Frank saw enough of Sheaf/Eccles/Torp the other day and has just registered himself to be available for this one.
Imagine that, a goalscoring midfielder that can do more than pass it back to the centre backs.
Have we signed anyone yet???

Going around Cambridge. Looking forward to visiting history of Computing museum as started in that as a 16 year old, a long time ago. Then look around Centre and University.Perhaps consider having a look around Cambridge tomorrow instead?
Serious question PVA.....
Do you think they're coached that way or that they play to the limit of their ability and thought process?
I've not been able to go and watch us home and away since early October last year and will be out of action for most of this year so I watch us on the TV and I just get so mad and I get so angry at the pitiful performances I'm seeing.
I don't know how the SBA stomach it week in week out.
Spot on PVA.I don't know really, I think it's a combination of things...
- Distinct lack of movement from forward players
- Bassette not a target man or able to really take the ball into feet
- Moving the ball far too slowly
- None of our midfielders are able or willing to pick the ball up on the half turn and drive forwards with it
Teams have worked out they just need to sit in a low block against us and we can't break it down, and they just have to wait for the defensive howler at the other end to nick a goal or two

All these bogey teams really get up my nose.There cannot be another side in the whole football league that has as many bogey teams as we do.
Going forward, maybe. At least his England teams could defend.So much like Southgate’s England
Sort of but i suppose our 3 (and you could include Burnley too) are teams regularly around our level who you'd expect to beat occasionally. Its almost worth it just to have Sunderland on the other list though, makes them fume!To be fair... Aren't Norwich, Preston & Swansea counteracted by Sunderland, Barnsley & Wycombe.
Just buggered that the league is 3-1 against us!
Don't nose which one to pick as my worst bogey teamAll these bogey teams really get up my nose.
just seen an injury update so looks like its on its way!Is the club having a press conference today? Normally see it by now?
Quite like that actually. Think Rudoni and Torp would compliment each other well in this formation.Without EMC and Wright 433 looks impotent. We need to go 4-2-2-2 with Simms and the Hound up top and bypass our midfield which is currently frustratingly ineffective at effecting games from out wide.
Dovin
MVE Lati Kitching Bidwell
Eccles Sheaf
Rudoni Torp
Bassette Simms
Results vs Norwich while Fadz was at the clubUnless we sort out our defending we will ship goals at Norwich. We definately miss a Mc.Fazdean type to keep them organised and in their rightfull position. I saw Thomas get pulled out wide yesterday exposing the middle. Someones not doing their job right. Defensive midfielders also not back helping out enough.

Against my better judgement I'm going to this as I've never been to Norwich.
Leaving the house before 6 tomorrow as my local train service keeps cancelling trains due to the rest day working issue. Don't get back to Manchester until 2342.
Hard to see us getting anything at this point, but Norwich aren't as good as previous sides they've had, so hope springs eternal!
Wouldn't it be terrible if my train was cancelled!Best of luck FP, hope I'm wrong but think train travel over the weekend might be pretty challenging.
Trained today by the looks of it (club latest instagram post)Is Sakamoto definitely injured?
OK good. I don't think he's had a great season like most of them but that's the last thing we need.Trained today by the looks of it (club latest instagram post)
The decline in the form of MVE as much about Tats as him.
Repeating myself but yet again on Wednesday MVE declined to go right because he could see Tats hugging the line with a man on him so MVE did the smart if unspectacular thing and turned inward to at least retain possession. Tats movement off the ball is a contributory factor. He needs to take the ball 10 yards in so there is space for MVE to overlap. The injury to Tats could be a blessing in disguise. The Championship's coaching staff and defenders have got Tats' number.
Rudoni & Bidwell have been much more successful at engineering space for one another. Unsurprisingly midfield funnel the ball that way. But then we come predictable....
Think some posters have been a bit harsh on Tats personally. Over the last couple of months (13 games I think), he's got 3 goals and 3 assists. His assists in particular have been superb quality. Roll that out over a season and I'd snap you hand off for our wingers to be hitting those figures. He probably has been more tightly marked but think he's done a bit better than people are giving him credit at the minute. 2nd half at Cardiff I thought he was the only one who managed to drift in and get between the lines to actually offer any threat.The decline in the form of MVE as much about Tats as him.

He makes up part of our best front 3 which in my opinion will prove to be EMC, Wright, Sakamoto. I do wish we'd invested in another right sided forward though rather than stocking up on central strikers.Think some posters have been a bit harsh on Tats personally.
