He clearly knows where the goal is

You wanted them to ask Robins what he likes to eat for dinner?

We don’t know if he’s good enough until we give him a try - put him on to run at their tired legs and play him in behind

The Wagatha Christie documentary is an expert lesson in filibustering, how they managed to pad it into a three-part documentary, I will never know.

Robins comes across very well Sounds like both Sakamoto and Wright have struggled with the move to the UK in their own ways - a lot of time devoted to explaining how hard it is for foreign players to move to a new country The comment about O’Hare putting on weight makes it sound like he may...

Spending ~£7 million on four new CBs and then changing our whole defensive system after 12 games is very encouraging

In which case as others have said, I would just prioritise getting the most central hotel you can afford and get the train down. Your hotel is going to be by far the biggest expense, however you get there - no reason to commit yourself to a hotel in the middle of nowhere just for the sake of...

Any reason why you wouldn’t just get the train all the way there, rather than drive and train?

It unquestionably is an astronomical amount for a team as cash-poor as we are. The kind of money we had available in the summer is not going to come our way again for a long time, it needed to be spent wisely. It’s fair to expect a return from someone as expensive and as well-paid as Wright is.

I think this video makes a mockery of the typical “He knows where the goal is” argument that gets trotted out when people are bigging up strikers they’ve never seen play at a decent level before

For the points, surely

I’m not just talking about yesterday, I’m talking generally about this new moan that “like for like” subs are inherently bad.

A lot of cliches to unpack in the opening paragraph, but tbh I think this team could do with a bit more arrogance and a bit less of an underdog mentality. Gyokeres seemed like a total bastard to play with (and against) whereas Wright and Simms just seem unwilling or unable to be the alpha dog...

A night at the casino where you spend very little and win very little is much better than one where you win very little and spend a fortune.

Well the moaning about “like for like subs” has been going on for a while now. Presumably those people think the subs don’t really count unless every one involves a formation change?

Only if you can get off work around 4pm and don’t mind getting home around 1am.

Great shout. Ended up going to Trabzonspor where he averaged a goal every other game in the Turkish league, which as we all know is an omen of great success in England. Lange signed for Hartlepool a few years later.
