Tavares wouldn’t have been brought if the game was closer. He had some nice dribbles but the rest of his game was noticeably below our standard. I’m sure he could do well in L2 or L1 at a push.

Looks like we’re going to pick apart Peterborough’s squad in the same way we did Barnsley this preseason. They have a lot of promising young players so I’m all for it!

My brother got to the stadium at 19:20-25 and still missed KO - he said there was a 15m period where queue seemingly did not move at all. I parked up at Christ the King at 19:40, walked to the turnstile and nearly got in before him. Middlesborough in the playoffs and Oxford Utd in the cup were...

He needs to add some assists to his game too now. There are times where I feel he can be a bit selfish or can take too long making a pass. At 1-1, there was a great opportunity to put Saka through on goal but the pass attempted was to Wright with 2 defenders around him. This is nit picky from...

With Simms and Wright, there’s undoubtedly an element of price. Tonight, every time they didn’t do something perfect it was ‘we spent 7 million on him’ or ‘he’s on 30k a week’. Someone was saying Hadji Wright was shit after he’d scored… It’s hilarious. He became our top scorer tonight and...

Block 20 by any chance? There some right dingles near me. Including a man who was shoving past people on the stairs at the end of the game and very clearly coked up on a Tuesday night - how sad.

We played really well today! Hats off to COH for his finishing, Hadji Wright got a nice strikers goal! What a difference it makes when we get good wuality I really felt for Simms when he missed. He knew he messed it up and some of the supporters around me reacted in the usual hyperbolic way...

€11m is about £9m which is the upper value of Wright’s deal.

This round is entirely midweek - so we’re opening the round which is something, I guess…

No one has been cutting it centrally… why do you think that is? Sakamoto looked pretty average at WB and AM and when he’s on form, he’s one of our best players.

Simms was a player wanted by Robins. It’s in his first interview after he signed. Simms had a lot of suitors and he made it clear that MR’s plan for him was why he chose us.

Considering this is the 4th time we’re playing Wednesday since Boxing Day, that’s fantastic. I’ll be honest, I’m not massively up for this game but it’s some quality time with my brother!

Peterborough set their stall out. They weren’t selling players without a loan-back agreement. I imagine we tried to offer more than we paid in the end to not have a loan back. Then in the end, the two clubs compromised. I’m looking forward to the Daragh MacAntony’s podcast where he said he’ll...

Lots of slick dribbling moves - only Sunderland away did he get a pass in the box and just banged it. He’s by no means scoring poachers goals. It’s been a joy seeing COH elevate his game. We can dredge up the infamous COH thread asking the ridiculous question of whether or not he was a burden...

A long drive to the stadium?

Update: after relentlessly refreshing for 20-30m, I seized the opportunity to get the one ticket that came available! Mucca Mad Boys on tour 😂

Fucked it - I'm in the 1000 point window but my brother is on 930... So waited for the 1400 window and looked around 14:25 and all the tickets seem to be gone!

We make it easy for them. Pumping up long balls to strikers is meat and drink for most centre halves. I remember Clive Platt being handled very easily when we played that shore under Boothroyd. Likewise, there are times where we can predictable in the final third when we try to pass it in the...

Wright’s physically is underrated. He’s just not as strong as Vik was and he was joke. Simms isn’t a traditional target man either. When the ball is pumped up to him he isn’t great - he’s had some decent games operating like that but against aerially dominant CBs, he isn’t going to look good...

That shouldn’t surprise anyone. For the audience, how many touches was Vik getting last season? From this, it’s probably fair to say that their touches in the box is next to non-existent?
