From what I’ve seen I agree. Seems to cover a lot of ground easily and gets stuck in. He’s also hit a couple of decent shots which hints that he might score a few too. Ralls apart he looks head and shoulders over our box to box options in the last few seasons.

Rino scored an absolute peach for us v Norwich a few years ago. The perfect strike and it flew into the back of the net but that was very much the exception. He won’t score many for you.

I now only occasionally dip into the forum if there is a thread that catches my eye. When I do contribute I try to be constructive and never indulge in the sort of behaviour which apparently has now led to one of the major contributors quitting the CCMB. However I often find that what I contribute is drowned out by cross-sniping from the same half a dozen people, and which often leads to the original purpose of the thread becoming lost in a hail of venomous bullets. I still can't quite believe that apparently some people on the forum have multiple user names so they can argue with themselves or to wind up other folk.....wow!

Cheers Mike, who’ve you brought in ?
Most have you down as struggling this season due to losing a few players and the FFP challenges.

Anyone to look out for in 2 weeks time ?

We seem to be bringing in a lot of big lads. Definite emphasis on physicality. A lad on loan from Forest called Tyrese Fornah. He is a decent CDM. Jeff Hendrick from Newcastle. A bit cumbersome but he will be ok at this level. Sam Hutchinson from Sheffield Wed. Good, strong tackler and will be important to us if he stays fit. Shane Long has returned as has Tom Ince. A couple of so so keepers.
Likely to sign Mamouda Loum and Nabi Sarr next week who fit the physical mould of players being brought in.

So no stand out but that wasn’t going to happen. Think we will draw a lot more games this season and concede less but probably win and score less too.

Politics in the politics forum. Makes sense to me. Not sure why so much of it remains on the front page, there shouldn’t be any leeway. If it’s political discuss it in a place people want to discuss their political opinions.

I get the off season is light on football topics but there’s still enough non political threads to populate the front page and have a decent discussion.

Sarr is an interesting one. Always seemed to be really highly rated, but then play awful against us.

Going physical might not be a bad option if you are going to be fighting at the wrong end of the table

Yep I think so. It is going to be a slog but we do at least seem to have a plan this season. Think we will avoid relegation and that will be seen as a success.
