May aswell get behind a young guy in a new country and adapt to a physical league. At least supporting him might improve his confidence. Always a race to write people off. Great supporters.

It's a difficult one I'd guess because players at that level playing lots of games are probably never fully 100% fit. You have to be smart and recognise when someone can play through something and when they need rest. Honestly the last time I...

I’ve seen the slug play mate. In what context is he a “like for like” with Dewsbury Hall? They are not remotely alike.

Respectfully disagree. Having 2 real full backs drags players wide and creates more space in the middle and more space for Ndiaye and Grealish. We're extremely predictable on the ball and our front 3 can basically be marked out of games by...

I think your view on him says a lot about your view on football. He’s a spark plug. His work in attack is really good and really does open teams up often. He often makes mistakes. And if you’re someone who can’t overlook that, even from an...

Played well after a cold start, should have started

He came on cold so I am not surprised by the backpass. The KDH injury was unfortunate. When he first came on, you can tell he was trying to play super safe and emulate KDH. That is not who Charly is. He rode a few challenges as the game went on...

An excellent question. An ageing player, with a tournament to save his legs for, who slapped a teammate last time out walks straight back into the team, at the (positional) expense of comfortably our best player over the last few games. This is...

I don't like that Gana is back in. He let us down at Old Trafford.

Gallagher is way better than Alcaraz and Tim. Our fanbase would love him if he came, especially after a couple of games. Good player and leaves nothing out on the pitch.

Gallagher, whilst imo an overrated footballer, would be the perfect fit for us. Lot of effort off the ball and the occasional goal from midfield

This is a very tough game . We have been on a good run but they still have loads of quality . We are capable of getting something if we play well. But they are also very much capable of winning if they click. Lets not over react too much if...

“I’m a lawyer but I need to use Google AI to define the word assault” Seen it all now.

This is something I think people forget, especially if they haven’t played the game to a decent level growing up. The thing you don’t get from watching on tv or playing on video games is these are real people and getting smashed in the back or...

The very best centre halves are more often than not horrible thuggish s-houses, see Ramos, Pepe, Chiellini etc. and very often they got away with it, it's a very difficult and fine art to master but it's a valid tactic to get an edge over your...
