  1. It was a play on words that is so bad that it just about makes sense 😄
  2. I can’t see Webber flying all the way out there for: a) a player he didn’t think he could get a permit for b) a player who wasn’t ready to join the team immediately. Webber knows he’s under mountain pressure.
  3. Do you know how much credit you get for each game, e.g. £20? or could you a get cash refund at the ticket office for the game instead?
  4. How does this work for a standard adult ticket in the Barclay?
  5. I suspect Smith will play a 4-3-3: Krul Aarons / Omobamidele / Hanley / Giannoulis Cantwell / Sorenson / Mclean Sargent / Pukki / Rashica Credit to Cantwell who has managed to go from 'surplus to requirements' to looking like one of our best players again although sadly Sorenson has shown in this pre-season why he largely didn't feature last season, just looks way too passive. The key to this season will be getting Hayden fit and then how well Sara adapts/fits in. Many are also forgetting the sheer lack of quality in this league and we'll be able to look bang average in some games and still take the 3 points.
  6. Ultimately he hasn't pushed on as much as most (including myself) initially thought two years ago upon his first promotion. His natural level probably lies at a lower-Premier League level, say a Crystal Palace. Although he has improved this side of his game, defensively he is still very suspect aerially/vulnerable at the back-post and his offensive game also seems to have been stalled. A good player but not a player which would move a club like Palace further up the table for the money that would have to be spent on him, and there lies the problem.
  7. That was an absolute shocker. Half-expected due to the team largely being the youngsters but Idah in particular did himself no favours.
  8. He was neither brilliant or terrible - he was 'OK' in every department; skill, fitness, injuries, attitude, value for money etc. Ultimately, not good enough for the EPL and too old to grow. Cutting our losses the right move.
  9. The total opposite of the performance against Marseille. Now 1-0 down. Rashica, Cantwell, Andrew, Gibson, Kenny are those players that played in that game and missing so far in this game. Cantwell in particular bossed that game.
  10. Marseille (and their fans) have always been a team of thugs. The region is notorious for being less than friendly.
  11. I'm usually an L (sometimes an 'M', sometimes an 'XL') and the 'L' is quite tight, whether by design or not. I'm 6ft1 and quite slender, but not skinny, basically Kieran Dowell size and find the neck uncomfortable so will be switching to a XL.
  12. Regarding our limited outs thus far, it states what we already know - Pukki aside, we basically have no one in our squad that Premier League sides are even remotely interested in. Compared to Burnley who had Pope, Tarkowski, and Ben Mee who will all do a solid job next year in the EPL.
  13. It's very hard to make a click-able highlights reel demonstrating good positioning sense or interceptions. The general everyday fan wants to see dribbles and goals in these videos and that's about it.
  14. Idah and Omo less of a concern as both visibly seen in the German training camp so should be back fairly soon. Hayden, more of a concern.
  15. Barclay s/t rough figures: Premier League 21/22: £25/game Championship 22/23: £23/game (due to 4 more home games)
  16. It's a clever move from Corberan. As other have said above, he's leaving whilst his stock is very high and realistically he's not going to repeat last year's success especially with a number of key players leaving. He'll then be very high up on the next top Championship job / lower Prem job to next appear. Certainly many would like him here if Smith doesn't start well.
  17. Slightly better than last year's quite frankly ridiculous casual ticket prices ("come pay £48 to watch a nothing 0-5 practice match"). It' still £5 too much though in each category. Grade A = £30 Grade B = £25 Grade C = £20 The above is fine for the Championship, and then +£5 on each grade when we are in the Premier League.
  18. With the exception of Luton Town away on Boxing day, I can't see any away games selling out (certainly not before it reaches General Sale) so don't see the need for anyone to buy an away membership this year.
  19. Presumbly the light show is for when we play Rotherham United in mid-January on a freezing cold Wednesday night. ‘Nothing beats a night game atmosphere’* *I’ve always found them to be the worst as everyone is knackered from work. Saturday 3pm always better.
  20. I imagine it will be launched tomorrow morning now.
  21. Exactly the same thought. It's a nightmare.
