  1. Maybe it's because terms haven't been agreed with his current club?
  2. Will they have to spend time on a barge waiting for their visas? Will we have to wait until the end of the season for the Home Office to process them?
  3. Has anyone looked at the match highlights on the MFC website. There are several views of the disallowed goal, including from just behind the goal line, and I'm not convinced the ball was fully over the line when Crooks crossed it. The assistant referee was still running back towards the goal line when he flagged it as out. Another comment, something I've noticed many times last season, and during yesterday's game, is how poor our marking/awareness is of opposition players coming into the box from the opposite side of the goal to the player with the ball. Everyone seems to get drawn to th
  4. Witness protection, or on the run?
  5. I wonder how many games televised by Sky we have won? May just be me but when I discovered we were on Sky I felt an instant foreboding.
  6. We'd have kids running across the pitch every week to get his autograph and/or a selfie.
  7. I think the problem Wilder has, and his comments to some extent support this, is that we do not move the ball forward quickly enough. Teams come to Riverside to sit back and hit us on the break. Reading even did it at home to us. It's proven more successful for teams than trying to attack us. Any manager bringing a team to the Riverside is likely to be happy with a draw, so not conceding is their priority. Unfortunately his reliance on attacking CDs has been stymied, either by injury, poor team selection, or disappointing recruitment. Dael Fry defends well but is reluctant to make positive for
  8. Is it possible that Wilder's apparent lack of faith in some of our strikers is more the case that he has decided to tweak his formation in an attempt to bolster the defensive side our our game and to try to reduce the incidences of us being hit on the break?
  9. What's all the fuss about? We got our marquee signing, albeit a year later and only on loan.
  10. Why are some people assuming that Fry will automatically go now that we seem to have signed Clarke? We now have cover/competition for the three CB positions. That is Wilder's declared aim for each position.
  11. Wilder's declared aim is to have at least two players vying for every position.
  12. The issue to me seems to be a lack of discipline or cohesion in our centre backs, inasmuch that when we get caught out by a breakdown in our attack we have two of our centre backs too far upfield. Maybe that's Wilder's intention but I would have expected that if one of our centre backs goes forward the other two stay back to cover. If one overlaps down the left the one on the right drops back and vice versa.
  13. Maybe there was pressure from the buying club and the player? Bit like we are, presumably, with Larsen.
  14. Didn't someone comment on a flight from Teesside to Amsterdam a couple of days ago?
  15. Maybe it was instigated by the club to flush out a source and now the *** has hit the fan.
