Fed up with typing this. The cash is more use to us than Bayliss as a player. For heaven's sake his actual performances have been underwhelming, good prospect though he is. We need players of more use to us in our current position in the pecking order. Bayliss is a luxury.

You will not get the best out of Bayliss in League 1. I feared we had passed peak-Bayliss, so if we got a good enough offer I would take it. He, Westbrooke and Kelly are too similar. We need a midfield thug. There is also the chance that playing at our level will make affect his development, and...

Kelly Bayliss and Westbrooke are all similar

I think is right but it also means that the chances of kicking on from this year are less as there will be so much change in the team., particularly in defence. I would be sad about Allesani. You do wonder why we acquired him (and Meyler for that matter). We need three brutes of differing types...

Isn't that Davies?

Chicken Balti becomes player of the year,

no player ratings?

Bob Wesson - 1962-1964

Is that meant ironically. Fluorescent green surely

Agree about Oxford -

Field a strong side but test couple of ideas - Wakefield maybe or Williams again

He has one go at a career. He has to maximize his earnings, just like any professional in any activity. He would be mad to pass up playing for a financially stable club in a higher league. All that loyalty bollox is for deluded fans. I thought he was over-rated anyway. Good but not Maddison...

The answer to the question is "Yes" - end of.

I don't think we can afford Baylis, Kelly and Bright in the same team. It leaves us light on midfield heavyweights. The form of Shipley in the Bayliss slot showed this, and he is not much of a heavyweight. Best midfield in a 4-4-2 is the model of Peter Reid & Glen Hoddle Mexico World Cup 1986...

NO speed on the flanks?

Sterling has missed 10 games

We need a hardcase alongside Kelly to win back the ball and be a leader in the dressing room. We hade a few too many of the Fancy Dan type of player, nice though they are to watch

He's a leader, Willis is probably going, he's good for the division, so I would keep him. I like the way they have worked out a move whereby Davies comes out of defence but does not hoof it, instead plays it short to Thomas, who is lithe enough to turn and move the ball forward. See the Baka...

Oh, and Kelly has been voted man of the match by the player raters seven times. First equal with (would you believe it) Burge...........

I have now updated the cumulative figures I have been keeping for all "player ratings" entered after each game by people on this site, and Kelly has overtaken Hyam after the Pompey game as the highest rated player. The average is 6.2, Kelly averages 6.8, Hyam 6.78.
