Re: MATCHWATCH : MK Dons (h)

First half, we played some really neat football. Just missing a striker or a bit of a wild card.
Second half was a slog, sure.

Re: MATCHWATCH : MK Dons (h)

The other thought is our press is actually working today, we're properly stopping them putting anything together.

Re: MATCHWATCH : MK Dons (h)

Giving it some beans.

Yiadom has the running of their left back.
Elliott solid so far.

Only thing missing is a goal?

Re: Rival Watch

I wonder what the season long stats look like for manager sackings? I'd expect the week before an International Break is quite a common time to let someone go (for example, Bruce and Bloomfield in the past few days) as it potentially gives whoever comes in more time with the squad (assuming their w...

Re: MATCHWATCH : MK Dons (h)

Sort of enjoyed watching these games so far, don't care about the result, like seeing the new / younger faces.

Re: Club culture - are problems deeper than management?

Teams with a great Culture can under perform Is there an example of this? Current team performance is probably more due to team management, injuries and individuals being off form... Put this in reverse order and I think we might agree. With a large turnover of players, you're not going to have eve...

Re: Injury watch 2025/26

On the Grass really has just become a completely meaningless phrase now hasn’t it? Be nice if journos didn’t just accept that as an answer Contact makes a bit more sense - guessing it’s still a couple of weeks min for Paudie I assume 'on the grass' means out of the gym and actually kicking a ball a...

A compromise might be pinning (and then locking?) a post with just the links to the key threads?

Re: Players on international duty

Camara Rushesha O'Mahoney are the most likely and that takes us to the 3, right? Dorsett is also a possible, Garcia depending on England age groups No idea where Exeter are on this - two or three look possible. Garcia surely won't be called up with his injury. Camara is also currently injured isn't...

Re: FA Cup 2025-26

The only "little" club near to me are AFC Totton. Eastleigh (not so little) still have a tricky away fixture and I wouldn't want them after the embarrassment of last time. Is this round still regional? No, as above. While the 4th qualifying is the stage that the National League comes in, ...

Re: MATCHWATCH : West Ham United U21

From another thread, in Club Policies

Location
• 0-10 miles - 53%
• 10-20 miles - 21%
• 20-30 miles - 7%
• 30-50 miles - 9%
• 50+ miles - 10%
• Outside UK - 3%


(50+ miles and outside UK share that 3%, I think)

Re: MATCHWATCH : West Ham United U21

From my own experience a lot of Reading fans who go to Saturday games live some way from the ground. Around where I sit there are 4 from Didcot and one from Honiton another lives near Brentford's ground so any evening games are far from easy. I grew up two roads away from Elm Park and, possibly bec...

Re: MATCHWATCH : West Ham United U21

First half was tidy but broadly unthreatening. Second half took advantage of a weak-ish red card. Everyone looked OK-ish, but while no-one looked out of place, that rubs both ways (yes, looking at you Kelv and Elliott). Glad O'Mahoney scored and it was nice to see pretty much everyone celebrate with...

Not a player but convinced we'd have had a play-off campaign had Selles stayed.
