Colin @fc1892.bsky.social · 13/10/2026Interesting you say Hopkinson and not Wilson, who supposedly runs the football side of things. Wilson's strategy and recruitment (manager and player) needs some scrutiny, 'not fit for purpose' springs to mind on current evidence. 100
Colin @fc1892.bsky.social · 13/10/2026I was looking forward to reading this morning's forensic post match analysis but I guess this sums it up succinctly. 020
Colin @fc1892.bsky.social · 13/10/2026Agree although we need to get bodies closer to him to give him more options when in possession, nobody is showing for the ball and when defences sit deep balls over top is our only tactic. 010
Colin @fc1892.bsky.social · 13/10/20262x in midfield works for other teams but they don't use one of those as a centre half when attacking and are typically more physical. I think I see what MJ is trying to do but we simply don't have the personnel,he needs to play to our strengths otherwise he faces being another Amorim. 100
Colin @fc1892.bsky.social · 12/10/2026The relative inexperience of our squad is a real concern, especially as the pressure intensifies. You can't coach experience but you can coach structure and patterns of play, we've got to hope MJ has that ability in him in or we could be in big trouble. 000
Colin @fc1892.bsky.social · 12/10/2026Lots of knee jerk comments after that tonight, some perspective is needed but if we continue to play like that away from home I doubt we get many more points. Long way to go but if we maintain our current points per game ratio we'll be safe and that's the target this season, forget European places. 021
Colin @fc1892.bsky.social · 12/10/2026There's definitely an argument for going back to 433 until we get a 10 who can play the role effectively. If MJ does an Amorim and sticks with a formation that doesnt suit the players we have we could be in trouble. 000

Colin @fc1892.bsky.social · 19/09/2026I have loved watching him play and really felt for him when he was clearly struggling for form after some bad injuries. Hopefully this is him getting back to is best as he still has a lot to offer us. 010
Colin @fc1892.bsky.social · 02/09/2026Put those filters into TUI and you'll be inundated with options. 101
Colin @fc1892.bsky.social · 02/09/2026Jet2 and easyJet have reasonable package holiday deals depending on where you want to go but nowhere near as much choice as TUI. I'd avoid On the Beach and the like. Never been into a travel agents for probably over 20 years but I like sorting flights and accommodation separately. 100
Colin @fc1892.bsky.social · 31/08/2026Ridiculous take. Any random off the Internet knows more than these managers who work with the players day in day out. 130
Colin @fc1892.bsky.social · 31/08/2026I'm sure I read that Besiktas initially offered something around the £5m mark. 000
Colin @fc1892.bsky.social · 31/08/2026I suspect it's a lower loan fee with them covering a bigger proportion of his salary, probably better for SCR. 010
Colin @fc1892.bsky.social · 31/08/2026Interesting to see where he plays and how that impacts Barnes and Toure. 210
Colin @fc1892.bsky.social · 27/08/2026One of his greatest assets, he attacks the goalmouth better than any of our other wingers 010
Colin @fc1892.bsky.social · 27/08/2026If there's two first choice midfielder slots up fpr grabs that's Nico and Miley, any other suggestion is just for vibes. Steur is a good back up but he's played one PL game! 110
Colin @fc1892.bsky.social · 24/08/2026I'm still burnt from Romano's Here we go on Joao Pedro. Need local journo's to report it. 030
Colin @fc1892.bsky.social · 24/08/2026Has anyone read what the injury to Osula was and if/how long he'll be out for? 000
Colin @fc1892.bsky.social · 23/08/2026Bigger picture is the total cost of the player over the length of their contract and the impact one bad signing could have on future purchases. I'll leave it to the club to do the right thing and judge at the end of the window. 110
Colin @fc1892.bsky.social · 23/08/2026Rodri replacement, we may need them to get Fernandez agreed before they'll let Nico leave? 000
Colin @fc1892.bsky.social · 23/08/2026We'll have to agree to disagree then. Signing the wrong players or overpaying in transfer fees and salaries would cause far more long term financial damage. We'd all want signings in the first week of the window but it just doesn't work like that, especially under the financial constraints we have. 110
Colin @fc1892.bsky.social · 23/08/2026Urgency of a sloth or wanting to get the right players at the right deal? If he wasn't doing his job properly I'm sure DH would be all over him. 100
Colin @fc1892.bsky.social · 22/08/2026I fully expect them understand the position the players and manager are in and provide unconditional support to them 👍 010
Colin @fc1892.bsky.social · 22/08/2026I reckon wall street would stand a chance against a military who's commander in chief is trump. 010
Colin @fc1892.bsky.social · 22/08/2026Thing is the angry Internet trolls will then turn their attention to the games and abusing players, manager, fellow supporters, owners.... 101
Colin @fc1892.bsky.social · 20/08/2026I don't read it as that and I was told by someone who knows the design teams that the club are going above and beyond to keep all stakeholders, especially NCC, fully engaged. 120
Colin @fc1892.bsky.social · 17/08/2026Defender who's weaknesses include defending doesn't sound very promising 🤔 100
Colin @fc1892.bsky.social · 16/08/2026Its the extended artifical run off area that makes the pitch look narrower. 110
Colin @fc1892.bsky.social · 16/08/2026Possibly any demolition works could start earlier but I'd imagine ecology constraints of the site could impact timing of construction. 010
Colin @fc1892.bsky.social · 16/08/2026What would you expect to be modular? Certainly not Gyms, Changing areas, Pools etc. pitches are the easy bit. It's a minimum 2 yr build, poss more depending on what incoming infrastructure is required. No planning yet and that could take a long time given it's location. Start in 2027 is optimistic. 000
Colin @fc1892.bsky.social · 16/08/2026Yeah just checked the Planning Portal. Can't see the new TG being completed before the start of 2029 season at best. 110
Colin @fc1892.bsky.social · 16/08/2026Didn't DH say that he didn't want to just match Spurs TG he wanted best in class? 020
Colin @fc1892.bsky.social · 16/08/2026Has a planning application been submitted? Sale of the land may be subject to planning being granted. 100
Colin @fc1892.bsky.social · 15/08/2026We desperately need someone like him, at present PL teams will just waltz through our midfield. 010
Colin @fc1892.bsky.social · 15/08/2026Agree, and I'd rather lose our first two games to LFC and THFC than a fellow relegation candidate. 000
