  1. Surely, if we want a mobile right back, who can play wing back, has over 100 top division appearances and is an available, full international... We just get Sugawara back from loan.
  2. Easily fixed...

  4. Things he did well: His presence changed Preston's defensive approach.. More than it changed our attacking one. They thought we'd brought on a target man. We continued to break ourselves against two banks of defenders. Whether that was long range shots they were happy to block, or us failing to pass through them. Mubama gave us a little more room, as Preston were having to watch him, as he was often the only player of our in the box. That led to a couple of Azaz efforts nearly having him on the end of them. That he wasn't, looked to be down to his sharpness and awareness as a finisher. He took up the standard positions in the box. While we should have looked to use that a lot more, he also has to be aware he's not going to get many chances. And those could be from rebounds. He has to be right on it, for the ones he gets. And yesterday, he wasn't. Whataboutery says:Neither were anyone else.
  5. His non appearance in squads is to minimise the bonuses on top of that. Yeah, no doubt all parties keen for a solution on that one. I thought West Ham would be above us. They've had a conveyor belt of players that I thought were high earners. I thought that would be more wasteful, and stack up. Quite the level bump from the pack to the wages of Burnley, West Ham, Wolves and ourselves.
  6. You've not seen Dana W White cage fighting. Still works. 🙂
  7. The reason Match of the Day now comes with a viewer warning, since Turkish became a pundit. 🙂
  8. Last year's Norwich kit looked like there were 11 gaping wounds running around the park in need of urgent medical assistance.
  9. Messi wins the MLS Golden Boot a second season, with the Beeb saying "Messi becomes only the sixth player to land the award twice, joining a list that includes former Charlton Athletic and Southampton striker Bradley Wright-Phillips." Will Messi retire having now reached the pinnacle of matching BWP?
  10. Caught the second half. Despite nearly all the possession, we didn't overly trouble them. They were happy to block all the long range shots. Noticeably, we had ery few, if a y players in the box. So, that ruled out wide delivery. They could just camp in there and look to stop passes in behind. It changed for the better when Mubama came on. Suddenly, their defence had a different threat to deal with. A little more space appeared. Unfortunately Mubama was positionally off the mark. At least two attempt from Azaz nearly reached him, and he should really have been there. Sure, we rarely used him as a target. But he has to learn to make the most of few opportunities. At least to trouble their keeper. But he got near getting on the end of something. The rest failed to break down that defence. A frustrating result, after all the hard work that goes into it. And a result champions find a way to get.
