is leaving Derby County. I thought he was tipped for great things.

Anyone know what has happened to him?

winchester_royal What's he meant to say?

We've been shit, the fans hate us, the players are shit, we expect to lose etc..

FFS, it's called PR, every manager does it.

Just grow up and support the team.

PLUS 1

Back to the Chelsea-style Super 23. Two for each position +1 extra keeper leads to a squad something akin to:- 3xgks Cummings Kelly Bertrand Armstrong Pearce or Cisse Mills Ingi O'Dea Karacan Gunnarsson Howard Matejovsky or Davies Sigurdsson Kebe McAnuff Robson-Kanu (or Matejovsky or Davies) Rasiak...

Looking at the squad list I make that 5 to go in some way or other.

FWIW my five are;

Cisse
Marek
Mooney
J Kelly
Antonio

The Real Sandhurst Royal

Correct GLN I it looked like a BMW X5.

See it in the Bramley area most mornings.

on a black 4 x 4?

I think the time for the Club to be inventive is with the non-away South Stand when the rest of the ground is below capacity.

I think there should be some really good incentives for kids and Adults to fill this part of the ground.

(CRB checks permitting!)

I assume that Harper and Rosenior will not be able to play against us this season?

Also, why no official news on Brian Howard if we have paid 500k for him? If it is only a loan do we have to wait a week to confirm it?

I know that players like Hunter and Ron Harris were considered dirty in the seventies but I don't believe either would ever have tackled like that?

I can only think that tackling education in the Academies is not happening.

SteveRoyal Most likely Church or Bignall.
However, it doesn't have to be any of them.

Maybe room for 3 strikers on the bench but assumes we player two strikers and no wingers from the start.

With Raziak coming in, which two of Bignall, Long, Church, Mooney or Noel Hunt will be sent out on loan?

Can't see BR keeping more than four strikers here.

Interesting to see that the first Reserves home game is in February with all the others away until then.

I reckon BR is trying to protect the pitch.

I think will Ingi will struggle under BR because his weakness is his distribution.

We will keep the ball much better with Mills, Pearce Cisse or Bikey as Centre Backs.

Rosenior might struggle for the same reason.

I think only West Brom can consider themselves strong contenders for promotion and they have a new manager so not guaranteed.

Then you have;

ourselves
Sheff utd
Preston
Cardiff?
swansea?

So lots to be positive about.

I wonder how many extra season tickets we would sell if BR signed Nugent in the next week or so?

I reckon Team Captain will be Ivar with Brynjar as Club Captain and filling in for Ivar till he is fit again.

Third choice will be Alex Pearce.

I think Brynjar will be first choice in midfield this season.

Without doubt the best of the crop is Gylfi Sigurdsson.

Dario Gradi rates him as the best young player he has ever seen at Crewe.

Who better to learn his trade from than Inga.....

Does block Alex Pearce progress though?

the best technically is alex mccarthy but he needs to develop physically.
