Re: If carlsberg did transfer threads.....This would be it!

From memory, Ream played a game and a half in midfield ...perhaps over three games. He'd start in midfield, then when we inevitably conceded Freedman would (rightly) rejig the line-up, bringing on a striker for a centre-back. That was when the team were absolute pish, and maybe Ream could have done...

Re: Capital One Cup first round - Burton (H) this tuesday

Two forced changes - BN reporting that Pratley has a knock (and could also miss the Boro match) and Spearing is suspended. More than a knock, Doc - ligament damage, says a slightly strangely proud NL in BN . Darren Pratley went in for a tackle very early on – I think it was the incident when Bryson...

Re: Capital One Cup first round - Burton (H) this tuesday

Lennon in the BN: I want to progress. We will go into every competition the same way. I was fortunate to win this competition a couple of times so I know how important it is to players and to clubs. There are only three competitions we play in so I don’t want to be missing out on one early on. We a...

Re: Ram Bam, Thank You Ma'am. Derby match thread

Lennon in the BN : I thought the attitude, intensity and application was fantastic and the quality was there in abundance at times. We are all very pleased. At the end of the game you saw the reaction from the crowd and that’s exactly what we are trying to create here. I thought we got a second win...

Re: If carlsberg did transfer threads.....This would be it!

Jussi's gone to Wigan. Good on him – useful for his family life and he'll hopefully be welcome back here when he's ready to go into coaching (frankly I'm slightly surprised he isn't already, what with being 40). And yes, this means Wigan can more easily afford his wages (and presumably offer first-t...

Re: If carlsberg did transfer threads.....This would be it!

I'm not sure who gives the nod on accepting an offer, Lennon or Gartside, but if I was Lennon I'd start lining up potential signings for a replacement centre half and at least another full back. At least depending on how much we'll get to spend. Prince, Derik, Wheater, Dervite + kids should be alri...

Re: Capital One Cup first round - Burton (H) this tuesday

surely early days in the season, minutes on the pitch are valuable? Yep - which is why it would be good for Vela, Davies etc to get a runout. I don't think anybody's saying "We're a Premiership team, Allardyce should be playing the Academy". I wouldn't be looking at say Twardzik or Woolery, althoug...

Re: If carlsberg did transfer threads.....This would be it!

Wonder if Millwall might be interested in taking Trotter back. Not that his wage will be much compared to some, or even most, of the squad.

Re: Ram Bam, Thank You Ma'am. Derby match thread

Said it might be unpopular... Broad question: is it only a dive if it's followed by an appeal? I'd say not necessarily – maybe he remembered he was already on a yellow and didn't fancy another for dissent – but I'm perfectly happy for others to disagree. I maintain that if he'd really wanted to – sa...

Re: Ram Bam, Thank You Ma'am. Derby match thread

Maybe he thinks Vela doesn't yet have the experienced street-smarts to see out a game

Mind you, Trotter certainly doesn't

Early days but it sounds like Lennon might be following his Pratley trick with maximising Moxey

Maybe Trotter's a miracle too far to ask

Re: Capital One Cup first round - Burton (H) this tuesday

I'd like to see Clough get at least 45 minutes running at a lower-league team. Would be good to get Davies, Trotter (yes), Vela and Dobbie some match time. Maybe Fitzsimons too, to see if he can handle it (might even convince us we don't need a bench-sitting standby). Back four depends on fitness. N...

I think Spearing, who hasn't got a left foot, went down far too easily. Or, in old money, "dived".

Put it this way: had Ince gone down after that much contact from Dervite, we'd have been crucifying him.

Re: BBC one football league show or Channel 5's version?

Perhaps the most uncomfortable TV watching since the era of Extras and Curb Your Enthusiasm... And they were *supposed* to be uncomfortable.

Re: Ram Bam, Thank You Ma'am. Derby match thread

I was truly impressed by the Prince. Long my he reign. Do princes reign? :D Given that we have Wheater, Ream & Derik missing from there then that all looks pretty good. As Bruce notes, we've almost too many. I do hope Moxey turns into a left-back, because we really need overlapping (especially with...

Re: Ram Bam, Thank You Ma'am. Derby match thread

I said when Spearing got his first yellow that I was worried. I'm not sure he deserved to go but it's a risk. Last season you couldn't appeal a second yellow and if that rule changed over summer, I didn't hear about it (but that doesn't mean it didn't happen). Tower commentators very impressed with ...
