Re: Burn after Reading. Reading (A) League 1. Saturday 16th September 2023. 3pm KO

Two subs were made at the 75th minute that killed the game. Jerome and Iredale. I wouldnt say Jerome is at fault as he was brought on to be the unit up top with Charles for a "tired" player. Iredale needs to find a position and stick to it. He isn't a utility player. The goals all started from his ...

Re: The Champions Go Again! FLT at Home v Salford Sept 5th, 7:45

Took control early over an inferior opponent then went into cruise management. Loved the way we dominated in midfield where Morely and Maghoma in particular dominated. Evatt can make Maghoma a better player by helping him to not panic when trying to shoot near or in the 18 yrd. box, and also teachin...

Re: When is a Derby not a Derby? Home v The Rams Sept 2nd, 3-o'clock.

I said we would play well against Derby and we did. We are a good side. However, we need another Thomasson in the team. It is clear that when he comes off, the middle gets soft. A lot on here are not giving him the credit for the role he plays, only recognizing when he makes a bad pass. His work rat...

Re: When is a Derby not a Derby? Home v The Rams Sept 2nd, 3-o'clock.

Having watched the full replay of the game against Middlesbrough I expect us to give a very good account of ourselves tomorrow. We do have a good team. Our major weakness right now is our defense which is shown up when teams attack us. If we play Toal with Forrester and one of Jones/Iredale we shoul...

Re: A Storm Brewing. Burton Albion V Bolton, Saturday Aug 26th 3 0'Clock,.

Ok So, name me a keeper.and RWB who we could have signed (affordable/attainable). Genuine question - who out there could we have signed that wouldn't be have satisfied the hunger for improvement,but we chose not to and lost out on?

Re: A Storm Brewing. Burton Albion V Bolton, Saturday Aug 26th 3 0'Clock,.

Got a result away from home. Game could have gone either way. Liked the way we took over the game in the second half overcoming the loss of our Captain and conceding at the start of it. Focusing on the positives. Good goal Charles. Our wingbacks, Maghoma and even Jerome when he came on did well. My ...

Re: Match Thread: Pasties and Pies - A Tasty affair! Bolton v Wigan (H) - Saturday 19th Aug / 12.30

I was away thank feck, and no way I'm putting myself through that. Sounds dreadful. But we're two points up on last season, which is 0.5 PPG, which is an extra 23 points over a season, which is 104 points and Champions. Hoorah! Nice Stats. But we lost the first big test.

Re: Match Thread: Pasties and Pies - A Tasty affair! Bolton v Wigan (H) - Saturday 19th Aug / 12.30

I looked forward to this game to see if we could handle the top teams in the Division, those who will come and not lie down. We failed last season, and we have again failed. It is a mad man who expects a different result from the same thing. Our team is basically the same but tactically I hope we wo...

Re: Match Thread: Pasties and Pies - A Tasty affair! Bolton v Wigan (H) - Saturday 19th Aug / 12.30

We have started well against mid-table opposition so far. This game is against a relegated Championship team and our first real test as to where we are. Last season we struggled against the top four teams in L1. I look forward to this game and hope we will be able to prove that we are a real top 2 a...

" But I tell you the truth, no prophet is accepted in his own hometown. " - The Bible. clearly others see Thomason's value and are prepared to pay for it. I am with Ghost and Insane on this one.

I hope GT stays. He has improved every season, looks stronger this season and is a leader when he is on the field. Best player during our pre-season and is our only midfielder who has accurate long range passing vision with a work rate better than most. I struggle to see which other of our midfield ...

Re: Wanderers v Cheltenham (A) 12 August - Are we up for the Gold Cup?

Dominant win. Loved the way Ade played. He was impressive and linked the team up well as the point person up front. Iredale was strong and solid too. Charles looks like he will score another 20 this season. Can we go the season unbeaten?

I'd rip their legs off. I love his vibe and he's a fine squad player but I'm not convinced he's even a league one player. Cash in hand? Cheers.
I hope City believes you Pru and go look elsewhere.

Re: Can we be Imp-erious this season? Lincoln, H, 05/08

Excellent start. The team looked very settled, knew how Evatt wanted to play and played well. Positives: - Both wing-backs played well and were a threat unlike last year where the threat was only from the right - Scored 2 from set-plays. Hats off to the coaching team for finally seeing the importanc...

Re: Pre-season 2023-24

I think with some of the comments IE has made recently I wonder if he's either challenging Sads to focus on being a wingback OR he thinks that Sads can be that elusive attacking mid we need? It does read like a "redemption" opportunity... Its funny how we all see things different. I read Evatts com...

Re: Snog, Marry, Avoid: Summer 2023 Transfer Window

Underwhelmed .... at this point I am nowhere near that feeling as I have no idea how good or bad our signings are until I see them play. What I do know is that we have signed players who seem to be capable and we have paid fees for them rather than depend on freebie. That, in and of itself, is a big...

Re: Snog, Marry, Avoid: Summer 2023 Transfer Window

The final pieces of our transfer puzzle that I am looking forward to would be the replacements for Lee and Kachunga. Two strong runners from midfield are needed, one who is more attacking, and one who is physically strong/dominant. It looks to me that a couple may also leave us in this window. My be...

Re: Snog, Marry, Avoid: Summer 2023 Transfer Window

We complained that we were poor at set pieces, both attacking and defending last couple of seasons, missing the Beaver twins. Evatt says he wants to fix that. We were minutes away from going into oblivion after Sam and Eddie broke the bank to get us into the Premiere League. We had joy but we almost...
