Engvall’s Splinter

Not sure that makes a difference because those that appear to have been there all missed the kick to his ankle / heel before he went down injured 

Whilst I’m not saying it is the case in this instance, often managers will come out after the game with limited information until the injury is properly assessed.

So you're saying Fleming is lying?

With the greatest respect, I expect Fleming to know more about what happened more than someone Sat in the stand. 

Probably took a kick (which you missed) tried to run it off but couldn't so was taken off as a precaution. 

Did you go last night fella? 

The ups and downs of a City supporter. From looking fresh and full of beans, we are looking at a few key players who may be unavailable the first game. Football eh?

Of course. But that doesn't mean a deal isn't close. 

Interesting. KITR with a bit of inside knowledge perhaps …

From the little bits I’ve heard/seen over the weekend. He is indeed off…

To who, Wolves?

In the few games I’ve watched so far, I’ve seen no play acting / diving. The tackle on Chloe Kelly yesterday, down her shin, would have seen premier league “all stars” writhing around on the deck. Similar where the keeper was bathed in the early stages of the Netherlands game - bounces back up, gets on with it. Putting many of the Men’s game to shame. 

Not close enough to either Wolves or Bournemouth, yet if it was 20m, add ons and a player - is there anyone worth taking from either clubs if offered?

So you think we are stronger with Cornick up front than with Semenyo? Really ???

We’ll find out after Cornick’s preseason. That’s said, I think we are a stronger starting eleven since Semenyo departed.

Dave...even if we go on to win 6-2...it is not good to concede 2 goals against a team like Torquay 

Leyton Orient dicked Newcastle 5-1 in preseason the year Newcastle romped the championship. 
 

Not ideal but not the end of the world.

Genuine question: what can Scott do about it if we reject a bid?

Down tools, go AWOL, cause unrest etc. 

Not suggesting he will mind you. Pearson seems to have a father son sort of relationship with the youngsters. Arm around when required, tough love and honesty on other occasions. 

Why would Burnley decline to switch it to their ground though? Home advantage, more fans, less travel (better for fans), potential of picking up 3 points etc? I’d rather play at home than travel to Luton!

All strange one, reminds me a bit of the Liam Walsh scenario few years back, when he had a storming season at Coventry, great expectations, came back to us got injured and never really saw the light of day at BS3.

KW great season at FGR gets injured and rest is history…. He might well be one who got away and will be interesting to see how it all pans out at Derby. Interesting watch this season.  Time will tell

Wasn’t Walsh good spell with Coventry in the league below?

I don’t believe we’ve let him go for nothing unless the Knight deal is weighted against it. 

If I could guess a club who’d appoint the first female coach, then FGR would be up there. Something about their Chairman and the public eye. Cynical I know. 
 

Wish her the best of luck.

Clearly haven’t otherwise you’d have seen the explanations as to why Maguire is a different case to Phillips. 

Clearly missed my post where I answered “Yes” meaning I’d not seen the post as “otherwise I wouldn’t have written it”.

I take it you missed the rest of the conversation where Maguire was spoken about?

Yes. Otherwise I wouldn’t have written it.

The problem for Phillips though is another season of sitting on the bench at City will be terrible for his chances of making the squad for the Euros and he’ll know that.

I’d imagine he’ll be looking for assurances on game time over the summer.

Like Maguire?

Think me and shagsy are both going be in the quiet corner for a little bit 

Been rumbled?

Maybe Scott is close to going and we are chasing deals prior so we aren’t quoted inflated prices perhaps?

Had a couple of first team appearances for us many moons ago. Well respected coach now. 

I do wonder whether with both Roberts and the links to Bryan we are expecting some movement with Pring.

We definitely aren't, he's just won the Championship young player of the year...

And hopefully your right. I still think he’ll start the season with us.
