Don’t know if this has been mentioned, was Fadz the only player we had actually born before we won the cup? Not one player in the club was born when we won the cup? Feel old.

Allen is a good squad player but just not quick (short stride is quick enough but doesn’t cover the ground quickly to track back or run on to a forward ball - just my observation) or physical enough to be where we need to be. Obviously, doesn’t offer much in the air. He does have good ability...

Here’s one I remember as a kid: Jose Perdomo. Looked to be in a different level in midfield. F knows what happened to him.

To be fair Bidwell is a set piece taker and has an air of calmness about him Dabo never had. It’s just conjecture but….

Sheffield blokes are on the whole decent but have huge chips on their shoulders. Think the world owes them a living and Yorkshire is the best place on earth.

I suggested we kept Jones on the basis of loaning him out. Got laughed at. We sunk a lot of money into keeping him on and rehabilitating him. Was an odd decision to just write it off. His attitude seemed right and he wouldn’t have needed huge wages. Sunk cost, low cost risk with a big...

Anyone know (and I wouldn’t have believed, 3 years ago, that this question would ever be a serious one) what the options are for increasing the capacity at the CBS? If we follow the Luton pattern (where we followed them up the league 1 year behind) we might well go up. I’m sure we’ll sell out...

I think these £1m to £2m signings are the right tactic. Potential to develop but without putting all eggs in one basket.

Nacho Novo being put on Wiki was a classic.

It his first time posting ratings and they were well reasoned from his view. The Poster needs time to “gel” and if we are keen to cut Wright some slack, why not people posting on this?

Collins 6 Long punts up to Sims and Wright often meant quick possession turnovers to Soton. Very short passes to our CB’s meant we were under pressure from their high press - needed to bowl to wide more so overall his distribution was poor. MVE 8 His pace takes care or so many opposition...

We beat a hapless Birmingham team and our double digit million strike force still couldn’t hit a barn door with a banjo. Ironically, the cheaper signings are doing better. Blah blah “time to adjust” blah blah “Haji can put his own boots on”. Hope our strikers improve if we’ve any chance on...

Had to laugh for our second goal, absolute served up chance and both our strikers just flailed about like drunks having a fight and Cal had to nip in to plant it home.

Yeah, thought that. When you’ve got a pied-off team in B’ham with one or two cloggers the last thing you need is to risk a hard tackle on O’Hare. Thought he’d bring him off to protect him and maybe put Kelly or Lati in to sit in from of the back 4 to protect the lead.

That handball by their “Tats” was nailed on pen with VAR and the Sims pull down was probably a red for the defender. It could be argued that the “dive” by their player in the box might have been given the other way - Thomas slight contact. Not advocating VAR, just saying how different the...

Yeah, was a tricky one that. Did a decent looking job on Juke, who I thought was about 40 now and with respect to him (Juke) wasn’t highly mobile. When the kid half the age came on he had Thomas on toast a couple of times. Got wrongsided in the box and got done by their winger who was adjudged...

Collins 7 Mixed game - clean sheet but some of his kicking all over the show but a good bowl out for the second goal and good tip over near the end. MVE 8 Getting better every game and has found a good understanding with Tats. Great bit of play for the second goal. He got the better of their...

Bidwell.

Yes, fair one. When I see Ayari roaming around in some of the same areas Gyok was last year and think WTF? How has it come to this? Why Luton not us? Why, why whaaaa😞 I’ll get over it. One day. Maybe.

I agree. See, you would have been shocked to see Panzo dander over as 6th. I get it. Many were surprised to see Dabo, that’s all. Personally, much like player ratings threads, people rate penalty taker order. For me: That day on the pitch: Gyok Godden Sheaf Eccles Kelly (obvs, but...
