Of course hes not the same as him, but to say that he didn't really threaten RB's last year is disingenous.

I think the argument is the way each player attacks their respective right back , we can agree differently?

The original comment was that not many RB's got bullied by Wright last season.

That has suddenly morphed into the definition of bullying purely being take on's. I argued that Wright had different style of bullying, whether that be physically or through direct running and off the ball movement.

Not many right backs got bullied by haji wright , ffs the lad went down at the slightest touch we can go through loads of match threads where fans were saying he's too weak for a big man ...

He's good at what he's good at , but he didn't bully many right backs ffs

Anyway if EMC has a highlights reel half as good as that after a season with us he will be good value for money.

It made me laugh their commentators saying "maybe Coventry are one to watch this season, this years Ipswich theres always one that comes out of nowhere" as if we have just come up and aren't tipped to be in the playoffs by the bookies

Binks has the attributes to go very far .. he will be robins main man this season at the back and integral to how we work the ball out from the back

Oh bloody hell,best laid plans and all that.
Bus drove straight past us so had to drive and walk but at least no parking fees.
But bloody hell the approach to public transport in this city is pathetic a ring and ride sized job from stagecoach is inadequate,the wyken corridor should have had plenty of takers.
Rant over!

We should try to not get carried away, everton have been awful so far in there preseason. Losses to Salford and a draw with Sligo Rovers and I'm not sure Young and Coleman would make the first 11 at full back for the majority of championship teams.

Looking forward to werder bremen to show this wasn't a misleading performance

Hope we advance in Carling cup for once too. Fancy us to beat alot of the rotated prem sides for sure and possibly make quarters. And from there you never know.

Thoroughly enjoyed that for a pre season game

Rudoni, Allen and Mason-Clark particular standouts

Positive signs with Sheaf, Wright and any potential new signings to be added into that

Everton were v poor. Yes they are behind us in preparation for the new season but for a premier league outfit they were terrible both on and off the ball. I should think their fans are v concerned for the upcoming season.
For us it was an encouraging 90mins. The new keeper looked an improvement with ball at feet (but was not tested at all in terms of saves). EMC and Rudoni produced good work…the latter at times trying a little too hard…but both looked exciting and will produce chances and goals. Allen was unbelievable in terms of energy. Eccles composed first half but faded. The defence, apart from a few moments out of position, looked solid and composed. Great to see Tats back and working both when he was in possession and when he lost it. And Simms’ hold up play was exceptional. All in all a very promising performance.

Dyche will scrap them out of it and they'll finish about 14th/15th (again) imo

Their back four as poor as it looked will look completely different by the time the proper stuff starts and Pickford coming back in is worth 9/10 points to them alone

Thought Calvert-Lewin was appalling mind

Racking my brains on my morning shift...

Is Ashley Young the only active footballer left who played at Highfield Road?
