    Hamer back?

    What a bizarre metric “passes into the final third” is.

    Not quite the same proximity with the injury and was a proven PL striker.

    Milan van Ewijk Appreciation Thread

    Pace is such an asset in todays game and Van Ewijk is very quick. An exciting signing

    Contracts.

    Don’t think people will be throwing money at O’Hare. ACL injuries aren’t great in terms of attracting interest. It’s harsh but it’s the way it is.

    Home attendances

    Yes, happily surprised with attendances. Maybe the game itself has grown in terms of popularity and exposure. It’s strange to think we had years and years of what would now be Premier League football and drew in 10-15,000 late seventies early eighties, and all through the eighties to be honest.

    Transfer targets

    I would imagine he would say he wants to stay. He can then compare offer A with B and C and choose. He’s not daft enough to say he wants out - why would he.

    Maybe, it’s all about opinions.

    Recruitment has been shocking

    So it’s down to his analysts then? Not that wherever he’s been he’s had the licence to hoover up talent without having to consider affordability?

    Transfer targets

    Maybe we tried? He may have been aware of the interest from other clubs. You just never know. One thing I do know - we ought to get the name of Barnsley’s head scout!

    Recruitment has been shocking

    In your opinion. The game is now analysed in minute detail which means pundits etc have to find things to say. These myths creep in. But 99% of it is just what you might call good play. Pass, find space, receive and repeat. Two of the most successful sides ever had systems simply built on that...

    Recruitment has been shocking

    Of course you have to have a system. My point is it’s out of control. Pivots, false nines, presses etc etc. It’s just good, intelligent technical play dressed up in endless nonsense.

    Match Thread Coventry City - Southampton Match Thread - Wednesday 13th Dec

    Robins looked as happy with that display on Friday as I’ve seen him this season. I think he’ll go with the same starting 11. Godden maybe comes back onto the bench - can’t see him changing much more.

    Recruitment has been shocking

    100%. The sizes and variations of back room staff is ridiculous.

    Don’t believe the hype. It’s a simple game.

    Recruitment has been shocking

    You need a system. But by and large other factors play a larger part. Form, momentum, confidence. Loads of debate as to whether we’re playing 4511, 4412 etc etc. Back four or five is about the extent that matters.

    Why do the teams with the best players win more often?

    The fee for Liam Kitching

    Kitching looks a good player to me. Pace, distribution and most importantly defends very well. He’s clearly better in a back four which allows him to just defend everything rather than wondering where he should be.

    Transfer Rumour Haji Wright

    The goals will come for Wright. What impressed me was his work rate. He regularly filled back in and tracked back. When he gets the ball he rarely wastes it which keeps us ticking. Just need him to hit the net more regularly.

    Recruitment has been shocking

    Systems. Largely irrelevant. Bidwell is in better form than DaSilva. Collins than Wilson. Kitching has settled. Allen and O’Hare back to fitness. Hence improvement.
