I think you'd also have to look at how many teams didn't have loans full stop. I think someone said something like we're the only Championship team without a loan this year. When was the last year before that we didn't have any loans? It may well be that it's almost impossible for a team...

They heard it on the grapevine?

I'm a lefty too and I think it's too far. Slavery was a massive stain on the world but for people who themselves have never been slaves to claim compensation for people many never even knew seems a bit much. Let's say someone wants to claim compensation for their great grandfather being a slave...

Of course he effectively gets to dictate transfers. He controls the money. If there is a player he doesn't want to sign he doesn't sign the papers and it's dead.

That might be ok, with it switching to a bit more of a 5-4-1 out of possession.

Just remembered where you left the car have you?

Yeah, I think with pairings I'd go BTA/Bassette. Both will press so everyone is on the same page. Which also puts Simms and Wright together. You'd think the amount they cost it'd be a terrifying attack for opposition to face, but I'm not so sure.

Can we claim another covid outbreak and the need for social distancing in the stands?

Robins don't migrate. Hence why they're the birds you hear singing in the winter. They're defending territory.

We do have to remember that just because a player is young does not automatically mean they will get better. Many get worse.

Yeah, it's not a fix-all. But would help somewhat with health if doctors surgeries were built (assuming we have enough to staff them). Same with schools - would help but still need the teachers and they're leaving in droves.

You di imagine that a lot of his coming up through the youth ranks was because he was more physically developed early on and he didn't even really need to use it to get the better of other players.

We did basically just set up defensively to stop him having to do too much and hope our two superstars were good enough to win a game by themselves. But I will accept that you could possibly suggest Wilson became a slightly better player.

Never understood why Torp has been played in the deeper role with Rudoni more advanced. It seems pretty obvious to me if they're on the pitch together it should be the other way around.

Because at least you notice them, for good or bad. Rudoni you can forget is even on the pitch.

To be fair I'd rather see him taking that on than half-heartedly jogging across the front line pretending to press defenders.

You have to assume that we put a hold on Browne because it would have been either him or Stamenic, and hence Browne didn't feel valued and decided to go elsewhere. In reality we could have done with both and with the money we've spent subsequently I think we could have afforded both. I'd have...

People like Doug King tend to be confident and believe they are right even with things they have little knowledge on (so he'd fit right in on here!). He's made a fair bit of money and that makes people think they're incredibly smart and know how to run everything. I'm sure many of us have been...

As others have said, I don't think sacking MR would actually make much of a difference. Of course he deserves criticism - every year he doesn't seem to be able to find the right formation from the off, he rarely changes it during a game if it isn't going well, he doesn't make proactive subs to...

You do have to wonder about him as none of the keepers under his tutelage have been good, and many ended up worse, albeit sometimes for other reasons. But I think there are questions about the other coaches too. For example the ones promoted from the development side. I understand they might...
