Heard a whisper James wants a two year deal we are only willing to offer one. Think that’s the sticking point.

I was there, this is correct!

Surely in the past every club were playing 4-4-2 with one big and one little striker, they didn’t negate each other. The main difference with modern football is every opponent is analysed in minute detail. Everybody knows your strengths, weaknesses in great detail. What every single players strengths, weaknesses are, where teams pass too, where players pass too etc. That’s what has made the game boring rather than formations imo.

How many sides in the prem, champ play with two strikers from the off currently? Can’t be many if any? Even league one and two days of sides playing with two strikers are diminishing.

Agree with the vast majority of what you’re saying but Danny Simpson, Andy king and James wouldn’t have been targeted but for Pearson, so not strictly true.

A lot of posters on here showing they weren’t in the ground on Tuesday.

How do you get the English version?

Keep going down to sc4. It’s Welsh channel on there. Only in Welsh though!

My son is often ball boy for another football league side. I thought the same, said why arnt you giving the ball back to the players and just sat there. They all get a ball on a cone in front of them, if player comes and takes ball from cone they get the ball that went out of play and replace it. They are told not to give the ball to the players.

They’ve changed the rules this season, players have to get the balls off of the cone in front of ball boys themselves. Then the ball boy just replaces the ball on the cone. Same at all clubs.

Sort of thing if rovers were doing it we would take the piss. Watford beat them at anfield a couple of seasons ago in the prem!! great result at the time but to hold a 30 year anniversary on the pitch sums up why we’ve never got to the prem. Happy to accept stuff like that as success. Anyway I look forward to the West Ham celebrations in 10 years

Palmer? Does Dasilva count!

Bristol city 0 Cardiff 6 Today was poor but worse ever, come on…

This. His pressing his terrible, just runs around for sake of running. Puts zero pressure on the ball, arrives at the player after they’ve already passed it. Like a dog chasing after a stick! Where he ran himself out of position randomly running knight had to go and press the furthest player but cornick didn’t think to cover knight, allowed them to play through us so easily. when he actually gets the ball he ain’t to bad out of possession an absolute headless chicken

Liam miller loved a drink and a dance floor! Him and goodfella used to always be in the world on a sat night!

Evatt and Liam manning I reckon are in the running.

Heard Backwell is meant to be on the bench

Is Bcfcshags Tommy Conway….

I reckon we sign two midfielders to replace Scott. A number 8 and a number 10. Pearson has said he is keen to add goals from midfield. Scott is so too we are going to be hard pushed to replace him like for like with one player, impossible. Be a good opportunity to get more legs and goals in the side from midfield. Goalkeeper is another, interesting if we go and try and get someone better than max or we bring in someone to compete with him. Interesting one there. Cb- depends on Naismith really. If he’s going to play left cb. We prob don’t need one. The links to Wrexham were random but wouldn’t surprise me if he did move on someone. Signed to play sweeper in a back 3, looks too error prone and not a good enough defender to play in a two imo. Looked decent in his cameo roles in midfield last season but a position he’s never really played before. If you go on Pearson and tinnions view that we want our teams to run all over other teams, it’s going to be hard to get him in the starting line up. James is a shoe in, with James and Naismith in there not the quickest. I actually think we looked a much better side with Naismith in it last season, but the way the team has evolved and the way it seems Pearson and Tinnion want the team to evolve wouldn’t suprise me if he did end up moving on too. number 10 number 8 gk poss cb

Bloody hell, you know you’re starting to get old if he is a manager now!!

This is just my guess of the situation. Clubs initially agree fee, goes up does the medical which shows up something. Would imagine the injury Pearson was talking about. Bolton come back to city and say we will still take him but try to lower the fee or the fee is all made up of appearance based payments. City weren’t having it. Due to the initial reporting that fee agreed and he was up there for a medical suggests it’s something to do with the medical. I’m pretty sure clubs can’t say he failed a medical either due to medical confidentiality.

He’s been working really hard since end of the season. Been in gym, one to one and small sessions with personal trainer pretty much everyday. Certainly putting the work in. Hopefully gets a second chance here, he’s got the ability. Prob more suited to rw spot for us.

Our results and performances with and without Naismith are like chalk and cheese. Would imagine he will be one of first names on the teamsheet

I’ve heard Alex turner is going to bring him out on stage tonight to announce his return.

Anything less than champions will be a massive failure.
