He dominated the champ both times he was in it. He's by no means a top prem player but in my opinion its definitely his level.

Man, remember Jordan Ibe going for 15m. Master salesmanship

If you think its 50 50 id heavily recommend laying on the exchanges

I fully expected us to lose BEK and fail to replace him. And based on other players that have been through similar, Fatawu will do well to put 5/6 consecutive games together before picking up other injuries that seem to happen when a player comes back from a ligament injury. If they both play the majority of the season though that's going to be huge for us. Still waiting for the Rudkin masterclass of selling BEK on deadline day and failing to get in a replacement haha.

I've already had a dabble on us to score 3 or more first half. That being said, when I'm this confident, the opposite usually happens

Very true, but usually a team that parks the bus well is usually focusing on the matter at hand and will be well drilled. This is a team that will be wondering when they're not going to get paid, who will be available to play and I think they have a threadbare/non-existent coaching staff. I expect there will be mistakes and Rustiness from them. With the way that Marti likes his team to aggrssively press we will get chances either by our own making or them making mistakes. (Assuming we don't treat them lightly and are fully at it)

120 mins behind closed door friendly with Manfield, which they did win 2-0 to be fair Although I did just double check a few other sources and looks like they also played York and Man City behind closed doors as well. They're coming into this on a 3 game winning streak, I take it all back! I'll take a hard-fought 1-1

£8m for a centre back that had come off the back of a terrible time at Everton and ended up barely getting a kick due to not being better than our existing options? Rudkin is that you?

Given Marti's style. The fact that these guys have had 1 behind doors pre season match. Not only do they have a weak and imbalanced squad, morale will be through the floor and they're not match fit. If we go at them hard and press like we did v Fiorentina, it should be a long and brutal afternoon for Wednesday. I'd be disappointed if we don't create enough decent chances to score 7 or 8. Whether they go in or not as another matter, but we should be absolutely raining chances on their goal.

Assuming it is kbet.asia, the website still doesn't have user functionality and still has a placeholder picture on the main page Surely they don't press ahead with this.

Wrexham aren't in the conversation. You don't add Ward, Coady and Moore to a league one squad and become promotion contenders. If they stabalise and avoid the drop this year, considering the speed of their climb it'll be a success in itself. Birmingham on the other hand have a lot of financial power and can almost match us 3 teams that have come down. Not to say they'll be up there, but there's no reason they shouldn't if they get it right.

I think there's probably about 3 legitimate ones and the others are just naming lesser known player or players they don't actively think of

Close, he scored the first. Dion Dublin bagged the winner from a Gareth Williams ball... pretty sure it was a corner. You had me doubting my memory then so I had to check the match report. Konchesky with the assist for Charlton as well apparently

Oh Marti... you'll learn quick enough

I will say in his defence, keeping silent is probably preferable to communicating, I imagine it'll just highlight how inept his colleagues in other departments are

When fit, they're both pretty much the same player. That being said Vardy's 39 in January and Wilsons legs are made of Weetabix. Can't believe a Prem club would touch either of them

I went to Dronfield v Coalville last week and they had a QR code on the gate that you could scan to read the programme. Probably the way to go

It'll be the old "just read the bitter comments from the Leicester fans" haha

The lure of being on a documentary must have been too much. So much screen time!

Jesus, they've signed a terrible keeper and a terrible centre back. Pray for Wrexham. Are they in the market for an all action French midfielder as well?

Never really had the issue if finding it too easy because I don't copy other people's tactics. Even when I do seem to hit gold, at some point the team will inexplicably just bomb I never play with top levels teams though to be fair, being in the Prem is pretty easy as you're going to be better than the AI at squad building. Working your way up there from step 10 is good fun though, if you want to call being stuck in the Regional Prem for 3/4 seasons "fun"

Haha I was thinking this, 90 mins or so. Get down for midday, go for a coffee and a walk and get the ground for 2:30-3.

People comparing Wednesday and us are so far off. Chansiri has just been a genuine knobhead and is literally spite-f**king the club for his own amusement. He's stripped back expenditure as far as possible. The club is running on the least amount of money and staff that it can. Top is negligent and terrible at his job, but he's absolutely nowhere near Chansiri in terms of being a pure evil character. Wednesday aren't in the position they are in due to poor decisions, they are in the position because the chairman wants the club in that position.

Yeah I saw a podcast where their chief exec literally said we've not had to worry about selling players because we just sign them to do a job then let them go for free. Just checked transfermarkt and they've literally not received a fee for a player in over 5 years They're going to need a massive shift in transfer policy. Parkinson isn't going to be able to go whinging to the board saying "I need a top quality championship midfielder and striker" This will be the first time they're not able to out maneuver most of the league in the transfer market. Really curious to see how they get on. I think finishing 16th would be a good season for them. Unless they get some mad sponsorship deals in and are able to somehow spend 10s of millions. This season's documentary should be a good watch.

There needs to be more rules to stop owners like Chansiri and the Oystons but its a completely different thing to FFP rules
