Impossible to know the nuances and futile and silly to pontificate without that detail.

Quoted from ginnywings


I would imagine that part of the reason PH wanted a HoR was to take some of the burden off himself. He spent many a night and weekend travelling around watching games by all accounts.


And probably to decipher all the data that now comes with a player, especially the lads who have come through academies at big clubs.

Lloyd is the only new one cup tied.

But Dickson-Peters and Emmanuel couldn't play for us in the original tie, thus are ineligible for the replay.

In other words, I'd rest Danilo on Saturday as he absolutely has to play on Tuesday night, as we have no alternative.


I've wasted my life in black and white, a pathetic act for a worthless cause

I think we will be relying on the same squad that played the first game.


You can please some of the forumites some of the time but not all the forumites all of the time

None of them can play the replay but some of them would be able to play against Southampton if we get past Luton.

My personal opinion on location is that we will always struggle. As someone has pointed out , realistically we have maybe Sheffield that's a sensible drive away..
Whereas places like Solihull for example have many many cities around them. Much more likely to attract players in the sense of location.

I think the window went OK. I think we have a good solid mid table squad and we've just added some potential fire power upfront and a full back to push Miche for a spot. I'm happy with this season so far, even if some games have been awful to watch (Swindon away wasn't awful to watch, we just got battered by a very good footballing side)

Sat reading this and the cup tied thing pops up, isn’t it time to get rid of this nonsense rule given they place so much emphasis on transfer windows? Seems like a draconian ruling that is just pointless. They’re our players now, we should be able to let them do their job…

My understanding is the champions league did away with a rule after a certain point in the competition.

We need to see the new players in action before we can draw any definitive conclusions regarding the business we did in the window. Let’s see if we get any clues today.

Solihull,  Walsall, Rochdale and countless others show you can be surrounded by big cities and in theory have a wider choice of players, but as their lack of success shows location is only a small part of the equation.

Salary, manager, existing players, being in demand, how big the club is and a clubs reputation are all bigger factors IMO.
