Yes we need to see a lot more of Pettit - even if its just to keep Ray Winstone happy!

He did sign a professional contract but it seems it was only till the end of 21/22 season (which is crazy really with a player that young and potential).
I think he just got a bit mixed up telling the facts at the forum - he sould have said he was out of contract rather than he never signed one. Still seems bad not inserting a sell on from Watfords part as they got a bargain anyway and now they are going to get millions when he goes and we get nothing for his development. https://www.bbc.co.uk/sport/football/57148765

There was a question about a sell on clause at the fans forum and we were told there was no sell on clause because he never signed a pro contract with the club. However it was announced in February 2020 that he'd signed his first Pro Contract with the club?
Someone is telling porkies.

Yep, he scored the 90th min equaliser and assisted the winner. He also scored for Walsall in the Play offs to help them to Wembley and played in the final. Quite amazed they've let him out on loan but then you'd also say that of Cian Hayes and Jay Bird - say what you like about Jim but his powers of persuasion are excellent.

There's no way Jim should be mentioning the C word this season.

I thought he was superb when faced with any 1 v 1 chances for the opposition - I can't actually remember any forward actually scoring one against him. Yes as you say we've had better but we've also definitely had worse and I think had he been around for the Semi Final and the Play off game we'd have been going to Wembley and Forest Green.

T'2025 Test summer

Too busy looking at the stats.

'England have made a habit of fielding first since Stokes became captain in 2022.

In nine previous home Tests in which England have won the toss in that period, they have batted first only once. From those nine matches, they have won six and probably would have had a seventh had it not been for rain in Manchester during the fourth Ashes Test of 2023.

Recent history also favours fielding first at Headingley. The previous six Tests on this ground were won by the team that fielded first.'

Just looking at this test though and we have a very inexperienced bowling attack and our strength is our batting - just look at the conditions on the day and not past performances (where we had Anderson and Broad). It was the obvious decision to bat today.

Yes I remember thinking at the time, never mind we've been relegated back to league 2 after 7 seasons - at least BBM plays nice football and local lads get a game 👍

RIP.
Watched that film last year. A brilliant portrayal of a musical genius. Paul Dano and John Cusack both amazing playing young and old Brian - recommend it very highly to watch.
Sloop John B will always be remembered by Dale fans during our first promotion under Keith Hill.

I suppose a bit similar to Killian Barrett for us recently. He may go onto a good career but 8 games for Solihull last season and 18 games for us this season isn't what you want when you are in cup semi finals and play off games. He didn't make what you would call 'glaring errors' for any of the 5 goals he conceded in those 2 games but he could have done better. Hopefully we can address this problem as we've not had a settled, decent keeper for a while now. Yes you may get lucky once in a while with loan keepers but its not the way forward if you want a settled defense.

Just seen highlights. He's at fault for all 3. First goal he passes the ball to the Iceland player - his fault. The 2nd goal he is rooted to his line from the corner and fumbles the ball in and the 3rd goal the header goes right through his hands. Woeful.

A nice windfall for the Irish amateur club.

Where have you got 40% from?
If anything it will be nearer 10% - if we were extremely fortunate possibly 20%

Palace had him as a kid too before they released him! Hopefully we've got a sell on percentage built into the transfer.

Whats wrong with him singing? He's a fan isnt he who's just seen his club win a Wembley final to get promoted back into the EFL. We can only dream of a day like that.
