Gueye: 6 in 45 league games. Shefki: 7 in 34 league games (Premier)

Has Jim retired? ;-))

Rover is believed to be interested in linking up with his old manager, John Eustace. But did it mention Rover felt his working conditions had got worse, that the club had asked him to work for nothing and that Pasha/Gestede refused to pay his bus fare home?

Nobody with any sense or understanding of what is going on here does.

So that's on top of our 6 (?) in and 7 (?) out already? Stability, hmm. Who profits?

Tyjon - not commenting either way but just on one incident (which of course is not the best basis for judgement I know) -he received the ball on the edge of the box and for me, a hungry selfish instinctive striker takes a snap shot, he had the time but just lazily laid it off. Early days for him obviously and I know he is highly rated.

On their second goal, a bad back pass? Don't think so. More like a tool of a goalkeeper who thinks he is better than he is -simple first time pass available for him but preferred to take some touches as though he is some top international.

They might, the fabric is getting a bit ropey. 😉

Think making judgements on Trav and Tronstad on performance on Sat is a bit misleading. Not necessarily arguing with the fact that they are (good at this level) water carriers, I think non-footballing issues are affecting them. Trav is likely to go, clearly knows he is not wanted, so why go the extra 10%? Tronstad sees the mayhem around him, got a year left on a contract, and was clearly under par.

Thought the performances/body language of Travis and Tronstad tells us more about the state of the club than of the players themselves.

Incidentally, in case you haven't already, I urge all to read pp.500/501 on the summer transfer thread. Very interesting imo.

Wouldn't necessarily disagree.. ...so get your whistle out and become a ref..it'll be easy 😉 Loads of ex players are jumping at the chance -great wages, nice working environment where everybody loves you and treats you well...Start at grass roots, great for perfecting a stonewall demeanour when players and fans are calling you a c**t in your face (and that's when you get a decision right) -followed by great off field aggro, all the headbutts you want as you get into your car after the game..... https://www.skysports.com/football/news/11095/11282963/how-to-become-a-referee-from-grassroots-to-premier-league https://www.amateur-fa.com/referee/referee-development/referee-pathway

Again? One constant -Raos and Pasha. No change then, other than managed decline. Thanks for all your hard work glen, I don't know how you do it. Don't let the bastards grind you down.

Or 4 cheap loans...

It's a conspiracy- refs hate us, sky hate us, press hates us -every game...

They thought it was a penalty.

He did but missed, then it's a lottery.

On the goal, that was my first thought. Why was the ball allowed to bounce? Later in the first half, we had 3 crosses in succession, all well cleared by headers from Baggies.

Lots of publicity videos appearing. We got a new Film Studies grad in?

Think there are plenty of us who could write the next chapter but frankly, an ending and new book might be better...

To mark the start of our 150th season, we’ve created a special film, voiced by Alan Shearer that captures who we are and what we stand for. It’s a celebration of our town, our heritage, and our future....We’re proud to have you with us. Let’s write the next chapter together.

I may be wrong but I get the sense that people feel the combination of Hyam/Carter is sound. I seem to remember several home games when a simple ball over the top wasn't dealt with and goals ensued. But then my memory is very likely faulty and perhaps there were other factors involved.

Tribalism.

Sorted now via phone. Paid a while ago and old card has been loaded (they say). Forced to use a phone next year? Signal always works of course... 😉 Forced to use 1 of 2 oligopolies... Just love standing in a queue behind people who can't get a signal, lost the right page, won't scan....network down ....

I have last year's card and have paid but still need to activate this digital stuff as far as I can see and I use neither the offered technologies.
