Re: Josh Sims - Confirmed?

I think Sims could be a good signing. As was mentioned several times on the Bolton back from the game thread, we were crying out for proper width as an alternative way to break down the defence once they had scored and locked up the middle of the pitch. Given that Barrow seems the only other effecti...

Re: Favourite signing this window?

I went for Barrow, of the ones I've seen play he has added much needed movement and excitement in the forward part of the pitch.

Also liking the look of Clement, I think he will develop into a classy player.

Re: Best wishes Bobby Convey

It's a shame to hear this news. Like many others I have very fond memories of watching Bobby play for us. To me Bobby Convey and Glenn Little epitomise Steve Coppell's team in the 2005/6 season.

I've probably contacted him seven times in the last five weeks.


Bet he is a right barrel of laughs...clearly not bitter!!


I can visualise the loud sigh and the roll of the eyes as Dave Allison sees Lee Johnson's number come up on his phone yet again :)

Re: BFTG Birmingham

I thought that was quite an improvement on the Ipswich game. A as someone said earlier - quite a fascinating 0-0, and Brum look like a well organised team. Pushing Obita and Gunter up and having Evans sit back into the centre (effectively giving a 3-4-3 shape when going forward) really helped us pro...

1-0 win. Lots of mongs giving helpful advice such as 'forward' when we are retaining possession to see the game out!

Re: Why are "we" booing players keeping the ball?

So we know the style of football Stam wants, a possession based game....whether we like it or not that's the style we are going to play What hacks me off though is our own fans booing when the ball is being played around the back (looking for the opening) - i noticed yesterday that as soon as the f...

Re: CONFIMRED - Joseph Mendes

Last few games Kermorgant was getting clever little flicks to Rackels who was already making the apropriate run before what he was about to do became obvious.

Absolutely not, I've already spent too many seasons screaming at him to pass the ball as he runs like a blinkered cart horse into three opposition defenders.

Yes, yes and yes. For an organsation with the turnover of RFC, it employs precious few people, and it's especiall when they try to implement systems like this that it inevitably shows in places.
