Old Spalding Ram

Sorry but... Yuk!  🤮
Looks like they're wearing a cheap flimsy lanyard that is blowing about in the wind.
Coupled with all the haphazard lines/pattern, it's far too messy for my liking!  Give me symmetry any day!

Seems obviously cheesed off from continuous loans. 
Like you say ex clubs supporters and managers seem to like the lad so it is rather surprising how nobody’s been interested in signing him permanently.
Anyway, I read an article in the East Anglia Times taken from the Beautiful Game Podcast, seems to sum up his career so far.
Since I was 17/18, every season I've had a big injury.
I played one game at Sheffield Wednesday. I came on and in the first two minutes I got injured (quad).
At Ipswich I had back-to-back injuries (hamstring and quad). I missed six months of the season, so it's be tough to say the least.
The second injury came on the last day of my hamstring rehab. The next day I had been due to train with the team.
When that happened my head was gone. I didn't know what to do. Thankfully my family were there to pick me up.
It's been bad. All the time questioning myself. 'What am I doing wrong?' 'What do I need to change?'
This can't keep happening. I can't keep having month after month of not playing. 
Shame really……………wish him well.

I started looking into strikers who had a lot of early promise, but as of yet haven’t hit the ground running in senior football. One name caught my eye - Tyreece John-Jules. 
A good size, athletically impressive but with the football ability to match. He started well for Ipswich last season, well liked by their fans, but injuries really cost him his chance of developing further. Now, there are rumours that he may join them permanently but I’d like to think we could jump in and offer him a more immediate route to regular football. 
No idea what Arsenal want, but would assume he’s cheap and available. He’s in the last year of his contract and now wants somewhere to settle - https://www.thesun.co.uk/sport/22461118/arsenal-transfer-news-tyreece-john-jules-ipswich/
In terms of value and upside, I doubt there will be many better options available to us this summer in that position. 

Are you trying to tell us he won't fancy a year on loan at a league 1 club.
Its the natural progression
Step 1. Start at one of the biggest clubs in Portugal with one of the best youth systems in Europe.
Step 2. Get poached by one of the worlds richest and currently most successful clubs who hoover up all the best young talent the world has to offer.
Step 3. Destroy all opposition you face in youth football at both domestic and international level and have clubs in top divisions court you for multi million pound move and first team football at Premier league level.
Step 4. Go on loan to a league 1 club.

I know it was only a Papa John's Pizza Cup match, Borges completely ruined Jake Rooney that night. Has to be one of the best individual performances I've seen from an away player at Pride Park in the last 20 years. Definitely should not be playing under 21 football. Even when he was limping around after an awkward fall, he still managed to outrun our entire defence. Made Dean Sturridge look like a snail. I haven't seen pace like it for a long time.

Forest are in for him, apparently, for around £20m - I really hope they don’t get him as he looked special on that outting against us last season. Head and shoulders the best player we saw last season. 

Nah, surely not, wasn't he a 40-a-day man?
Played like it.

Everyone knows we want a player this season who 'guarantees' 15/20+ goal at this level.
But anyone of that standard will be wanting to play Championship football. 
So unless you can pay massively over the odds - you go down two routes, either you buy a 'safe' player more of a 10-15 goal record (Washington) and hope he has the best season of his life so far or you go for the riskier option  eg young/untried on loan or the seasoned professional who has tailed off or even failed at his last club or two. 
Warne strikes me as more as a manager who goes for the safe option and thinks he can squeeze that bit more out of them.  So Assambalonga or Sharp seem unlikely to me, although McGoldrick may have convinced him otherwise. I'm expecting one of the more obvious options from Coventry or Rotherham and then a couple of young loanees.
 

Bloody Hell ……..used to have that record!
 
Me, Hector and a few others………….…..not Kevin, Cleo’s Mr Heathcote.😃

I was just replying to your comment regards the Supporters Board being independent from those groups who already have a voice within the club.
I was just expecting the constitution to be a little more …………………radical.👍

There's only 1 person, Ladies and Gentlemen I give...B4

"Stop asking us to pay more money for Jason knight and we'll let you have him for nothing" seems to be the most logical thing that has happened here.

Pinched from elsewhere.
 
Bristol City had to pay £100,000 in compensation to Forest Green Rovers last summer, despite signing Wilson on a free transfer, and would be keen to at least recoup some money for the 23-year-old.
Wilson was limited to just seven matches in what seems to be his first and final year at Ashton Gate. He didn’t start any Championship games and only came on as a substitute. He suffered a knee injury in October which took months to recover from, but even after recovering from injury, he was excluded from the squad for the last six games of the season.
 

If it was a choice between Sharp or Godden, I’d choose Godden every day. Surprised Coventry wouldn’t too, to be honest.

Pinched from Coventry Live.
Dated yesterday.
 
Coventry City 'hope to complete' transfer of Sheffield United legend.

Coventry will hope to win the race after coming so close to promotion last season, but Rotherham's proximity to Sheffield could sway his decision. Derby could swoop if the player is willing to drop into League One, but he has already publicly spoken about his disdain for the Rams.
"I wish I could play against them every week," he told SUTV after scoring a 90th minute winner against Derby two years ago?
"I think their fans were disrespectful to me today. I don't mind stick but if they're going to give me that all game, they deserve that back.
"I'm delighted I scored against them because I don't like them."
Nixon adds that Derby are interested in signing Coventry striker Matty Godden if the Sky Blues get Sharp. 
 
One last Championship payday for a 37 year old…………….he won’t be coming here.
 
 

I will!
A vindaloo at six o'clock should do it.

The story so far.

Well the back 6 is sorted
Gotta play two up front in this league, so that’s Collins and Washington.
Then perm any three from Smith, Bird, Hourihane, Sibley, Knight, Barkhuizen, Thomson & Mendez-Laing.
Personally, Smith in front the back three, Sibley & Hourihane behind the front two.
                                                       Wildsmith.
                            Nelson.                 Bradley.               Cashin.
          Ward.                                       Smith                                  Elder.
                               Sibley                                           Hourihane

                                          Collins           Washington 
 
…………………….enough to get out of this league already. 😃👍

Us on the 12.34 to Matlock because EMR only put on 2 carriages. 
 

He wasn't to bad technically, but I have never seen a defender with such poor positioning.
You’ll see hungover beer bellied waddlers down darley park with more positional sense

Watched his debut and thought...he'll settle, he'll get better.....
 
he didn't !!🙁

Not as bad as Bjørn Otto Bragstad…..there were local lads playing down the Racecourse who were better then him! 👍

Jim Smiths promotion season.
The Southend win was the seventh match, the eighth match was a 2-2 draw with Pompey and was the last match that John Harkes ever wore a Rams shirt.
