Lrrr

Actually statistically Max is a more then fair Championship keeper & ranks in the top half

90 mph as well, will be interesting seeing him in England

Perhaps with Tottenham to play they’ll make an exception with the quality facilities/pitch etc they’ll have. With u21’s you just don’t want to send them long distance to play on some substandard pitch which may increase risk of injury again.

Less convinced by that one

Certainly some managerial changes have made the bottom of League 2 exciting, Cotts at FGR, Cowley's at Colchester, Robinson at Salford, Artell at Grimsby

Was exactly my reaction, vegan pies being thrown everywhere Are we moving on to 'job for LJ?'

Weird how Bashir gets approved the day before the first test, as if we’d applied a couple of days earlier he’d have been able to fly with everyone

All you have to do is play it before a certain date, you don’t get told what day you have to play it also the original date was scheduled for the training ground too

Its a piss take as the squad was announced ages ago, how far back do you have to go through someones bloodline before its okay to have had a relative from Pakistan to get a visa without issue for India...

The main part that isn't good enough is that the game is being played at the training ground rather than at Ashton Gate, the whole point of the youth cup was that young players got to experience stadium environments and we're taking that away from our young players, its supposed to be the main event of the under 18's season.

May not have been on the OS but I'd guess more people would see it on social media and the academy account put something out yesterday that was retweeted by the main account

They really didn’t learn their lesson with vegas and the time of year it was

So at 19 turning 20 he gets to have one pre season before gets written off…. Great to know

Well it will be interesting to see when McCroie is capable of repeated 90 mins, for now someone has to come on there for

Or they just don't want wages being spent on players who'll barely get on the pitch, experience is great, but its better when its spent on people who'll play

Perhaps he doesn't see him there. Perhaps often back 4's are easier to coach principles into, out of possession style is definitely easier as we saw how we would drop into a 442, easiest OOP system to use.

Available players, if Knight-Lebel not deemed to be ready yet then he’s needed Tanner at RB, Bell probably not trusted for 90 at wing back, so until he’s had McCrorie allowing Tanner to tuck in he’s stuck with a back 4

I don’t think anything necessitated the change, I said since he’s come in that I think he wants to play the back 3 with the box as his preferred shape

Imagine when they would have a female match official

If it was the only way to keep us in the running sure, hard to think it would be the case though.

My only disappointment would be him not being moved up to say league 2 if being loaned out again, he’s succeeding at national league level, he did very well against Stockport and therefore think a loan for the rest of the season would be a really good indicator as to where he’s at.

You assume the negotiations weren’t just straight club to club for Twine?

Unless you know what that loan fee is then it’s impossible to say whether we’re paying too much

Again you say we're throwing money at it by loaning Twine without any evidence that this is the case We've loaned out Weimann covering you'd imagine is a good amount of Twine's wage so we've swapped one we wouldn't have used much due to his clause for an extra year and got in one that Manning will use.

You'd probably have to dig out a good few rows at the front of the upper tier where the media are as you'd need the first row of fans behind to be able to see over the people standing on the new gantry. Then you have the issue of the current gantry built into the stand unless you tried converting that to media area with desks running the whole way along
