Doug’s that tight, he only cries from one eye

In its current format, no it won’t be better. You’ve left yourself the helpful caveat of ‘if we signed 2/3 players’ but unless those players are Gyokeres and Hamer, we won’t be better, now or in the next season.

I think we needed to add more in the summer and already have a Hamer replacement in the wings. So we need a centre forward that can score and a box to box midfielder - so just the spine of the team then effectively Gyokeres and Hamer piss all over anything in the current squad. Still massive...

With 2 or 3 players…. like saying Gemma Collins would be really fit if she lost 9 stone.

Great thread, just disappointed it doesn’t feature the annual post about well known Zulus coming to ‘spoil the party’ and ‘work colleagues have said they’ll be trouble’….

I wear Nike AM1’s a lot more now but you can’t beat a pair of gazelles for comfort and versatility. You can pick good colour ways up for £40-50 mark in sales too. I tend to avoid the lighter colours as they get trashed easily. These two are two of my favourites for matchdays (I know one is a...

I think you’ll find that was by our wonderful head of recruitment, Dean Austin, who has been as much use as Russel Slade’s hairdryer. I’m sure Doug King is busy prancing around his office to his silly song, thinking of a way to charge £30 for Oxford at home tickets, but as soon as he’s done...

Wow. Had big doubts about Dave Boddy when he arrived but he’s done fantastic for this club - to give Robins and Adi the platform and support to take us close to the PL from the depths of League 2. We have had countless external issues and DB has helped guide us through. Thank you for everything...

That’s the problem with people saying boycott - we all know there will be someone with the cash prepared to take our spot. The cheapest adult ticket I could see for the playoff final was £67 all in and I only remember sob stories for tickets, not regarding the pricing. This is only £20 less and...

European Cups have been more important in every decade, including the 80s. Being Champions of Europe is far superior to being FA Cup Winners because of an own goal.

The European Cup has always been bigger than the FA Cup and always will be. You had to win the league back then to enter the European Cup proper. Suggesting the FA Cup was bigger than the European cup is just pandering like the wrinkly old leeches that ring in CWR. The European Cup is the top...

Because the FA Cup in 2023 isn’t known for having games on Friday night, Saturday lunch and Sunday lunch. I remember Arsenal away in the cup 2013 and the bitching about it being a Friday night game, here we are 10 years later and it’s still the same.

Data is great when you remove the context; have you seen how many big chances European Champions Man City make per game? Now compare that to Championship Coventry City where we don’t make 15 chances a game and still miss Hamer. We can’t afford a striker that needs 5 chances to score one goal...

The formation and reintroduction of Bidwell has helped Wright, but am I going to start gushing praise on Wright after the finishing away at Millwall? We all need Wright to come good but he should be doing far more than he currently is.

A quirk! Already covered this. Wright has been consistently lazy this season, Bidwell has been brought back into offer some defensive security down that wing and the shift to 4 in a back has helped. A quirk is a false centre back, not changing our formation as our big summer signing is lazy...

Godden didnt cost 10% of what Haji Wright did in fee and hasn’t demanded sky high wages. If you’re going to demand the big money, you need to deliver in the big moments and Wright has been shite for 90% of the season and on the verge of acceptable for 10% of it. Let’s not make out he’s turned a...

He looks average/okay on the left wing, still poor for £8M and has been supported by the reintroduction of Bidwell to make us more defensively solid whilst Wright refuses to track back. He’s hitting a bit of form which we badly needed but let’s not pretend he wasn’t stinking the place out before.

The only surprise is that people are surprised, nothing means more to Doug than charging the highest prices for tickets and rubbish kits. The statement admits they didn’t want to lose profit and this was far more important than getting a reciprocal deal. If we agreed to charge Leeds £25 for the...

In context - in December before Christmas, 3 out of 4 weekend games were scheduled to be away from home anyway, but we have been given our Boxing Day game at home for the first time in a while. The only game that has been brought forward is Birmingham which was always likely to be moved, I...

Growing up, we all had to miss certain midweek night games that were in term time. Thats nothing new
