Maguire replaced Shaw at left centre back Did you watch the game? From the few glances that I had Maguire was grappling in the opposition box. BTW , Maguire replacing Shaw-is this 2020 or is it 2025? Just had a quick look for a heatmap for him, but couldn't find one. You might be right, just need t...

Normal service resumes. 8) Still end up playing Maguire at centre forward and lobbing the ball into the box. If only they had bought a few attacking players...............................................oh. Maguire replaced Shaw at left centre back Did you watch the game? From the few glances that ...

I wondered why Villa sold one of their better players in Ramsey but the implication on the radio was that they had to in order to comply with the sustainability rules. They may get left a bit behind this season with all the other clubs near the top spending a lot in an attempt to improve whereas Vil...

Just touching on the long balls from deep to either a no.9 who can't head a ball or to two wingers who are most unlikely to win any headers. We have some decent passers of a ball in midfield and interchange of passing between them and a final ball along the ground is surely our best current option a...

Good uses As cover for Wing when injured To be a deeper option that allows Wing to push forward As part of a double pivot when defending a lead or against high calibre opposition Bad uses As an attacking or creative midfielder when Doyle and Elliott are available. Discuss. Hunt tried to explain why...

rabidbee Cheltenham away would suit me.

To get a decent crowd I would like to see Oxford, Brighton or Southampton but for convenience Bournemouth.

Lots of buffering on my TV and the coverage was about 5 minutes behind but I am enjoying once again the solitary commentator. Ahmed once again looking the part and Kelvin's confidence should be sky high after this but I doubt that he will have as much space in a League game. Pompey strikers are very...

It's a tough tie, in a competition we don't really care about. I get that prize money is good, but this is a team just relegated to our division, who recently beat us 4-0. The prospect of a win is remote, so it's just an opportunity to take a free hit to get minutes in legs. I see it the other way ...

I was at that game. Deathie was our best ever keeper imo but he didn't "save" us that day, - we deserved to win. I was also at Fratton Park in 1976, early in the season, when we won 2-0. I have a good record at Portsmouth but I'm afraid I'm not going tomorrow night! Isn’t that (the FACup ...

Have had one of those.

Even though I'm curious, I'm not going to google that!

It’s an operation on vertebrae in the spine.

L4 in my case.

Pleased they won though 8) They drew the game :wink: ...(.but won the trophy). Palace showed in the second half of last season that they are a decent side and if they keep the current squad they will cause a few upsets (see Man City). For a Charity Shield game it was quite entertaining but Liverpoo...

Millsy Rather have a laminectomy.

Have had one of those.

Kyerewaa reminds me a bit of Akande. Raw pace and directness. Causes problems, but never quite in control so the final ball is always a bit off balance and wayward after snaking through a couple of challenges others wouldnt try to beat. Very much agree on Kyerewaa. He seems to be very much in the m...

It already feels as though this season may well be one when we won't challenge for promotion but will look to start building the team for next season or the season after. So, why not do something different this season and try to progress as far as possible in the 3 cup competitions. Now that we are...

Last season in League 1, 6 clubs exceeded £1m in player purchases. Wycombe spent £1.5m Peterborough spent £3m but recouped £7m Charlton spent £1.2m but recouped £900k Huddersfield spent £5m but recouped £6m. The other 2 were Wrexham and Birmingham. The league as a whole had a nett spend of £16m. Bi...

My last posting on here is regrettably to advise posters that this is happening.
Ciao posters, ciao Garcia and wishing him the best of luck.

Vic is that certain type of person (we all know lots of them) who is totally unable to hold an objective conversation about something that they don't 'like'. It's the 'STG' effect. I don't 'like' Cristiano Ronaldo. The preening, the tantrums, the stupid free kick process. But I can see that he is o...
