    While the sky is blue - The Believers

    I was still fairly young when we were at HR, but I recall all of these songs. Great nostalgia and I wouldn’t be opposed to a few making it into the pre game mix. I’m sure they can transition from Tiesto to Sky Blue Believer…..

    Championship thread 24/25!

    Tried to find a still/photo of Hamer from the game tonight as I wasn’t fully watching so couldn’t see how bad he was - and I really want to after reading the comments in here now!

    I think Lampard will have learned from Leeds/Ipswich games, and even the Sheff U/Leeds game tonight, and we’ll play more offensively as we did on Saturday. Play like that and we’re more than capable of giving Leeds and Sheff U a game. Probably naive but I don’t think Rudoni will go anywhere...

    Preston player ratings

    Everyone played well and it was a great team performance. It was good to see us playing on the front foot, it makes such a difference. We have two good wingers and a ball playing deep lying playmaker, so it absolutely makes sense. Preston switched tactics first half and shape second, yet we...

    Pato

    He looked rusty, which is understandable. He also would have been absolutely full of nerves. I think both impacted his performance today. But he didn’t hide, showed his technically very able and will come good. Writing him off is nonsense really.

    Very good performance, best for a long time, perhaps even the season. 10 needless nervous minutes at the end, but I had faith we’d see it through. Team has developed that resilience and ability to find a way; it’s reminiscent of the play off season. Exciting times ahead!

    Rudoni a waste of money. Sakamoto has lost it. Bassette > Simms. Classic stuff.

    Pitch looks shit. Their 20 likes to mix it. Get Kitching on the wind up of their 28.

    Pato

    Him turning us down keeps being mentioned, but didn’t get any response when I asked this a few weeks ago. It’s just a reason to be unfairly bitter with no substance.

    Just realised they have that donkey Porteous at the back. He plays RCB usually, let’s hope EMC can get at him and exploit his lack of pace or general ability.

    I think we’ll win and with a good performance to boot. Confidence and momentum are still on our side and with that rumoured strong bench we are in a great position to change the game if needed, especially offensively. Not sure he’ll go to his preferred 4 ATB yet, but either way I’d like Grimes...

    Ellis simms

    He’s so good and so much potential too. I’m convinced his introverted personality is the reason he isn’t a fan favourite and is often on the boo boys list. Anyone still crying for the bloke who runs around a lot and points for the ball in impossible places?

    Poor performance but fantastic result. All the cliches re playing poorly and winning are entirely relevant. Starting to have that same play off season feeling; finding form at the right time, grinding out results, camaraderie and connection growing, momentum on our side. And Sheffield has...

    Collins On The Bench Again

    Decent enough team, back to the shape which brought us success and a strong bench. Feeling pretty hopeful. Side note; the constant point scoring and bickering is tragic.

    Pato

    Really playing into the Coventry thing, and I’m absolutely all for it. Before people get themselves worked up, he’s never “rejected” us. Good signing and it’s even better he’s a Cov kid.

    No alcohol allowed at the 2034 World Cup

    Obviously you don’t need alcohol to have a good time and all that. However, if you’re spending a fair whack to go to Saudi to watch the the WC you surely want the choice on whether you have a beer or not. It’s also part of a big tournament, the social side of being with your...

    How good is Sakamoto?

    There’s also the fact he’s not had a sustained run in his favoured RW position with MVE behind him. If we switch back to a 4 soon he’s a guaranteed starter in that role, especially as he has no real competition. I would like to sign a pacey RW for next year but would definitely keep Sakamoto...
