Re: Weekend Football

I think they should sue Forest for defamation. These guys are professionals and it's ridiculous to suggest Attwell deliberately made Forest lose. So your view is that he's not biased, just completely incompetent Yep, and he's still one of the best in the country which is why he's a PL official. We'...

Re: The Manager Sack Race/Merry-go-Round

Barnsley sack their manager. Rolling the dice with that action. Only need a new manager bounce for a max of 4 games Could be a masterstroke …. or a disaster Tbf, can't get much worse than looking like no hopers. But the timing is mad. I'm reminded of Coppell and that three game 0-3 stretch around X...

Re: MATCHWATCH : Burton Albion (h)

Disappointing to lose but frankly Burton knew they were close to last chance saloon and to have a team like us roll up, a team who have had an incredibly stressful season but managed to scramble to safety with a game or two to go must have been a real boost. Having said that, if Smith does better w...

Re: Ex Players

The commentator of Stevenage's game at Oxford during the week said that Nesta Guinness-Walker is the great grandson of Sir Alec Guinness. That one passed me by if indeed it was common knowledge in his time here. It was mentioned pretty regularly on here, wasn’t he referred to using some sort of Sta...

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

Same will apply with our opponents. Seems unlikely for, for example, Southampton, who are top 4 Championship. Also, the relatively large number of u21 players who are in our first team squad means more opportunity in the u21s for the better u18s than usual, meaning those left playing u18 are probab...

WestYorksRoyal Does this mean we've reached the stage where all representatives are basically agreed and we just need to get Dai involved to sign it off....?

What could possibly go wrong?

Re: Weekend Football

Those options likely to be some fairly hot water, given they've basically accused the VAR ref of being corrupt. Yeah that's outrageous. Hopefully a huge fine and their club account banned from social media posting. The PGMOL also have some questions to answer if they knowingly used a VAR who suppor...

Re: MATCHWATCH : Burton Albion (h)

Traditional wingers getting crosses in need bodies in the box to be effective. Today, most teams play 3 central midfielders and only 1 up front, as they want to compete for possession. That means the returns simply don't exist on traditional wing play. Of course you could try returning to 4-4-2, bu...

Re: MATCHWATCH : Burton Albion (h)

It's all down to what you want your wingers to do. If you have two strikers who are strong in the air, you want your wingers to play on their 'correct' side and specialise in crossing. But there's not a lot of point in having wingers do that if you don't have bodies in the box to attack those crosse...

Winston Biscuit French media reporting that Cardiff are now suing Nantes for €120M over this as they say losing Sala cost them relegation from the PL

I'd like to see how they think Nantes are liable for that.

Re: Would you lose against Blackpool to deny Oxford the play-offs?

It's win win imo.

Oxford fail to go up, LOL. But if Oxford do go up they get patronised by everyone and given a proper showing up.

Re: MATCHWATCH : Burton Albion (h)

One definite positive. Elliott has really grown into the team when played centrally where it has been blindingly obvious all season he would be best. I had definite doubts he could do it that deep, but he's been good and Wing has covered well at the back. We have an excellent prospect there to give ...

Snowflake Royal Worst thing about that is it means we have to play on that heap of shit next season.


Without meaning to be an ass you implied that you wanted to play at grounds like this

Don't worry, in about the last three years you've never got it, so I'd give up trying.

Re: MATCHWATCH : Burton Albion (h)

It's just too many players without great first touches or short passing trying to overcomplicate stuff too much. And it's obvious the team don't really work much on crossing and attacking crossing. Give us a big, good pitch and an open game and we're a threat to most teams. But we rely too much on s...
