at 17:09 10 Jan 2025

Phil you've thrown another element with a sneaky increase to £22 mil....

Not sure Villa will stop until they get enough.

Just realized Man City get extra 2 days rest!!
at 22:59 7 Jan 2025

Wtf. We Play Brighton Thursday and then Man City Sunday. They Play Tuesday/Sunday. That's a huge advantage for them who really don't need giving an advantage. That's crazy.

Almost certainly means we'll need to make changes for the City game.

Rio Morgan

Lad seems to be progressing well and always in amongst the goals. Anyone seen much of him live and might he be one who might get a shot off the bench in the cup or something?

Any other young gems coming through we should be looking out for?

See as well Ryan Carr has just returned from his short loan at Gateshead but only made 3 appearances. Maybe make the bench? Probably not as think we will go strong but would be good to see 2-3 youngsters on the bench.

Leicester PSR rules

Looks like Leicester are in trouble again with PSR and being reported they are likely to be charged. You would expect at least a 6 point deduction!

Osman Foyo - question for Phil
at 12:55 3 Jan 2025

Phil was Foyo playing as a striker for Chelmsford? Thought he was a winger (or playing wide forward)? That's a fantastic goal return out on loan for a young lady. 13 goals in first half of season.

Anyone else looking forward to more "stress free" FA cup game?
at 18:34 1 Jan 2025

I know we've dropped the ball in cups in recent years but really looking forward to a game we can just enjoy without the high stress of the Prem games which age you? Also find myself really interested in our quality squad getting games etc in last few years. So how do we set up. (Interesting in prem with more recovery time whether he goes strong or gives more game time out e.g. Philips or Luongo for example). I'll go with:

Walton
Johnson Woolf Burgess Townsend
Phillips Taylor
Burns Chaplin Clarke
Broadhead

Imagine Al Hamadi if he hasn't gone out on loan.

Luongo off the bench.

Ins and outs in Jan
at 13:54 28 Dec 2024

Firstly happy to keep any of our squad but clearly we will need to make room for signings (so no disrespect to any of our squad on here).

Ogbene - assume won't be registered for second half of season to make room (is there any rules around long term injuries that may allow them back in squad?).
Luongo - what a signing he was. Wasted not making squads so would like to see him sold/loaned as he deserves to be playing week in and out at his age.
Al Hamadi - has to go out and play and learn the game.
Harry Clarke - think he needs to play regularly somewhere to keep progressing with plan for him to come back next season.
Slicker - needs to go and have a half season playing regularly.

Needed:

Critical - CF, RW, RB. 3 most important signings for us.
Probably needed: CM if Luongo goes.

Think that would probably be our business done.

Positives
at 23:02 27 Dec 2024

Hell of a tough game today but positives

1. Stuck at it, incredibly disciplined
2. McKenna tweaked and improved us (what a manager he is).
3. Key players getting back and fit (Greaves and Phillips played well.
4. Greaves, O'Shea, Woolf and Burgess are a good unit of CBs. O'Shea is different class. I do think Greaves can be as well (was the pick before his injury).
5. Axel and Hirst back next month and I think a fit squad and a couple of key additions and we have a chance. Small but a chance.
6. Muric was decent tonight (stop the noise).
7. Thought Broady looked great. His touch and close control is arguably best in team maybe along with Hutch (normally).

Well played lads. Proud of them.
at 22:13 27 Dec 2024

Bit of a painful first half to watch but understand what we were trying and most achieving.

McKenna got that second half tweak just about bang on and a pretty even 2nd half.

I'll say it Muric mad some excellent saves. Phillips grew into the game and Broadhead was excellent when he came on. Omari didn't have his best but he knew he had to try and force it at times.

Defence stood up really well tonight.

Could see us sniffing in Jan. Apparently Brighton are watching him. Would certainly suit the way we play. Decent size, very quick and loves closing down defenders. Lovely touch and feet. I know a lot of Cov fans see a lot of similarities with to Gyokeres. Don't be put off by the goals. He is now regular started and took time to find his feet, get feet and play more minutes. Starting to look really really good.

Worth another look? Always felt there was a player and wondered whether we might look at him in the summer as had an excellent season last year.

Seems to have kicked on again this year and prolific record.

Fits the model (age and stylistically). Seems to have matured physically and added goals to game. K ows the club. I imagine somewhere around £12-15 million might get him.

Just stand off and press second ball.

Trust McKenna to work this out at half time. Brilliant at that.

Sam Morsy dropping to L1....
at 20:04 24 Nov 2024

Unbelievable looking back and what were Middlesbrough thinking. What an unbelievable captain he is. It I've got to say despite his age he really has improved his game as well which is testament to him and probably also to McKenna.

He just looks like a Premier League player now. His passing and his body movement is very good. I was concerned his pace might cause him issues at this level but he's done really well.
