    Has a second leg of a cup game ever been more pointless?

    I would without doubt still go. A club like burton have massively overachieved to be in the league cup semi finals and regardless of their result against one of the very best sides in Europe, the players deserve the support and recognition for their achievement. Add to that, I’d happily part...

    League one news/transfers 2018/19

    With no disrespect to Luton. Stoke will offer him a financial package that is probably 10x what he is on at Luton. He will get to work with a budget of an ex-Premier League club with parachute payments that will allow him to sign players he desires, Stokes current squad will be far superior to...

    Tom Davies

    I really like Tom Davies, but would go as far as saying I’d probably rather see Doyle there, and that’s saying something. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

    McNulty

    Stop with your rational thinking. If you're not about to explode with anger at the fact he cost £500,000 and hasn't scored every game so far, I don't want to hear it!

    McNulty

    Although I wish I agreed, he's basically had 6 months of being a sub, having earned a load more cash, and can probably just go back to League 1 and continue as per usual. Not really the end of the world for him. I'd certainly take it!

    January Window

    A few of my mates are Villa fans and went to watch Villa u21s v Stratford Town in the Birmingham Cup earlier this season and all of them were excited about seeing him. All came away saying he looked shocking even at that level. It may have been he just had an off day, after all it's a one-off...

    Corners

    Corner kicks are pretty much a myth of English football, where everyone thinks you're likely to score. I think the conversion rate is around 2.4% of corners taken, and I remember seeing a study suggesting there wasn't much more of an advantage from your own goal kick than a corner (in terms of %...

    Advice Please

    I would say any of the three central (more expensive blocks) are your best bet but anything up to 18 shouldn’t be a problem. Not that the corner is a problem but language starts to become slightly more choice. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

    George Thomas

    Yeah but didn’t you know, one cost £500,000!!! And he’s only scored goals that are tap ins, free kicks or penalties or just goals that aren’t really goals Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

    Tom Bayliss - show me the money.

    We should sell him and bring in some ‘hardened’ 32 year old league one/two central midfielder who has never played above that level because that’s guaranteed to solve all our troubles... Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

    They were both dire first half so not sure Hiwula could be ‘stewing’. He improved drastically in the second half, that was then capped off by a strikers instinct goal. I don’t think he’s been great, but Jesus you’re way, way too negative Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

    Kelly Injury

    Wouldn’t say he’s been amazing but without doubt an improvement on what we have, so is a big loss. Doyle has been very poor all season in that role despite having a run of games, Ogogo hasn’t looked good there but has been sporadic, Kelly has come in, shown authority and calmness. Less of the...

    As I see it

    Also have to add SOME of our ‘fans’ are an absolute disgrace. We were in the Berkeley before, full of great, friendly people, thought it was going to be one of those away games where we didn’t have our share of moany dickheads. The bloke in front of me was calling everyone a ‘f***ing c**t’ from...

    As I see it

    Surprised by the vitriol towards today’s performance. Don’t get me wrong, we were really, really poor first half, but we much improved after the break and were undone by an unlucky deflection and what looked like a great strike from the away end having not seen it back Sent from my iPhone...

    Burge 6.5 - 2 good saves, a kick that could have easily cost us a goal Sterling 6.5 - everything good we did came through him, final ball wasn’t the best Hyam 7 - immense first half Willis 4 - really uncharacteristically poor Mason 5.5 - better second half than first Thomas 5 - not as...

    Burge had 2 flaps in the first ten minutes. One of which very nearly cost us a goal. Other than that he handled some pretty tame efforts very well, he didn't really do anything to warrant a score above or below a 6. The clean sheet was more down to the four in front of him than any saves of...
