    Galbraith

    Was surprised to see the front 3 against Lorient as 2 No 10's Galbraith & Cullen with a right winger. Galbraiths a midfielder not a 10. Then Sheehan repeats it at Boro. It meant EOM was totally ineffective because he had to drop back to be the left side of the midfield 3. Totally unbalanced...

    Tan changed the shirt color to red then back. Painted blue seats red in the stands and they still are. His next move should be to rename the club "Llanrumney Academy FC" in preparation for their next move down towards the South West Counties League and using the LLanrumney Sports Complex for...

    Manning superb on both goals. Long season for Wrexham. Still playing same style. Out of possession: aggressive borderline fouling pressing In Possession: hoofball Would have said the same even if they had won.

    2 new CB's and 2 new MF's in front of them. If this was any other team I would be expecting a loss. Optimistic, but, just like I did with Sousa the team is getting a free pass for the 1st 8 games Boro 1-2 Swansea

    To my mind. Bradyingham and Hollywood are just 2 teams that came up from League One. I dont see the money making them that much different from previously promoted teams in terms of where they will be in the table this season. Both are basically starting with a League 1 squad. Look at all the...

    Didnt see game. Loving the report and your comments. Dafydd Pritchard BBC Sport Wales Cardiff City were lucky to escape with a point after being outplayed in Thursday's goalless draw at Port Vale in League One. Vale overpowered their opponents physically and came close to scoring in the first...

    I'm playing my Gameweek 1 Bench Boost chip on this game. Figure if we have 15 players on the pitch we might just win it.

    Too early in season. They are on 27 pts in mid table. They have 2 teams above them on 28 and three below them on 26 pts. So.... Currently 9th. So 1pt from a current play off spot. Top 7 in their conference go into a 14 team end of season play off with 7 from the other MLS NextPro Conference.

    Its a compliment to the Carolina club not a swipe at us. The conversation I had with him. The concern leading into the question was that Carolina may not have good facilities because they were a newly formed club

    Isnt it always the way. But whoever their now departed manager was he must have altered Whitakkers game plan/style after Boro signed him. Banging goals in for Plymouth and zero for Boro. New manager might get him firing again. I'm going for a 1-2 win or 2-2 draw.

    The Lorient game blew me away. Sheehans favored formation was 4-3-3 and we all expected Franco, Galbraith & Widell to be the 3 with 2 wingers and a No 9 up front. What I saw has me seriously concerned. More than the injuries. I saw 4 midfielders, 1 winger and 1 no 9. It looked so clearly...
