Rob Atkinson (if Oxford don't win the playoffs) would definitely be who I'd be in for.

Sacked him (well Head of Performance) couple of weeks ago after complaints from Pearson & the players about their treatments.

Nearly ran out of time but just got there!

The whole "a club needs a 20 goal a season striker" thing is such a myth anyway.

Talksport had a segment on best "pound for pound" manager in the EFL yesterday, i.e. taking every facet of the role into account. Their winner?

I don't know that it's the case with us but I can tell you for a fact that a lot of football clubs pay next to nothing (even literally nothing bar expenses sometimes) as they expect people to be falling over themselves to work in football & have that experience on their CV. With the realisation...

Fairly sure he's a Man Utd fan isn't he? Not that that's a likely move for him so we'd be next best! 😄

Rumours this morning that he's rejected new deal with Luton. If true, I wonder if that's personal reasons to be closer to home after the death of his father recently. If that's the case, although he'd be a good fit for us, I think he's more likely to move further North - someone like Preston or...

Prospective new Derby owner Erik Alonso attempting to show off his wealth with a video purporting to be his house... Except... Full on Dale Evans / Jojar Dhinsa stuff this.

Yeah, that would be problematic for sure. Departed players that have found new clubs certainly wouldn't be allowed to participate.

About £20k. You're right, quality player, think he'll head back to Germany tbh.

Still think he'll score goals at Championship level but he's a pure penalty box striker, Walker is better (at this stage).

Spot on. All the physical attributes & decent enough technique just unable to consistently put it all together. Can certainly see why we took him & he won't be short of options. Not sure he'll ever be prolific but could still be a real asset to someone. Gave us some great memories & by all...

Yeah single game xG & particularly single shot xG are not a good measure, too many variables with game context etc. over too short a time. The whole point of an xG model is to reflect data trends so the bigger the dataset the better.

Just about to post that. Impressive considering how much Hamer's delivery waned but James stepped up & of course McCallum's long throws!

Just read a couple of your earlier posts & think we're actually broadly in agreement that he is very tactically astute. I'm guessing it's the term "genius" you take issue with? If so, agreed as stated earlier but it's just the usual hyperbole of the modern world, hell I've seen Biamou described...

"Saved" £30m of losses through their amortisation method, a method not used by any other team in English football. At best they've intentionally exploited a loophole but if that's the case I'm stunned no other club has tried it before.

The term "genius" I took as clearly hyperbolic, not sure you can refer to many managers as that, especially over a relatively short time or amount of clubs etc. Pep, Bielsa etc. maybe. Just checking that would be the same Barnsley manager who praised Robins' tactics & admitted we totally...

Truly tragic 😢

That long? If he's not smiling in all of the pre-season photoshoots he's got to go.
