Re: Average Player Ratings to end of September
You know he scored 3 and we and him were cheated out of 2. It just highlights that he could score 20 and you would say he was lucky they all bounced in by accident. 1. He’s scored one goal. 2. He’s never scoring 20 goals at any level. 3. Based on your logic, Dubravka’s amazing amount of clean sheet...

Re: 2025/26: Aston Villa v Burnley – Ticket Information
My tickets have arrived but we’ve been given seats that we didn’t originally purchase. Completely different block. Can they do that? I purposely waited until Q3 became available as it was nearer the half way line but have been given seats in Q1.

There is no team in the Prem, from which, either home or way, we can EXPECT 3 points. Every point is precious and very hard earned.

Re: Summer 2025 BFC Transfer Window - Links and discussion on the Linked player only.
If we were linked with Mikautadze, you’ve got to think that we’re in for another forward….
Centre half, midfielder (hopefully Luis) and another forward/number 10 required - 3 players. All need to be better than we currently have. No need for squad fillers - we’ve got a big enough squad already!

Why can’t all 3 of them play together? Look at Newcastle, for example. Their midfield 3 are considered ‘number 8’ but they all play in the same team.
Also could play a 5-3-2 with Anthony taking the RWB role.

Will be interesting to see how he does. Hopefully he gets a lot f game time and someone can coach some sort of improvement.
No doubt he will get better each passing week with some on here during his time away when we’ll undoubtedly be struggling but personally I don’t think we’ll miss him at all.
