That would be nice but I will settle for one goal more than Coventry of any description by any player. Screamer from 30 yards, overhead kick, scrambled goal after a mistake from their goalie on an own goal. Anything will do. [Post edited 30 Apr 17:46]

I like Paul Cook, a good lower league manager. I live close to Chesterfield and have seen them live twice this season. Dobra looked good as well. Good fortune to both of them but neither are ITFC quality.. [Post edited 30 Apr 17:41]

I just looked up his stats. 143 goals from 197 League appearances for Ipswich. Outstanding. |

At least they will not get away with it unlike Manchester City who are The FA's talisman. It happens in all aspects of life, The Army, The Police, large corporations etc. They find the most junior person/football club possible that has any responsibility and c*ap on them. I would not be suprised to see some middle manager carrying the can for the Post Office scandal. [Post edited 27 Apr 3:00]

He is suggesting British Jews are Israeli when in fact they are British. I have a Jewish family who lives on my street and they are as British in culture as I am. They are appalled at what is going on in Gaza and despise Netanyahu as as an awful lot of actual Israeli's do. [Post edited 22 Apr 6:27]

Some London team I forget the name of as it was over 30 years ago 8 Gooch Plastics 1. I did score though. Second was RAF Kimbolton 6, 657 Squadron Army Air Corps 0. [Post edited 11 Apr 20:35]

At least Marcus Evans kept us solvent. We moan about him a lot but there are much worse owners than he was. |

I have heard that they may re-roof the west stand and connect it to the Sir Bobby and Sir Alf stands. If that is so and the new main stand looks like that in would be a little like a smaller Anfield. That would be amazing. The Capacity looks like it could be in the high 30 thousands. |

Yes but there are many people like me. I am a young older person and only two of the 15 are younger than me. One man turns 65 in April and they ask/tell him he must work out a long term plan, he retires in 13 months. If they want to save money scrap these schemes. The Government has a 20% loss rate funding them. [Post edited 12 Mar 10:08]

Utter tripe. I am out of work. I am well qualified, have good general experience and a good record. I served 22 years in The Army and left with the rank of Warrant Officer class 2 (Sergeant Major). I am 52 and have applied for many jobs even those below my level so to speak. I have to go to a partronising 5 hour group meeting in Derby once a week which is 14 miles away. They have a similar meeting in Nottingham which is only 8 miles away but as I live in Derbyshire I have to go to Derby. There have been no buses since the pandemic and I cannot afford to insure my car so I have to ask friends or family to take me. They tell me that employers do not descriminate against older people. When I pointed out to my 19 year old advisor that out of the 30 or so employees at the centre not one looked over 40 she just shruged it off. If you'e over 50 they don't want to know. Tell me, will cutting National Insurance benefit you? With respect attitudes like yours make me seeth. [Post edited 10 Mar 10:19]

With respect to Woolfenden and Burgess Rodon and Ampadu are a class above Woolfy and two above Burgess. I am in no way slating our players as they do their best but Wolfy is an average to above average Championship defender and Burgess is a good League One Defender. Who in our non loan squad is genuine Championship class? Davis, Morsy, Chapers and Tuanzabe are good Championship standard. Broadhead, Woolfenden and Luongo are lesser Championship standard and Clarke/Hirst are on the verge. Humphreys will be but he has a long way to go. The rest are League One standard. That is not criticism it's at least IMO fact. [Post edited 10 Mar 2:09]

Thread | Davis reminds me of Alexander-Arnold.
at 00:07 10 Mar 2024
Both are great players at their level but neither are great defenders. Davis is more of a wing-back and could also be good as a wide midfielder whilst TAA is more of a deep lying playmaker. The problem is we don't have the players that suit a 5 at the back formation. |

Reply | Would you take Downes back on loan?
at 17:22 9 Mar 2024
I liked Cook which cannot be said for his two predecessors, especially Lambert. He is a good manager who was a little out of his depth. I am glad he is doing well at Chesterfield. Amando Dobra is his boy and it's good to see him also doing well. I did not dislike Hurst as a man, he was just well out of his depth. Lambert though, rumours of him berating players, telling them he was much better than they could never be made him a total D-Head. Wayne Rooney was light years better than Lambert but he was loved by his players at Derby. [Post edited 9 Mar 17:23]

It seems he will not make the grade at West Ham. Out of all the young high potential kids we had 5 or 6 years ago he has progressed the furthest with the exception of loanees Carter-Vickers and Chalobah. If we are not promoted I think he would be great on loan. If we do get promoted Chalobah would be an excellent loan. [Post edited 9 Mar 2:51]
