    catenaccio tactical approach Sheehan seemingly favors

    That's fair enough, although those examples are all against teams who are renowned for their possession heavy tactics. As far as we're concerned we are very much a mid rather than high or low block side. This makes a lot of sense, given how we have a number of very mobile and aggressive...

    catenaccio tactical approach Sheehan seemingly favors

    I'm not convinced that Liverpool have used a low block. Can you give examples? They've averaged 58 per cent possession, so they still dominate the ball. The biggest difference I see between Sheehan's approach and Williams' is that the latter looked to dominate possession the former looks to...

    catenaccio tactical approach Sheehan seemingly favors

    Catennacio has a reputation, perhaps unfairly, of being very negative and defensively oriented. If what we've seen so far from Sheehan is anything to go by I see us being a lot more front foot, looking to play as much as possible of the game in the opposition half. Yes, he's tightened things up...

    Lineker Gone

    Just reminded myself of the sort of stuff that Andrew Neil has said and done over the years. Lineker's transgressions are trivial in comparison. How on Earth the BBC could employ someone as a political commentator with such extreme right wing views is breathtaking hypocrisy of the first order...

    Lineker Gone

    Can we now expect to see the departures of right wing commentators such as Alan Sugar and Andrew Neil from the BBC? It really does seem that those on the left are being held to a different standard to those on the right. Probably because news outlets on the left don't resort to the sort of...

    Summer Transfer Window

    Sheehan will want an experienced DM or 8 for sure. Whether we can afford one is another matter.

    Summer Transfer Window

    AaB lost at home, which I think means they're relegated with a game to play. Doesn't look as if Widell had the best of games. A couple of sources have suggested there may be a big jump from the standard of the Danish top flight to the Championship. We may need to be patient with Widell.

    Summer Transfer Window

    Widell plays mainly as an 8, and he is playing that role in the on-going game for AaB, where he's left of a central 3 in a 3-5-2.

    Summer Transfer Window

    I was surprised that Wales was joining us as early as June 1st. This is why: https://www.skysports.com/transfer/news/12691/13336561/summer-transfer-window-2025-dates-when-does-it-open-and-close-deadline-day-and-club-world-cup-window-for-premier-league I can see plenty of activity from us in...

    Ben Mee leaving Brentford

    In general the direction of the club is to get in 22 year olds, or thereabouts, with the hope they increase in value with time. That's been made clear. But Sheehan has talked about the value of having experience and balance in the squad, and if there's two positions where that commodity is...

    Bobby Wales To Sign

    Bear in mind we went 4-1-4-1 in several games under Sheehan, so at times we may play with two 10s behind Vipotnik. My guess is that Eom, Cullen and Wales will be competing for those two places, with Franco anchoring the midfield.

    Bobby Wales To Sign

    According to Transfermarkt Wales has Irish citizenship, so presumably could play for ROI as well as Scotland. His main position is as a striker, although it's not clear if that's a 9 or a second striker. He's also played as an AM, RW and in left midfield.

    Summer Transfer Window

    Off Reddit: "Not sure why this has appeared on my timeline but just to say as a Bolton fan he's a top player who stayed on a season too long with us and deserves a chance in the Championship. Big, strong, quicker than you think and is really comfortable on the ball. Think you'll love him if he...
