So like, Pape can't hit an open goal from 18 yards out. Not surprised. I'm sure Cantwell actually says "I'll give you £100, if he gets this" to the Skysports presenter, which suggests he doesn't rate Pape much either. Oh, and Pears dropped the ball 🤦‍♂️

I think that whole assessment is absolutely spot on 👌

Looks to be 2 tiers below them, goes to regional level. Tier 5 - North West Regional Football League, Prem division Tier 6 - North West Regional Football League Div 1

He's the last of the famous 5 (Tronstad, Travis, Hyam, Brittain & Dolan) that we really needed to keep hold of and build a team around this summer. Plan seems to be working well so far............

Only loan I could see being recalled would be O'Riordan. He can cover at centre back with Wharton and Carter still out, would allow Miller to shift to RWB if needed also. I still think we'll just shove Hedges at RWB and be done with it.

Don't think they were bots as such but there were definitely some people who had clearly been paid to be Pro-Venkys, ultra positive about the club early in the season. Remember having an "argument" with one about Eustace being a better manager than VI. He was on my case a lot when Derby were below us but dropped off quickly after Derby got their act together.

I think the interview was with BBC Lancs, post Oxford game I think.

Completely agree with the midfield pairings but tbh, I'm yet to find a midfield pairing I do like. Tronstad has to be 1 of the 2 in any pairing but: Sonny & TGH: Best we can do at the moment. Not enough creativity between them. Sonny & Forshaw: As above but with slightly less energy as Forshaw hasn't got the legs anymore. Sonny & Taveres: Just the worst pairing. They both end up occupying the same space. Taveres is the opposite of the high workrate of TGH. Sonny & Montgomery: Montgomery has the energy and work rate but has gotten lost in games to an extent and also has the same lack of creativity as TGH. Sonny & Baradji: Feel like this will be the one for a few months at the end of the season before Sonny leaves in the summer and we're back to square 1.

I'm sure Ismael was asked in an interview (BBC Lancs, i think) about Carter suggesting on social media that he's nearly back, VI responded saying he was still some way off yet and his post was more likely regarding being mentally on the right track. I think Carter is still some months away from a return. I think the most likely option to replace Alebiosu at RWB would be Hedges shifted over and De Neve/Yuri play on the left. TGH is a possibility but there is no one left to play CM if he goes.

Confirmed now by the club.

Ismael has described Sidnei Taveres as "one for the future". He (badly) clarified that he means Taveres needs to learn and develop more and not put pressure on him. He could very well be lined up to replace Tronstad in the summer.

Ismael has got a slight problem on his hands now, as he's already praised the impact of Cantwell and has recently been singing the praises of Mori. He's probably going to have to try and accommodate both of them. If Cantwell is fit to start (don't see why he wouldn't be now), how will he line up so get them both on the pitch? ---------------Pears -----Miller--McLoughlin--Pratt Alebiosu----------------------Ribeiro --------Tronstad---Cantwell ---------------Mori ------Gudjohnsen--Ohashi I think that's what he'll end up doing.

I get the overall message and have no problems with that but that first sentence is just a complete and total fucking lie.

The dude has run a clubhouse for years and you're turning that experience down?

This isn't the first time this rumour has been doing the rounds. I'm sure, it was bollox last time as well, could be wrong on that though.
