Ian M

Sadly true.

I think we made him one of our highest earners to persuade their PotY to join us. I’m pretty sure Jones complained about not being able to compete with us. At a guess I’d expect him to be on between £12-15k per week. If I’m correct, that brings in better than cover.

Well he could, if he was ever fit. If anyone came in for him I’d take the opportunity to free ourselves of his wage. If things go our way over the next 7 days, he could yet be joining a top 10 side to soften the blow.

A point raised in commentary yesterday was Max's save percentage so I did a bit of looking at stat websites today. It seems that, with Max ever-present, we have the best save percentage in the division. Now they may be easier shots than some others, but I'm fine with that if this is part of our defensive unit performing well.

That’ll be all that training on the grass.

Let’s go!

Watching the replay the only real chance to shoot was outside the area.

Yay, common sense exists in Supporter Services!

No new sales are allowed. If you're already in the SS, you might get some success if you directly contact Supporter Services as common sense dictates you'd just be moving from one part to another. But do they have common sense?

I also think a small factor to add to your point about the Cost of Living crisis, there may be non-season ticket holders who fancy picking one up but because the club are saving the freed spots in the South Stand for individual matchday sales, are priced out of it.

I wonder if this part is accurate as, in my mind, Joe is our CM most likely to look to play incisive forward passes this season. But he does have the odd game where his passing is atrocious. Fortunately those have been fewer of late imo.

Oh 100%, that's why I said still sign one....just not at Twine's price. If LM wants to play 2 AMCs then we need more than Mehmeti, Sykes and Stokes as the options because we must never play Knight there, he's too important / better further back.

Of all Manning's games, I think today was actually my favourite despite not winning. I believe Norwich had won something like 8 straight home games and we went there and with different officials might have won that game 2-0. But I was more pleased that after a pretty decent 1st half, we didn't follow it up with a turgid 2nd and actually played better in the second period imo. I feel like the players looked more confident in their touches and passing too which gives me more confidence that Liam could have us on the right path at last.

I feel like Mehmeti has potentially shown enough promise there to make Twine too expensive (as if he wasn't already) and we may do well to look at bringing in another project to develop into that role (alongside Stokes) as you could view the initial Mehmeti signing.

Aside from his goal I think having someone as comfortable on the ball as Roberts as one of the 3 CBs (along with Dickie) stops this system being as negative as some variants are.

Norwich gave MotM to their goalie.

He did though

Was just waiting expectantly for the offside flag. I await Nick’s replay with interest.

Norwich TV commentary pair love us.

I don't know a great deal about L2 but I found it surprising that only 1 player from the champions features in their team.

So Robins TV will remain an option for those who are more able to take a quick flight to the continent than travel to AG. Or those who already live abroad.

Doing a third pre-season?

Kane 4 Palmer 2 Foden 2 None for the other three.

But noteworthy that the two clubs in the bottom 2 who we played after making the change, also changed their managers to considerable upside. Equally we can all laugh at Sunderland and Birmingham

Pretty similar to the overall league table.
