Wingers whipping in crosses to a striker? Dinosaurs. Good job Pep came along to show us philistines the light of the false 9.

Good point re U20s v U21s. The ‘21s will be full of big time Charlies sitting on fat PL contracts whilst being loaned out to Hull and the like. Easy to see how a player from a non parachute Championship club could have his head turned (not saying AW would). The U20s has a lot more development players in it.

As I was saying in the wrong thread, 22 games out of the 32 have been moved KO times. Load of them for ‘foreign TV broadcast’. Big worldwide demand for Coventry v Oxford, obviously.

Always a tenner for these games. Be the standard 5/6k for a third round tie. Oops wrong thread, lost my bearings reading those ineligible player posts.

Did well to get a Saturday 3pm out of it, 22 out the 32 ties are kicking off at all manner of other times from Thursday night onwards.

Don’t remember them announcing it last time, just a greyed out stand on the ticket planner.

Merge threads, Mods?

Where’s the issue? He’s now one of the side’s top players, not an academy grad breaking through, so deserves a contract to recognise that, an extra year of protection for the club to boot. Win, win, no?

Proper charlatan that GB…

They do need to keep an eye on it in January. Transfer windows always bring attention seekers out the woodwork who know fans are desperate for news and have them on a string on forums, Twitter etc. The summer was the worst I can remember on here for it.

Literally never, ever, heard a single Rovers fan call us that in all my time.

The East Stand used to be the away stand there anyway, we sat in there in a League Cup quarter final.

Yep, there will be 3/4k extra in that end that never normally get a sniff at any other local-ish away, so obviously a huge piss up opportunity, no surprise it got moved to dinner time really.

‘Traditional’ being the past 15/20 years. Chelsea and City were nowhere before oil money… and as for Tottenham, obviously winning trophies doesn’t come into it.

Nah. They’ll do their usual twelve wins in a row stuff in the spring…

I’d take that with a pinch of salt. Seems a fair bit of politics go on between Swag and GB… and considering his track record of BS; the bus and the lies about bulldozing Brockhall are two that immediately spring to mind, make it two pinches.

On strikers his record’s been poor, no question about that. That aside his signings and contract renewals have been anything but bullshit from where I’m looking.

Surely all those *thousands* that can never get a sniff of an away ticket to watch The New Pep’s revolution would’ve jumped at the chance?

Take it you are now back with us for every twist and turn of the relegation journey?

‘Constantly said’? You never say it unless explicitly asked. Of course we’d do better with better people running the show, we are actually seeing that with fans doing a better job re Watford game. The point is these owners don’t want better and never have.

Who gives Swag a free pass? Nobody on here, think it’s pretty clear the consensus is he’s been an abysmal ‘leader’. ( BTW, these owners could remove him tomorrow.) You, however, have been the only one giving these owners one for 12 years as this club has withered on the vine throughout and become a shell from what they inherited. Even now you still exclude them when posting your standard wide ranging list of individuals to blame from the tea lady up.

Why’s Swag still in post, Rev?

So you can’t name every player in Wolves’ squad?

‘Demand is so high, it’s impossible to get an away ticket these days’
