Well here's a funny thing. Win tomorrow and after 10 games we'll be ahead of where we were last season with 11 points from 10 games versus 10 points f...
A little thing. Listening to Coburn's interview he mentions that he works on that pass Crooks' delivered to him for the goal "every day in training." ...
@pedro Seems a reasonable assumption. To an extent, Carrick got unlucky. As well as losing the loanees, two of his most senior pros, Howson and ...
@k-p-in-spain Exactly. Sunderland, knocked out in the play-off semi-finals. Lost their totemic goal scorer, all their key loan players. Recruited ch...
Error is too strong. Poor, sure. I think he may have been caught out a little and slow to react. I get the impression the whole Bradford team were may...
@exmil he's had 2 bookings in the cup which are counted separately.
Gazette has an update about injuries. RVDB out, Crooks suspended. Smith maybe still recovering Bangura out. Forss out. Greenwood cup-tied We are ...
@powmillnaemore Crooks is a big unit but not well-balanced which makes him easy to knock off the ball. I think that's what make so clumsy and why h...
That's a relief. Two games unbeaten. Probably should have won 3-1 just like the old days. Listening then watching the highlights, it's notable that ...
Rumours of an ... odd .. team selection.
@original-fat-bob Agreed. I am really enjoying all the different takes by thread openers. A lot more than I am enjoying the football. I'll get a ...
Back late yesterday so not much to add other than to add my sorrow at the news about Ken. As someone who works in palliative care, I am well aware tha...
This does feel that it could define Carrick's tenure. Win or draw and we can argue for sticking with the plan. Lose and it's hard to see where Carrick...
Feeling a certain amount of dread about this. On one hand, it's way too early in the season to be making judgements on the other hand we haven't won a...
I saw an interesting thing. During pre-season, Carrick talked about how we were looking at Brighton's tactics. Looks like we spent the pre-season tryi...
I don't see this as likely before Easter. Gibson's sackings have certain patterns. When he thinks the current manager is failing his goals and he ...
Glad I missed that. This is Houston we have a problem territory. Seriously have no idea what we do about this. We can't keep sacking managers so we ...
As they say, the proof of the pudding is in the eating. It does feel like we have come up with a plan and stuck to it. Now it comes down to how good t...
Lot going on. It would be a shame to miss out on Cannon. This time last year, people would have been wary of spending £7m on Archer on the back of a h...
That felt a bit like last season: both the bad and some of the good. Start slow, go behind, things look shaky. Clear our heads, equalise before half...
According to the Gazette, Hayden is not someone we've been interested in. Isaac Hayden, who, despite being offered to Boro, is not believed to be ...
I do think there were two halves to Carrick's spell last season. The first half, Akpom went off like a rocket and no one knew how to handle us. Even t...
That's fair enough. Dieng is a potential upgrade on Steffen. Engel seems fine as a replacement for Giles. We have lost last season's golden boot winne...
Agreed. The other difference this season is that Carrick appears to be on board with developing young players. Thing is, it is really hard to rebui...
I must admit that last summer, when we loaned on in Muniz and loaned out Coburn I really thought that was strange. Muniz had slightly less experience ...
@lenmasterman To be fair to Scott, I think he said in his interview that "his job starts now" and to judge him over the coming seasons. We have had a ...
That was basically a Masters degree from Len. It will make the likely pain of watching the game more bearable. Although Carrick deadbats most questi...
In 1993 maybe...
I didn't get to follow the match live so don't really have much to add. It is clear that Howson makes Hackney a much better player. Hackney has been s...
On loss of form and sudden inability to score goals starting at the end of last season.I think it was, and is, multiple things. I get the impression...
