Exactly this, just as in cricket when they use umpires/referees call ,for any marginal decision, they use the umpire's decision. It works in cricket, the players now accept, and it is virtually never contoversial.

Binks ticks a lot of boxes for me as well. Tall, strong got a sweet left foot looks comfortable on the ball. Considering we have conceded plenty of goals lately I feel he has been unlucky not to start any games for weeks. I imagine the fees paid for other defenders and the fact he is a loan...

What I have never understood why football doesn't use the cricket system which works perfectly well, is clear and understood and is rarely controversial. If a LBW is appealed by the batsman or the bowling side, the process is clear and accepted by both sides. If the ball is clearly hitting the...

Exactly this some fans seemingly wanted him gone before he had even kicked a ball in anger for us this season. They just assumed he would be hopeless because he had been out injured for 12 months. Remember years ago lots of fans thought Maddison and Wilson would never make the big time and yet...

Indeed, watched most of their game against Leeds, ok it's a big local derby for them, but they played with a high intensity and made it really difficult for Leeds to make their better-quality count.

People who think Maguire is a great/good player just need to type Harry Maguire comedy into YouTube and watch some of the countless videos of the calamitous errors he has made over the years. He makes Lee Burge look a model of consistency. Or listen to Man Utd fans opinions of him, most...

To be fair both Simms and Hadji had poor starts to their career here. Simms recent transformation especially has been nothing short of sensational. He has gone from a player with seemingly, bad control, poor body language, missing gilt edged chances, being knocked off the ball easily, in and...

Leicester then.

Wilson -Not really tested, but another clean sheet. Lati- Decent performance, passing not always perfect. Thomas- Solid not really tested too much. Bidwell-Defensively sound, crossing not the best though. Torp- looks a quality player, shows a great awareness. Takes good set pieces, and always...

I'm not sure the big financial injection you get from promotion is the panacea some people think it is.. Yes your income increases hugely, but so do a teams' outgoings, salary's soar, as do transfer fees asked for. West Brom, Norwich, Watford, Cardiff,, Swansea ,Huddersfield in the Championship...

Football is, or should be all about glory. Winning the FA Cup again will be forever on our honors board. Winning promotion of course would be great, but I doubt it would go on any honors board, unless we go up as champions. If we do get promoted ,after the initial excitement wears off , next...

Collins great save in the 1st minute, but I wish he would catch more and punch less, a modern trait seemingly in today's game. MVE not his best game but like most of the side improved during the game. JDS as most have stated poor defensively in the first 25 minutes or so, but he always seems a...

As with the Gyokeres deal, the old adage of possession being 9/10th of the law, seems to be the case in this deal. When Lisbon wanted Gyokeres they had to agree to our terms or there would be no deal. The P'boro chairmen seemingly made a loan deal back to them a condition for the deal to go...

Ok no worries.

Evander da Silva Ferreira from Portland Timbers 25 years is a rumour apparently doing the rounds, don't know how reliable this is. 10 million rated apparently.

I'm glad I am not the only one to think that.:oops:

Some transfer news of sort, Rob Gurney returns to BBC CWR.

Exactly, the best option would be that we sign 2 to 3 quality players. However the worst option would not be that we sign nobody , the worst option would be that we sign 2 to 3 bang average/ poor players and blow all our budget. It would have been so easy for the club to sign 3/4/5/6 new...

Don't disagree with most of that, but just hope any new signings are difference makers rather than just building even more squad depth. If we sign 3 more players plus the return of Allen and O'Hare shortly, could mean some players could spend weeks with no meaningful game time. The next three...

Exactly this, all fans from every club worldwide naturally get excited at the prospect of a new signing hoping that the player will be the difference maker. Yet 2 of our new signings have yet to figure in the Championship, our 2 new expensive strikers, (early days yes) have hardly set the world...
