Forest have been playing 4-2-3-1 so expect us to mirror that with Harwood bellis appearing as a right back

Comparison of these two lads from City and Everton makes me appreciate just how good Phil Jones was at the same age.

It's another mulgrew situation. May well have told old Tony what he thinks of him

Wagner also on short list according to BBC sport

Nevermind four days he's had four years to drill the back four and look where we are at.

Not long after he arrived didn't Mowbray question the value of having a category a academy with rather having the money for the first team. The loaning of these young defenders with very little first team experience has to be seriously questioned. Inevitably they will make mistakes but not for our benefit whereas our own academy players would be learning to our benefit. These loans are not the same as when tosin arrived with a seasons worth experience with west brom at championship level.

Kevin Gallagher on the radio made comments about some players body language during the game not being right

It's certainly the preferred option of some clubs for a second year running. If you take a view that this is now endemic within the population and will vary in extent on which season it is need to be finding alternatives

Chorley match yesterday was the only one in national league north to be played others postponed due to weather and clubs refusing to play. The season resumed whilst the vote on whether to continue or finish remains outstanding with clubs having a 28 day period to vote. Why restart when you may stop again in two weeks. National league threaten clubs who refuse to play with fines and point awarded to opponent. Bradford pa have voted to stop on the grounds they didn't agree for the second tranche of money to be a loan earlier in the season. Their opponents Farsley Celtic have also voted to stop so national league can't award points to opponents in this case. Bradford say why restart season and spend thousands they don't have when result in a few weeks of the vote may see season ended. Makes sense. National league have got themselves in a right mess if clubs can't afford to play the game how do they expect them to pay a fine. It is also possible for the individual national leagues to vote with a different outcome it appears. Would they not be better having a lengthy pause and restarting again say in May and playing during the summer when covid rates are lower and there is a possibility of fans getting back in the grounds to some degree and generate some income to maintain the clubs. Some out of the box thinking is required rather than just giving up

The next time Swag starts whingeing about I follow take up he should be referred to Parson's post in this thread. It's a pity Mowbray doesn't get more involved with the coaching during the week it would give him less time contemplating his navel worrying about the opposition and devising nonsensical scheme's to nullify their fantasised strengths

Does better when Gewurtztraminer is alongside

Solidly consistent German number that gets results

Pike is a predator in the pond which we are currently fishing in.

Tyler on the bench for tonight's game against Dundee United

Think if the end product was better Brennan wouldn't have been returned from Fylde and would also be closer to the first team

Ex Rover Jayson leutwiler signed for Huddersfield

More chance of being a starter at pne you would think

We already lost one centre half to the nobenders don't want to be loosing another. Tell him he's definitely starting this time Tony!

Think big Sam will take a pragmatic view. It would appear kipre has not shown him in training any reason to be selected. If he can save some wages to put toward another player then he will

Joe Hilton gone to Ross county on loan

Was this the one we lost 5-0. Seem to rember 6 foot deep snow drifts at side of the road above oswaldtwistle on the way there

? Wouldn't say west brom are well established premier league club. Thought it came out after bilic left that he wasn't his signing.

Two tests against new Zealand announced for the start of June the venue chosen of egbaston and Lords suggest ecb banking on much reduced covid rates by then. Be surprised if this happens with new Zealand government policy unlikely to be okay travel to UK unless we have a grip on things with in four months

Last season after 25 games we had conceeded 31 with a far worse keeper!

Agree about the better keeper. In my opinion Lenihan has regressed. Is Ayala any better than tosin?
