Is Whyte not with his national squad?

Pretty sure he is, yes

 

[Wallop]

Does anyone know what time The Blackbird is opening?

 

[Foley]

Mitchell
Norman Nelson Mous Ruffels
Baptiste Brannagan
Whyte Henry Holmes
Mackie

Will be harsh on whomever we drop out of Browne/Holmes/Whyte, think Whyte should start RW because of his connection with Norman, then I don't mind who on the other wing. I'd give Mackie another go up top.

2-0, Henry + Mackie. COYY

Whyte is with N Ireland and can't play.
Did you go to Sunderland? Holmes and Browne have to start if fit.

 

[Oldham]

Agree with most of this other than last paragraph due to the fact man city are in international break so no sending off unfortunately.

Broken legs? Ankles? Anything ?

 

[Oufcrealist]

I remember thinking that after his first interview when we signed him. We clearly didn’t get the best of him last season, for whatever reason - but we seem to be now.

He would have been really miffed at losing his place to young Dickie. Bit of a kick up the backside and being a clever and determined pro he knew he had to show what he is about. It seems to me he has taken over the captains role apart from the arm band!!

Hopefully both he and Nelson are happy with that!

It's just an observation really. But he does talk to the ref regularly during matches and talks to the players around him. It might be done to take pressure off Nelson who was looking lost 4/5 games ago.

I’m sure there are a small percentage happy to see a match thread, with no score updates from other matches.

Adjusted ta, I'd probably try and get Whyte into the starting XI usually because we'll get more out of him in the future compared to both the loanees who will probably be elsewhere next season

Blackpool 0 - Bradford 0

I think we play the best players available.
If Whyte plays like he has been I wouldn't bet against him being sold at the end of the season if a big enough offer came in.

Oi! It’s my match thread. I’ve already said what the score will be and who will score. That’s how I run match threads. Get your own!

Don't worry. I felt like having a day off. But tomorrow I'll be back. Probably will treet everybody to updates from the Dutch Pemier

 

[stokeu]

there is no Eeredivise, Netherlands away to France

Kind of my point, the more he plays = the more he develops = the more we sell him for

Comprehensive preview of Sunday’s Sky game.

Great use of the verb ‘bifurcate’.

Relegation 6-pointer? I feel confident of a U's win after our recent upturn in performances. Like many on here I expect, the memories of losing to Cov in the 16/17 Johnson's Paint Pot Trophy final still hurt. 3-1 Oxford. UTM!
