THE APPOINTMENT The Championship; Season 3, and as the dark winter months drew nearer, the Tuesday nights became more and more tiresome. 2nd October 2018. Preston North End at home. Now, the squad wasn’t in a good place. Uncertainty in the goalkeeping position; Mark Bunn came out cold to start, the defence was disjointed; Alan […]
PLAYER FOCUS | TYRONE MINGS
The Discourse Around Tyrone Mings There’s no denying Tyrone Mings has been one of our best players since he signed from Bournemouth in 2018.

EURO 2020 | PLAYER RATINGS | England 0-0 Scotland
In what can only be described as a drab 0-0 draw our Euro hopes look as far away as ever. The manager decided to keep faith with the front 4 despite them flattering to deceive in the first game. He replaced the full-backs with James and Shaw coming in. This performance has given us far […]
