absolutely no fan of Thorn but it was Boothroyd who brought McSheffrey back.

Suspect It’s gone over my head but just in case 2017-2018 League Two League Table

We never finished the Anglo-Scottish Cup-Winners Cup

Rupert Lowe now a Brexit Party MEP was the former Southampton chairman who decided after weeks of negotiation not to sell that club to SiSU

Perdomo was an outstanding player. He wasn’t fit and came to us in a final attempt to save his career. It’s the anniversary of Regis Genaux’s birth today. He only started 4 times for us and complained of a Scottish mafia keeping him out at City. Moved to Udinese.

Watford view of the game, our support and the demise of Bury... Watford 3 Coventry City 0 (27/08/2019)

Of course I meant Declan McManus :-)

If you need to draw a line why not start with a basic understanding of structural disadvantage? Very few people have excrement put through their letterboxes because they are bald, drawing attention to their baldness is a different order of insult to that experienced by minorities, women and the...

Ireland presumably would like to retaliate for Damien Rice’s switch to England. Maddison was in the England squad this time last year but was not given a space on the sub’s bench and has not featured in a senior squad since. Sancho, Rice, and even Ward-Prowse have leapt ahead of him in...

Clive certainly didn’t do much analysis today

Hasn’t our form dipped at the Ricoh in each season once they started playing Rugby on it? I’ll try and dig out some stats when the Sultan of Brunei grants me proper internet access in his guest palace if that’s ok w Hill83 ;-)

I happened to find out the declared salary for a player we signed in League 2 as he declared it when buying a house to a friend. Was shocked at how modest it was tbh

Surely going 5 at the back vs 9 men isn’t the issue, it’s the inability to see the game out for three points from 3-1 up vs 9 men even w a 5 man defence that’s the issue.

Not sure. Remind me who was in it

I think you’re in agreement with me. We had to start all over again because last year’s loan gambles didn’t quite get us near to promotion. If and only if.... it’s a judgment call, given last year, I’m not bothered about gambling on Kane thingy or Connor Cov or anyone else now.

I do see this and agree about the merit of all three but IMO there’s no way that Sterling would have survived that traumatic start to the season without an understanding that he was a guaranteed starter despite his early form.

Yep they got promoted. It’s a gamble. Our three best players were the loanees last year but all have moved on without us. As the gamble didn’t pay off we were not even at square one but in a worse position recruitment wise. We had to replace both them and the squad players they replaced in the...

Of course you’re right which is why on balance I wouldn’t bother and would rely on players with a stake in the future of our club rather than someone else’s.

I’m increasingly of the opinion that loaning players from clubs in higher leagues is a waste of time - unless they are actually good enough to make the difference in getting promotion (or preventing relegation), they are counterproductive. Take last season and our recruitment of Sterling on...

Wasn’t it a chair?
