...I should add that Dijksteel had a better game. He seems much more comfortable at right back where he doesn't need to get forward and support the at...
@original-fat-bob I wouldn't say that it was a particularly good performance but for me the main positive is that they played as if they didn't real...
@original-fat-bob Nothing wrong with those two signings. utb
I think that the idea of putting Tavernier at left back is an elegant solution that immediately creates a potentially exciting combo with Jones and ma...
What’s happened to McNair?
Hard to pick a formation but with Bola not fit it’s the team that we would all expect and an impressive bench. It doesn’t look like a back four beca...
Great intro @ofb According to the report in the Gazette, Coventry play with wingbacks, two men up front with one behind and a deep-lying Brazilian p...
@original-fat-bob I couldn’t agree more. How can the FA be going after him for something that he posted so long ago when he was just a fourteen year...
@k-p-in-spain you’re probably right but it feels like the same universe.
@ken There’s always the Solheim cup as well this weekend. I have to admit that I get more fun out of watching the top women because they hit it abou...
It’s all very well for the Gazette to put up lists of free agents as if it was some kind of footballer discount supermarket but why should we think th...
@original-fat-bob perfect. so do we actually know what has happened. Has he gone? By the way, I have a good friend who is a fanatical Ipswich su...
I think @deleriad sums it up pretty well. Reading the Gazette's summing up of the window, they do make good point in underlining the clear split betw...
@original-fat-bob totally agree. He is a young player who can fill in various positions at a reasonably low cost. Maybe, like Coulson, Warnock just ...
@original-fat-bob Fingers crossed.
@original-fat-bob just saw this online. Hope that it’s not true “…..the latest in a string of Rennes players set to leave the club according to Ou...
@werdermouth i think that the viewer brings their inbuilt predilection for one position or the other and adapts the facts to fit this. I tend to the...
I hope it’s true 🙂 but on a serious note, I’d like to see MFC have a serious go at building a strong women’s team. They do so much in the community a...
....presumably with a few bottles of champagne. I'm not sure what Teesside has to offer to compare with Reims. UTB
@andy-r you may be right about the release clause but either way it was an excellent piece of business for the club and I remember that there were p...
How much did we pay Villa for Traore? I’ve never seen the figure confirmed only the 14 million release clause. utb
@jarkko Fair point. If he is back healthy and training properly then it is less of a risk. It would be similar to picking up Watmore or Bamba. Maybe...
@original-fat-bob quite right. No point getting in an injury risk just to fill up the numbers. Shame that we didn't pick up Adam Reach. He'd have do...
The other important piece of the puzzle is the Academy. If they can keep on creating players and generating transfer income we will have the broadest ...
You're right because something much better was close and could so easily have been achieved. Throwing it away with poor defending and an inability to ...
I think that you are absolutely right about Howson and McNair. For some reason, they just don’t gel in midfield - maybe too much man-to-man marking - ...
@original-fat-bob thanks for that. I honestly believe that our academy will be one of the key contributors to the health of the club over the next f...
@jarkko i had the same feeling as I sat in Sydney and watched the Boro match live, switching to the test match at half-time with all the Premier Lea...
That wasn’t a great result to wake up to. Nine changes suggests that NW wasn’t taking any risks with any key players. It wouldn’t surprise me if Morsy...
I honestly have no idea how MW will play this one although I am curious to find out what NW's formation will be for games that we are expected to win ...
