scored the goal to get up promoted to the Championship, key player in our first season in the Championship when we got to the playoffs, bossed the next season and would have got a move to a Premier League team if some Ipswich dickhead hadnāt broken his leg and put him out for a couple of years (tbh Iām amazed heās gone there, if Iād had my career ruined at a ground I wouldnāt move there permanently).
not been great since he came back but scored at Arsenal which was ace, probably wants to play and wasnāt going to be first choice for us now
Heāll be welcomed with open arms by us. Like the 3rd time weāve tried to sign him I think. Little Luke Hyam, whose poor tackle scuppered his leg, has moved on from the club.
Starting to feel like all hope isnāt lost for town. But it probably is
yeah I heard that Hyam had gone. McCarthy was a bit of a dick about the whole thing iirc and heās gone too. probably helps. heās not the same player he was before the injury though, definitely lost something but his set pieces are still good.
bradford have resigned billy clarke <3 fans are grumbling cos we havenāt brought in a targetman but Iām chuffed, missed loads of sitters for us but was a lovely player to watch and clearly likes the club
He hasnāt had a sniff under Lampard, and very few starts under Rowett so not played first team for getting on 2 years. He became a bit of a whipping boy for the fans so very few here are sad to see him go. That said, he is a pretty decent midfielder who will get a few goals too. League One should suit him
Forest were shite today but couldāve easily 4 or 5 with a more composure in front of goal. Grabban was excellent, everything seemed to stick to him. Obviously take him off pens though, I think thatās 4 misses this year - yikes. MON seems to think Watson should be starting, which is frankly astonishing given the evidence.
I thought Brentford were unlucky, but the two centre backs were easily bullied, a real weak link in an excellent team. Everything Forest created was off the back of weak centre back play, hopeful punts forward causing far too much trouble.
Heās been discharged and is apparently ok. But it was a pretty worrying turn, had to be treated with oxygen etc. Bielsa went straight off to visit him at hospital yesterday
Itās painful as a neutral watching a team like Ipswich who are so crap but also woefully out of luck. Pennington might be one of the worst centre-halves at Championship level - looks like a fish up a tree.
these things go hand in hand though innit when yr so lacking in confidence like they are things are more likely to go against you
FWIW we werenāt even that good yesterday, we just took our chances when they came, a better team would have punished us (and have at times this season)
