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...

Re: BTFG Rrro-therrr-hhaaam

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.

Reading wanted ‘more than double’ the £3.5m :lol: that Sheffield United offered for John Swift earlier in the summer.


Maths checks out. £35m is more than double £3.5m.

Re: Sone Aluko

He's been a really expensive disaster so far. Nothing against him personally, he changed employers for a good payrise (like every single one of us would do), hasn't moaned at being exiled, and seemingly still tries in training. What's done is done, hopefully with the new management (which unlike Gom...

Re: BF I follow Barnsley

The only other thing I’ll add is that both Derby and Barnsley showed nothing up top, no presence at all. Cardiff will be a real test for our defence next week with Kieffer Moore and with Watford the following week; there’s some far tougher games ahead. Yep Moore will be a handful. Offsetting that, ...

Re: BF I follow Barnsley

I'm not convinced that Meite is very good technically at football. He doesn't have an outstanding touch, shooting can be streaky, and he doesn't link up amazingly with teammates. What he does do very well is showing up when we need him, and he absolutely cares an awful lot about doing well (for this...

Re: MATCHWATCH : Derby County (a) sponsored by things to come

A few observations. The first XI is top 6 quality. We've been performing as less than the sum of the parts for a long time. Joao is the single most pivotal player we've had in recent memory. Not since before the glory days have we been so reliant on one player to get our game to work. Worth every pe...
