    Do you want to discuss boring politics?

    Pretty sure that would be the outcome regardless.

    The “too many cooks” theory

    Yes, I do. If we're going to have numerous coaches then it needs to be absolutely clear who is responsible for what. Otherwise you've potentially just got four coaches with four different ideas on stuff and a squad of players who have absolutely no idea who to listen to.

    USSR invades Ukraine.

    And I'll bump it in a year or two when it all kicks off again. Only reason Putin wouldn't ultimately look to other ex-Soviet states is if they joined NATO.

    If you wanted to be cynical then you could say it's a way of getting a new manager into the club and make any transition a bit more seamless... However, I'm being positive and, assuming it is Ramsay, he is known as a coach, not a manager and I could see someone like that being brought in to...

    Trump is my favourite comedian of the year already

    Trump is the same yet it doesn't seem to matter.

    Tipping

    I get the argument. I've often wondered if everyone that did any kind of unpaid or voluntary work stopped just for a day the country would be in utter chaos. I can understand why people don't do that though - a lot of vulnerable people would suffer and some would almost certainly die. The...

    Spent £10m on L1 players

    Less chance of her coming unstuck doing it that way.

    Spent £10m on L1 players

    I was wondering if it was instructions as we've had two or three players do the same in that right attacking position. Though if it is I'm amazed the coaching staff are persisting with it given how many problems it's caused us.

    Match Thread Preston vs. Coventry City - Match Thread - Sat 19th Oct

    Don't think you can justify playing Torp ahead of Rudoni. I'd like to see Torp play a bit further forward to see if it helps him, but maybe as a sub. maybe if Sheaf needs to come off then move Rudoni back next to Eccles.

    Match Thread Preston vs. Coventry City - Match Thread - Sat 19th Oct

    It's Preston away. We'd get dicked 5-0 even if Pep let us borrow his first XI. I'm actually moving more towards trying the back 3 again and playing two strikers. Especially if Sakamoto is out. Main fear with that is if Bidwell is out and Dasilva has to play it leaves him wide open to the usual...

    The “too many cooks” theory

    The number of coaches is fine. I reckon other teams probably have more. What bothers me is that there I can't work out what the structure is. They are all just 'first team coaches'. What do they actually do individually? Who is responsible for position and tactics in possession? Who is...

    Tipping

    People should be paid enough to get by by the employer. It's not like the tips are set in stone like PRP in other positions. You can do your job absolutely brilliantly and get absolutely nothing. Any tips etc. should just be a bonus on top of a living wage for them doing their job well.

    Questions that I genuinely can't answer

    Well for a start we could look to play the way it's intended. As few touches as possible looking to release to the midfield or forwards. Not taking a load of touches and passing it sideways to the other CB. That probably means spending more time in training with the defenders on moving the ball...

    Poll: Robins In or Out? Part 2

    Before the Blackburn game I was thinking of starting a thread saying I'd worked out what the problem was - Grendel hadn't posted a taxi thread yet! @Grendel - you know what you have to do...

    Robins has to go…

    They may not have liked it but it was by and large working for them. Whereas now.... Be careful what you wish for.

    Bassette

    Given how Simms seems to work on confidence I wonder if it might be worth giving him a game in the U21's and hopefully run riot.

    EMC

    If only we had a large number of coaches who could deal with this. Along with the set-pieces, throw-ins, goal kicks and shooting.

    I was going to say lying on his application form, but visual impairment probably got him a fast track. Or if it tickles your particular political fancy it's woke for diversity and inclusion.
