Re: Royals on the Box/Internet Thread



See the tweet at the top. One of the ITKs (who also broke news of Cov and Stoke being televised) is saying that those 4 have been selected.

Re: Rival Watch

How many oxf*rd points clear do we need to be before they'll show more than a 30 second snippet. Bunch of absolute dognonces on Quest.

Re: What has changed so much from last season?

I highly doubt it. Crazy as it may sound but he would be a great fit for somebody like dortmund Oyeh because Dai has a record of letting our most promising players go. Plus would be fairly stupid from Olise to leave at this stage when next year he could well be playing guaranteed Prem football as i...

Re: Opposition fans back from the game

xG can be good, but needs context. For example if a team often goes behind in a game they will take more shots than the average team trying to equal, and if a team sits back a lot after going ahead they won't take many shots, which will result in a lower xG (e.g. Us). It also more takes into account...

Re: BTFT - Blackburn

Joao had the vibe of a schoolteacher getting involved with the year 8's breaktime kick about. He just bullies defenders all day, while being clear minded enough to assist Meite and to not snap at shots but rather to time them. Excellent work rate as well. Made a few crucial interventions in our own ...

For anyone that wants a peruse from just before Joao goal onwards.

Good attempt at a Churchill quote:

Re: MATCHWATCH : Blackburn Rovers (a) sponsored by Paul McShane

Wonder what Birmingham fans make of Morrison looking so good. I mean they practically gave him to us. They were gutted he left, rated him really highly. Yep, even at the time they were in despair at letting him go. Our recruitment post-Gournlay has been incredible. Joao, Ejaria, Laurent, Morrison, ...

Re: MATCHWATCH : Blackburn Rovers (a) sponsored by Paul McShane

Joao is incredible when fit. Semedo seems to not quite be match fit but seems to be very decent and had a great performance tonight. Esteves is the best 18 year old RM in this league, this country and very potentially Europe. He isn't bad at RB. Swift, Ejaria, Semedo fighting over that one CM positi...

Semedo not 100% match fit, but looks like a very tidy hard working player.

Re: MATCHWATCH : Blackburn Rovers (a) sponsored by Paul McShane

Blackburn forum is funny, some of them very reasonable, others supremely confident because they managed to beat up 3 of the 4 worst sides in this division. 1 goal v Watford (Lost) 0 goals v Forest (Lost) 0 goals v Cardiff (Drew) They will be a tough challenge but there's no reason why we shouldn't s...

Re: Rumour - Liam Moore to Celtic

That'll be a fun (and very short) negotiation. Even when we were shite with no immediate prospect of promotion the Dai's weren't exactly prone to flogging our best players.

Re: RUMOUR: Rafael

Since Gourlay left our record at bringing people in, in the transfer market has been excellent. Winter 18/19 (all loans): Ovie, Miazga, Martinez, Baker, Oliveria Oliveira is the closest you could get to a 'failure' out of those five, and he scored 3 goals in 10 games. 19/20: Puscas (£6.75m), Joao (£...

Re: RUMOUR: Rafael

Looking at it, I can't think of a club besides Fulham or West Brom where he'd have a chance of starting. Cynic in me wonders, after Blackett's comments yesterday, if this could be his agent looking for an escape route. What has Blackett said? The former Manchester United defender says one of the at...

Well quest is shit. I mean we all new that anyway, but I was expecting (foolishly) a little more analysis on our game. Can't wait for us to surpass 106 points, at which point they'll give us a whole two minutes of highlights and analysis squeezed between 20 minutes covering Norwich beating Coventry...

Re: Next 5 games are key

We shouldn't lose any of the next 4 games, 8-12 points is the realistic range, gives us a nice lead before the brutal late November schedule drags us back down to earth a bit. Get to 26-28 off of 10, and then using the usual ~90 for promotion, ~73 for 6th we would need 1.278 PPG for 6th (ie. 1/3rd w...

Re: MATCHWATCH : Rotherham United (h) sponsored by a James Harper debut

Esteves in for Holmes. Holmes in for Moore if injured. Puscas for Meite. A win would be great. Bournemouth play Cardiff then Watford (6th) Bristol (3rd) play Swansea (4th) There's a very strong chance that 2nd place will be on 14/15 points come the end of Sunday. This league is all about getting the...

Re: BFIT - Wycombe (H)

Moore was imperious, easily MotM for me.

Given that Joao now has two/three men on him the entire time, maybe we should start Puscas over Meite, he would do well in the extra space. Can't believe that I'm saying it, but we need to see more of Aluko.
