Erm.......3 - 5 - 2?

It's more of a 5-3-2 though isn't it?

Rosenior and Dudgeon are hardly midfielders and whilst I didn't see today's game, they didn't play much further up than normal at all at Blackburn.

Exactly. If what we're playing is 352 because it has wingbacks then what would this be:

Amos

Bruce, Chester, Faye

Aluko, Koren, McKenna, Cairney, Stewart

Simpson, Proschwitz
 
Yes he did

No, he really didnt. You were all told he did as a mutually beneficial agreement between City and Paderborn. City needed to back up the consistant claims of the owners of money being available despite what the previous manager claimed. Paderborn needed to quote a huge, unrealistic fee to justify the sale of a fans favourite. He actually cost us in the region of £1m.

Anyone accusing me of talking nonsense just think back to Jay Simpson's "£600k transfer" that was later revealed to be as little as £75k.

If I'd come out and said when we signed Jay that he cost £75k and not the quoted £600k you'd have said exactly the same as you have here. .

Find me a post from any time over the years when I have offered insider info that is wrong other than when I said Ash would never play again.
 
In fairness, BCC's info is normally spot on. OLM and PTs were very hit and miss and injected with either self interest or self opinions. Sure sometimes they had interesting info, and PT more so than OLM but on the whole, was usually gossip.

As an example I'm still waiting on St Nick to put his side of the story of how he was unfairly treated.

I'm happy BCC is telling the truth tbh.
 
Have we been caught offside at all this season??? We're not getting behind defences....Simpson and Aluko linked up well from watching the Football League highlights...what's the harm in starting these two up front against Bolton! Prosch off the bench on 65mins

Thanks. Im not in this for me or self serving and I only post inside info very occasionally rather than on an almost daily basis, but when I do it is correct.

Cullen is on loan at Bury! On a more serious note, I heard Proschwitz being given offside against Blackburn.
 
We are going backwards in terms of ball possession - the tiger tac has definitely left us. Simmo def looked a lot sharper once he came on, I'd actually go Simmo/Aluko upfront
 
Slip down the league? We've only played 3 games and you're worried about relegation! Success isn't instant, give him chance.
I remember the relegation season from the Prem everybody was saying Jozy was a great player and keep on with him, he ended up with one or two goals and we were screwed. This won't happen this time but we won't make the play-offs if we keep waiting for a player to score, get Simpson in the team and let Prozzy see a few matches from the bench, who is to say he can't come off the bench and affect a game and get his confidence that way. Bruce doesn't need to justify his transfer by playing him and he has had more than the couple of games that I keep seeing written here. I think Bruce might have a plan B with the transfer window coming anyway fingers crossed.
