    Christ, really? The lack of intelligence baffles me.

    Running

    I’m running a brand new race this Sunday: Garrondon Gallop 10k. It’s the inaugural event, so I’m quite looking forward to it. I was going to aim for a PB, but with it being the first game of the season the day before, I don’t think that’s going to happen.....! I can’t find a race anywhere...

    St Andrew's parking, busses, trains, food & boozing

    The Lamp Tavern is a fantastic old school traditional pub (they don’t even accept card), with a real locals feel, without being a ‘locals only’ pub. It’s a bit out of the way though. The Anchor is probably the best as it’s on route and a fantastic pub, usually with a good range. Spotted Dog is...

    What about when we sign him?

    Tyler Walker deal done???

    I can’t wait to see what we find to moan about when we actually do sign him!

    St Andrew's parking, busses, trains, food & boozing

    The routine at the Ricoh was the Greyhound followed by a walk down the canal tow path. The pub will be difficult to replicate due to it’s rotating choice of guest ales and excellent food. Our plan to St Andrews is the train, followed by a walk to the ground via a pub or two for an ale and...

    Tyler Walker deal done???

    Bakayoko has a decent number of appearances for us and Walsall, but how many games did he actually start and/or finish? I’m not his biggest fan, but he has shown glimpses of ability. He’s another we didn’t use to his strengths last year. I’m not engaging in debate re Biamou as you’re objectively...

    Tyler Walker deal done???

    The negativity is bonkers. I really don’t see how we’re in a weaker position. We’ve sold one striker, who never showed much ability or potential with us (that isn’t to say he doesn’t have any), wasn’t a starter last year, and wouldn’t have been this year, and doesn’t suit MR’s system of choice...

    Bright Enobakhare

    He isn’t disciplined enough for L1 and potentially not consistent enough either, so I don’t think he’d get as much guaranteed playing time. MR would build the team around him here and give him his favoured free role. From Wolves perspective it would be more beneficial for his development to...

    Tyler Walker deal done???

    Agree with integration, but thats also determined by the character of the incoming player. Re the second bit - what are you basing that on?

    Running

    Where is the race Saturday? I went travelling for 6 months after uni with the intention of running to keep fit and to mitigate the inevitable excessive alcohol and food consumption. The first country we landed in was Thailand and after one afternoon merely walking around, I decided running...

    Running

    Weird coincidence! Until I did the Cov half this year, I’d never ran an official road race, but since then every race I’ve ran, I’ve seen runners with ‘Lonely Goat’ attire, so I Googled it last week and read all about it. It sounds an interesting idea. Worth joining?

    Running

    I went for a run on Tuesday afternoon in the absolute baking heat - not my best idea. I ran just over 6 miles and it took about 70ish minutes. I’d usually run that distance in around 50-53 minutes, so it shows the impact the elements have! I was planning to run this afternoon, but it’s so hot...

    More of a get him off the books loan as opposed to a development one then?

    Bright Enobakhare

    I’m not convinced Bright can play in a midfield three and he’d be wasted as one of the wider strikers in a front three. He is an anomaly really, he isn’t disciplined enough to play anything other than 10.

    Marosi Dabo Hyam McFadzean Mason Bayliss Kelly Allen Jobello Hiwula Kasteener Subs: Wilson Pask Shipley Westbrooke Ngandu Biamou Bakayoko The bench isn’t the most game changing, but I’m still expecting one or two more in before next weekend.

    Bright Enobakhare

    I’ve always been impressed whenever I’ve seen him play. He definitely likes to play football and can be a stand out at this level. Still hoping for Bright though!

    Couldn’t resist and bought my daughter a 0-6 months kit ready for when she arrives in a few weeks. Not sure my partner will appreciate the surprise, but it was way too cute!

    At the shop now, a queue of around 10/15 people as it stands. Fair play to the shop for opening earlier than the tweet advertised yesterday.

    I’d prefer the same system as last year with Bright too, but MR is basing his current tactics on our current squad, which makes sense. If Bright comes I wouldn’t be surprised to see us revert to last seasons tactics and formation.
