I don’t disagree…more arguing the point if you contact them in an unpleasant way you’re less likely to get what you want.

Yes, but if you approach them in a nice,pleasant, non-entitled way, it’s surprising what they will agree to do. Build a bit of rapport with people and they will give more back. That’s all I did re the full match uploads. Yep.

In the OS post tonight.

Tomorrows ref is John Busby.

McLaughlin had a nice left foot.

From what @Lrrrtold me, PDL games are supposedly be added to Wyscout, so hopefully I can clip the goals. If I can I will share in here…assuming club don’t run a highlights on YouTube.

Let me pose this…do you think it was a good strategy? Is any strategy that pretty much relies on one major income method (transfer profit) a good strategy? It’s the equivalent of the stock market and “putting all your eggs in one basket”…which any IFA would advise you not to do. Most weren’t solid….we lost money overall on players signed and sold in Ashton’s time here…and that was in an inflationary market. Its easy to look at “transfer profit” in the accounts but ignore wage increases, amortisation increases. I could write reams and reams on this. All Covid did was expose the strategy. I have been for 4 years plus. Unprecedented medically, not unprecedented in football, e.g. On Digital. It was a disaster waiting to happen. Nige never had LJ’s squad. The key players like Brownhill, Pack, Webster, etc, were gone during LJ’s time. LJ did okay (this isn’t a LJ debate)…the powers above were reckless. SL included….quite the opposite of how he ran HL!

Engvall was NOT sold for a fee anywhere near what we paid for him. Paid circa £1.5m, got circa £200k for him. Rumours (unsubstantiated) that agent fees were £600k on signing too! Djuric went for far less. Lucic, Hegeler and Hinds went for zip. Tomlin went for £1m less.

Yep, Moore looked really quick that night. As you say against PL Hull too.

I watched him versus Hull in EFL Cup and thought he looked decent, decent touch, good movement, agressive in the press.

The Carabao sponsorship deal must be quite small. It certainly isn’t big enough to get more live TV games that might compensate for smaller attendances as a result.

Just watched the first half. Read reports that Cov were poor, but honestly, we absolutely blew them away in the opening 45. The tempo of our play was fantastic. Pass, control, move it, good movement off the ball. We most definitely made them look poor, they could not cope with us. God only knows why Pring’s far post header was ruled out? Should’ve been 4-0 at h-T.

Yes, just register, don’t go via payment and you get access.

Yep, no real transfer market to speak of beneath the WPL, and even then not a huge one within it.

It’s a Coldplay thing ?

Just been watching a few highlights on Wyscout (the whole game is pretty much on there but my monthly video allowance is running out), looks like Weimann and Massengo starting positions in basic shape we’re right and left (and advanced) of King. Felt a bit like Holdenball 5122 (3142dm), but not high-flying “eights” like Paterson and Weimann, more conventional midfielders. We will see if it shapes up similarly versus Wigan.

Someone told me he is spending more time “office based” and if that is adding “pro knowledge” into the recruitment department that is good news imho. He has definitely been active in forging links with French Ligue 1 clubs.

Initially you are right, he struggled for goals, but all partnerships aren’t necessarily equal in goals output… Taylor and Turner Owen and Heskey Beardsley and Lineker

Cisse playing his part.

I wasn’t there, so can only go by the stuff on here, media reports etc. If Weimann was a bit deeper both in and out of possession, making it more of a three (AK, HM, AW) then it’s something I’ve gone on about for quite a while. Weimann (and Sykes) has such energy I’m sure he can cover lots of ground, and still link up with the forward line but starting a bit deeper. What a player he is.

He got the final touch, clipped his trailing leg. You could argue Weimann ought not to get the assist, but Shhhhh, don’t tell anyone.

Yep, just seen. Conspiracy Theory #37965.2 ?

Conway has played enough times (and 3x as many mins for City than Janneh) to give a view / opinion that he is better than Saikou. Add to that his u23 stuff, I see a player far more rounded than Saikou and with better current ability and future ceiling higher too. But it is only an opinion, but he’s played enough now to form that view. Im not saying he should start though. But I’d have no qualms if he did.

Difficult to know if Naismith has had any comms with him, because he looks like he’s tried to fill the near-post gap…in case either Wilson gets skinned and Vyner has to go and leave his man…or to block the low cross? Weimann has watched it all go on too. King was filling in at LCB3 as Atkinson had followed his man short. Lots going on. Probably lots of minor things…and definitely can be improved. I’m sure they’ll be watching that back and at least asking questions like you have. ??

Yep, it was two rotated Championship teams, neither manager fielded a full strength eleven. We fielded at least 3 players (King, Vyner and Massengo) who aren’t fit to wear the red and white according to some on here.
