He presumably wouldn’t pick that XI as it couldn’t really fit into a back three. But I do take your point. Reason the new gaffer gets more rope is that he hasn’t ballsed it up too many times… quite the opposite, in terms of results, thankfully. Still plenty room to improve - we can’t give Wrexham o...

And as far as I know Charles is still to score a goal yet.

Macca and Collins have 9 G/A between them since Charles' last appearance here.

Aye. Our last-six form (W5 L1) is the best in the division, including the automatic promotion challengers. It just so happens that those are the six games since Evatt left. (For the record the six before that were, chronologically, WLWLDL.) Yup. The thing is, if Evatt put out that 11 to start the g...

Shite McAtee strikes again! Great result, that.

I've broken my foot and won't be attending tomorrow, possibly longer if I need surgery.

Is the couch suitably comfy for this one, or is it getting its springs replaced?

How do you get an invite to this couch?

Scroll to the top of the page and you'll see a button that says "The Couch."

Good away day, that. Our fans were piss poor in the build up and during the first half. It wasn't just a case of not being given anything to cheer for, people were just off for some reason. However, when it's like that the players have to lift the crowd and in the second half they did that - especia...

Wonder how much Tottenham's mutual consent budget gets spent? Tottenham? Poch, Jose, Conte, Ange...what continuity are you pointing to there? You can critique an approach, but not by citing the exact opposite approach and saying "See, it doesn't work!" Spurs isn't run as a football club. Its a busi...

The blame for it IMO lies with the board who took too long to pot Evatt. That's correct, I think. Schumacher actually saw the squad as too big when he arrived, as he said publicly. He wanted lads out, not in. He wanted time to assess the club properly and be able to make long term plans for the sum...

So the club (not me) still has aspirations to go up via the play off's and they gamble on a partly broken, bargain bucket, cheap as chips option. The club changed managers and he's told them he rates he squad. He needed another player in and didn't want it to impact his summer plans. That's my unde...

I think the problem is if I’m being really honest that Markham has to justify his job and come up with something clever. Instead I think they’ve gone away and tried to find a younger player maybe with more ability long termhe needs. But they've not. Cardiff intend to keep him. It's not some "attemp...

As BWFCI said we could have tried to get the likes of Cosgrove, who is much more proven and fitter etc

The finances involved in the Cosgrove deal are radically different.

GhostoftheBok

Should it have been a risk the club should have taken though ?, given that it's now left us with few striker options - shouldn't the recruitment team have been looking at someone fitter and more proven instead of taking such a risky gamble. Yes, probably - given it was likely him or nobody. You can...

I would really like to know what the Markham rationale / criteria was behind the Etete signing

Cheap, available and able to hold the ball up.

He was a stop-gap to give Schumacher an option, without impacting his summer budget.

Unfortunately it was also risk, which I'm sure they all understood.

Oh dear it looks like our new tall striker is out for 4-5 weeks, great signing this is turning out to be.

I think footballs awash with players and managers doing proper cuntish things and getting away with so long as they're producing

To a genuinely disgusting degree, yes.

Players are going to leave in the summer. If the club can save some money by promoting some youngsters then that will help a lot. There will be limited funds and every spot they can save money means more can be put into a better player somewhere else. We have Schon. Can we promote Conway and avoid b...

I thought this tweet from Brommers was indicative of why Cogley should be offered a new deal.
