Is it any different to the league cup impacting ours? I’d be worried that they invested like 25m from the sales of their two best players and have gone backwards without any injury issues. I’m comfortable that our league position has largely been less than last year through injuries and late...

the rail infrastructure is owned by network rail isn’t it, which is government owned. So we wouldn’t need to buy that back just ensure that the rules around how that organisation operates are stronger. The big problem is the largely foreign owned companies that own the franchises that operate...

Let’s see what their policy is on water, I’m not sure how the water privatisation is structured and if it would be more complex to renationalise

So would I and I’ve 99.99% certain we will not sell McGree, Forss, Rav, Hackney and Lath this summer.

Sniffs bait, swims away

The FFP situation clearly is good, we have to wait and see if any players want out, or if stupid offers come in.

Partyl recruitment ie not getting a third striker, going into the first x games without a single LB on the books. Largely down to injuries though, in a 46 game season, our planned first XI players will have got following league starts: .......................Dieng(35)...

In possession: Against high press teams, we need CM to drop deep and receive the ball under pressure, and retain possession and when able to turn and drive with the ball from a central position, opening the pitch up. Against low block sides, we need CM to move the ball wide quickly and look to...

The overall score, I take with a massive pinch of salt, because a) players with a large number of sub appearances tend to yield a low score b) players that play well in a losing team get penalised by the team performance.

agreed. We've been talking about whoscored ratings.....Ayling is our highest performer.

Yes, I think Willis has had injuries that have held his proogress back. surprised that Bridge hasn't had a chance. I agree on 20m, I think the 3min thing was just to give them a taste and let them get nerves out of the way ready for a longer stint

Different ways to look at it. They've already committed to an 8m plus 8m (4x40k) wage contract. Total contract value of 16m. They've commit to that, and written 8m off so far. Do they want to continue to commit to that 8m remaining commitment for little or no return? Or sell for 2m, pay half...

100% although I think there is another gear in him. Looking at his whoscored for Huddersfield he was a better attacking player in his last year at Huddersfield. (highlighted) 1.1 shots per game (0.6 this season), 1 key pass per game (0.7 this season), 2.1 dribbles (0.5 this season), I think he's...

Hackneys appearances have been very stop start to be fair and whoscored does weight scoring based on how the team performed too, Hackney was playing when the team were going through a tough spell because we didn't have a LB or CF which harms his rating. If we are comparing the two, I'd look at...

Slightly off topic but I was thinking last night about who could get a chance in these final games. I'd definitely give Gilbert a start or two on the left or 10. Bangura has to get starts. Law McCabe, Ajay Matthews, Sonny Finch might get 10-15 min cameos. I think that's about it. I don't see any...
