It wont date though, the usual kits are replaced every season, but this wont be
-
Also, the number of games packed so closely together isnt giving enough time for recuperation, the cup replays, which have been particularly full on have not helped, its a miracle the back 5 have remained available for selection for so long, clearly those players are particularly resistant to knocks, while some others struggle to stay fit

Lots of classics here, my lad stood looking at me shocked when we were in the dolman recently and i joined in a “we all follow the city over land and sea and cardiff” chant,, hed never heard it,, its a cracker
-
Have to agree,,, though if he can maintain this level til the end of the season id maybe consider a 1+1 just in case the injuries start again. Apart from the last 2 months, he just has hasnt been worth the transfer fee and wages.
-
Good to see this sort of thing,,, the museum could be in the form of glass displays inside the concourse walls? i guess the 1909 cup final shirts must be our most valuable items, if any exist?
-
We can assume that the manager was involved with the twine deal, he may have prior knowledge of madube too?
-
At this point, while hes got a decent left foot, id have to say hes not done a lot for us and will be one of the higher earners… would be nice if that could be freed up and he be moved on. With the knight, bird, tgh and possibly twine signings we are clearly moving towards a younger more mobile midfield, (with a possible resale value)…
-
I agree, but nothing will come around for the lansdowns,,, SL is a billionaire who didnt want our dirty laundry on public display by a football manager, and couldn’t be bothered to deal with someone who can be prickly,,, if i had more money than god id probably do it too!
-
Harsh on bell, he’s young, quick, and can finish, and ive never seen anything to suggest he isnt a top young pro. he isnt messi with the ball, if he was he wouldnt be with us,,, playing right wing back whens he most dangerous as a counterattacking forward has screwed him

Leeds United at home match thread
Simon bristol replied to Jerseybean's topic in The Havanatopia Match Day Archive
My thoughts are with you re the gromit hunt! Interesting, i quite like a stadium build,,, for rival clubs too, ive been watching the liverpool and everton builds, and watching ours happen was great and very interesting,, will keep an eye out for updates of elland road over the coming yeas, its a big city, spent a few days there a few years ago, and i didn’t know there was such a waiting list. -
Leeds United at home match thread
Simon bristol replied to Jerseybean's topic in The Havanatopia Match Day Archive
Im no expert on the area surrounding elland road, but why arent the club increasing capacity to fit more people in? A year or 2 in the prem should allow at least some improvements, and leeds are always throwing money around for new players? The stadium hasnt been worked on for years has it? -
Completely Arbitrary Transfer Window Ranking
Simon bristol replied to Silvio Dante's topic in Football Chat
Remains to be seen, but unless either of these 3 young uns turn into the next scott, then i dont think our transfer dealings merit much more than a 5/10, no new striker in, if anything happens to conway then we are really down to wells and thats it. -
Max Bird Signed (& loaned back to Derby) - CONFIRMED
Simon bristol replied to Finley_Smith10's topic in Football Chat
This loan back thing makes sense from the point of view of the wage budget being maxed out, and next year with some departures that will create the space for him. A couple of cheap young signings which dont really affect the budget, weimann leaving to create space for twine, and we are more or less in the same salary position we were on 1st jan. I dont think paying a transfer fee was ever really the problem, and the bhig cup games can only have helped. Would have liked to see a big striker in, but apparently this wasnt a priority! -
Max Bird Signed (& loaned back to Derby) - CONFIRMED
Simon bristol replied to Finley_Smith10's topic in Football Chat
Hes signed,, i think its going to be an interesting summer for our out of contract midfielders! -
Hes had a good month or 2, but overall, it would be hard to say hes been an impressive signing for us. If he keeps his form up for the rest of the season, then consider another year, tgh is more naturally gifted in my view.

Coventry City away match thread
Simon bristol replied to Jerseybean's topic in The Havanatopia Match Day Archive
Surely with what we have available, this is the most likely combination to get us a goal?! -
Coventry City away match thread
Simon bristol replied to Jerseybean's topic in The Havanatopia Match Day Archive
We arguably had at least one go in our favour against west ham, hopefully we can hold on today! -
Hmm,, will have to wait and see, 2 weeks turns into 2 months with our lot these days
-
Agreed, at some point we need to score some goals, the ones most likely to score are conway, bell, sykes and wells, with twine as a supplier/ scorer in behind them. Im quite sure wells isnt the future, and i also appreciate that mehmeti is working hard for the team but offers practically no goal threat, but getting 3/4 of the above players on the pitch together is our best chance of scoring goals/ winning games.

FA Cup 5th Round: Man Utd at Home (if we beat Forest)
Simon bristol replied to Not Banksy's topic in Football Chat
Yes, come on seb! Love to see him with a goal or 2 -
Excellent defender at this level!
-
Yes agreed, i agree with it in the cup games to keep it tight but playing the wing backs with little goal threat limits the goal threat we pose
-
I really like him, but right back in a 4 would be his best position, with someone like sykes in front of him who can get a goal

Haydon Roberts is a happy man tonight
Simon bristol replied to Merrick's Marvels's topic in Football Chat
Great powerful lads no doubt, but im really not sure theres much goal threat between them. -
Haydon Roberts is a happy man tonight
Simon bristol replied to Merrick's Marvels's topic in Football Chat
Agreed, joe bryan played in the premier league because hes a step up on pring going forwards, though i do appreciate that all of the defenders including pring are giving us in these cup games!
