I think MR will look to go with a more defensive base for this game. I can see Giles being dropped in favour of McCallum, and if Dabo isn't fit it wouldn't surprise me to see Ostigaard played at RWB. Elsewhere Kelly will surely play as an extra midfielder with Bakayoko dropping out. The only...

Doyle did the tactical sly fouls, shirt pulls, little clips here and there just like Hamer does now, but wasn't as blatant as Hamer so got away with more. He had that knack of knowing just how far to push it with refs too, who would often let him off for fouls others would get booked for. He was...

My interpretation of it is that games shown live on Sky (excluding the red button games) are the ones not available on i follow. At this moment I fully expect to be watching the Swansea game on i follow.

He was mostly injured at Oxford and his career has flattered to deceive so far. Still young enough to come through, but at this moment he looks more a League 1 player than a Championship one.

Any payments made by the PL need to be shared on an equitable basis. You can't have a situation where big spending clubs are bailed out, allowing them to keep better players, while those more responsible clubs are then penalised. If there has to be a disparity though, then maybe those clubs in...

Richard Spong - came over from Sweden into our youth team and expected to be another Roland Nilsson.

A potential European Super League isn't the same as the Champions League. Much though I despise the Champions League, it is still a meritocracy of sorts, whereby the likes of Leicester can still qualify if they perform well enough. If the big 6 decide to go and play in a closed shop European...

I've often thought that the big 3, 4, 5, 6 or whatever they are in any given year should be encouraged to join a Euro Super League, but knowing that if they do that there is no fallback position for them in the English League. As pointed out elsewhere the supporters of all the likely teams in a...

Before the Bournemouth game there were plenty on here that thought they weren't very good. On paper we should get beat by Brentford too, but as the old saying goes 'football isn't played on paper', and football being the game it is means we are not without a chance.

On a wider note, savour those times with your kids. I know it can sometimes be a chore taking them training, helping put up nets or standing freezing cold or wet on the touchline somewhere, but you will get so many memories and stories to share.

I pointed out in the Summer that Drysdale has all the attributes to be a holding midfield player (more so than Dabo :)) so I will be interested to see how he gets on if they persevere with him in a midfield role.

My son played for the Eagles up until he was 16, and they played at Nico. Utd didn't play at Nico, not at that time anyway.

I think I'm with a few on here. Only really get into international games come the finals, and even then not like I used to. In the days of 16 team tournaments I would watch every single game, whoever was playing, but not anymore. Don't make any effort to watch any qualifying games or friendlies...

It seems obvious, but I presume you have reported him to the Police?

But for a good spell when he linked well with Enobakhare, Hiwula wouldn't be remembered too fondly by our fans. He had talent, but missed an awful lot of sitters and also went hiding far too often for my liking.

It would be pointless and hypocritical for them to point the finger at Labour when they've been in cahoots with them the entire time.

I don't think you've read the original question. The OP made it very clear that we are judging players on their time with us and not their careers before or after. Short though his stay might have been Wise's impact on the team was huge and he was just the sort of player our team could do with...

100% agree on this

I get it when its at the end of the season and you're looking at the last half dozen or so fixtures, but there really is no point at looking ahead of ourselves right now when we really have little idea of what lies in store forus or the majority of the teams in this league.

We've played 4 games. What's the point looking 12 games ahead? I hate this kind of thread, because if its on the back of a loss its all doom and gloom, while if its on the back of a win then we will win them all, everything is knee jerk. Look at the pre match predictions before the Bournemouth...
