I really like Halilovic. He's come in and is clearly very committed and determined to give his all to our team and club. He seems to be a great character (speaks very good English too) and I suspect will become a great firm crowd favourite. In the immediate aftermath of Crooks' challenge on Southwo...
have to give some serious credit to whoever did the recruitment in the circumstances. watching the team Saturday - Baba was excellent, DD is a class above, Halilovic is decent, TDB a good all rounder and a step above Semedo. Hoilett a useful squad player. Whilst I agree Sangers, a mid table finish w...
I think they'll grow. No real surprise people have stayed away with Covid/being on TV/being away on holiday
Few more wins along the lines of Fulham and Boro and people will start coming back. Genuinely have a pretty exciting team at the moment, esp if we can get Joao back in the mix
In terms of timing, this couldn't really have come at a better time. Imagine if we'd been slapped with six or nine after the Huddersfield game, think we'd feel dead and buried and confidence would be rock bottom. yeah after Hudders or QPR would have been very worrying. We can absorb it now Maybe ge...
Do feel fairly optimistic for this one. Would be nice to have Rino back at least as an extra bench option. Assuming Tetek will recover from cramp, and Hoilett will be ok to start (though I'm still not convinced he offers anything that Puscas doesn't)
It also helped having players who were really comfortable on the ball back there. They over did it a few times, but with midfielders and full backs there, you really can play out fairly comfortably at times. Not with Morrison and Moore. This was so noticeable for me. Obviously at times we took it a...
Not a harsh red card at all. The player went in for the chance to win the ball with his studs raised. That is enough for the referee to deem that dangerous play. You cannot make a tackle etc with your studs showing. Definitely not a red. What could have been a red was Peltier hitting a clothesline ...
Really enjoyed the game. Though we were excellent for 70 mins, sat back a bit too much at the end. Lack of use of Puscas is a bit baffling, assume there must be some injury issue, Generally lots of positives. Defence all excellent, DD could be an superb addition. The attacking midfielders have great...
Yep and it’s insanely hard to become a pro footballer What do you reckon - 50% of boys growing up play football? And of those how many get to do it for a living? And it’s incredible pressure for a young man to take on. Obvs the top level wages of 300k a week and all that are just stupid but 5k week...

hasn't that been the case for about 50 years though? Spain is nearly always Barca, Real and Atletico, Germany Bayern/Dortmund etc. France is a bit random which is quite nice. At least we have a pool of 5 or 6 teams that can win it here
So, in summary - is this all at the door of Ron Gourlay, was it the excessive contracts during his tenure that was the downfall. Owners naïve etc but Gourlay was the one? Gourlay is an employee. Paid to do a job for his masters. His personal opinion has no bearing. I'm sure that he could perform an...
I guess they know about as much as we do and are waiting for the full judgement from the EFL before coming out and fronting it up. I think there should be some sort of dialogue though, at least something addressing the supporters concerns. I’d like to hear from the owner reaffirming his commitment ...
They’ve delivered on an amazing training facility at Bearwood. They have supported the team in every possible aspect. Ticket prices remain among the lowest in the division and they’ve laid on free coach travel for those that wanted it. Naive at times with the advice they‘ve taken but it’s not as ba...
