    Standing Still or Falling Behind?

    When people talk about standing still I think it is more about how you get worked out tactically and the environment gets stale Top level examples but Pep & Fergie have both said even when you’ve reached the top you need to refresh the squad We haven’t even reached the top yet so ideally the...

    Strange dropping that on a CB when they already have the 3 best in the league (according to their fans only)

    Transfer Rumour MVE to Wolfsburg

    We paid £3.4m for MvE (4m Euros) so will have doubled our money with the add-ons Probably hoped for more at the start of the window but it is not bad business - especially as we got KKH in for the same price we paid for him The cycle repeats with an English player who usually go for larger sums

    Who Else Is Nervous?

    Can’t get nervous about something you can’t influence… I’m just glad the fuckers back And if we lose it doesn’t matter - we lost more than 1/3 of our matches last season and made it

    Where will we finish

    Anywhere between 5th-9th for me depending on luck, injuries, the windows (now & Jan), and how other teams do Last year league was not great outside of the top 3 - this year will be a lower ceiling but higher floor which could prove harder to make the play offs

    Transfer Rumour MVE to Wolfsburg

    Ornstein was saying the other day that most Transfers involve an illegal approach to the player but no club ever reports it (bar Forest) as they’re all doing it

    What would you be happy with?

    4 weeks left - what is the minimum number of signings (& their positions) needed to make you happy with the window? I'll start... 2 signings - CB & RW

    Match Thread Coventry City v St Pauli (Friendly) - Sat 2 Aug 3:30 PM

    I kinda thought that our one dimensional forward play last season was down to Lampard not having enough time to fully implement his methods I’ll be disappointed in the coaching team if this is the only way we continue to attack all season

    Transfer Rumour 25/26 Summer Transfer Window

    Only one team in the last 10 years has finished below 4th and got promoted You get 80+ points in the league and you significantly increase the chance of promotion We’ve not even hit 70…

    Championship thread 25/26!

    Tbf while it is bizarre I guess its a case of a club that don't need to be "smart" and generate revenue through player trading

    Championship thread 25/26!

    They are basically in the situation we were in 2 seasons ago with a better base squad. Will be very interesting to see how they get on

    Championship thread 25/26!

    It will work to achieve short-term aims but you could definitely build towards something stronger next year with smarter signings These players are all approaching the hill on huge contracts & they're already having issues moving on squad players as they know they won't get it as good anywhere else
