Thread | Inhalers
at 15:52 17 Dec 2024
Something I completely forgot about and not sure what game it was in but recently noticed Chaplin using an inhaler during one of his 30 minute sit downs. Has anyone else noticed this? I know there was something about the Liverpool teams use of inhalers at one point, wonder if we’ve also got a lot of players using them? |

Thread | 1% away
at 14:30 10 Dec 2024
Sam Morsy didn’t have a great game on Sunday, but I’ve still been singing ‘He’s Egyptian’ to myself all week.
It feels like we’re 1% away from being a mid-table team. The only problem is that 1% is a massive jump at this level. We’re not getting embarrassed as a team and are competing with all of the teams we’d want to be competing with. It’s just that 1% of quality, experience and depth that we’re missing. And actually that makes me proud and shows how much we’ve stepped up already this season. Our squad value is £100million lower than anyone else’s, it’s £250million below the average premier league squad value. Our two most ‘premier league’ players are both 21 and in their first season in the premier league. And yet we’re competing, we’re 1% away.
And yes, that 1% might be the reason we go down. In all honesty I’m not sure what else anyone can do without breaking FFP. And if we do go down, we’ll still be in one of the best positions the club has ever been in. Various ground upgrades, a new training centre, a vastly improved squad compared to a few seasons ago, the club moving in a clear direction with a clear plan, parachute payments and valuable assets.
We’ve got to stick together and stick with the team. Whatever happens this season, we’ve still got our club back.

Thread | Team for Sunday?
at 08:54 6 Dec 2024
—————————— Muric
Johnson — O’Shea — Burgess — Davis
——————— Morsy — Cajuste
—Hutchinson — Szmodics — Broadhead
—————————— Delap
I think that’s what I’d be going with, get Szmodics playing off Delap and get Hutchinson back on the right. |

Thread | Ref and Tuesday
at 18:03 30 Nov 2024
Lots of hate towards the ref online, I didn’t think he had a bad game? Lots of niggly fouls and diving about but don’t think he got a lot wrong.
Tuesday I feel like Broadhead needs to start on the left, he looked lively when he came on. Szmodics on the bench to replace Delap later on |

Interesting to hear that he’s tearing it up at Leeds. Looked very good for Fortuna in pre-season, one that we should have been in for? |

Thread | Sir Bobby dynasty via McKenna
at 10:41 25 Nov 2024
I know the link to Sir Bobby via Mourinho has been spoken of but I wonder how far that’s going to continue through the current players? I know a few of them done some of their coaching badges previously and I can really see McKenna inspiring them to move into coaching / management. I think:
Chaplin will be a great coach / manager one day
Morsy will manage Egypt
Burgess is highly regarded for his tactical knowledge and gets involved with coaching some of the younger ages
Szmodics another who could be a decent manager potentially
Any others?

Any guesses who were a fair way down the line with? I’m assuming it’ll be a company with local links.
Adnams?
Green King?
MSC?

Get him off for Clarke fairly early in the second half? Playing really well but worried about that yellow card and prem refs enthusiasm for sending our players off!! |

Thread | The journey
at 10:02 28 Oct 2024
Seeing Hirst score and celebrate with Chappers on the weekend really made me realise that we’re still very much on a journey and we haven’t reached our destination yet. And what a monumental journey it’s been.
People said Hirst wouldn’t score in the Championship, he’s now a premier league goalscorer and doesn’t look out of place
Chappers dropped to league one, he’s now captained a premier league team
Burns was plying his trade with Fleetwood, sold for £60k, he’s now a premier league player
Wolfie was on the way out of a league one side having been deemed not good enough or too lazy, he’s now a premier league defender
Burgess was deemed a back up league one defender, he’s now up against some of the best strikers in the world
Morsy was deemed surplus to requirements at Boro, he dropped down a league and two promotions later, he’s a premier league captain
Leif was deemed a massive signing but he cost us £1million, he’s now getting asked questions about playing for England
We actually signed a loan player that we all fell in love with on a 5 year contract, he’s our own player now
And these milestones are going to keep popping up throughout this season and beyond. I’m incredibly proud of my club and the players, it’s so easy to lose sight of that when results aren’t going our way but we’ve got to keep backing the team, it’s what they deserve |

Thread | Szmodics- next ITFC captain?
at 17:23 16 Aug 2024
Just watched his interview. A lot more intelligent than I would have anticipated. Clearly a player who leads by example and I think the way he’s handled the transfer has spoken volumes about him. Think he could be our Jamie Vardy and also potentially our next captain after Morsy |

But nothing in there about flying season ticket holders out there and giving them a free ticket? Why on earth am I paying every month for a season ticket if I’m not going to get to see every game?? |

Thread | Building a dynasty
at 20:16 9 Jul 2024
Feels a bit like we’re building a dynasty doesn’t it? One of the best coaches in the country and we’re signing players at the right at who are far from their peak with so much room to develop. If we can stay up this year then we’re really going to be building something aren’t we? Exciting to imagine where we could be in 3 years time if we can develop these players to their full potential. |

Thread | Youngster coming in
at 16:41 15 Jun 2024
Really really hope this is a big part of our strategy this summer and moving forwards, bringing in young players to supplement our academy is going to be so important moving forwards and feels like something we’ve been lacking for a very long time. We’re still going to lose some of our best academy products to the big boys but I really hope we can continue to pick up these sorts of players from other academies. |

Thread | Starting 11 vs Barnsley
at 10:55 28 Apr 2024
This is ridiculous isn’t it? Three changes to the starting 11 from Barnsley last year, one of which was on the bench anyway. Only two new players in the starting 11 and we’ve gone from securing promotion from league one to having the chance to secure promotion to the premier league. It’s crazy how much McKenna has improved every member of this squad.

at 14:09 10 Mar 2024
Anyone heard any whispers? Would be good to see a couple of bands lined up for the summer to bring in some extra revenue. Or do we think the pitch needs another year before it can handle that sort of thing?
Lots of admin - Snuts crossovers in various videos so wonder if they might be one we see at some point? |

Thread | Prem vs Champ
at 13:22 23 Dec 2023
Looks very Premier League vs Championship so far, and that’s understandable given the two squads. These aren’t the games that are going to define our season. They look a lot better than us and I think it’ll be similar with Leicester in the next game, but by consistently beating those teams that don’t have parachute payments we can still have an incredible season. No need to panic, the way we play we’re going to come unstuck against some of the top teams, but I’d still rather that than going back to Mick football and desperately trying to grab draws. |
