For what it’s worth, I think McLoughlin will move on in the summer. There was a lot of interest last summer and there will be Championship suitors this summer as well. With only a year left on his contract, we may sell him. He’s been a good servant to the club but at this stage in his career, he probably doesn’t want to play second fiddle. We may wait on signing another centre-half until the summer if Burns sticks around.
Maybe. I'm talking about passing angles really. Jones on the left looks awkward, he gets forced down the left and ends up having to play hopeful long balls with his left foot. Macca often gets tied in knots and I think that's made worse when he's at left back too. It's never going to be perfect but with that many playing in awkward spaces it becomes a problem. Or maybe QPR were just particularly good at sending us in directions that favoured them, and against Stoke it'll be fine. Just my reading of it.
Macca's a really steady defender, his only minus is his pace, he does get caught on occasions, but agree him and Jones look a better balanced pair than Jones/Burns.
Biggest win of the season nailed on. 6-0 to City as we hit them on the break time after time. And before anyone asks if I’m on drugs then the answer is yes, but that’s another story.
that picture shows how bad the pitch is it looks like someones drove a vehicle in a straight line from one end to the other
I have faith in the ground staff to improve the condition of the pitch before Stoke. They will have had about ten days to get it upto speed.
Vern in lucid post shock. It should show improvement as the grass is now growing. The views expressed in my posts are not necessarily mine.
Any rearranged I see I always put them in the next match thread on the basis that every bugger will be reading it. But if the Mods think it's own thread is needed then please move it Mods.
Thanks rover. I have noted that fixture on my RSPB Inspiring Nature 2025 calendar, to ensure I can plan that week and don't inadvertently double book myself.
Leave it here, you'll be giving the ****s delusions of adequacy. The views expressed in my posts are not necessarily mine.
