New contracts have been offered to defenders Cedric Kipre and Kyle Bartley as well as midfielder Alex M...

I will back them every game. Doesn't mean I won't "have a view" between matches.

Of course. We’ve all served enough time to have an opinion, and I’ll defend the right to do so, even if to me that opinion is literally as well as nominatively insane

Lovely to get served this ad TODAY on the smoking hole where Twitter used to be . IMG_6807.jpeg . Of the many things I don’t understand about the modern world, near the top is why the juddering arse-bags football-adjacent companies pay to serve outdated content Maybe it’s legacy and they’re served u...

If he stays, I will back him and the club as I always do and hope for the best.. but deep down I know that's a dream as my heart tells me failure. But I will support no matter what. Its my team. Damn right, my friend. It's my team no matter who's in the dug-out - whether I like them or not. It's my...

How did it work out for Sunderland when they sacked their manager this season?

These things can go either way.

Oh sure, on “entitled fans” that’s a cross in both boxes

Tangent - IE is currently 7/2 third favourite for the Birmingham job... Interesting link. Job very suited for him in that they should really win the league this season - good players, money, big club, room to grow. Job very not suited for him in that it’s been a very unstable club - revolving manag...

Yep. Pep might well have made a change. Upsetting for the subbed lad(s) but it’s a team game. The not-so-secret secret with Pep is he doesn't do it alone. People like Dunn have a huge influence on how City set up game to game and what they target. Does Evatt have those people around him? We can see...

Quite. His to-do list is considerable. If he doesn’t fancy it, off he pops.

Which is not to say “rip it up and start again” or that he’s a hopeless cause. But there’s a big job on.

What I keep coming back to is he refused to change it at half time. feck me if that wasn’t the time to go all Bruce Rioch when is? Should have put Victor and probably Dempsey on for jones and Sheehan and made them think. But we did not. We said ‘do plan a better’. Arghhhhhhhhhhh! Tactically the gam...

Indeed, which is why (like I said) we need balance in both formation and personnel. Last two seasons we’ve moved the dial from “good defence but attack not good enough” to “(intermittently) good attack but defence not good enough”. Does a back four fix that? Might depend who’s in it.

On another topic du jour - I would not be confident of top two if our RWB options are Cogz, Matheson, Jones. If we go back four, maybe (although we’d need a tall LB as none of those are grrrrrreat in the air). Iredale Yep, decent for that, but then that’s four “defenders” rather than three. Say we ...

Totals (goals scored, goals conceded) and averages (PPDA etc) will always be generalised. As you say, one-offs can be different - IF the manager has flexibility. Over the last two years we have got better at being different teams on different occasions - home to low blocks, away to big nasty teams. ...

Two teams. Oxford pressed well but we didn’t ask any different questions. They could have done it for hours on end.

Looking across at ours and WW's polls. I think the tally whilst strongly against, as you'd expect maybe, after Saturday has absolutely narrowed but is still roughly 50/50. 115 for go and 114 stay, across the two. The arguments for and against are pretty similar, probably as you'd expect, but I just...

Also interesting is Luke Matheson on the senior retained list, with Evatt having said he will play a part next season in previous pressers.

Would require a squad place.

Same applies to Conor Carty, so we’ll see.

Oxford will have to announce theirs today too.

Sarcevic has had his say on his departure. These failings out happen but if what he says is true…. He also said he didn't dance around and sing about Bolton, but he's on camera doing it. Why would anyone believe a word of the rest of it? https://www.theboltonnews.co.uk/sport/24336666.ex-bolton-wand...

Evatt confirms what we knew really: “It is going to be difficult to sign Paris now we are stuck in League One. That is how it is. We are thankful for him, thankful for what he has achieved this season, and we wish him well.”
