I thought the Freezer looked a bit too bulky and immobile. Full name must be Freezer Forster.

Just hope they don’t make their new manager appointment later today or tomorrow giving them the inevitable ‘bounce’ for the fixture as well

Agree about two strikers, but can’t see it happening. Isn’t it just a bit worrying that this fiasco might be one the Wilcox already ‘signed off’ this summer ?

Bullshit making at look as if Che is where we are pinning our hopes. They couldn’t be so stupid could they ?

Not doubting that. Just staggering that anyone would take this risk in the first place. Await the CoT update as and when available.

Is this informed from the Surgeon of Trust ?

I have wondered if we’ll see him play for us for any run in the team. IF we were to get promoted will the club think him up to Prem standard, or will we see him loaned to say Coventry at vastly subsidised wages ? He’s living up to my fear of being the Loch Ness Delgado at least.

Credit where it’s due, his injury is ahead of schedule. No excuses now. Think those responsible for this one haven’t so much taken on the the muppet baton but eaten the thing. (Many a true word said in jest, but unbelievable gamble and bit of business).

Mr Woo. ??

Miovski is probably the stand out obvious one to be linked with (especially given Darren Mowbray’s connection). But Saints don’t ‘do’ the clear and obvious to assist us immediately, we’d rather try and be clever with a more obscure purchase. Or a Man City trainee who might be okay in three seasons time. Melton - good one !

Killing the goose that lays the golden egg springs to mind. The EPL and especially the ‘big clubs’ will eventually realise they’ve ruined the ‘product’ or perhaps they won’t be bothered if the tourists continue to pay to sit in silence taking selfies.

3.44 - different language, familiar song. (Perhaps even the Germans sing about hating the skates)

He’ll no doubt have interest from the Premier League so an unlikely one to come to us even if we were interested and bidding. But would he suit our more ‘patient’ and methodical build up play though ?

Yes there is, but if we’re looking to sign a player to be Alcaraz’s mate to help him settle, I expect it will be at the ‘Chala/Bleidilis’ level rather than a club record signing !

League Cup SF though …

Plymouth linked with Leighton Baines (???), and two former skates, Cowley , and Cotterill among others. Other managerial news - as widely mooted Cooper sacked at Forest. Wouldn’t be surprised if he ended up a Championship club with potential.

Exactly, it’s a free shot on goal, a gilt edged opportunity. What try reinventing the wheel ? Every time someone tries to do that, and be clever it inevitably results in a balls up to the detriment of the team taking the kick. Remember Arsenal, Henry and one other (was it Pires ?). Two top level players at the top of their game, and they bollocksed one rather than simply taking it.

So neither you nor Alcaraz considered it remotely possible that we could concede twice in about 8 minutes of remaining (injury time)play That could have been costly. Sorry if that seems extreme but Middlesborough at home (Dec 2004) in our relegation season haunts me still (2-0 up on 89 minutes ….). Charly possibly not even born then so will forgive him not having that in his mind ..

Penenka’s and stuttering run ups should be an immediate fine. Amazing how some even experienced players resort to this bollocks. Remember Pelle a few years ago in the Euros.

From the Blackburn supporter it seems there is some history from his Swansea days. No idea about yesterday.

No idea about the criticism of their own players and tactics, but thought his comments re us, Alcares, and RM were fine. Stupid penalty, although otherwise I rate CA and hope he’s learnt. RM does seem to wind up opposition fans, possibly because they like us - wonder- how he’s managed to progress without any real achievement at previous clubs. Could understand the opposition view of Jones who was a prickly individual on the touchline. Can’t say I’ve noticed any antics from RM, but if he comes across as a Billy Big-Bollocks you can see the resentment.

The prospect of greater £, Premiership and European football, and back nearer his London roots. No of course, no chance of him being enticed away. Hope he is prepared to give us the rest of the season and see where we are then.

Exactly the sort of performance we need, being on the front foot and aggressive. Where have I heard that before, and who from ?

Have edited it.

Good idea, as some of his attacking play seems to be done at a similar pace to the statue.
