  1. 11am update from H&IOW Fire: HIWFRS Incident Commander Mark White said: Because of a change in wind direction people who were previously unaffected may now be seeing and smelling smoke, our advice remains that people in affected areas should keep their windows closed. Road closures remain in place and people are asked to avoid the area if possible. If you find ash and debris from the Marine Parade fire on your property you are advised to leave it alone. --- From the pictures, the situation has improved a lot in terms of the fire itself and smoke so I guess the club's attention now turns to the clean-up, noting that the fire brigade are still using the South Car Park (adjacent to the Chapel stand) to fight the blaze from the back of the warehouse unit. Fingers crossed the game will still be on.
  2. There's certainly a lot of hysteria about. Just a reminder that after the same amount of games last season, Burnley had just one more point than us. We've a more solid foundation now, helped by playing a more consistent X1 each week, so I think our biggest concern moving forward will be if we're clinical enough to finish games off. We're creating plenty, but need Adams to get out of his funk and start scoring or hope Ross Stewart can hit the ground running. We'll be in and around the play-offs, but probably not good enough/street smart enough to go up this season.
  3. I suspect there will be rotation, but I'd be keeping the back 4 the same at least and maybe just bring in Adams for Alcaraz to give the latter a rest as he looked knackered towards the end on Tuesday. Then again, we've got the international break after this which Charly won't be a part of so he can recover after that. Maybe Edozie or Fraser in for Sully too as I don't think he's ready to start 3 games in a week yet but best not to tinker too much. Their away record at this level is laughably bad (haven't won in the last 20) but shouldn't take anything for granted in the Championship.
  4. Best squad depth in the league now. Over to the manager and the players to deliver.
  5. Pretty high as he's injured for a couple of weeks.
  6. Belgian media reporting that we're competing with Atletico Madrid for Tajon Buchanan. Plays for Brugge currently, winger.
  7. Seen Stewart live a couple of times and he's excellent at holding the ball up/back to goal in general and 9 times out of 10 if you give him a sniff in the box, he'll score. Sunderland were hoping to play him in a behind closed doors friendly during the international break so he's really not far away from being fit again. Of course it's a risk but at £5-8m it's surely worth it and gives us more options at the top end (assuming Che stays), allowing Adam Armstrong to play in that slightly deeper role he's been thriving in. He's excellent in the air too which will prove important in both boxes. Worth mentioning that our 'new' Head of Recruitment is Sunderland manager Tony Mowbray's brother so that should help in getting a deal done.
  8. It was Friday I was told so looks like old news now.
  9. Only snippet I've had is that we're very interested in 'a greek forward who plays in the dutch league', which I've deduced to be Tasos Douvikas as Pavlidis who plays for AZ would be well out of our reach. Douvikas scored 19 last season and can play off the wing or through the middle. No idea if we've bid but sounds like one to keep an eye on.
  10. "Sign some experience!".... "No not that experience!"
  11. Swap deals get rumoured all the time but are incredibly rare in football with how complicated deals tend to be nowadays.
