Most other teams?? There were only 5 teams in the championship today that play with 2 up top, we played against 1 and they did Jack, the others were Sheff Wed, Charlton both lost & WBA who ok won but me thinks you see the freak QPR result & think that is why we should play 2 up front (QPR being the other)…not playing 2 up top is not why we see ourselves where we are.

Now there’s a guy made of a very soft cheese if ever there was 1

He's back in full training & will feature after the International break, it is now on Rowett to manage games between Ramsey & Makasa (start/bench) but we all know that BCDR will still be getting minutes

Like all good things it takes time to build, you have to remember that they were only formed in 2021 (merger with Lichfield ladies) & only went pro in 23/24 season with their introduction into the newly formed PWR. Like women’s football the pool of talent isn’t as wide as the men’s game so it’s always going to take longer to get that squad to resemble something that can compete as anyone who’s anyone will currently want to play for those teams with all the cream, just like in women’s football. Behind the scenes the club are continuing to structure the women’s set up & only this season established a U23 development squad where they can start to build their own talent and hopefully with the success of the men’s team and Tigers name draw some of the top young talent in.

Prop repacements for next season, Argentine Joel Sclavi arriving from La Rochelle should be a great addition & more surprisingly Mako Vunipola (i know i'd thought he'd retired long since also), not sure about this as he'll be 36 midway through next season & arriving from a French D2 side. Can only assume its for the last 20-25min finishing a game out with his experience. Looking forward to seeing Wainwright in Tigers colours after his MoTM performance v Italy. Also signed ex-Bath Forward Elliot Stooke

Nearly HT at Oxford v Charlton and there has only been 1 shot between the pair of them and that was off target. The passing stats seem awfully low also has the ball been in the stands most of this half & is the crowd asleep yet?

Rowett this week has said he will ignore the boo’s and will continue to play Ayew as he thinks he’s a fantastic footballer and still has a lot to offer us….what aren’t we seeing 🤷‍♂️

Having never even looked inside a Tesla I sat in the Model Y & Cybertruck (hideous thing) on Monday and the 1st thing that struck me was how boring, ugly & cheap looking the interior is, a very small steering wheel & a very large middle screen that’s it, the outside not much prettier. I then sat in an iX3 50 & oooooh my god it is on another planet let alone level & all for just £10k more @ a very generous entry level.

1 thing I’m thankful of is that he’s obviously sat them all down and said this is football and we tackle with our feet not our Fec’ing hands so stop grabbing, pulling and pushing your not 9.

Didn’t King say he was brought in as RW cover? As Fatawu currently coping Richards isn’t going to get a look in and surprise surprise there is no Page, Aluko, S Thomas, Marcal & Monga is just warming the bench, hell even Mukasa is having to make do with the odd 10-15mins after the start he made. Rowett just won’t be calling on youth in these remaining games unless injury dictates

People don’t like/rate him but he’s without doubt the best and most intelligent player in the squad. There were a lot of good performances tonight and I’m not going to say he outshone some of those but I will say he single handily swung momentum back in our favour as BC were starting to control the game from the 50ish minute up until the 69th after Winks came by on.

Rowett can do 1 if he don’t get Ayew & Bobby off now, they are getting on top of us and those 2 are passengers.

Footballs a funny industry because it looks like the man sacked from a team in a relegation spot in the championship (Mason) will take temporary charge of 1 of the so called big 6 teams when Tudor gets the boot tonight.

He’s more of a hindrance getting in the way of OUR defenders 🤦‍♂️

The game is bypassing Ayew just we all knew it would

Yeah could be, as well as age creeping up on us all he was very much an ALL in player like Tommy Ref, Underhill, Curry and dare I saw the goat Moody it must take its toll at some point. I doubt we’ll see much of him but a decent cover option & nice for him personally to go full circle in his career.

Tigers signed Hamish Watson on a short term cover contract. He’s 34 now but he was some player just a few years ago & certainly 1 of the few that would turn up for SCO games, often getting their player of the match. Ex-Tiger actually played in the academy up till he was 18 as he went to school in Rutland until moving north of the border. Very Tommy Reffell esq

Like it or not the lift might have to come from us fans on those home games. They are so weak atm that no one wants to take responsibility in front of us for fear of balls’ing it up and have everyone on his back. Think we have to show them that we are doing our part & maybe not jump on the 1st mistake or misplaced pass but somehow get across that it’s ok go and get it back, brush it off what ever it was & you would like to think it would settle them into playing as we do have moments. I get the I’ll cheer when something to cheer about but don’t we knock managers for doing the same thing over and over is that not the same as turning up and moaning from 1-95mins every game. At least we will know we did our bit in these final games 🤷‍♂️ Caveat to that is we need to go full Rowett you don’t know what your doing if Ayew so much as twitches to make a move from the bench.

Certainly stick or twist time but who do you go for with a WC next year? If they twist new man will have 6 games in July/Nov v some very tough opponents from the off & then next years 6N followed by any best up games prior to WC or They write this off & look at the ‘why’s’ given the run prior to this 6N I think they will stick personally

These are jokers it’s not direct head contact ffs

Fin Smith taken out late in the build up to that last try, their 9 hurt himself in the challenge Italy player hands all over the ball in the ruck whilst knees down ref tells him to get off nothing else Tackle on Roebuck as he went over wasn’t a fair challenge & Roebuck was on the floor already All penalties but not a word said by the ref, I don’t wanna be that guy but… 🤔

Sport & this forum always have a way of coming back and biting you on the ass 😜

Got it recorded will start to watch on your recommendation then 👍. I do enjoy these type of series, with as you say, quirky characters and subtle humour not trying to force a laugh every 30 seconds much like the Detectorists, the Cockfields & Such Brave Girls to name a few.

The 3 options are pretty limited really. Purple and blue are much the same thing, protecting locals and British interests, and red doesn’t leave much in way of wiggle room. If red doesn’t mention ‘wide range’ which is open to interpretation, but said military / command targets only would there be more red as some thinking will be of schools and built up areas given what’s happened there already & therefore holding back on choosing red 🤷‍♂️ Thats different to blue before someone mentions that. In other news I can’t keep up on which papers I can read they seem to be switched from left to right & vice versa depending on the wind.

So it’s a good thing right 🤷‍♂️ 1. he’s not on the 90k that everyone hates him for but more like 40k which is inline with other clubs players (as are all our other players it would seem) 2. potential of earning a fee this summer so again can come off the incompetent list of we let ‘x’ player run down his contract 3. he can be a useful asset
