Duisburg was ok, inner harbour area lots of new bars/restaurants, but it does lack a soul, no real city centre bar area like Koln, Hamburg etc. It reminded me of the Bennett precinct in Longton mate We were going to have a beer there after for a few hours ( had 2 pre game ) but with how we were treated after the game we got on the tram to Düsseldorf and got the fuck out of there Home later, these trips are superb It isn't as bad as Longton 😁 5 mins walk away from the station is ok, a bit like the area around Hannover station. Just coming down to Dusseldorf, where's best the old town area?

Top performers in training so far according to Paul.... Clucas is an odd one. Wonder where he’s playing? Left side of the diamond in the absence of Etebo? Clucas and Etebo should be the two in the middle imo. It’s the best balanced pairing. Clucas could score 10 if we get it clicking. I don’t think Etebo or Allen could do that. And tbh I wouldn’t want them to overly, I’d want them sitting a bit more and being a bit more conservative.

I personally really don’t like clucas but he does seem to have this ability of popping up in the right place at the right time and scoring goals.

Last season in terms of contributions (assists and goals) per minute I’m guessing he was top. He’s a bloody good footballer but needs to be used right. Seems a prick though no doubt.

Yeah I think you’ve summed him up well, he’s one of those that’s a dick, but is effective in what he does. I would prefer it if he left though.

One who actually is suited to one position in the diamond and maybe two?

Did the lads who couldnt get on the plane as it had been overbooked get back in the end last night? Couple of armed police stood by the gate.
I think every single flybe plane was late for some reason yesterday.

Just listened to Jones’ interview after last nights match. He said we have two games left after Saturday and then corrected himself and said three games as we’ve got a midweek game after the Leicester match.
Haven’t seen anything about another match after the Leicester game so must be pretty low key.

Some odd views here. Seems to me we're seeing progress. But all this talk of 'being ready' is optimistic. You dont bring in 7 or more new faces and expect a team to gel in a matter of 2 or 3 weeks. It'll be a good while before we really start to see what we're about.
Just enjoy it FFS.

We are staying in Duisburg. It’s a big place and the inland Rhine Harbour said to be very nice. Usual bars and the like. We're staying in Duisberg as well, quite fancy a wander around this place if I can tear myself away from the bars for long enough - www.landschaftspark.de/?Never been a big fan of silent movies (hardly seen any to be fair) but there's a Buster Keaton classic on while we're there apparently, it'd be an interesting setting in which to watch a film I'd imagine. Back home last night after 5 days back over there, Koln, Kleve and Dusseldorf, Mrs is catching up on gardeners world from the BBC last week and this park had a big feature on it, looks very impressive, she wants to go back and see it, which is fine by me.

Watched it mate wondering why I never got to go I blame my lad for sleeping in lol. However I'm looking to go back to Cologne to take it in looks amazing. Only a short trip on the train again easy now I know how.
