Forget 'Row M' this stand might not have a Row A, or B, or C.....

Indeed - it's a hell of a return for one season!!! ??

looking by some of the replies

Probably not that long It will probably also be accompanied by such guff as ".... could do a job for us" - essentially implying they could do better, but would at a push "settle" for one of our released players. The reality is our released players are in most cases likely going to find themselves better clubs than that lot.

ahem..... about that....

If this happens this little beauty below might come in handy for "Wally the watch". While it does not specifically mention cigars as a risk it protects against. It does say "Our lightweight, compact and well-balanced faceshields feature various options including flame resistant faceseals for applications with hot particles."

To paraphrase: We got beaten by a "glorified rugby team" with no fans. The same "rugby" team 6 points clear of the team coached by this self style "Messiah"? I think that says everything we need to know about Joey's abilities as a manager.

I heard Kim Jong Un considered his reporting to be too biased, and therefore likely to lack the level of credibility North Korea looks for in their reporting.

My recollection is most definitely not that either. I remember he was capable of making crunching tackles if needed, though admittedly it was not something he did frequently. In his previous spell with us I recall he often had the better of much taller players in the air. His jumping ability was so good that it often put him in danger as he went "over the top" of taller opponents, with a few incidents of him landing awkwardly on head/neck. However If he went down injured you knew he was actually hurt, and he shook off a few "reducers" from opposing full backs when attacking. His main weakness I felt was that he would often be out of position (or switch off?) and this would cause us problems with opponents "getting in behind" or getting on the end of crosses when he should have been defending the back post. You can obviously argue if that was down to the individual or coaching, systems. tactics. He also had a tendency to try and win the ball high up the field, and if the winger/forward evaded the tackle it could result on opponents bearing down on goal. While he is not most definitely not on teh same level this is pretty much the same criticism you will see of Trent Alexander-Arnold. As others said going forward he was often very good, his crossing was decent and if he came inside and attacked the box he was capable of scoring wonder goals like we saw against Rovers, Swindon, Palace and Man Utd. I seem to recall him scoring a free kick or two (including one that got Fulham promoted) . Him and Pring in tandem on the left would be exceptionally strong IMO. Both good athletes, capable of carrying the ball at pace and with an obvious threat - both capable of defending.

Replay suggested it would have been a bit soft, but the sort of incident you often see them given for.

The shape on that cross ?

Some of their comments beggar belief "I would love a 40-45 thousand stadium capacity" So more than Villa Park, Stamford Bridge, Hillsborough, Goodison, Elannd Road? for a club that averages 7-9K? For comparison sake this is like us saying we need a 100K capacity, it is a x5 multiple! "fast foward straight to phase 2 of the build as we will most likely be in the Prem by then." Based on what? being 15th in League One and being regular whipping boys to most decent teams in their division this season? They have never been in the top division in their history, and have not as far as i know ever threatened to do so. The gap between League One and Chamionship is now huge as evidenced by the number of clubs that have gone straight back down in recent seasons. At the top end of the championship the number of clubs without Parachute Payments getting promoted is ridiculously small, and those that do have usually invested in their squad to a level rovers can only dream of - Andy Tilson is STILL their record signing by all accounts. I think most gasheads are envisioning a stadium that is a "smaller version" of the Tottenham stadium (no expense spared) what they are much more likely to get without them funding it is a basic concrete build with limited facilities - which as far as I can tell they will not own? So all the talk of concerts etc. won't matter as they will be lining the pockets of Congyar or whoever operates the development. Coventry MK II looms - it's going to be fun!

The only tall structure in that image is the big Screen, so clearly the bobbles are a conspiracy from that "rosy cheeked lady garden" and his evil band of "Gurt Teds". Case closed.

From "Honest" Joe - "for what I think is a yellow card tackle for a bit of frustration from a young player, he gives a straight red card." The tackle was late, from behind, performed with a scissor motion, likely to injure the opponent... oh and followed up with a headbutt (or putting the forehead forcibly into the face of joe morrell) in the confrontation that inevitably followed.

??? They'll be "needing snookers" to get promoted. There are 9 games left - Their maximum points total is now 72, so I think we can put the "promotion chasing" phrase to bed. They still have to play 5 of the top 7 plus the teams in 10th,11th and 12th - They have one match against a team below them (port Vale).

I expect it will be a case of the above too!

So if the actual playoff candidates went on a long 100% losing streak it would take the gas half of their remaining games to catch up. Sheffield Wednesday, leading the division, have scored 2.24 pts per game over the season so far. If the gas manage that for the rest of the season they would be around 5 or 6 pts clear of the current playoff chasers. It would be almost inconceivable for them to get promoted from where they are now. I'd like to be the first to wish the gap an early happy birthday for October 2023.

I think you may be on the wrong website?

That bench ! Man city's is pretty decent too.

I think the quotation marks in this post are very apt. Part of the evident appreciation for Hummel was perhaps that a lot of fans viewed Hummel as a "premier" shirt manufacturer for their history of supplying famous teams and iconic kits over the years. But it is just that "history". Their chosen distributor going out of business left us high and dry. I asume our legal team had break clauses in the six year contract (watertight?) which were realised when that happened. There have been a lot of complaints on the fourm over the lack of availability of Kit in the shop from fans. Commercially this situation would have been disastorous for the club in reecnt months (missed opportunities at Christmas, and during our recent good run with bigger gates). It sounds very much like the club have been now been backed into a corner by this turn of events - On the face of it it seems to me like thery have made a pro-active decision to change to next seasons Kit now to prevent the problems that could be caused by not having enough Kit for the players. This deal will also bring in revenue, as they can start selling Kit in the shop again soon.

Maybe for that wait until there are a bunch of them queueing for tickets?
