    Wasps signs have actually gone!!

    Thinking about it this does seem plausible. Doug has (quite possibly) turned down the opportunity of selling Gyok last window fully knowing in the summer his contract is less and value will be less, plus found whatever money to get rid of SISU whilst occupying a stadium without a proper long...

    Wasps signs have actually gone!!

    I’ve been wary that the Wasps will be back up at CBS until about now. MA squeezes every penny out of everything, doesn’t he? The Pierre Cardin brand, Muddy Fox brand, Frasers (all respected brands now cheapened by sticking their logo on cheap tat). I did worry that being able to squeeze an...

    Championship 22-23

    Hudds started with Waghorn at CF last night. He’s not a Warnock type striker, let’s hope there’s no send-back option else we might have to be paying out some. Warnock always used to like big fuggers up front. I’ll laugh my sausage off if he sticks big Hudlin in. (To those new to the forum...

    Dear Frustrated from Coventry, So sorry that your record with keeping men isn’t going well. Try to ensure that you have them in the correct positions, else they’ll often disappoint. Do try to avoid small men, they often just aren’t up the job unless they are from Brazil. Deidre

    Yes Casey. He’s very good.

    Allen isn’t quick. His legs move quick because he’s little. He’s often caught up with in the charge and is beaten in a ball chase. He does keep running though - I’ll credit that.

    Or maybe it’s a touch of the virus that’s been going round (so many people I know have had this lingering cold that’s like a poor covid). Bidwell has also looked under the weather. Pure speculation but we need Hamer Saturday.

    Robins is perhaps defending his team selection. He’s got King Doug paying close attention and might want a pay rise. Joking aside, we don’t know what’s going on behind the scenes now Hyam has left (satire) but am still confused why Maguire hasn’t had more than 10 mins. Allen has qualities...

    I don’t usually hold much candle to stats (that’s philoseraptor) but that really is glaring.

    I don’t care if I get pelters for saying this: We played well and ONLY won 1-0. We were under pressure at the back for the final 20 and was a mistake / Ref error / fluke away from dropping 2 points. Allen has been out of his depth for a while, maybe it’s the set up and where we ask him to...

    I can see your point. Maybe Kelly for Eccles might have been a better move.

    Agree about Palmer but just in terms of time-management why not Maguire for Palmer (to keep him that tiny bit fresher for Saturday), or MaGuire for Allen (because what did he offer, really?), Rose as an extra defender on for Eccles and re-shuffle (touch line timewasting), even Walker for Allen...

    Wilson 8 Clean sheet and a couple of decent saves and game management gets him an 8. What he also does well is move around the box to be on hand to receive the back passes from our defenders when they get under pressure. He follows the play in that regard, defender being pressed? Along comes...

    Norton Cuffy needs to come off. He’s played well but I’ve a feeling he’ll get a red.

    New contract about to be announced

    Playing non-league up until mid/late 20’s might have extended his career. Not sure if Alfreton were full time (think not) so might not have trained as hard at 20-23/24 as he might otherwise have done so. Sometimes happens like that. May have had less wear & tear on joints and such. Also...

    And so is a fully fit Jodi Jones.

    Ex Player Watch

    I suggested at the end of last season that we keep Jones on contract with a view to a back to back loan at about the level he’s at (ie find a club to cover / part cover his wages with a recall option). We paid him throughout his injury time and let him go when nearly mended. Strange financial...
