    Simms is definitely trying to play off Doyle’s shoulder. He knows he’s got the run on him and is looking for it every time. We know Doyle is good, but we also know he’s slow.

    I like Torp, and am definitely in the camp of him being a good player for us, but he’s such a confidence player. I watched him and he hid for the first few minutes, but he then makes a good pass and suddenly wants the ball and is even making a tackle/showing good strength. He will come good...

    Summer transfer window 2024

    We will make play offs. We made play offs before with essentially two stand out players. We have more game winners in the team now, perhaps not individually as good, but game changers. I’m pissed off too we haven’t got a CM in for the record, but it’s not the end of the season at all.

    Summer transfer window 2024

    This was a cheerful read this morning. Yep, it’s massively frustrating we didn’t get another CM in, but the squad is more than good enough. Some of the over the top doomsday predictions are embarrassing. I also wouldn’t be surprised to see us revert to a flatter three (6 and two 8’s) in...

    Championship thread 24/25!

    Decent player, but; 1) He’s overrated 2) His ability can be mitigated by getting in his head, he’s easily manipulated He’ll be nothing on the signing we’ll make in the next 24 hours (I hope).

    This was early one and it’s even more noticeable; he loves a moan. Good to see in some senses, but equally can grate as a teammate, especially from a new player who isn’t necessarily a starter. Sure it won’t be seen that way. And good to see the commitment and confidence early one.

    I sit in block 20 mate, I don’t sing.

    Basette’s movement is good, he also loves a moan be it to the officials or teammates. Confident chap. Atmosphere is dead, but if you aren’t here you can’t exactly moan about it.

    Positive; excited to see that team. Negative; Camden bar at block 20 is closed again.

    Yea this nearly put me off. Taking my daughter to her first game and I doubt she’ll last 90, but on the off chance she does I didn’t want to be stuck in an hour traffic afterwards. We’re now reliant on way too infrequent train service. Fingers crossed for an entertaining game…..

    It’ll be my daughters first game tomorrow - mega proud moment, even if I highly doubt she’ll last the 90. She’s 4 - any recommendations for pre game stuff? We’re not in the family stand (if that’s even open tomorrow) but my usual ST seat and we’ve sorted her one by me. Does Sky Blue Sam still...

    In fairness Lati was solid last game. I especially remember a one on one attack where he defended really really well, no room for error and he jockeyed and tackled at exactly the right time.

    Strong team and a game changing bench. Draw is a good result, a win is a great one. Can’t help but be optimistic with that team. Sheaf +new CM, and we’re in a ridiculous place.

    Anyone for anything on this? At this point, I’m aiming for a generic Walkabout type place hoping they’ll have it on.

    Didn’t realise it was a 12:30 KO or it was on Sky until ittoo late and I’m out in Birmingham from midday. Any recommendations for where might show the game? There’s a Man U game on, so I assume most pubs will have that on.

    Just caught up on the last dozen or so pages: Don’t get the bed wetting re lack of signings/noise; there’s plenty of time left in the window and we’ve proven many times we don’t leak signings (e.g. Bassette). Don’t get the excitement for Worrell. We have 4 CB’s and play two. The word...

    Haji Wright

    He was good last night and both his goals were excellent for different reasons. I don’t think he scores that this time last year. Such composure and confidence; neither of which he had 12 months ago. I actually thought his touch at times last night was frustrating. Either his first touch or an...

    Why didn't the ref or lino do anything about this?

    I remember seeing this in the moment and being absolutely baffled why the linesman didn’t give it! It’s been mentioned but I’d also be keen to see what happened with Lati second half too, it was definitely off the ball and our players weren’t happy. Most frustrating thing is nothing will be...
