Burn after Reading. Reading (A) League 1. Saturday 16th September 2023. 3pm KO
Back to the bread and butter of league football this coming Saturday. Reading still trying to adjust to life in a lower division, points deductions and significant spending reductions so a good time to play them? They've still got some championship quality there and the less said about our last meet...

Re: Tonight's Football
Meh. It wasn't good, but it was a truly awful pitch, they're not a bad side (and obviously were mega pumped). Already basically qualified, it's a perfectly fine point. Agree that it's tough to see how Henderson and Maguire are still in there. Chilwell is an excellent player. The Saudi Government wi...

Re: RWC 2023
So for the novice here - how come ours was a red and theirs wasn't? Both seemed to have an element of accidental contact Over complicated, because if you look at the two, Carreras looked more out of control than Curry. Difference was Carreras contacted a couple of other places prior to the yed. Che...

Poor lad - from such an innocuous incident too.

Re: The Champions Go Again! FLT at Home v Salford Sept 5th, 7:45
That's true re Dan. I noticed it particularly on Saturday but again last night, he doesn't look like a player who's trying too hard or chasing lost causes, which is what I'd expect from someone trying to force their way into contention. The movement from the midfield in the 1st half was great to se...

Re: The Champions Go Again! FLT at Home v Salford Sept 5th, 7:45
Enjoyed that. Should have been 5 up at half time, one of the most one sided half's of football at the Reebok that I can remember. 2nd half was more us, lots of great openings and opportunities but very few shots and several poor choices and touches around the box. I've been willing Dan to come good ...

Re: Snog, Marry, Avoid: Summer 2023 Transfer Window
It's highly likely to have cost us isn't it? Standard procedure is to pay up the contract for a released player who hasn't requested a transfer. Mutual agreement may mean, we've only paid a proportion of the wages and bonuses that were due.

Fleetwood sack Scott Brown. Glad I wasn't the one to tell him. :lol: Odd decision. He's brought several players in this summer. Since yer man was sent down there have been concerns regarding the clubs finances and sustainability. Paying up the contract of a bloke,who on the face of it, was doing a ...

Re: When is a Derby not a Derby? Home v The Rams Sept 2nd, 3-o'clock.
Nobody wants us shooting every time we're close to the box but we'll not score many without getting a few more off than we are doing. We're getting plenty off, Harry – we're averaging 16 efforts per league game, and lest anyone think that was toploaded in the opening cakewalks, we had 21 against Wi...

Re: When is a Derby not a Derby? Home v The Rams Sept 2nd, 3-o'clock.
Despite all the possession, them being down to 10 and us frequently getting into good areas, we just didn't work their sub keeper enough. A couple of soft shots from Thomasson and he have an actual shot to save in that 2nd half? I get that crosses into the box against a large, physical, well drille...

And without wishing to sound like a negative nelly - Josh Sheehan was outstanding, in fact the midfield 3 were all on it today.

Re: When is a Derby not a Derby? Home v The Rams Sept 2nd, 3-o'clock.
Lovely 3 points but the same concerns for me. A really good side would have scored 3 or 4 today and made for a far more chilled 8 minutes of injury time.

Re: Snog, Marry, Avoid: Summer 2023 Transfer Window
Hmmm depends on the fee but he's clearly talented. Given we spent 300k on Dan, I'd rather Shola for that money! And with CMG he'd give us the option of going 343. Aye, it was the Dan fee I had in mind. I'm willing the lad to come good for us and repay Evatts faith in him but that 300k, absolute pea...

Re: When is a Derby not a Derby? Home v The Rams Sept 2nd, 3-o'clock.
Well yeah. I don’t like it when Evatt starts with the defensive noises. It shows he believes we are struggling. And PPG at this stage can vary wildly. The stuff about win percentages too is also a bit ‘pointless’ as I mean he’s managed Bolton at the lowest level and only shares that accolade with P...

Re: Snog, Marry, Avoid: Summer 2023 Transfer Window
Apparently we've turned down a deal for Shoretire to return (on a permanent), I think we didn’t like the fee. I wouldn't be averse to him returning, but it's not a priority position right now. A freebie with say 25-50% sell on fee, I could go for but any kind of fee would put me off. Particularly, ...
