I’d stick Whelan in the “unfulfilled potential” rather than overrated. Technically superb and all the attributes to have played for England. Women and booze ruined my chances of playing for the KEGS first team, also.

Would have worked better for him - closer to where lives, for a start.

A very rushed decision by Robins to go to Stoke. Surely he could have held out for a better fit?

I like Plymouth’s new CB who celebrates every tackle he does

Can remember his debut against Man City at home. Swelteringly hot night and he sprayed passes around at will (memory may be playing tricks with me). He had an outrageous attempt at goal - a shot, without any back-lift, which just went wide. This was exciting fodder for someone who had...

Emerson started 111 games in 6 years

Fair dos re Emerson. Don’t remember watching him in too many games, but happy to take the opinion of more seasoned watchers than me. I liked Konjic at the time, but upon reflection his “surging runs” upfield resulted in nothing and often left us exposed at the back.

Which “golden boys” of City players, past and present, do you think have inflated worths? For me - Michael Doyle. Clogger whose penchant for bookings/ sending offs masked his limited ability. To a lesser extent, Dean Emerson always seemed to have got a lot of praise. Was just a teenager in...

People saying Rob Gurney “ruined” the post-match phone in. It’s not the high-mark of Reithian output. It’s a local football phone-in! Try listening to any other regional Beeb footvall ouput and you’ll realise how good you have it in Cov. Whenever I listen, and before it goes out of range...

Agree with this. MVE has been half the player he was without Sakamoto. Our shape on the right has been all over the shop. MVE has definitely looked at more attacking threat, however, since Sakamoto has returned to the starting 11. His crossing, and long range passing, is conversely far better...

That’s the definition of grinding a result out!

They’re going to score soon

I agree, but Van Ewijk in particular looks a bit shot. I love the FA Cup, but I think he needs to sit this one out. Or Tuesday, if not.

The only players that need resting tomorrow are MVE, Bidwell and Rudoni.

“Arse raped”? Fucking hell

Amazed to see the usual voices of doom reappearing

Have worked my way through to the first game I took my then 5 year-old son to. No wonder he has zero interest in football 🫤

I don’t know about that, but whenever I’ve seen the young lad play some of his passing has been pure poetry in motion.

Burnely are a fun watch
