Convict Colony

No matter how bad things are it's not that bad amigo.

Easy 2-0 win for the mighty VA

has anyone anywhere heard of a rumour about us getting a player, anyone !! Otherwise I am going to start making up crazy shit like getting rashford on loan........ oh wait someone already suggested that on x 🤣

This game seems like the sort of game no one wants to watch. I am berift of motivation or excitment for this and the transfer window.

Honestly when he gets married he wont even be the best footballer in his family.

Never thought i'd see the day that Turks becomes a super grass

biggest takeway i've got from this is that the forum has rules

How to make me hate footballers more, although our team would still have trouble scoring.

Steve am i missing somthing or is the gif icon where you can search for gifs gone ? guess I'll have to paste the in directly.

Invested in Man Utd surely and a terrible collection of scarves he wears no matter the weather

I'd also give him a taste for what the premier league is like so in theory he knows what its about if we get promoted, also playing at that level might elevate his game and performance next season v championship player even further. Anyway it could be a moot point cos if chelsea recall big les we have to recall him anyway. A lot depends on oour manager plans, if it is rohl in the summer then let him play for him further.

Do whatever is going to give us the most spending possible in the championship. Also ensure we continue to play the same style we are trying now next season so we have at least continuity with whatever players we retain and buy players who fit that style from now on. I massively assume Juric will go back to italy in the summer and Rohl will be hired (as I am guessing here that hisand his staffs release clause value was specifically for in season moves) hence the high amount.

Very happy for him, been following him obviously since us and think after that inital 10 game spell at reading it really made him as a manager. Stoked he's already bringing hull up and getting results (mate is a hull fan so follow them for trolling purposes) and awesome that he organised the comeback against leeds after being 3-1 down. I expect him to get them up to mid table by seasons end so happy we will play him next year as i think he is a very decent bloke who got the gig with us too early. I think Saints need a better manager though and I fully expect us to get Rohl in the summer as I think there is more upside to him as a manager in comparision if Juric does leave for italy in the summer.

This is going to be the hot thread i reckon for the next 5 months. I expect some big moves from Dragan by end of season or summer as he gets fed up with this yo yo bullshit. Might be time to put a serious person in charge of the football dept.

Ivan did say after the match that this week he would sit down and discuss with the board what needs to happen. That result will empower him to be bolder i would suggest in what needs to change, get rid of and recruit, it will then be up to anus ankerson and hooverboy to deliver it.

didnt want to open this thread as i knew there werent any good records we were going to break.

Also i missed it by why didnt fernandes play ? injured or ill ? I wasnt also surprised by the performance either, i think since ivan came in the scorelines were better than the performances in each game, not blaming him just the quality of players we have. 2 shocking chest controls (aribo and HWB) resulting in goals, brentford should of scored more in all honesty and we didnt look like scoring.

Ski sunday used to be the shit

Never making a match thread again, we get pumped 5-0 and the forum crashes for days.

The irony is that if we could sign che I reckon most of us would take him. But honestly I'm interested in people's suggestions cos otherwise we just get the no he's shit from people and no counter ideas. What strikers does the forum think we could get who can hit the ground running ?

Ok so I thought I would try and guess a striker option we could look at in Jan, will keep digging but this was a first possible one. For our striker I am working on the premise Juric wants a striker he knows, can already play the system and has scored goals for him who is not the current starting striker for his team. I also like the idea of italian based strikers who face defensive minded, tactical football every week coming up agains the chaos theory of the premier league, I think they score more goals here for sure. Antonio Sanabria - Torino so Che can hopefully give him a debrief 315 matches - 82 goals and 15 assists Seems to be 2nd striking option there currently Scouting Report: Position: His natural position is as a central striker, where he operates best leading the line. Playing Style: Goal Scorer: Sanabria has a knack for finding the back of the net, showing good positioning inside the box and a decent finishing ability. His goal-scoring record, while not prolific, indicates he can be a threat in front of goal. Versatility: He can also play as a second striker or in a more withdrawn role, adapting to systems that require him to drop deeper to link play or exploit spaces. Technical Ability: Sanabria possesses good technical skills, which include dribbling, ball control, and passing. He's capable of holding up play and bringing teammates into the game, though this isn't his primary role. Physicality: He has average speed but compensates with decent strength for his size, allowing him to shield the ball and compete in aerial duels. Work Rate: He's known for his work ethic, often pressing defenders and contributing defensively when out of possession. Strengths: Finishing: Particularly effective with his weaker left foot, which adds unpredictability. Movement: Good off-the-ball movement to find space. Penalty Taking: He has taken on the responsibility of penalty kicks for his team, showing confidence and skill in that aspect. Tactical Role: Under coaches like Ivan Jurić, who demand high pressing and tactical versatility, Sanabria has been used both as a lone striker in a counter-attack setup and in more fluid attacking systems where he can interchange positions with other forwards.

he's 32.

i think you didnt see the word recommended to the club by ankersen, of course the club would have had a choice of possible assistants, interviewed them and make the decision thereafter, remember this was for the assistants role to work between the b team and first team. You think phil giles has his pulse on danish youth teams coaches and a coach sacked by brondby, if so i have some magic beans to sell you.

You should check out a book called Drunkards Walk, prior performance doesnt mean future performance.

I'd of thought any 30-40m player would destroy our pay structure which would have more impact than the transfer fee.
