Look at the replies... a fair few.

That last one is the info I needed.

Well, I hate to side with Forest fans on anything but their club is well and truly screwing their fans over. They’ve announced their season ticket prices and they’re frankly disgusting. Tickets going up 200% in 2 years, shifting age categories so some tickets going up £700… you name it, they’re doing it. My missus, for my sins, has a season ticket and hers has gone up £200 since the Championship - and this is after giving them money during COVID to keep them going. Meanwhile, the club gleefully crow about having 10,000 on a season ticket waiting list. Pay up, or another customer (not fan, customer) will do. Latest in a long line of things where their ownership really doesn’t get the difference between fans and customers. Premier league? You can keep it.

Nah, Kid Super is a yank. He may have some connection with the stateside ownership portion of Barnsley, potentially, but he's nothing to do with Barnsley themselves.

Do it for Bloomers

This was a bad retro redesign of one of their old kits. So, luckily, no chance we would have it.

I was only offering a reason why he might not be in Cardiff's thoughts. I, obviously, don't know if he is or isn't. But changes in managers isn't an uncommon cause of players leaving.

A different manager signed him for Cardiff than the one they currently have.

I’d go with this but I’d put Thompson ahead of Bird so he can utilise his best attribute - his pressing. I’d also drop Hourihane off the bench for Fornah just to stop Warne putting him on. Has to be tempting to go back to 433 with Barkhuizen fit again and CBT there. Wouldn’t be against that. Dropping Bradley, of course.

Not quite, but I have this nagging reoccurring day dream about Junior and Mat Svensson being the world’s greatest strike force for 3 games and it being cut short before the world knew it.

I was a kid as well, it’s their fault I’ve had this life of torment.

yeah, they're ugly. weren't great at the time, and without the Errea badge they're even worse - and all I can picture is Ravanelli in them which makes it even worse.

Don't necessarily need it in the right balance of a midfield. Currently, he would be the only one I'd consider playing and every one else would be new. Need a player who can cover ground and be as aggressive as he is whether it's him or not. Win it, cover spaces, give it simple. Warne ain't as daft as he sounds though, if we can't keep Adams, he will have ideas of alternatives. and you can guarantee they would be a similar athlete.

Hard to say with him bursting on the scene with Cocu, but think he's right up there, for sure.

No, we're not Fulham.

Dont confuse the ability to drop a shoulder and beat a man with the ability to sprint. He’s too slow to be a winger, and that’s fine because he isn’t one (the original point was he couldn’t do what CBT can do). He suits Wing Back well.

I love Sibley as much as anyone, but he couldn’t do CBT’s role. Sibley runs in treacle, which is frankly why he hasn’t hit the heights we thought he might when he broke through.

It did look a bit like that, but after he got mobbed, he then did clap the fans.

Won’t make any bones about not being his biggest fan. I think even at his best this season he’s merely been “fine”, which for what we are presumably paying him and the fanfare that surrounded his arrival, has been a disappointment to say the least. He’s made several errors and for a 6ft5 monster I don’t think I can remember a centre back so tentative. Would do himself some favours by attacking the ball and leaving the wrestling out of it. I questioned the reasoning for his inclusion yesterday given his recent performances and what he did at Northampton, but it seems Warne may have known about Orient’s inability to defend crosses and it really worked. Hats off on that. He was untested defensively, although did give away a couple of poor free kicks first half. The announced man of the match seemed a bit of a stretch, there were 3 or 4 players more deserving.

Three goals from corners was misleading somewhat, just in the second half alone Sibley and NML missed 1 on 1s and Washington somehow managed to miss two good chances in injury time. Good performance overall. I rolled my eyes at Bradley regaining his place after his outing at Northampton and whilst I still loathe his inability to defend without wrestling, he clearly did the business in the opposition box. Luckily we were barely tested at the back. Maybe Warne had done his homework on their crossing fragility? Felt like there was more urgency and intensity from early in the game. We were even taking throw ins quite quickly..! Novel idea given our usual penchant for taking ages and throwing it to the opposition. Wilson lively early, Adams everywhere, Thompson pressed well. One of Collins best games for me even without scoring. Came short and held the ball up properly.

Arsenal have scored the most in the premier league this season. Big, physical Arsenal.

Don’t know who the trialist is but he scored. And McAndrew scored 2 minutes later. 2-0 currently.

Have you seen some of the striking options we've trotted out?
