His second of the season, he needs to come in for Koleosho, who needs a rest, I think.

After 4 defeats in 7, Watford have, as usual, have swung into action with their manager. Only, this time, they've extended his contract.

I think I need a lie down.

Just watched Micah Richards's analysis of Craig Dawson yesterday after he kept Haaland quiet. What an underrated player he is, it's such a shame that we never managed to sign him.

He was sitting in the crowd during one of our pre-season games at PNE, wasn't he?

Fretters

Anyone got a link please?

Koleosho has to force Trippier back early on and maybe go past him a couple of times.

Let Tripps run wild and it could be a long day.

Luca running at Tripps could be very interesting.

Sutton the guy who refused to play for England B as he thought it beneath him.His football knowledge fits neatly onto the end of a pin

He spoke about this quite recently, saying how much he regretted it.

Still a bit of a knob, though.

We go to the Woodsman pre and post-match and they now sell pies (£3, cash only). Definitely no need to pay the Turf prices now. Also an offy across the road for water and half time snacks!

This is kind’ve my point. I very much doubt that anyone WANTING to commit those acts, will be raking note of the screen. John, I'm more concerned by you inventing words! Kind've? :D Seriously though, I noticed it when I got to my seat, but not after that really. As people have said, it shows the PL...

Watford v West Brom was 2-2 after 23 minutes and finished that way. The Championship is weird!

Andre Gray at Reading in 2016 I would guess.

You could be right. Was that when they were messing with the penalty spot?

Fretters

In the very few we've had, we seem to have an extremely good record. I think Cornet in 21/22 at West Ham was the last to miss?

No idea who the last one prior to that was. Barnes, Wood and Jay always put them away.

Started it on my way to work and a good listen so far. Loved the bit about the goalkeeper's mum's ASDA delivery

Kompany said as much post-match, but playing a back four who played together last season definitely made a difference.

Fretters

'We’ve got Manuel Benson and Anass Zaroury from last season and added players such as Aaron Ramsey, Jacob Bruun Larsen, Nathan Redmond, Zeki Amdouni, Luca Koleosho and Wilson Odobert.' 'while, we’ve also got Han-Noah Massenga and Mike Trésor available, two players who signed just before the most rec...

He switched to a back three at Cheltenham but he didn't play an attractive style of football from when I saw them but he did a bloody good job there. He went to Barnsley and played similarly and I always thought he was a strange fit for Swansea. This is the article I've remembered:https://www.skysp...

Fretters

As I understand it his Cheltenham team played extremely attractive possession based football, even if Barnsley focused more on a high press. Yes, I remember him starting out with a Dyche style but then him saying he decided to go his own way, and the football became much more attractive (and very s...

Then usual posters will be offended by this announcement . Good news from the club.

The club have posted it on Facebook and the second comment is, "is there a Christian one?"

Young, highly regarded left back from a South Glasgow club, signed on our return to the top flight?

Hmmmm...should we be worried?

Hopefully more of an Andy Robertson than a Brian Easton

The amount of people that would have to be involved and keep there mouths shut for over 20 years for these conspiracies to be true shows that they aren’t true. Simple.

After CT's reference to the Mitre in his 1998 article, I looked it up and found this site: https://www.closedpubs.co.uk/lancashire/burnley.html Any memories stand out?

Fretters

A lot have referred to the pre-ordering system, but I've never used it. At half time against City and Villa, I just went to the bar in the Longside upper (furtherst towards the cricket field), queued, ordered my pint and received it there and then. How do you even use the pre-ordering system and how...

Fretters

the fans will bitch even louder at the owner if he dares to take any money out of 'their' club to try to recoup the money that he's poured into it. Agree with this. It's like claiming the local cinema is yours just because you pay to go every other week, then telling the people who actually do own ...

Not forgetting Sander Berge. So that makes two central midfielders.

True, think pickles meant defensive ones, though.

Don't think he lost his place, wasn't it more to do with the weird Nigel Pearson freezing him out as he wouldn't sign a new deal

Ah, I didn't know that, thanks.

Interestingly I saw an article on him recently by ‘Total Football Analysis’ who have a paid subscription service for their player scouting reviews / general analysis, they likened his profile to Moises Caicedo. Here’s the link, you might be able to get an article or two for free: https://x.com/tota...

To proper football fans yes, but the majority of people watching on Sky are just casual fans who probably haven’t even heard of the likes of Salford city. Sky have over 30 years of data and that data shows the big clubs always bring in more viewers no matter who they play. More viewers means more a...

I also agree with some of Simon's points about recruitment. Lots of positives but to say we've spent so much, there are still gaping holes in the squad which every supporter identified even half way through last season. Not to bring in the central midfielder/s and the the left back/s we need is ver...

Sitting in 12th in League One and it seems like the fans are getting twitchy about their latest owner, so he's released a statement.

https://www.blackpoolfc.co.uk/news/2023 ... the-owner/

Seems like a decent chap and far removed from the Oyston days.

Fretters

Why do they think people want to watch teams who play each other every week? Surely Salford v Burnley is more appealing to the neutral. I really don't get it.

Fretters

He references Kompany talking to players before deals have been agreed, and this seems to be happening all over now. When did 'tapping up' stop being a thing?

Fretters

I keep thinking about a performance by Norwich at the Turf, just after they'd been promoted by winning the Championship under Farke. They persevered with playing out from the back and we just pressed them, using our power to beat them easily, and they were mocked by our fans (on here too) for trying...

Muric hasn’t played with this defence?

If we Include Tuesday night, all of them played in front of him.

Fretters

Need the international break. Need Taylor, Cork and Brownhill more involved too i.e. PL experienced players. Also, PLEASE, let's try Muric. The defence seem to much calmer with him behind them.

Fretters

Why did a manager who likes to throw young, inexperienced players in, loan out Owen Dodgson when he isn't going to play Taylor?

Out of his depth for England maybe, but a better centre half than any we have.

Also the holding midfielder we're crying out for.

Fretters

I'd still contact the club. It's their responsibility to ensure it reaches you in a suitable condition (I.e. well packaged, suitable courier) and they'll probably replace it for you, or offer a refund. I'm speaking as the owner of an ecommerce business here. We'd then claim off the courier ourselves...

Fitness looked a worry yesterday, we looked very tired. It's odd that we started our pre-season so early only to throw in so many players that haven't benefitted from that. I think we had four players in the starting 11 yesterday who had that long pre-season - maybe 5 as I can't remember when O'Shea...

After being fleeced for a lukewarm pie at the City game, I nipped into Lee's chippy at the bottom of Tod Road yesterday. £2.80 for chips and gravy and I could have got a pie for £1.80 as opposed to £4.20 on the ground. The quality was great too, but it was cash only.

Fretters

He seemed to be in the right place a lot, but what was he doing against Watkins to let him get a shot in during the second half? Bizarre non-challenge. Thankfully Trafford made a good point blank save.

Fretters

Thought he was poor for the first and third goals. I might be harsh on the third, but he seemed to dive in slow motion.

Muric should be given the shirt IMO, take JT out of the limelight for a bit.

Just found this thread after commenting on Tony's article.

My best memory of Stretch is the cross he put in at Derby for Cooke's winner. I'd never even seen us score against Premier League opposition at that point, so to win there felt incredible.

Worst memory is the back pass at Bradford!

Fretters

I was delighted when we got Swanny back, just a shame he suffered so much with injuries.

Stretch was a good signing but I remember the fans never really taking to him.
