I was just about to pay for a stream to NOWTV when I got called away by my wife's company. By the time I got back we were 2 goals and 1 man down. I gu...

@stircrazy Carrick has shown that he is ruthless. If your standards drop you get dropped. It is the other side of supportive management. I think Jo...

This feels a bit like the start of the next step for the Carrick Evolution. We've had an initial honeymoon but the last 4 matches have been 2 wins and...

@john-richardson Sorry to hear about Barney. People who don't live with pets don't understand just how huge a part of your life they become.

All of Chuba's Championship goals this season. Every one is either in or around the 6 yard box.

@ken sorry to hear your news.

Could have been worse; it could have been a draw 😀 Thought Carrick spoke well in the press conference afterwards. Fundamentally he wants us to play...

Thanks to OFB for another excellent starter for 10. It's a shame that these days the 3rd round of the FA Cup feels like an interruption of the real bu...

I disagree. Archer's track record at this point in his career is roughly the same as Bamford when we took him on loan. Bamford had 1/2 a season at ...

Yes, the whole article seems worryingly sensible. Loan because he should make an immediate impact and not saddling us with an expensive striker who bl...

That was a game that I think we won despite Carrick's changes, not because of them. Bottom line though is that we won. It also means that we now have ...

I had a look back because I remembered saying this after the Barnsley match At that point, Akpom had scored in both his first matches for us and l...

Great opener from OFB. Definitely a 2 mince-pie offering. This feels like the start of what could be a season-defining run of games. Of the next 5 g...

@forever-dormo There was an interesting piece recently about the first football analyst (forget his name). He used to cover matches and record passes,...

I disagree. If we want to play the ball out from the back then the only way we get good at it is doing it. It may look more risky but kicking long int...

@jarkko good spot re the Chuba article. It shows what we see with our eyes; he likes to come deep and drift out to the right then play really good pas...

I didn't get to follow the match live so only have reports to go by. That said, the result is hardly surprising and definitely not a reason for panic....

I used to think that at first but have come around to a different way of thinking. To get promoted through the play-offs you have to both show consist...

According to Craig John's in the Gazette Q&A we're seriously interested in Ross Stewart and Dan Barlaser but not Cody Drameh. Teamtalk seems to...

@jarkko Agree that we don't have a good replacement for McGree. Watmore has been playing there but then we don't have someone to step in for Jones as ...

I'll have whatever OFB's having. Not much to say about this really. We know what Carrick's 1st team is and we know who his back-ups are. We know wha...

I agreed at the time. Southgate was broken by that point. Looking back, he made a far better job of keeping us up than he had any right to do. All the...

@jarkko Possibly Bamford would have been near the top under AK? On current form you would have to rate Akpom as close to the best in the league. Wha...

Related to transfers, I see that the line is that we're not expecting any new coaching staff after the appointment of Aaron Danks. Seems likely that w...

Wasn't able to follow the match live so not much to say about it other than being pleased with the result. Although I have not been watching the wo...

Today's team Does look as though we have a remarkably consistent 1st 18. Hoppe is clearly 5th choice striker. With Clarke and Bola injured we're ...

I stated that I wouldn't watch it and I haven't. I have kept aware of the results and it has been a shame to miss what sound like some really good gam...

Thanks, Andy. Part 2 of the Carrick Evolution starts. I suspect that we'll see the normal 1st 11 with McGree on the bench and Watmore starting. As m...

... after the best night’s sleep I’ve had in weeks I was up early this morning and whilst having breakfast watched a video recording of The Riverside ...
