Yes, absolutely. Is that Swahili?

Any shots on goal?

Sounds encouraging so far…#sardonic

Had to look it up, as I couldn’t recall the guys name: it was Clint Malarchuk, in 1989, for the Sabres. It’s considered the worst injury on-ice in NHL history, and one of the reports actually said that if the paramedic hadn’t put his thumb against the artery in his neck, he would have died. I...

Hopefully, this is 100% nailed on accurate, as I feel it’s the right time for MR to make that formation/personnel change.

Have a look at the video yourself, it’s easy to find. I actually put: ‘The best out of what he has’, which, he historically has done for us. Did I intimate that I was referring to Wright? What a bizarre reply to make, to someone who was trying to put things in perspective for another member.

I watched the latest video on the official channel, the one with MR and COH talking to Clive. MR put the issues he’s facing in a very telling, and broader context. I get the concern, I really do. There’s always that ‘what if we go back to the bad old days of league 1 and 2’ lingering, because...

I must have dreamt the part about ‘not following instructions’, then. Hands are up; I take it back.

II can’t seem to find the article I read on here (via Sky Blues Extra) and I’m sure it stated that MR said that MVE wasn’t following instructions. 🤷‍♂️ Again, the ‘attitude’ remark was a supposition. MR is usually very protective over his players, I just found it odd that he’d publicly state...

Yes, reading between the lines, it seems he’s prepared to go on a free. He’ll get himself fit, by his own admission, then enter into talks. Maybe he has had a few offers already, which isn’t a surprise. Which is a shame, as he’s been a pivotal player for us, over four years (?).

The fact that MR has publicly stated that he doesn’t follow instructions? This would indicate a possible ‘attitude’ issue, hence the words I used: ‘maybe’ and ‘questionable’.

To be honest, Wright looks like the dud out of all of them; Thomas is rough, but is still developing: Tatsu is a useful utility player: Simms probably will get more goals if there’s an ounce of creativity behind him: Kitching has potential: MVE has bags of ability, but maybe his attitude is...

Funny you should say that, it crossed my mind earlier when I saw that Fenerbahce has previous interest. Stranger things have happened…

Me too, it’s gelly disheartening.

In all seriousness, if it’s in his best interests, and ours, and if the interest is genuine, then a £1.7m loss in January is better than more (potentially) by the end of the season.

Could be a thrashing, or a turning point. Who knows. Either way, the problems are obvious, MR has to act accordingly, or the morale will hit rock bottom sooner rather than later.

I was being facetious, I apologise - I just think we can hammer out all of these plausible possibilities, and then, consequently, be filled with a false hope that the system will be changed, because we can see it needs to. MR is, as we know, notoriously stubborn. I would say, perhaps the last...

Another formation thread…joyous.

However, we didn’t? Due to the issues that are now patently obvious. 🤷‍♂️ The comment I made about ‘it’s as if we’re playing to lose’ was probably a step too far into soggy sheet territory, though. Nevertheless, without that typical spirit, drive and actual cohesion we see in MR’s teams, we’re...

I’d even venture to say (if nobody has already), that Middlesborough are an example of a team that had to ‘gel’ due to some major personnel changes - they were abysmal, but now look at them. I think, personally, our issues run a tad deeper than a cosmetic inability to ‘gel’. However, again...
