Completely agree. Meite and Tanner on the flanks with Ashford up front.

I can't help feeling that our scouting nwtwork needs a complete overhaul - Andrej Ilic was the last youngster we looked at but we were too late to the part and his stock was already too rich for us....

What is the sense in playing him ahead of our youngsters at this stage of the season?

Don’t know why but that commentator got on my thrupnies by calling Birmingham ‘Blues’ rather than ‘the Blues’. Jordan James is wasted in that team - hard to believe he’s only 19

It would be great to see some youngsters getting game time. Little point in our loanees starting IMO. I'd start Joel Colwill, Ashford and Tanner

Ha ha sorry mate it wasn’t. You’re only half melted now.

That's not remotely the same is it? You wouldn't applaud him doing some quality cutting in either would you you melt. Nothing wrong with complaining when we're being served up crap in a football...

I agree about the stats. I remember everyone raving about Gary Medel's 90 odd percent passing accuracy - when every pass pass 2 yards sideways or backwards.

Stats aside though Dimi's been a great...

Fair play. Although it did make me chuckle that they made more cash from Graham Potters transfer to Chelsea than Trossard to Arsenal.

Three great players - I suspect Archie Gray will win it as he plays for dirty Leeds.

I did some figures on another thread and I think we're about right in the table for our level of wage expenditure.

The transfer fees are interesting - Stoke are by far the biggest NET spenders...

I went on a tour of the Bernabeu and there wasn't really a lot of 'stuff' just a lot of videos, shirts and balls. It would be cool to see a history our kits with footage or pictures of the games we...

I just can't bring myself to re-watch it.

He's well regarded by the Rotherham fans and I think he'd be good on and off the pitch for us if he were to come back. Obviously, given his age and injury issues it would need to a sensible deal - a...

:thumbup:

I think the rules have got stricter and stricter. Not so long ago players were free to bet on other games.

I used to work next door to a bookies in Cardiff about 15 years ago and...

Not being funny but that was my thought too. I completely understand that it's a gambling addiction but is it specifically to football? I've seen interviews with players talking about betting on...

Very true so it all comes down to the burdon of proof and what level the court required e.g. beoyond reasonable doubt or balance of probability.

If it's the latter I would think the stats...

It'll be a close game but Poland were planying a much weaker team with 10 men for 65 minutes.

I really don't think we're top half spenders on wages either. Even if we are anywhere near it's not because of OUR wage structure but vecause we've been forced into using the loan market much more...

a handy AI summary:
The writer criticizes their football club's management for neglecting key elements that successful clubs prioritize, like a positive playing style and data-driven recruitment....

I think the safety first label is spot on. When we've pressed teams and shown attacking intent that's when we looked like a decent team. Unfortunately it's often only done when we're chasing a game....

That's a really good point and also another reason we should stick with Bulut. A new manager just means potentially a new formation & playing style leading to players either not being fancied by the...

I've just looked at his stats this season, as you say, they are pretty impressive in a struggling team. His shot accuracy, goals Vs expected goals are in the high 90s percentile across all players in...

The rule change I'd like to see is stop defenders shepherding the ball out for goal kicks. It's obstruction anywhere else on the pitch, particularly where the ball is two or three yards away and the...

Big clubs in the EPL is a more global thing I think. A big club there is one with a big global following.

Below the EPL you then look at; stadium size, season ticket holders, and historic...
