It does seem strange. You’d think they’d get more watching (with lower away attendances) on a Monday night than on the Bank holidays with 3pm kick off Thanks for the info though both 👍

Does anyone know why (assuming I’m correct) the game isn’t on Sky Sport Plus (Red button) tomorrow night? I assumed it would be the same as all the other midweek games during the season, especially as all fixtures on Boxing Day & New Year’s Day appear to be on there.

100% Although I’d have gone for an East & Wales side (that had sone historic relevance) with a development side in North Wales (as Connaught were initially in Ireland). Would have kept all the old rivalries and the semi-pro standard as high as possible with players pushing for central...

That’s definitely a big part for sure. Keeping that level of hunger and desire isn’t easy, especially as other parts of life play a part. Good luck to the lad though. It’s taken a huge amount of time, skill and effort to get to where he is even if he retired tomorrow!

One of my early memories of watching cricket live was the season he and Alan Butcher seemed to put on 100 for every opening partnership. Played a huge part in the success that followed through the 90s. A sad day for Glamorgan and Welsh cricket. RIP.

Agree with pretty much all of that. Be interesting to see what the end of season reviews will look like in comparison.

Can’t see that he’ll dominate to the extent that Taylor did, as there’s so many top players now and no doubt more will come through. However, he’s a phenomenal talent with an incredible level of consistency and top mentality for someone so young. Not normally one for comparing sports but it’s...

There’ll be rotation over the 3 Christmas games no doubt. I’d imagine Inoussa and Widell will start tomorrow. Personally I’d start Yalcouye instead of Franco as well.

Just popped a video link in to my post

On the flip side, Roger scoring his penalty there (well at the Manor Ground) was one of the best things I’ve ever seen at an away game.

It’s definitely a thing that I’ve seen and heard at many different levels. I thought when they changed the name from ‘linesman’ to ‘assistant referee’ we might see a change to mirror other team sports at the top level where the assistants are willing to step in and make decisions that the...

I used to understand that argument but you could probably count on one hand the number of times any of those sides kick off at 3pm on a Saturday during the season. Semi-pro teams could take a bit of a hit, but even at that level (in England & Wales) leagues seem far more flexible on clubs...

If only I’d said this a month ago 🤣

Probably as close to a must not lose as you get at this stage in the season! 4 points fron the next 2 games is pretty key imo.

Fair play to anyone who’ll have picked the 8 divisional winners at the start of the season. Don’t follow the NFL as closely as a lot of you on here but loving all the upsets and parity of the league this year.

Totally indefensible 5/6 weeks of test cricket. No idea where England go from here though!

About time IMO. Will be interesting who gets the rights and if they end up offering a ‘club specific’ package or just bundle all games into an increased price subscription. Will probably have an impact on away attendances - I know I’d have weighed up some of the longer trips if it was...

Think I’d prefer him getting the full season on loan and then see where he’s at in the summer - could he be 3rd choice? Wouldn’t be against looking at Casey on a permanent then as well mind - depends what happens with West Ham I guess

Agree with Benson and Wales. Not sure there’s any benefit in letting Santos go. We’re 1 injury away from him being the only centre half cover. Would seem a big gamble to go with just Cabango, Burgess & Casey for the rest of the season - especially with Lissah out on loan.

That’s correct though. Even with the money they’ve spend on transfer fees and wages Parkinson is very unlikely to get them into the playoffs with the way he wants his team to play The Championship is so open this year that there’s still 2/3 of the league (at least) that could make the top 6...
