My thoughts were to cover him on L2 wages and loan him out. If he excels then recall at Xmas if we can create a deal to do so.

Two minds on this. One mind - simple - free up wages and good luck. Other mind - he’s talented and 23. He will only be offered L2 money elsewhere I would suggest so offering him a low contract on a back-to-back loan deal might work. EG. 1 year deal with 1 year option in our favour. (He...

Kind of sets a precedent for having VAR for the Champ play off final and possibly semifinals. (ducks for cover).

Maybe the sides are given the choice in the play off final for example. If we were to miraculously scrape 6th and fluke the final, I’d be gutted to lose on a dodgy decision

When Champ SUFC let McNulty, 25, drop to L2 for zero and he gets sold for 1m plus the year after, I guess many of their fans were divided on opinion too. Your opinion is perfectly valid given injuries though. Tough call.

If it becomes mathematically impossible for us to reach playoffs, then it’s well worth putting him in the pitch for the remaining matches.

L1/L2. If we can cover his wages with a loan then it’ll be a relatively risk free gamble. We will kick ourselves if he does a JCH and we let him go, he has a good season and becomes a 1m player. We’ve invested for 3 years without return. It’d be worth having a contingency plan.

Extend contract. Season long loan somewhere

I believe VAR is coming. It’s how it’s going to be phased in is the conundrum

Refs should get, say, £10k match fee. After the match, for each f-ck up they should be deducted whatever %. That will sharpen them up.

Out of the most recent penalty / non penalty incidents the Derby one given was softer than the Hull Gyok wrestle down and the Tavares take out. VAR: I think VAR should be used in the championship play off final for sure. So much at stake. For the Semi’s ? Possibly. Last game of the...

Hendrie. Fckin autocorrect. Hendrix would have been great I suppose.

I thought Hendrix was balanced and quite complimentary tbf.

I thought Maatsen did well when he came on. He’s a lot more pacy than Bidwell and more creative going forward. IMO Maatsen is a better LWB than Bidwell in our set up. Maatsen would not be able to cover LCB as well as Bidwell did. I don’t rate Bidwell as a LWB. Too slow and hasn’t got into...

He could most certainly finish that man. He seemed to have a shoot-on-sight policy which definitely paid off. As a kid I remember Sillett getting Dixie McNeil in to be a “finishing coach”. Can’t remember if it worked that well or not. Nonetheless, it’s something that we could think about...

They’re not utterly clueless, they have a different opinion to you is all. He’s a great finisher. Usually, link up play is so so

I was against the review system in cricket. Now I think it adds something. My 10p VAR review system. Like cricket. Each skipper has 2 reviews. Handy for pennos and off the ball assaults.

Ok then Moore 8 Didn’t do anything wrong that I could see. Some good saves. Penalty conceded but well struck. Dabo 5 Would be a 6 but really lucky to be in the pitch so loses a mark for that daft high kick. Bidwell 7 Bidwell did well. Not bad on the left of the back 3 - stocky, so wasn’t...

Who’ll start them off?

I agree. He’s got a bit of stockiness about him and can cover that LCB role. Arguably slightly better than LWB
