    Callum O’Hare

    May seem like an over reaction but things like that show how happy and comfortable he must be here - same with the pump it up clip last year. He is loving his football here and seems fully on board with the club and fans. He’s going nowhere this year.

    Transfer Shouts

    I don’t think Brown would be too bad. His history is very uninspiring; a journeyman (albeit a young ish one) with no real rave reviews, coming off the back of a season with little football. But he was once highly thought of and like most players, with some consistency and confidence we may...

    Transfer Shouts

    Info like this make the Kane signing even more bonkers. It didn’t seem a good fit from the start; older than our “usual” signing, not a rising star/high prospect player and one with off field issues. The latter has become even more apparent as it’s clear to see - he has an attitude problem...

    Transfer Shouts

    Back to the Masunda rumours/guess work; it wouldn’t be a bad signing at all, as long as it’s weighted in our favour. So lower basic salary v higher appearance fee, clause to release of doesn’t meet ‘x’ appearances etc. Might not be the best deal for him, but it means staying at a good level and...

    Championship 21/22

    It does. But its also reconfirmed; with the right additions in the right positions, there’s no reason we can’t be in their positions next year.

    Fankaty Dabo vs Todd Kane

    Feel for him in some ways (unless BD tells me not to as he’s been a tosser behind the scenes) but for footballing reasons I’m pleased. He’s terrible. Started average, looked good (albeit in more of a traditional RB way) then regressed massively and looked like he couldn’t even remember his...

    Which one

    Said it a while back and nothing has changed; Hamer for me. He has the ability to be our absolute stand out, and a game changer, and when he’s on it, it’s impressive. But he isn’t anywhere near enough. He’s also the most easily replaceable. In terms of the others COH is absolutely pivotal to...

    Transfer Shouts

    No thanks. Big fan of his when he was here, but for the wages he would demand, plus his poor injury history, he isn’t worth it. Even more importantly, Sheaf is a similar style of player (keeps things simple, recycles the ball, ball player, composed etc) and I wouldn’t want anyone stopping his...

    Thank you Jordan Shipley

    Good luck to him and I wish him every success: He’s been a big part of a lot of good things over the last few years and key to the revival. As others have said, we just got a level too high. The whole ‘Cov Kid’ thing was used as a negative by some, but for me it’s fantastic he was such a...

    Stadium is rammed. Atmosphere is all good so far. Nerves have kicked in now. Really hope we do something today; the atmosphere when we score will be ridiculous. Shame there’s no Dabo as it limits our attacking intent on the right, but other than that it’s a strong team.

    Match Thread Bournemouth (H) Easter Monday

    Just catching up on the attendance thread - everything is pointing to a great day; suns out, massive crowd, something to play for and momentum on our side. Please, please don’t do what we usually do in this sort of situation!!

    Bournemouth attendance

    Atmosphere is going to be ridiculous today. Cannot wait. My partner has bailed, so I’m bringing a mate along with the spare ST I have. He’s a Man U fan, but he’s been to way more Cov games (including L2 days) so at this stage he’s basically a closet Sky Blue.

    O'hare norwich according to national papers

    Inevitable there will be interest, but it’s absolutely pivotal we do all we can to keep him. I think he has a real affiliation for the club too, and while money talks, hopefully that at least stops him attempting to push through any moves/jumping at the first chance. Also, a move to another...

    Jamie allen

    Not every player needs to be a game changer, that’s what COH, Hamer, and in a different sense, Sheaf are for. Allen is good off the ball, full of energy and tidy on it. He’s also the only box to box midfielder we have. He’s not a sole 10, but can do a job in the advanced position when we play...

    Massive game and I can’t wait. All my usual lot are in corporate, so I’m dragging my partner along with one of the spare ST’s. She left at HT last time…..! I really really detest Adam Smith but can’t put my finger on whether it’s a specific incident or he’s just a tosser. Hope he gets destroyed...

    Match Thread Birmingham City (A) - Fri 15th April

    Not long home. What a result!!! Poor performance, but for what that result means, there’s no need to dissect it too much. I said pre game, a win puts us absolutely back in it - a place that a few games ago a lot thought we’d completely lost. Absolute credit to MR and his back room team for...

    Match Thread Birmingham City (A) - Fri 15th April

    Expecting three points today, then it’s suddenly an exciting end to the season again, something we didn’t think possible two games ago. What a season and what a time to be a fan, it’s been a great few years. Not that you’d think that from the posting history of a few on here. 2-0, Gyokeres, COH.

    This Summer

    It’ll be interesting to see what we do over summer and whether MR is given a decent budget. We really aren’t that far away, keep the majority of the core, add two CB’s, a LWB, and another 10 and ideally a striker (assuming we can get rid of Walker and Waghorn). Anything else is a bonus. Of the...
