Passing Clouds

I seem to have added to your comment Elizabeth!

I was looking at the profile of DR Congo international Wissa who has proved very successful at Brentford from a relatively unknown beginning in France. He played in the first and second divisons in France up to the age of 24. Joined Brentford the first season they were promoted on a 4 year contract...

Passing Clouds

Yeah well said. I also think the support players around him are important. To share the goal threat

Passing Clouds

Yeah, Lyle seems more suited to Prem life in a way. Fast and physical. Just mentality…

What’s the profile for a new striker? Examples?

Passing Clouds

Is he good enough to lead our front line in the Prem?

He has desire, plus good ability and physicality. I think he is still learning with the help of Bashley - could even turn into our new Barnes.

I think he deserves a chance…

Passing Clouds

We're not there this year unfortunately. Day 1 at Glastonbury ( or at least that's when the BBC will have you believe it starts) Bands watched Supergrass, Shed Seven, English Teacher, Blossoms, Biffy Clyro ( nothing after that on the BBC appealed with their narrowness of what a viewer wants ) and A...

I mean I go back a bit and probably thinking James/Thomas/Morley/Cochrane - cant remember if any of those played together in the same teams.
However these two are bloody impressive!

Zaroury and Benson were fun to watch.

Couldn’t really tell you who our wingers were in the last Prem campaign!

Passing Clouds

They are definitely not Boyd and Arfield. (Who were brilliant for us but not natural wingers IMO)

Passing Clouds

The way he takes a ball down from the sky in one fluent move!!! Since Edwards joined we have looked far more cohesive and creative. He adds balance and danger. Yeah agree. Really elegant footballer. The contrast with Edwards is interesting. He has a really low centre of gravity and is explosive. An...

Passing Clouds

Anthony deserves a load of credit this year. Stuck at it when we weren’t so fluent and really blossomed 2nd half of the season. Great attitude and plenty of ability.

Passing Clouds

Are we signing him btw? Was it built into the loan deal?

Passing Clouds

Yeah. I didn’t get the impression that Edwards was fully fit. He did well, but excited to see him with a full pre season under his belt.

Passing Clouds

I’m a terrible watcher tbh. I could get up in the night to seek out the game on some dodgy stream. But it would ruin me ha ha!

Passing Clouds

I’m sure a lot of Aussie Clarets can relate to waking up on a Sunday morning with a pit in their stomach. Anxious to see the result. I never look on clarets Mad. Always BBC Championship. I woke in the middle of the night for Sheffield Utd. It’s worse on the midweek games. I get up and have to follow...

I watched ‘say nothing’ over the holidays, not on Netflix or prime but worth hunting out. As IMDB says, it spans four decades of the troubles in northern ireland. Based on a series of interviews with combatants on both sides called the Belfast project, it’s superb. Watching this. It’s excellent. Fa...

Forio not ‘firing’

Passing Clouds

Yeah I’ve been a few times. Beautiful island. Stayed in Saint Angelo which is stunning. Firing is a short bus ride. There’s a nice square in Forio for eating etc. The Castello Aragonese in the main town, Port Ischia? was interesting. We went to the Giardini La Mortella which was lovely if you like p...

Its only half embarrassment

You're focusing on the nil instead of focusing on the nil.....

Ha ha nice one!

You’re a glass half nil kinda guy

A bit nil disparandum if you ask me

Passing Clouds

It’s a good debate. Very little between them for me, if I had to pick one I’d probably go Barnes. Don’t be blinded by the Barnes stereotype, he was a very clever footballer in his prime. I’m talking technically. Agree Barnes was clever and effective and definitely had quality as he bagged a few in ...

He's not, similar in quality but he's not

Sorry, but Jay is an infinitely better player technically than Barnes. Surely anyone can see this.

Barnes is/was undoubtedly effective, but technically not comparable.

Passing Clouds

Could this be our Brentford away moment for 2024/25 In that game we gave one of the best first halves I've ever seen from a Burnley team at this level. 3-0 up at half time and coasting, I was pretty sure we'd win the league after that. Oh and on that day Tarkowski wasn't in the Brentford 11 as he w...

Passing Clouds

Defending our goal is helping us big time

Joint top

Passing Clouds

… just on Koleosho. I thought he was really good tbh. Fast, aggressive and often chose a simple pass. If he can add more quality to his finishing and final ball happy days. I do get that more often than not he’s frustrating, but we need to be patient.

Passing Clouds

Talking to a Galatasary supporting friend who was raving about Nelsson, the Danish CH we have been linked with. He said he was left sided. Bash included, we are obviously looking at contingencies in this area…

Passing Clouds

Trafford Roberts ER Esteve Humphreys -------Cullen Laurent Anthony Brownhill Koleosho ----------Flemming This is a game for the extra midfielder, and whilst you can argue either way between Sarmiento and Koleosho, I thought Koleosho was more effective on Wednesday and provides more natural balance ...

Passing Clouds

Interesting. The ambition of CJs passing is far greater than ESteve. His long range passing is excellent. He’s also strong and got a good footballing brain and seems a top character. Esteve is just so calm, composed - almost minimal in the way he plays. Just wins his battles and keeps it simple. Tho...

Passing Clouds

3 wins in the 3 games started. Pays to have some real nous and ability up front. Like Barnes 2 seasons ago. Well done Jay!

Passing Clouds

Just watched the interview with him and it struck me how ‘young’ he was. CJ too tbh.

Awful that Trafford wasn’t looked after better by Kompany and also the abuse he got from the stands.

Passing Clouds

GM Maestro. 70 quid Standish Sports. Couldn’t believe my parents agreed to it.

Passing Clouds

Liked the reply from on Hanibal. I feel he’s growing game by game. Massive potential that Parker obviously recognises. Probably reflects the team really. Exciting work in progress…

Passing Clouds

I think it’s a tough call but if Brownhill isn’t signing a new contract, we have to go with Hannibal next to Cullen.

Surely Fleming coming in would fill Brownhills goal quota and actually help Foster, who desperately needs a partner and is crucial to us getting promoted.

The Cedar Room - Doves

Passing Clouds

I have really fond memories of Maurice Catlow. Spent many a freezing cold morning in his hut at Towneley whilst my dad was refereeing for St Teds. I’d help him make the post match tea for all the kids. Never forget the heaps of nets, footballs, the pile of coal he’d use to fuel his stove and smell o...

Passing Clouds

Hate to bring this thread back to life. But I’ve heard Massengo is interested in the move to Auxerre and they are back in for him (haven’t checked but French window still open I think)

Passing Clouds

Everyone should dip into this thread for a cleanse!

We have already had a languid glen little.

It was glen little.

(Great player though)

Mejbri scored a free kick identical to Robbie Blake’s v Spurs.

Though Mejbri runs around a bit too much to be the new Robbie Blake!

Passing Clouds

Just watched the highlights reels on the three players linked. Some impressions…

Sarmiento- tricky show off
Anthony- languid Glen Little
Mejbri - the reel (from Birmingham season) was 11 mins I think and I was glued to it. All action. Trickery, passing, tackling with an edge. Very impressive.

Passing Clouds

Maybe you should do your research on the lad from Celtic. Michael Johnston has yet to prove he can get regular assists in a season. 15 assists in 8 seasons isn't to get excited about. Yeah he had a good second half of the season in the championship with West Brom but he only assisted twice. I was b...

Passing Clouds

Yep, sadly because of all the sales we need players who walk into the starting 11 if we have any promotion ambition Yeah agree. We invested too heavily in potential IMO. I get the impression that the plan has changed a bit (eg Worrall) and the age of the squad looks likely to be heading 26 ish I th...

Passing Clouds

Looking forward to bringing in wingers who are more productive than Vitinho & Koleosho. One is a good squad player and the other has potential but we should be looking at players with regular assists and goals this season (guy from Celtic for example) I’m staying positive. Part of me can’t believe w...

I’m a sucker for punishment I know but a starting XI of…

Trafford

Roberts
Worral
Esteve
Bashir (don’t rate Pires)

Cullen
Brownhill

Vitinho
Amdouni
Koleosho

Foster

Still sounds v competitive in this league

Passing Clouds

… Anyway, back to the football…

Just watched the first half. Gosh Koleosho had a stinker (other than scoring!)

Would love to see Anass there against Sunderland.

Wonder if he’d have started instead of J Rod had he been healthy anyway.

I worked with Roy and he was my next door neighbour and he was and still is a wonderful guy

Played in a few of Roys teams. Brilliant bloke and good to hear he’s still around.

His son Gary was a good player too

Aye ! That will mostly be down to a certain lad who played for them who was shall we say a little “highly strung” ! I played for St Teds OB for years - in one game against George IV up at Fennyfold the lad knocked out his own brother who was playing in his own team. Happy days though and miss it a ...

Passing Clouds

Used to play for The Angels in the 90s. A very useful team indeed!

Seem to remember George IV game being a bit lively

Be interested to know how you know Benson doesn’t have the attributes for the prem?

In my opinion the physicality, trackbackability or temperament of a modern Prem winger. We didn’t get the chance to see though which would have been nice
