Smallbone was class against us last season for Stoke. However, on Saturday he was a substitute and came on in the 87th minute. Their midfield must be good for him not to be starting OR their manager is missing something?

Regarding the comments that COH doesn’t fit the system. It wasn’t long ago that some were criticising MR for not having a plan B . Potentially, we now can adjust to a back 3 with wing backs etc , if our current system isn’t working against certain teams.

The evidence being highlighted in the enquiry demonstrates the PM's lack of care and intelligence to grasp the scope of elements to be considered. It seems to me that focus was on economy first, without realising that late lockdowns led to increased economic damage. Old people are dispensable...

I had expected a far better return from Simms & Wright by this time. However, I'm left wondering if the system we are playing doesn't fit with the players. Playing two up front with Godden + Simms/Wright just doesn't seem to work. They're is little linkage play between them and aimless long...

If in a couple of weeks we have Allen, O'Hare & Palmer at full fitness. Will we see MR return to the box formation with Simms as the only striker in some matches?

In identifying a successful coach rational clubs take into account previous performances. Obviously, in Birmingham's case they ignored data and decided they liked the name Rooney!

Ridiculous decision making by Eccles. Why faff around with it inside our box? Just clear it!

Are you suggesting that we have to commission someone to write totally new songs for the club? There was a song written specifically for us by that bloke from King (if my memory serves me correctly) …. And that was a dreary song. It didn’t help that it was our first season after relegation from...

At least the sky blue song is specific to our club. Most of our other songs are redrafted from generic football songs

No alcohol or parties in Saudi. Not sure that's for him

I appreciate that this one persons opinion, which they are entitled to. However, to compare players from league 2 with players from our premier league/L1 era is daft. Ian Gibson not being included is bizarre and when you consider numerous players who played at international level are ranked...

The match for Jamaica is at 1.00 local time, so 6 pm Uk on Wednesday. Additionally the USA are playing at 1.30 local time on the same day, so Hagi is affected. I would expect all 3 to be on the bench. I hope the USA match is in the east of the country rather than west coast, due to time...

I'm guessing that MR will be pressing the scouting and recruitment team to identify a CM player for the january window. Probably from Europe.

The accountants dream signing! ;)

I've been a critic of him in the past. He had a decent performance on Saturday, but it was an easy game to ref.

Given that King is acting as Executive Chair, which inevitably means many elements of a CEO's job role and now the recruitment of a COO. Then I would presume that DB's job will be made redundant.

Tomorrow we'll have to endure the refereeing of Keith Stroud. Not something I'm looking forwards to!

My ST arrived this morning via normal postie ...........no gold plated platter service from Dave Buddy for me!

I'm getting worried...my ST has not yet turned up.

One thing that people are missing in the funding of the Saudi league is the domestic political agenda. KSA has a young population profile and they are passionate about football. Mohammed Bin Salman has created a number of new initiatives including cinemas , sports events etc. which helps in...
