    You need a higher % than most managers achieve of successful purchases. Of ours at least three out of six are lookung dubious

    And if the investment turn out to be a dud, where is the escape? I think the 2 year strategy followed last year is the wisest

    I think a 4 year deal is nuts. 2 year max at this level, the turnover of players is too high. Not sure why they extended Kelly's for instance.

    Me too, but in which case what is the perfect midfield 4? Not for this game but some time quite soon we will have . Three holding: Doyle, Ogogo and Kelly Three "wingers" Thomas Jones and Allesani Two "play makers" Andreu and Bayliss one left sided work horse Shipley We are looking for them to...

    narrow win - suggesting who scores is always pointless. Chaplin to come on for the last 20 minutes in place of Andreu. A clean sheet would be as encouraging as anything else Burge, Grimmer, Willis, Hyam, Mason Thomas Doyle Bayliss, Shipley Andreu JCH

    These are well made points. The only things I would add is do we need Andreu for when we inevitably sell Bayliss. Also regarding Doyle, the logic is Bayliss to the right and Kelly or Ogogo in the middle. Thomas to the bench Usually I find when people are making suggestions for the team, many of...

    Armstrong was / is a bit of a one trick pony, and was found out by defenders. This is Div 1 we are talking about. Having an attack with no tall striker when you have midfielders who play hoofball - which they will, it is div 1. That was Biamou's main talent- dealing with long kicks and laying...

    There could be a requirement for a loanee to play a minimum number of games?

    Isn't it difficult to bind someone who is not a signatory to the original agreement?
