Abrefa looking well out of his depth today. Part of player development. No wonder we started the season so poorly with a group of players similarly inexperienced. There's definitely something there. Their left winger is giving everyone problems down that flank. He's getting stuck in well. Good phys...
Out of interest why do you think it has been so poor? Is it the manager/coaching, the ability of our players or the quality of the opposition? Probably anyone any good gets used in the u21s. Same will apply with our opponents. Seems unlikely for, for example, Southampton, who are top 4 Championship.
Kelvin v Cambridge. Yeah, same. The shot itself is on a par with a lot of the best strikes. What makes it is the first touch from a crisp pass that creates the space to make shot, catching the defence unawares. Beautiful. Wing vs Port Vale second, because he's so far out and being challenged. Azeez...
Disgraceful if no consultation. And if you remove replays, I think where there is a side in a lower division against a side in a higher one, the lower division side.should get to choose whether they play home or away. So they actually improve their chance of a big pay day if they want it. Tbh, I'd r...
That's how I see it as well. This, plus getting the Season Ticket process started early, are positive steps imo. Or Dai squeezing out every penny into his pocket while he still can ub Wasn't some guy from the club (Tim Fitzpatrick?) on a pod recently and confirmed that Dai is not taking money out o...
I wouldn't read anything into it. Compass/Levy contract ran out end of this season and was always going to change regardless. Whilst true, I also very much doubt that any catering company knowing the issues with payment Compass have experienced would enter into and happily announce a partnership wi...
I'm also hopeful on the takeover. They said up to 2 months to completion, but that may have partly been driven by uncertainty about our L1 status which is now secure. Plus, completion is the very end, but we'd hear about contracts being exchanged at least a week or so before, which really is the po...
The next month is going to be super boring isn’t it. Nothing to play for other than pride and momentum to take into next season in the remaining two games. Contract negotiations and releases likely mostly on hold for the takeover. Blackout on takeover info until its done or falls through. Speculatio...
Might be in their interest to drag things out until the season changeover if that was the case then we start with -12 in League One I assume instead of starting on 0 in League Two. Not sure which is worse though - League 2 on 0 points may be an immediate return to L1 but L1 on -12 may be a horrible...
Would add the first season under Pardew to this after we got promoted, finished 4th and lost in the playoffs to Wolves. I quite enjoyed the 2008/9 season. If we’d beaten Brum in that final home game we’d have got automatic promotion, as we had a superior goal difference. I went to the game at St An...
Would caveat that with Terry the Taxis tenure The season actually went ok until about Xmas, and then he left about a month before the end of the season. So it was only really two months of shit with him. One of the last matches I went to before moving up to Leeds was the 6-0 thrashing we got away a...
Amen to both of those. I would say that the last ~10 years in the Championship and that PL relegation were the worst I've seen the club in all ways. Worse than the relegation fights in Division One under Jim & Mick and Bullivant and Burns. Worse than the dissappointment and struggle of Burns in...
