Re: MATCHWATCH : Wycombe Wanderers (a)

Didn’t Selles say he dropped/changed the full-backs frequently because in the modern game it’s quite a high-intensity, so you need to refresh the players.

Re: 4-4-2

If it’s all about having an extra man in the middle and overloading opposition centre-backs, we should revert to the old 2-3-5 formation.

Re: MATCHWATCH : Wycombe Wanderers (a)

Rewatching the highlights video the club put together when MOM arrived, it was really notable how many of the goals were scored within the six-yard box. He did score a few from the edge of the box though. The last goal in particular (playing for Pompey) he was on the shoulder of the last defender, t...

Re: Stadium Matchday Upgrade

Couhig said in an interview early he loved fireworks, and he does it to attract kids to the matches. Mate, if they can see the fireworks they’re already at the game, ffs.

Re: BFTG - AFC Wimbledon

Doyle was in the top 25 League One goalscorers last season, and hit double figures, so he’s definitely an attacking threat.

Re: BFTG - AFC Wimbledon

I have assumed after last season they’re being careful with Elliott, trying to bring him up to speed carefully rather than throw him in too soon and risk another long lay-off.

Re: Derrick Williams - confimred

But also eight seasons in the Championship or League One, promoted from League One twice, once as champions. Not a bad pedigree.

And if MLS is League One standard, how would League One defences have looked against the other teams in the CWC?

Re: The Local Journo Thread

Thanks. If I've read your summary correctly, Tim Dellor's explanation for the dearth of local football journalism is: "it’s tragic we don’t have that sort of thing any more but that’s the way digital media has gone." .... That was referring to the kind of coverage we used to have in local...

Re: The Local Journo Thread

What surprises me the most about Earnshaw is that he is apparently a dedicated correspondent for the Reading area. I thought that Newsquest were like Reach, employing people based in regional offices to write clickbait articles that get pushed across their whole range of titles.

Re: Titbits

Would Canada being part of the commonwealth be as good as a British passport anyway? That's not the experience I recall from watching ice hockey over here - the Canadians were usually dual-UK/EU (pre-Brexit) nationals. I presume it's not a British passport/citizenship that matters here. Residency f...

Glad to hear it, it wouldn't look good to force a 90 year old Dame out of her home.

Re: MATCHWATCH : Lincoln City (a)

I can probably get used to the main commentator, but swapping journalists/experienced pros for a podcaster seems a bit too 21st-century for me. Are they going to pick the commentary team according to how many followers they have on TikTok from now on?
