Uh probably? I don’t really mind where he scores from tbh

Man City play with two holding midfielders - he seems to do OK with it.

That famous big club bias from referees to disallow a goal for……Real Madrid?

My player of the season, behind Kalvin Phillips

The idea that our success this year can only be determined by league position is what I think is a short-sighted mindset. I agree with you that loans would have been welcome in January. I disagree with you that if we miss the playoffs, it means the team has gone backwards. We have a young core...

Just ridiculous short-termist thinking. Your nostalgia for the previous ‘model’ ignores the reality that it was completely unsustainable. Our success in previous years came about despite our refusal to give Robins a long-term platform to build on, not because of it. His ability to pull a...

It’s undeniably vacuous but I assume that’s kind of the point when you’re being interviewed for the Telegraph’s weekend supplements. Or do they feature more articles on MMT than I give them credit for?

Obviously yes? “In war people die” is a pretty handy get-out-of-the Hague-free card, but given the scale of the civilian death toll in Gaza it doesn’t put Israel in great company.

So the 25,000 women and kids killed in the process aren’t of interest to you?

Tim Davie interrupting talks with the government about the BBC’s coverage of Gaza to make sure Coventry City don’t appear on BBC1

Which would be fair enough, but if his job is essentially to work the refs and then undermine them in public, are we really surprised that confidence in refereeing is falling?

Do I have this right - Mark Clattenburg is now working as a “referee analyst” at Forest, whose job involves slagging off individual decisions to the media and trying to get into the ref’s dressing room after the game? https://www.bbc.co.uk/sport/football/68459920

You posted about Lawrence at 8:51pm, then he started a very similar thread at 8:57. Interesting timing, presumably just a coincidence?

Torp is coming off an injury, Simms has played in maybe every game, and Kitching/Bidwell/Wright all started three nights prior because we were Very Concerned that a team from the National League South would turn us over if we didn’t start as strong a team as possible.

Easier to say when you’ve got a squad like Leeds, but not sure we can Jedi mind trick the players into being fully fit for five games in 16 days.

There is no way that two players who we’ve signed for £3 million and £7 million respectively should be “squad players”. The same applies to Kitching too.

Don’t see the need for a four-year deal myself, but it seems to be the policy under DK to give four-year deals at a minimum to every new signing, unless they would turn 30 before the end of the contract.

Ran into the Preston GK after the game last week - he said when they were prepping for the game, they were mostly concerned about the threat posed by Simms and Wright. Obviously they were pleasantly surprised/relieved by the reality, but these are clearly two players with the potential and...

We definitely could do with a well-known player who can come in and score goals at a completely unsustainable rate!

I don’t think anyone on this thread has accused Saddlebrains of being the culprit for this
