Re: MATCHWATCH : Burnley (h)

One of the very best things that's happened this season. Have a work course all weekend, and was resigned to missing Wrexham (h). Then we get into 3rd round. Options include an attractive tie over the weekend - would have to miss that too. An attractive tie on Friday / Monday - could cope with that,...

Re: MATCHWATCH : Peterborough United (a)

I think Blackman, bar that spell, looked out of his depth whereas Kebe just looked bewildered by the intensity of English football. From once it clicked, he was a different player. Azeez has largely looked bereft of confidence rather than shite and I've not seen too many comments criticising him fo...

Re: The Academy/Development squads watch thread 2015//16

Royals and Racers Jahmari Clarke has joined Woking on a months loan.



Good move that I reckon - provided he gets game time. Woking are going okay so far this season, and JCs not going to get a game here

Is there live streaming for this game? I dont seem to have the option. It's that, or gardening.

Some good suggestions..... worst 11 or most disappointing. If the latter ...

Re: MATCHWATCH : Derby County (h)

Brilliant (much sarcasm). Might as well be midweek and evening. If Derby's great form, and our shocking lack of form weren't enough, then this being on the box must be the final nail in the coffin. Given the irrefutable logic of that argument, 2-0 home win.

Re: Speculation - Armand Gnanduillet

He was dominant against us last year, and really caught the eye. As well as backup for Joao, also cover for Meite, competition for places, physical threat on the bench.

Re: Rumour - Cohen Bramall

My Uncle has coached him when he was younger. Says he is a really good fullback with an accurate tackle. Could have don with him at Luton yesterday. Why do teams seem to cross unchallenged against us, is it the Managers style at fault? In the last few years that's mostly been down to .... Gunter. I...

Re: BFI Follow Huddersfield

This was a test game for Bowen trying new things which is quite wise tbh. BBCRB harp on about the great midfield of Gomes and Rino. Yeah they tackled well but IMO without Ejaria we are missing that flair and threat of danger and instead just have the boring hard tackling unremarkable midfield. Hudd...

Re: BFTG - Bristol City

Should have been all three. A really good performance, mostly.

Gunter. One Job. Stop the cross. Didn't. Repeatedly. Especially as their man of the match had worked off of Blackett.

So should have been three points.

First twenty minutes, I don’t think more than a couple of passes found a hooped shirt: Mostly straight at the opposition or so telegraphed that they obliged by picking up anyway. For them, from their end to ours seemed shorter than for us. Thank the lord for the subs, esp Harriott, otherwise watchi...
