Our DoF already trod that path.

This chap from Leyton looks nice. Interested in what his defence will be.

Brings to mind the quote that dogs are for people who hadn't had a lot of success with their own species.

Clearly a game Wellens didn't want to win.

Rich Tea Wellin wrote: ↑Sat Aug 24, 2024 6:28 pm Good interview. He essentially dispelled any rumours to go to Blackpool, called out hemmings and was bold enough to drop James when he ain’t putting enough effort in.

Love him

Could say same about O'Neil donley, James was OK against charlton.

Ask Nigel Travis or Kent Teague, why aren't you banging down the doors with them so they can give you the answers You need. Seems a bit lazy of you leaving it to others I know it's a WUM so just answering this bit, funny enough there's a question waiting for him later :lol: No draught beer availabl...

I can see why the club chanced it with these prices as we were near capacity most of last season, but reality is Birmingham City aren't exactly a fallen giant. Most of my lifetime they've been a middling championship club who had a decent few years in the prem. The idea that they are such a name th...

We were Decent first half and better than Charlton in possession faded and negative second, a lot because Kelman ran himself into the ground by 60 as O'Neil and spurs boy offered nothing to the cause. They strong at the back, the right back was top drawer, very route one and Mitchell wouldn't get ne...

It wasn't unlucky it was a feeble shot. That said Kelman's hold up play has been superb.

Wellens was deliberately arch in revealing that Moncur's injury occurred in training yesterday, I.e. it wasn't responsible for him not being in the squad for the Bolton game.

It wasn't unlucky.

You and your son or the Team?

Excellent thread. Of course, everything has to be paid for... When it comes to "gratitude" towards T&T for "saving us", I am in the indebted camp for sure. However, each season I can see the club lurching towards "Americanisation" - the act of attempting to bleed t...

Surely everyone knows by now that since Devlin became CEO these are ticket-sold figures not attendance figures.
For the stadium announcer to state these on a weekly basis as the "attendance" isn't even disingenuous, it is a lie.

The game completely passed Pratley by, he didn't touch the ball second half before being hooked. Brown was our most committed player, would that Forde, James, Moncur made a modicum of that effort. 3 corners scored from 3 feet out, why even bother with a goalkeeper. TBF Brynn's agent who is a much be...

Per above, existing audio-visual arrangements for international audiences will remain in place.

So nothing changes then.

Wellens too.
Using all your subs well before the end when winning (I.e. not having to chase the game with wholesale substitutions ) and then having to play last 20 with10 is about as incompetent as it gets for a manager at any level.

Would be worthy of a place in this collection.

From what I remember of Stanislaus, the drugs didn't seem to work.

Yes, we lost 3-0 at Barnet and he had a stinker. Tested positive and we sacked him.

This year's match figures are for tickets sold so can't be compared with the metric for earlier seasons which related to attendance.

He pinged a couple in. I was actually impressed with his work rate last night, done more running and got stuck in more than in his time with us. Spot on, and wasnt wearing gloves, they've definitely toughened him up. Nice moment when he was subbed and ran towards the home dugout, laughed then corre...

Yes, I am well out of date but how good is Slow Horses? Binged Series 1 in 2 nights and now half-way through S2. Brilliant stuff. The books are good too. I reinstated my Apple tv sub just for series 3. Highly recommend The Secret Hours, which provides a gripping and deftly plotted origins story, wh...

Anybody remember a dark, wet winter's Tuesday night many many moons ago when Stoke (maybe in a cup game) did exactly the same to us from one of our corners, as Derby did today for their third goal. After they scored, we lost heart and the Derby players were quicker than us, more skillful than us an...

Wellens body language at the end of the match really not good. Shrugging shoulders at travelling Os fans then storming off in a little hissy fit. It’s quite respectful to those who made the trip and spent their money supporting the club. Especially in a cost of living crisis during the run up to Ch...

Sotiriou has miscontrolled or given away possession ten times in the first 20 minutes...nailed on to score.
