Bassette was pants in the friendlies when he got a game. I feel you have to earn your place in the squad and it appears Bassette is not doing the business in training. Still young and a loan is probably the best outcome for both parties.

Finally on trend with the mullet.

Even taking the opposition into consideration, he had the best debut I can remember for a long time. Luton had to change their backs, then double up on him to try to stop him, which created space for Haji to cross. Only friendlies, but he created two of our goals with his wing play in the...

My first experience of CWR before and after the match. The presenters were perfectly fine and professional, but. Clive and Oggy were to my mind the best football duo on radio who had an amazing rapport that made you want to listen. Even the mistakes about teams and occasionally players were part...

Every player in our squad has a price on his head that we could not refuse. Really doesn't matter if it is a Prem team or a Championship side. We would prefer not to sell to a rival, but money talks. If any of the clubs mentioned meet the price for our players we will sell. A rule of football...

Some people just love to moan. Slagging off players is counter productive during a match. Opinions about players are fair enough and can be expressed through multiple social media channels. However, I cannot think of a player in recent times who has not been called shit and that includes Vic...

The conspiracy theory that we have to pay a million if Simms plays another match is about to be tested. If Bassette doesn't play, there really will be questions about his time left with us. Our injuries are piling up and Haji, EMC and Rudoni were all not 100% fit on Saturday, so will be...

Said it before, there were three occasions where Asante was ahead of the defender in the box with the ball coming down. Three times he failed to control properly. We did get it forward quickly then but our striker was not good enough. Hull parked the bus. You cannot hit them on the break under...

Frustrating. BTA goal side of defender (albeit in tight situations) when ball played but his control let him down at least three times. Our crosses were poor. Three of our players in the box with the defence back peddling and we pick out a defender or over hit it. JDS played well today, but the...

Are CWR going for the cheapest possible options. Fancast was good but Clive and Oggy all the way for me. Always listened on catch up

Completely agree about our shooting from range. Grimes had a great chance from the edge of the area in one of the friendlies and passed. Sheaf and Eccles were shooting more but Sheaf powderpuff, Eccles off target. Torp apparently has a good shot bur rarely uses it. Mowbray, the old school...

Rudoni would have been a USA international, but he was refused a visa.

Unfortunately, losing 6 to 7 million a year is unsustainable. We either get promoted or sell our best players. Sell your best players and you fall down the league, if you don't replace properly.

Absolutely no chance. Lets make 9 of the squad available. A squad that got in the playoffs. Lampard has said he is happy with his players and would like some additions. You take the minutes those players did out of the squad and replace them with who? Every player in any squad is available if...

I forget the author who pointed out that if a player starts 50% of games then he is a regular starter. Surprisingly many players in squads (it was based on the PL) don't achieve this. I get that twists the dynamic as PL teams have bigger squads. However, Eccles has started well over 50% in...

But for awkward bounces of the ball right in front of goal in the second game Rudoni would have scored. He did score in the first play off match. What went missing was our luck.

I worry KKH won't be fit. Possibly Lati and definitely Eccles won't be fit. Wright I feel will be on the bench. If MVE is off or unsettled, then we struggle at right back. Hull have won all their pre-season matches which does not necessarily mean they will be better in real matches. I feel Hull...

At least it's not the Showaddywaddy version, is it?

Most of the predictions I have seen, apart from AI, puts us in the playoffs. Quite a few mention that Lampard is never as good in his second season. Of course, those seasons were all in the PL. Injuries and last minute transfers can always change the dynamic, but I expect us to be in the...

I seems to me that the management team and the recruitment team have identified where our weaknesses lie and have tried to address them so far. We needed a top goalie on loan until Dovin is fit and back to his best. Up until yesterday, it looked like we had sorted that. LB/LWB has been a...
