    Squad trimming

    I was correcting a post that said he'd hardly played above conference level, I didn't imply anything about how good he was. Jones was 18/19 in his first full season in League One at a time we had one of our worst ever teams with numerous managers. He started League Two on fire and clubs much...

    Video Interview with Dave Boddy

    I agree there are a number of factors involved but spend isn't just about transfer fees. Sunderland didn't sign anyone for fee last season but they had a £10m wage bill. Whilst that was a partly a legacy of where they had come from, they still effectively spent more than us and a team with a...

    Championship

    They've had a lot of luck. They would have struggled to make the playoffs if the season had finished, Fleetwood gifted them the semifinal and Oxford gifted them the final. They had the lowest possession and passing stats in the league and scored the majority of their goals from set pieces. I...
