2025/26 Merlin Röhl

When we got rinsed 5 nil by Benfica he was signalled out as never going to be good enough defensively for us. Its easy to judge players early on but it's always a mistake to do so in my opinion and you can bet your last dollar that Aznou hasn't been deemed not good enough by our coaching staff as they will see he can be moulded into a first teamer in future hence why patience is required

Yes thats true. I remember some naysayers were saying Coleman wouldn't make it at the time and it might not of been on this site but somewhere else. The point is we as a club can't pick from the top shelf so we either buy peak age footballers with little shelf life like in the days of Moshiri or we buy younger more raw players who if they develop can take you much further down the line. For this strategy patience is required and not instant judgement especially in a Mickey mouse lower league cup where motivation for higher profile players won't be high

Well guys it’s your lucky day as this website was active in that period so thanks to the magic of the vaults, the all seeing noble vaults of righteousness, we can revisit that exact game and see who wrote off Coleman, and apply a stigma to them after 15 years of service from our Irish hero. Unless those persons grovel humbly and agree to not offer any strong footballing opinions of predictions again.

Just tickled me in the middle of B&M, look like a weirdo now, cheers mate.

Apart from the obvious of Glen keeley. Per Kroldrup at Villa park comes close.

Martina for me. The worst player I've seen play for us.

Back training so in contention for tomorrow (i would imagine a spot on the bench)

Doubt it myself.

He's back on the grarrrrrrss nymz. He'll be on the bench and im confident enough to bet you 10p that he is!

I think we’ll be very careful with him.

I hope he’s on the bench at least, even he gets minimal time on the pitch.

What is it with us, and injuries, FFS?!?
It’s ridiculous.

It’s starting to get to the point where we’ll have consider doing something drastic, like grafting adamantium onto our players bones, you know, Wolverine style.

Honestly I think Arsenal might be the most cursed in the league currently. Any time I think we're hard done by I take a peek at their injury lists.

Anyway I wouldn't be surprised if Rohl gets some minutes tomorrow even though he's only just back - with Keane out, Garner's probably playing RB so we'll be light in the middle.

We gave him about 8 contract extensions after that.

That was so weird. He was about 28 and still playing for the u23s!
