Hirst was never supposed to it himself though, his role is to hold up the ball, move the defence and grab on to scraps.
Hirst is being seen as ineffective because Chaplin's form has dropped and we've become more reliant on our wingers (mainly Broady and Burns) to cut in and shoot.
I'd rather we drop 3m on a new AMC, to challenge Chaplin, or a new MC, to free Taylor to be played as an AMC given he's preferred over Evans and Ball. |

Technically and physically, the difference between Championship and League 2 is fairly minimal.
The difference between a Championship player and a League 2 players is mainly in mental skills such as how they receive and adapt to coaching, their football intelligence on the pitch, and their resilience to adversity.
McKenna is obviously a fantastic coach in terms of system development and having players embrace that. I'd say our recruitment philosophy is on obtaining intelligence footballers who can be molded into a system vs technically gifted players.
I think back to the likes of JET who had technical skills in abundance but would fade out of games or leave us exposed. I suspect the reason we didn't push harder for Celina is the same reason. |

Well, no ticket for me as an international fan despite membership.

There's the machete order:
4 and 5.
Then 1, 2, and 3.
Back to 6.
From there... see how invested they are. Clone Wars and Rebels are very good series but you have to get past the first season for them to find their footing.
The Mandalorian, Book of Boba Fett, and Ahsoka are enjoyable after 1-6 have been watched.
7, 8 and 9 I'd only add after 6 if the audience is younger. |

Complete loss of control. Every tap is a foul, anything more than 3 seconds is a delay. Utterly ridiculous. |

But the two players blocking the Derby goalkeeper in the 27th minute to prevent a Derby counter attack was a tactical piece of genius. Delayed the play of the ball long enough for us to get back into position. |

Can our defenders learn to protect Walton's back and anticipate having to clear a rebound? |

His Arsenal contract expires this summer.
Time to sign him up in Jan. |

Super Blues shouldn't be referred to anyone a) outside of the Prem b) hasn't worn numerous trophies including a continental competition.
The Tractorboys/Tractorgirls not only refers to the heritage of the club but is very unique and identifiable. Living abroad in a very agricultural area, the Tractorboys as a nickname has caused more of a connection with the local Canucks than a very generic, not suitable nickname such as "Super Blues".
"Super Blues" is best reserved for how the world feels on the third Monday of January. |

So the agent rumour is, Haaland wants a few years in all of the major European leagues to prove he's the best (avoiding the arguments like "Messi's only good in Spain"/"Ronaldo's only good against farm teams"). |

At least it's been fixed now so we don't have to listen to Bolton FM's commentary in the background. |

Valour is my local team in Winnipeg and the consensus is that he's been smoking the whacky tobaccy, likely a former hockey player who forgot the rules of football. |
