There are a lot of things I find troubling and confusing about this summer. Our first choice CB pairing from last season having been entirely replaced by two players that barely got a look in last season is high amongst them.

Cov kid frustrated during that performance. Must have been because he fancied a sit down... bizarre non sequitur. 🤨 This idea that we would linch him if he was our big signing from South America - maybe we would. But he is not. He is just some kid that cost nothing and runs his @rse off for...

Club might really need to rethink how important this policy is to them. Fine if they really nailed the end of transfer window but having cracked down on ITKs they then completely failed to deliver. If a potential signing gets injured/costs the earth or mucks us around - we get it, right? But the...

This is eminently sensible suggestion. Not sure I follow the arguement that a 4-2-3-1 = more midfielders than a 4-4-2 and people are overlooking our defensive fraility on the left in a 4-2-3-1 with Wright. I favour SB's 4-3-3 but that came with the caveat 'when everyone is fit' which isn't...

They wanted to do a deal that wasn't there to be done so they might as well get nobody? 🤷‍♂️

Doing this again are we?

Don't want to play him next season if we don't go up and Chelsea get relegated.

NB. I'm not proposing this as a chant but for reasons best left unexplored this has got Moby's 'Run on' stuck in my head. Through utter ignorance of the actual words I seem to have decided the original lyrics are something along the lines of: You can keep on shooting for a long, long time...

Yeah, I'm going to have to agree with this. Can't really see that subbing him off at the 60 minute mark each game really improves the team or is in any way to Simms' benefit. It feels more like Robins is doing it because he feels he has to give other players some minutes. It has upset some of...

I'm not saying he is good enough but I don't think he is being played where he is best suited. I see him as back up for Rudoni in the more advanced position. Problem is we don't really have anyone else.

I'm a little surprised to be honest. Given the competition for places and that he has only been with us a week I was assuming he would sit this one out. It will be interesting to see who is not on the bench. 😬

I'll leave the accountancy stuff to others but my point was that in order to trigger the buy out clause they may have to pay the full amount up front (this is the standard in buy out clauses). i.e. a buying club may not have an option to unilaterally declare that it is paying £86m in...

The gates... and that they just sold their best player for £15m. They needed to replace Clarke; we bought Norman for the LoLs. Hopefully he will work out for us but our situation isn't comparable with Sunderland's.

Yeah... better coaching - if he doesn't quite make it there we might have him back, if he doesn't make it here he is looking right down the pyramid, if he falls out of football entirely at least he has a nice house. I don't like it, but what can you do?

Albeit a rather limited one. ;)

Don't think anyone is reading much into the cup game. A few of us had Bristol City down as 'dark horses' this season. This game could be a real measure of where both clubs are and you would expect the winner to go well this season. A draw wouldn't be a disaster for us away from home but we are...

IF we go 4-4-2 surely the main reason for doing that is to get our 3 most expensive players on the pitch? i.e. : Dovin MVE - Thomas - Kitching - Bidwell Saka - Sheaf - Rudoni - EMC Simms - Wright Not sure how Sheaf/Rudoni would work as a CM pair but otherwise that's a strong looking 11. Good...

Getting closer to the first team. Must have really impressed in training. 😂
