Yeah, game of two halves for sure. The wind was howling around down there which made it difficult for the team attacking the, er, Canton End. We struggled to get anything going in the first half and...

Academy game at 1.00 today, against QPR (who lost 8-2 last time out). Rare Tuesday off for me so I'll pop down and watch. I asked my missus to come too and it's not even Valentine's Day but she...

I haven't seen enough of King or Adams to make an assessment and I'm wary of going overboard about either. Derby have got Collins, Nelson and Mendez-Laing playing for them plus Pack (at Portsmouth)...

Thanks for that.

A good rating, and write-up, for him at the weekend. As usual.

Ebou Adams: Was full of blood and thunder in the middle of the pitch and he has been such a transformative...

Funnily enough, I was in the process of asking you something a couple of hours ago but my dinner was ready and you took second place. I was wondering if the club still do their own loan reports, you...

Here's the link for the three teams of the season. Pack, Mendez-Laing and Flint got selected.

Big loss for them today but Fagan-Walcott seems to have come out in credit again. As I've said a couple of times recently, he always seems to be involved at both ends of the pitch. I've never seen a...

Yes, Benny was based on Doberman and the actor who played Doberman did Benny's voice. Some interesting stuff in here.

Not sure about Bowen, that's hard...

70s Chris Dibble. Interesting read-up on Top Cat there. I'd forgotten it was based on Bilko, what a programme that was.

Sam Bowen came on for Dibble's former club, Wealdstone, at 2-1 down last...

00s Martin Grainger?

I get the point, as I do about a lot of the criticism, but I reckon we might want to be a bit careful what we wish for if Bulut goes. Just my opinion, of course, but if we replace him with a manager...

A quick run through of the weekend's action for our loaned out players.

Not much to report really. I was looking to do a write-up on Gateshead getting to Wembley but Kieron Evans didn't get off...

Surely even Warnock wouldn't have had us launching a Hail Mary from there with half an hour left? Maybe he would.

I'll put this Academy clip up for anyone who's interested. As a bit of context,...

I'm with you here. I can't see how getting on the players' backs helps anything. Trouble is on here, as Blue Matt says, that you're seen as a happy clapper if you're not frothing at the mouth 24/7 so...

Ralls was careless, that's pretty much it. He'll hold his hands up, I'm sure, but he didn't do it on purpose, I can't say I see it as a sacking offence but it's all about opinions.

Nothing wrong...

20s Noah Ohio, which is right up there with Luke Waterfall and Jazzi Barnum-Bobb in the best name stakes. Jazzi's sister is named Calypso, by the way. It doesn't get much better than that.
...

Ralls' fault completely. Just puts the ball down and passes it blind to Phillips, who's not only got his back turned but is walking away from Ralls to pass on Bulut's message to Goutas. The only...

70s Phil Holme. There's an interview online that Mavis Nicholson did with Billy Bragg. I'm thinking about watching it but we'll see. If she did one with the Redskins I'll be all over it but that's a...

Billy Woof

and Billy Paynter for the 00s

60s Ray Pettit?

I knew David Lloyd had gone to Derbyshire but didn't realise Aneurin Donald had too. Hope that goes well for him.

This isn't going to plan so far. Cav can't seem to shake an illness off while Evenepoel and Vingegaard both broke their collarbones today in a crash on a descent that also brought Roglic down, but he...

Leeds won their semi-final tonight, beat Millwall 4-3. Charlie Crew scored a decent goal. Man City beat Bristol City 1-0 in the other semi.

I think you're missing the point a bit. It came up last season in one of the thousand other Colwill threads that part of the issue is the youngsters get massively overhyped on here (I've been guilty...

King did go on loan a season earlier, to be fair, but it didn't work out for him at Crewe and he came back in January. We couldn't send him out on loan again because we'd played him in a League Cup...
