Looks really good, hopefully without X rated Vincent this time. That it is nearly live, and free, will really help get the club new fans. My family will love it. Other kids will love it. Nothing not to like as long as Parker is OK with it, being a quiet non showy chap unlike his predecessor.

Forgot to say, reading between the lines, I wonder if Sky or the club have cancelled MTB3 but Ad Hoc were already committed to filming, so a bit of a deal has been reached?

Must admit the trailer made me more tempted to watch than either of the Mission to Burnley series, which i didn't really bother with. Couldn't face reliving last season .

Club cancelled it. Pace said in a meeting that they thought it had run it's course but that there would be some behind the scenes footage for the fans.
This is obviously it.

You've got to love him
Discussing the derby, meanwhile, Connor Roberts made his feelings clear, commenting: “Burnley and Blackburn, it is hatred. We don’t like them at all.”

Love Connor Roberts’ passion!
Being a Swansea boy and their hatred of Cardiff, he totally gets it.

Not expecting to see as much of interest when the documentary is being made "in house" but it'll be worth a watch no doubt.

Anyone know how many of these there will be ? I’d be suprised if there was ever anything more than a “ no penalty option “ on “MTB3” though I’d guarantee there’s loads of unused footage , but probs legally watertight now VK ( and his ego) have gone .

I’ve never slagged off VK because all he did for us, however the manner in which Parker addresses those young men in comparison to VK is brilliant.
I’m still unsure about Parker (I know I shouldn’t be) but I think he’s such a likeable fella

Do we know what Kompany said in the dressing room
after we won the league at Ewood? And how he said it? Genuine question. I don't imagine he slagged the players off. Imagine it was pretty much word for word what Parker said.
Or are we talking about Kompany's team talks in the Prem, when the pressure was on and the players were disillusioned?
Doesn't seem a like for like comparison.

I expected it to be longer after such a big build up, but still a damn good watch.
Someone in the dressing room has the most appalling taste in music though!

I’d love to know what Kompany said when he gathered everyone around in the centre circle at full time of the final match. But I guess we’ll never know.

Enjoyed that.
Hope the conversation between Pace & Parker regarding Barnes was staged. Hopefully Parker gets more say in our signings that a quick “are you ok with that?” whilst he’s eating his Fruit & Fibre.

Yeah I noticed that. Definitely suggests Pace/the recruitment team are in charge of transfers now.
That’s why I’m never so certain that Kompany had the control people say. I think Pace is closer to recruitment than is suggested, although do accept there’s probably been a shift further that way since Kompany left.

I’m sure there were more conversations about it than that, but it did come over a bit like Parker had no say.

Brilliant watch. Echo others compliments to the club for doing this. Was hoping it’d be a bit longer but a great 8 minutes.
The more exposure the club gives fans to the club the closer they’ll feel to it.

Looked pretty staged. It’s clear to me Parker has had big involvement with our signings - not least Anthony and the clear pivot towards seasoned pros like Laurent, Egan and Worrall.
