Re: Square pegs in round holes
I'm afraid VK has some blind spots in his thinking. We have one right back who for some reason is playing left back. We have one left back, who for some reason can't even get in the squad. All this talk about Taylor not fitting the system is nonsense. We are unable to impose our 'system' on the oppo...

Re: For close followers of our younger players
On the few occasions I have seen him play the young full back Cooney, currently on loan at Morecambe, has always impressed me. As previously mentioned the step up to Premier League is huge but he is certainly out of the Trippier mould.

Responding to dpinsussex from the now locked previous thread (Burnley v Coventry Under 23's latest), the goalkeeper Billson had a very good game and made some vitalsaves. The striker Bimou scored the goal and was a threat all afternoon. Looked like he picked up an injury near the end.
