go to. Our points systems is good and suits our purposes for now. As our tickets get more and more...

100% - ask Swansea fans what Gyokeres was like for them and they’d have told you that you’re barmy if you believed he’d be a top Championship striker, let alone a top European one. The Championship is a tough league.

I agree because it seems strange that in-demand games get 20 points. For example, WBA away is 20 points, the same as Blackburn Rovers away - both midweek. At some point, I expect that they’ll start to weight loyalty points based on categories. Midweek cup games at home like this should be given...
