    Thank you! I haven't been able to access that website for the best part of a year now. The pages never load for me. I miss it a lot. I wonder if it is because I'm located in Korea?

    Anyway, appreciate the info, chief!

    I was having issues in Dubai up until recently, maybe the LET has been running some controversial content!

    Given that neither the club or Umbro are mentioning anything about a third kit when people ask about it on Twitter makes me think we are getting something new as opposed to using the yellow kit again. Otherwise they may as well just say now instead of keeping quiet about it.

    Also, the new away kit will only be needed against four teams (five if we can get away with it against Sheffield Wednesday due to their black shorts), whereas we would need a third kit for 10 games (nine if we can wear the grey one against Sheffield Wednesday).

    Not sure where you get ten from, only teams we will potentially not be able to wear that is against the teams in all/mostly white of which there are 5 of them:

    Derby

    Fulham

    Leeds

    Preston

    Swansea

    Other teams have either a lot of blue or red so no issue with a grey kit in my mind, there could be an argument for one or two of those teams above that with our darker blue, blue shorts and socks our full kit would easily stand out against a full white kit or white top and black shorts.  The away kit with green shorts and socks would definitely stand out!

    I'm not certain a third kit will be used.

    New keeper

    Bennett Mulgrew Lenihan Williams

    Downing Evans Johnson Smallwood

    Dack

    Graham

    Not exactly brimming with youthful promise and enthusiasm is it?

    Conveniently missing Bell, Nyambe, Travis, Rothwell, Chapman and Bretherton who could all start. 

    Nothing like weighting an argument in your favour.

  4. People saying that Raya may look more commanding with a decent back four in front of him need to consider the reverse could be true too.

    I played as a keeper, was coached at Rovers and local non league teams from a young age, as well as the positional sense, shot stopping etc, the coaches used to encourage me to organise as I had the best view on the pitch, as a loud mouth that was not an issue for me and became one of my strong points, so much so that at certain points I was picked because of this when there wasn't too much between me and the other keepers, even if somebody else was a better shot stopper.

    I don't recall Raya giving out too many bollockings when those in front of him where as much use as a chocolate fireguard, any keeper worth his salt would tear them a new one, no matter who they are.

    If we can bring in an experienced keeper with a decent centre half I think it could have a enormous impact on the back four.

    Whilst Raya has shown cat like reactions at times he isn't commanding, in his frame or demeanor, and you need to have that in your keeper for a good defensive unit.
