Why is the football not the one in our badge?

You dirty skate bastards, we're coming for you

The season before, our tactics were largely successful. Not unreasonable to expect that we will dominate the ball in most games next season. It's in the Prem where we will need to adapt more.

https://yellowsforum.co.uk/threads/summer-2025-transfer-window-thread.13009/page-15 According to Oxford's forum, we've had a bid rejected for Tyler Goodrham Leeds and Sunderland wanted him in January so he obviously has something about him.

It was used from 1976 though, the kit before then was more generic stripes. So this would work better as a 'nod' to 1976 (even if, as you say, it was the season afterwards). But the year matters, right?

I mean if someone has gone to all that effort to fake it then fair play (and what a waste of time). I guess we'll find out, but as it is 50 years since the FA Cup win I wouldn't be surprised if that was the design

I don't think he would qualify for a work permit so it would make a lot of sense to send him out on loan to Goztepe.

Puma made a special anniversary kit for Port Vale this year, so if they can do a bespoke one for them, they can do one for us I'm sure.

Strong rumours he's going to Cardiff Looks like he's bottling a return to St Mary's

But he may get 8 or 9 million in a couple of years if he does sign a new deal. Anyway hopefully it gets resolved this summer, whatever happens.

Stewart scoring on Sunday is so important IMO. He doesn't have to worry about having to get his first goal for the club. If we cross the ball a bit more than we did under Martin then he'll cause defenders a lot of problems next season. But yes we definitely need another striker, assuming Tall Paul leaves.

It looks like the design that Portsmouth fans tried to vote for when our home kit went to a public vote

Joe Lumley to Leicester. They just released two back up goalkeepers so he'll go there as their third choice.

The thing about Luton is that they massively overachieved. Once teams stopped underestimating them it all went to shit.

Defence needs a major overhaul, he, Edwards and THB (if he stays) would be excellent options there, with Stephens as a decent back up.

Keep him, we know what he can do at this level.

Something MLG might want to get involved in to resolve, there's an editing row going on the wikipedia page for next season's Championship, on the list of managers, someone keeps editing Will Still's nationality to Belgian and then someone changes it back to English, and so on. Quite amusing how petty some people can get about this. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/2025–26_EFL_Championship

A loan wouldn't be a bad thing, but hopefully that's it. This policy of buying City's young players has been shit, with the exception of Lavia. We may get a profit on THB if we're lucky.

That was his problem, it was always style over substance. Of course, when we did have the substance, it was pretty good and tearing apart Blackburn/Swansea/Sheff Wed at home amongst others was enjoyable. But when he did go away from his style and was pragmatic, look at what we achieved. The Leeds Wembley game was a perfect tactical display from Russell Martin in how he adapted. And then he never did it again. Just bizarre.

I'd have liked a trip out to northern France! Maybe because of the Tour de France in the region the authorities don't want to deal with a few hundred English football fans as well.

The atmosphere in the Northam when we took the lead against Liverpool was magical, even if it was just for 15 minutes or so.

From a footballing point of view, annoying as Sheff Utd will be a bigger threat. From a match going perspective, brilliant because a trip to Sunderland is fucking long. Even longer when you lose 5-0...

If he's even half as good as our last coach from Ligue 1, who took us to 8th and a cup final, then we're in for an excellent time whilst he's here.
