That’s the key thing. His mistakes are few and far between, but they are glaring when they happen. That, unfortunately, sticks in the mind.

Quite, but the play was fairly disjointed and I don’t think it gives a true reflection of him regardless.

Godden’s not a target man, didn’t do too badly with him up top last season! I think Walker was made to look worse than he is due to how deep the team were sitting - our wing backs would barely advance past the half way line and O’Hare got dragged back into the midfield battle, meaning Walker...

Everton seem to make a habit of this. Look at someone like Luke Garbutt, released by Everton aged 27 having barely played for them.

Got all excited when this thread was resurrected. Ah well.

Bit forward.

Can’t be arsed to check, but I’m sure someone said yesterday that they thought cases would drop for a period now. Unfortunately, with the lag for admissions/ICU/deaths there’s still a way to go.

And, funnily enough, the root cause is the same in both cases.

Saw on the news that there’s been a new Covid test created by a student at Birmingham University that will give a result within 5 minutes. Says he hopes it will mean sports events, concerts, etc could return in the not too distant future.

I get your drift but that’s not the club’s style. We’d look to use that money to get an asset that’s going to give us a return on investment. Sinking that much money into a 1-year deal for someone with a questionable injury record would be on par with 2002-2005 levels of stupid.

Absolutely agree. I think Sheaf is worth persisting with if I’m honest, can see coming on leaps and bounds in the next 12-18 months. Also likely to be a player we can hold onto for a sustained period. Like you, I’m not knocking this signing, just can’t quite fathom it. Not a clue. What are you...

Indeed, it is a bizarre one. Yes, Kelly is injured, but we aren’t quite down to the bare bones and I’d have expected us to bring someone in as cover on a short loan, rather than someone who it seems will start most games. The only thing I can read from this is that we have a chance of picking...

That can fuck off, do they realise how cold it is outside?

I’d expect he would be better as 4th choice than Max. I’d also expect he’d be more expensive wage-wise. Plus, would he want to come to be 3rd/4th choice? I doubt it. Overall, I’d rather stick with what we’ve got and look at other options that would pose a challenge to Godden (even if we had to...

Would you want him here beyond the end of the season? I wouldn’t. He has a few plus-points but I feel this would have worked better as a loan if possible, otherwise we’d be upgrading our 3rd best striker without good reason.

To be honest, the fact Crowley played in the Dutch league is what I’m holding onto in all this. Quite evidently a league we have targeted; hope it happens.

If we expect Sheaf to come on for him at that point, I fear that Sheaf will be similar to Shipley in that he has to grow into a game. Hey ho, we’ll see what happens.

Agree with the bulk but I’d play Dacosta at RWB. There is a danger that we could lose Dabo in the summer so worthwhile seeing if he’s up to it before then. Maybe start one of Hilssner and Bapaga as well, but that would be all.

Had a nose through the out of contract players yesterday and found Ben Davies from Preston. Left footed CB. 25 years old. Report suggested he was one of the best ball-playing CBs in the division. Then saw he’s linked with Sheff Utd.

Philip Lavender wasn’t bad.
