    New Highway Code rules coming in

    This is why modern driving tests have hazard awareness. It’s the belief that you should be able to career along at whatever speed you want regardless of surroundings that’s the problem. Same as OP complaining people stopping will lead to rear enders: only if you aren’t a safe distance in the...

    New Highway Code rules coming in

    Nah I’m with LG and JHFC here. We should be moving to a cyclist/pedestrian/hoverboard first system. The idea that roads are for big hunks of meta going 40mph and everyone else needs to GTFO is wrong. Sure if we can segment off some space for a cycle lane then great, but in a country as cramped...

    Good. No place for that. Plenty of other stuff to abuse Stoke players about. Like the fact they play for Stoke.

    Think it was mostly to do with not have any decent AMs on the pitch to link play TBH. The amount of times there were just no options ahead of the defence or DMs…

    Hilsner Loaned Out!

    We also paid a fee for Kasta and gave him a three year deal.

    Genuinely love him. So calm on the ball, love the little fake then drive past the attacker he does, probably the best passer of the three and big and strong and good in the air too. Really hope we sign him in the summer.

    Really? I thought he failed to get near his man a lot last night and was at fault for QPRs winner. Cos of where I sit it’s harder to tell second half so maybe I missed some stuff.

    Not massively impressed yet, will withhold judgement until he’s had a few weeks to bed in. On current showing I’d put Maatsen straight back in.

    That’s more because Allen and Shipley are poor than O’Hare is some unique talent though. No one who’s been frustrated with O’Hare has been advocating putting Shipley in instead.

    Yeah same. I’ve been burned one too many times on new signings 😂. Just want to see something from him where I go “oh that’s why we signed him”. He’s had about a weeks training though so plenty of time and good to have a LWB of our own.

    We need another one of him even if we don’t sell him, no one else in the squad can fill in really.

    Maybe. I’ve not seen him much so not sure what to compare him to but watched the Swansea game again and thought the same then. He takes up what look like good positions then doesn’t seem to make the most of them. No doubting the quality of his crosses, just curious how he’ll fit into our set up.

    Didn’t see it with Eccles either. He got better but for a midfielder his first touch and ability to hold the ball is poor. But he was out of position and just starting out and I thought he’s looked OK in previous cameos. Back three and Sheaf were excellent. Allen was OK but gets lost in the CM...

    I don’t “get” him. Doesn’t beat a man, not great defensively, has a good cross but doesn’t seem to want to take up positions where he’ll receive it and whip one in. I do like that he arrives back stick though, been one of my bugbears about our wingbacks.

    Well no, because we can’t sell him and play him from 18 months ago instead.
