Reading the Huddersfield message board online they're not best pleased with Dean Hoyle for this. They say Carlos Corberán has been given no money to spend. Reports a rival club have approached him and Huddersfield fans mentioning Wagner, Dyche and Rooney as possible new managers. It would be the ul...

Might explain why we've not been linked to any left-backs.

And the fact we've offered him a 3 year contract suggests that Kompany sees him as playing a role alongside Taylor this season.

tiger76

No guarantees but that surely weakens them. Does that leave these teams as the favourites for Top 6? Burnley Norwich WBA Watford Sheff U Boro Of course there will be a few surprise packages along the way, there always is. Definitely a big loss for Huddersfield. And those 6 are the ones I'd expect t...

I'm amazed at some of the comments regarding Dwight on this thread, sure he didn't enjoy a good season last year, but he certainly wasn't alone in that. And now we're in the Championship, plus under new management with Kompany he'll thrive, and I'll wager he'll be in the Championship team of the sea...

Do you think Bastien is a replacement for Brownhill? Looking at his stats, he breaks up play, has 2.2 interceptions, has the energy but has over 80% successful pass completion. Seem very similar but for the end result. It's possible I suppose, and if selling Brownhill for a decent fee allows us to ...

A win for England, but plenty to improve on for future games.

Austria threatening a late equaliser here.

No idea how Surrey threw that away, but brilliant death bowling by Jordan Thompson when all seemed lost for Yorkshire/

tiger76

Surrey in danger of making a mess of this chase, 73 from 42 needed, but wickets falling.

tiger76

Another huge chance for England right on HT, but Austria hanging on, and well it's only 1-0 they are still right in this contest.

Pleasing that England are creating chances, but we need to be more clinical.

tiger76

Should have been 2, big miss by Ellen White.

tiger76

Goal given, 1-0 England, Beth Mead, that might settle England down after a nervy start.

tiger76

An early wicket for Yorkshire, but they'll do well to defend 160.

Lancs have signed the New Zealander Williams as a local player.

Might be available Friday.

Good signing that, and with all these international call-up's we'll need all hands on deck.

tiger76

Just about to KO, and OT is noisy, no prawn sandwich brigade tonight.

tiger76

Completely ready to eat my words if it comes to it but the Championship is not the quality it once was. It is competitive but the actually quality has dropped in recent years. Covid has had a big impact on a lot of the teams finances, just look at how few have signed players. Even if we have a roug...

Don't think it's been mentioned, but American Pie by Don McLean is incredibly poignant.

Not really a huge Elvis fan, but I can totally appreciate what an iconic figure he was in the early years of rock n roll.

Looking at the teams involved did the Jocks not bother with this tournament as well ?

You'll be shocked to discover Scotland failed to qualify.

What would you have said then if someone told you we're not going to lose another Championship game until 2022 at least.

I'd have thought they'd need certifying, funny how that debacle at Hull turned out to be a blessing in disguise.

tiger76

5 now with Bastien confirmed, but plenty have also gone out, so we'll surely be looking at another 4/5 minimum, even if no-one else departs.

And all the newbies are 25 or under, so we'll certainly see the average age drop dramatically, which is no bad thing TBH.

Where are you travelling from tiger ?

Glasgow, but the hold-up's usually happen once I reach Preston, hence why I've allowed some extra time in the event of cancellations.

tiger76

Do you think there would have been a lot of options for strikers willing to join a relegation fight and being available ? Newcastle could have spent anything and managed to get Wood for 25m due to a release clause. What would the comments be had we signed nobody to replace Wood and gone down ? Some...

Great to hear you’ll be getting back on the Turf at last, tiger.

Cheers I only hope the trains are reliable, I won't get too many games this season, but Kompany's 1st home game seemed a fitting occasion to make the journey.

tiger76

Should be a good tournament, and England do have a genuine shot at lifting the title.

Phil on talk sport most of this morning. Talking about how he felt undervalued with not been told he wasn't being retained until late on. Speaks highly of the club but it does seem odd. Similar to Dale Stephens then, and communication doesn't seem great from the club does it. I thought we might hav...

What a bad day that was. Couldn't get home to my bit of Yorks because of the floods, had to spend a night in Hell. Sorry, Hull.

Hull's not that bad is it.

tiger76

Gone but never forgiven as someone posted earlier, serious questions need asking about giving him a contract that didn't include playing in the Championship,if we went down. Yes in hindsight that was bizarre, if he knew he wouldn't have to play in the championship, then why would he bust a gut to k...

His miss at Villa cost us massively - no wonder Roberts made a remark to him That miss will live long in the memory, and given it was in the dying minutes we'd almost certainly have gone to claim all 3 points. No guarantee that would have changed what happened on the final day, but we'd have been f...

Our last Championship defeat was Boxing Day 2015 at Hull, and it was hard to imagine that day would be the catalyst for what came next.

tiger76

Wow! that finished quickly didn't it, I was reading about WW going to Turkey, and when I looked back it was all over.

2 fantastic 5 set matches today.

Norrie-Novak in the last 4.

tiger76

Showed glimpses of early promise, the assist to set up Jay against Utd, and that cracking finish at Brighton, then he seemed to lose interest, and his attitude isn't what we need if we're to bounce back. At least if Besiktas are funding his wages that's better than nothing I suppose, but we'll be lu...

Norrie match going down to the wire, 5-4 in the 5th, and too close to call.

Norrie serving to stay in the match though.

Get a class striker in now and it's a perfect window.

Quality striker is now essential, plus keeping the likes of Collins.

tiger76

Don't know much about him, apart from the snippets I've read on here, but it appears we now possess a genuine midfield play-maker at long last. And a modest fee to boot, even better if that allows us to now pursue other targets, namely a striker, with Bastien, McNeil and Twine creating they shouldn'...

This England team simply don't know when they're beaten, in all 4 tests so far this summer, England had their backs to the wall several times, but they responded in the best possible manner. And now sides will be thinking what on earth can we set them that'll be enough, 378 certainly wasn't for Indi...

Blatant cop out by the authorities, but I suppose they had to be seen to take action.

Carnage this morning I thought it might still be tricky with 120 needed, but this pair are cruising home.

Changing the ball again, I don't know why they bother, England just hit it to the boundary anyway.

Root is probably the best batsman in the world now. Tough for them both having to restart having both got into the 70s but 60 added in 50 minutes. Superb stuff. I don't think there's any question Root is the best batsman in world cricket, and what is noticeable is he is now converting virtually eve...

Brilliant, brilliant century for Root.

28th test 100 for Root, and the way he's going he'll soon pass Cook's 33 tons.

Ball number 3 of the day.

It's becoming ridiculous how often the balls are being changed now.

And yet another delay to proceedings, no wonder over rates are so shambolic this summer.

9th ball change of this test alone.

300 up anyway.

tiger76

It's all about opinions but I think most consider Ian Wright and Mitchell Thomas to have been big successes. Gazza is the stand out for me. Totally agree on Ian Wright, without him we might not have gained automatic promotion that season, and would have to have endured the lottery of the play off's.

tiger76

Under 100 needed now, and runs coming quickly again.
