a Primark version of Pulis who has got another job now at sheffield wednesday. why cannot clubs see past these people including warnock and give some younger english guys a chance to fail like they do over and over with the usual suspects.

Breaking bad news, apparently after the meeting today between Oliver Dowden and football authorities fans could be allowed back after 2nd December in tier 1 and possibly 2 areas, another Elephant has entered the room his own government his talking about tougher tier systems, couldn't make it up all right it puts football level with things like cinema,s and theatre,s but just imagine if it happened straight away you would have manager,s and owners saying it's an unfair advantage if your allowed fans and we aren't, ain't in my opinion going to happen, it will be tier 3 or worse for everyone must think wer thick.

exactly. just another attempt to pit a smile on the faces of people who believe or want to believe everything. even if it did happen then if the virus numbers in thae area went up football would get the blame, get shut down and we would have to wait even longer for a possible return.

It seems strange to change the rules mid-season but from Friday, 20 Nov, League 1 and 2 teams will be allowed five substitutes from a seven-strong bench:

We have used X1 only - combined - in the last X2 games.... not in Coley's make up to use them

To me though regardless of whether you use them or not it used to be 5 on the bench increased to 7 for what still only 3 options to use 5 in current scenario,s of packed schedule,s makes sense if you choose to use them is up to the management team of individual clubs.

just hope its only a temporary measure and something that does not become normal. smacks of pre season friendly games. what next rolling subs like kids football.

Bristol Rovers have appointed Paul Tisdale the ninth manager ( caretaker ) in 2 years wonder if he will last nothing beats time in football as success usually comes with a spell of long-term management teams depends on whether you are a trigger happy chairman I suppose.

Team (A) winning 1 nil 15 mins to go no subs have been used as yet, I wonder if the leading teams manager will use any sub ? This will wind the (B) team fans up no end.
