    My initial impressions of Bassette are favourable.

    I’m hoping Sheaf will get twenty minutes or so. 🤞

    Oasis Reunion

    Sometimes I feel as if I am the only person in the country who can’t name a single song by Oasis. However, the wife has cheered me up by telling me that she can’t either. 😆

    Match Thread Bristol City (A) 24th August 12:30 KO

    It’s no surprise that our odds have lengthened once we started playing. I can’t see us getting automatic promotion. This week is key for us. If we can get in the players we need, especially the midfielder, then the playoffs are very much on. We will never know now but I think having Stamenic...

    Match Thread Bristol City (A) 24th August 12:30 KO

    I think that’s a tad optimistic. I have looked at the odds being offered by four of the leading bookmakers and not one has us in the top six, although a few have us down for seventh. If we can get in the extra players we all know we need then I think a place in the playoffs is a realistic...

    Victor Torp

    I think that puts it in a nutshell. Let’s give him a chance if and when he is playing in a position that suits him.

    Kasey Palmer

    We all know that Kasey is inconsistent. He can be brilliant one moment and turn games in our favour and then make a silly mistake. I think his positive attributes outweigh his negative ones. One thing is certain : if he could consistently play at his best for 90 minutes he wouldn’t be our...

    Summer transfer window 2024

    I thought it was the old 2-3-5 formation: Goalkeeper 1 Right Back 2 Left Back 3 Right Half 4 Centre Half 5 Left Half 6 Right Wing 7 Inside Right 8 Centre Forward 9 Inside Left 10 Left Wing 11 No substitutes. The ball was made of leather, weighed about half a ton when wet and was tied up with...

    After the way we played yesterday it would be difficult for anyone to complain if we dropped most of those who started against Bristol. ☹️

    That sounds great. My wife sings in several choirs. She was singing the services at St Paul’s cathedral last weekend with Leicester Church Music Consort. They are doing Worcester and York Minster next year 😊

    Match Thread Oxford United (H) [LC] 27 Aug 7:45pm KO

    So am I. I just hope that we fans are patient with him. He’s young and has just moved to a new club in a (to him) foreign country. There is a lot for him to get accustomed to, including our style of play. We need to let him settle and not get on his back if he doesn’t perform like Lionel Messi...

    Match Thread Oxford United (H) [LC] 27 Aug 7:45pm KO

    I would love to agree with you but I can’t. The only other choice is MVE and I can’t see MR starting him against Oxford. It has to be Lati or Eccles and for the reason I gave above I would prefer that it be Eccles.

    Match Thread Oxford United (H) [LC] 27 Aug 7:45pm KO

    I doubt if he will play such a strong team as that, as I’m sure he will want to rest quite a few of the first choices. They will be available from the bench if required.

    Match Thread Oxford United (H) [LC] 27 Aug 7:45pm KO

    I don’t think you will be too far off with that team @procdoc My only thought, given that Lati played quite well yesterday, is whether MR will want to rest him. We are short of an obvious replacement at RB, so it would probably have to be Eccles as he has played there before. I guess that...

    Viktor Moving on

    Thank goodness! No doubt we all welcome investment in the playing staff and club facilities but I don’t want anyone gambling with its future. We have had enough of that in the past and the two administrations nearly finished us off. The early signs are that with DK we have had the best owner...

    Championship thread 24/25!

    The Blades fans didn’t rate him today. The local press gave him 5 and Hamer 6. Both were substituted. It’s only one game and we have seen both of them play extremely well for us. I do feel that, out of the two of them, Hamer is much the better player and the one we miss the most.

    Transfer Rumour Norman Bassette

    Spot on. The need for a CM is even more pressing than for a CB.

    Kasey Palmer

    I think that, until Sheaf returns, we should play Rudoni in the holding role in place of Torp and start Palmer in the more forward/creative role. Things were certainly better today when we tried that.

    Viktor Moving on

    I think Gykores will move, probably to Arsenal, in this transfer window. The problem for us may be that it happens so late that there is insufficient time for us to spend the money on the players we need.
