Pressure mounting on Russ.
at 14:42 15 Sep 2024

For me the issue was never how we played under RM more is inability (aka down right refusal) to recognise there are both games & time within games where you need to be flexible & dial the possession/passing up and down.

Not talking about switching to route 1 but to add/subtract urgency to get forward as the real game situation dictates - countless times we were losing/drawing as the second half ticked away & yet we were seemingly content to knock it around in our half regardless of the fact that the opposition were happy to sit in a low block in front of us as they were happy with what they had.

For me a complete lack of game intelligence for the sake of his philosophy/principles.

Or with the U21s as they had 3 trialists in their starting 11 earlier today.

⚽️ KÖLN v SWANSEA CITY
at 10:31 25 Jul 2024

Tend to agree Rich - my frustration so far in LW’s short tenure was perfectly illustrated in yesterday’s game in that we had circa 50% possession, 50% corners, 50% time in opposition half etc etc yet we had less than half as many attempts on goal (on & off target) so our goalkeeper is worked twice as hard which tends to lead to conceding goals unless our GK has a blinder.

That’s why for me a good finisher/striker plus goal scoring ‘10’ are key to the next 5 weeks (plus ideally another experienced CB).

Could be as Gavin Levey would have worked with the lad at Aberdeen although 21 is relatively old to be joining an Academy.

Think this is Koln’s 6th pre-season match having won 4 & drawn 1 of the previous five - scored 33 goals too so should be a tough ask for us.

Not 100% sure but think the EFL agreed a £30 max for away fans at their last meeting - even Leeds accepted it.

Ipswich who were being linked with Rushworth now look like spending £10M on Muric from Burnley - interesting.

Fair point Dr just with our limited budget/wages this move works for me but I guess we’ll see.

I’m ok with Grimes setting our tempo just needs to be 10/15 yards further forward & looking in that direction so if this guy - if he comes of course - can provide the safety net behind Grimes & in front of our back 4 that would be a welcome addition for me.

Also helps that his name allows for easy chanting on repeat!

Don’t see either as viable options & feels like weak journalistic links due to them being strikers & Welsh - file under not happening for me.

Maybe but can you see us paying a £3M signing on fee - might allow us to get him within our wages structure but still £3M!

Yup expires on the 30th although they had been talking about a new contract so seems unlikely to me.

The Summer Transfer Rumours Thread
at 10:35 14 Jun 2024

Not an issue for me from either side - Pato is 33 in December so this is probably his last decent, in football terms, contract so he’s obviously going to want a 2/3 year contract on what he/his agent see as top money. We on the other hand are trying to ‘manage’ our wage bill & so for a player his age with no obvious connection to the club a 12 month deal is clearly the better option.

So it’s now a game of poker to see who moves first - as long as we have contingencies in place a little time e.g. 2/3 weeks is just fine.
