Apologies, I setup what I suppose is now an OTIB 'rebel' league...the code for that is 9js97n, a dozen or so of us on there thus far.

Sorry for stepping on your toes, although I suppose there is no harm in having two competitions running in tandem :laugh:.

I shall most certainly join your original one as well!

Ha ha. Think that'll be the third OTIB league. Someone did the same 2 years ago. 

Join code for classic is 9zsr2a

Don't know why this has gone from my last post.

join code for head 2 head league is as original post.

Oops. Sorry guys. The OTIB league is this code - 9zsr2a

I put a different one into the first post. Please ignore that one.

For anyone interested, Championship Fantasy Football at https://www.gaffr.io/team

Join code for OTIB league is QzsdShiO1kyJoHiS-75sRw

That time of the year.

If you were in the Premier Fantasy OTIB last year, you'll just rejoin it this. But if you weren't and want to join, use the join code - css48f

Have also set up a OTIB head to head league this year. Join code - rd4ui4

I just wonder if we're no longer looking for another cb as back up and he's happy for Vyner to do that role as he is also versatile. If he's sorted his attitude out maybe Pearson is OK with that.

Looking like Vyner seems to be starting a lot of games. Anyone else feel like he's been given another chance after being bombed out last season? Heard him and Dasilva involved in stuff with Bakinson but looks like he's taken his chance to prove he has the right attitude.

Anymore codes?

Seb Palmer-Houlden and Josh Owers. 

Thanks. Ah thats why I didn't recognise him. He's the young striker isn't he? He was struggling on the bleep test. 

Who was the brown haired guy on the far left on the bench after the bleep test with the ball? He was seriously blowing and then it went down the line to Wells.

I love it. Still a bit meh about the home kit but that is ace. Would buy that one.

They can say what they want but terminating a contract for no valid reason is a breach of employment law

Couldn't they mutually agree to the termination?

Williams was just immense today. We need to have him as our midfield linchpin for years to come imo.

No, not the Williams “Front Sweeper” position, but…

…the halftime switch of Massengo and Scott, from Scott marking Crooks, to switching him with Massengo.  Quite possibly  because Nige was worried that Scott was on a yellow (as was Crooks) that it made sense to not allow the clever Crooks to suck him into a loose challenge.

Massengo had spent a frustrating first half working his nuts off chasing their midfield around with little opportunity to get on the ball.  Scott was finding it hard against the physicality of Crooks who was coming short and then trying to spin in behind, or vice-versa.  Scott did well, but he didn’t get on the ball much either.

Second half the two started to get on the ball, Crooks getting a taste of his own medicine as Massengo  started to run him back towards his own goal. Scott breaking forward too.

Some of Scott’s defensive positioning second half belied his tender years / inexperience.

Well done Nige and also Han and Alex obviously.

Agree it made a massive difference. I noticed it straight away and thought it made our midfield looked much more balanced.

But think HNM would have got a rollicking after for a number of errors - his 1st half pass back, giving the ball away in the 2nd half and staying down then eventually getting up and half heartedly chasing back(both NP and CF looked apoplectic from the far side and telling him to get back and sort out his mistake) and then not playing the ball into the corner near the end and allowing them to have another break in search of an equaliser.

Overall I was impressed with HNM but these errors showed his lack of experience and game management.

I’d try downsy@bcfc.co.uk

You will probably get a shout out pre-game or h-t as a minimum.  Might even get to be the higher or lower entrant.  He likes to be called Downsy, not Ian!!!

I eventually got a response from the supporters email and it is Downsy but with a .

Glad I did as you were right, looks like he might get to be playing the higher, lower game.

Thanks. I found an article on the website from the beginning of the 2019 season saying that's what they would do and I'm sure that was the email address but when I tried emailing, it wouldn't send.

Do you have tickets yet..? 

Yeah. Got that part sorted.

Hi, can anyone help?

Taking my 9yr old to his first City match for his birthday in Feb to watch Boro.

Wondered if the club still do anything for children's first matches? Know they used to give caps but that has stopped.

Thanks in advance.

Can’t ever remember when we had the players to put out two quality Champoinship teams within four days

I wouldn't quite go that far but definitely shows how strong the squad is.

Seriously people saying they will take us to pens or we may lose a scrappy match. If we can’t beat a league two side with that team then we do have problems.

It made me realise how strong a squad we have.

Just seen it. Traore  nearly put Hourihane into the stand.

QPR 0 - 1 Millwall

Someone a bit keen against their former club maybe?

James Wilson gets Walsall`s equalizer at the mem - is he the one we used to have?

Yep the very same one. Joe Edwards also playing.
