My Mrs is a Mad Luton fan so I end up watching them more than I’d like. That’s why I’ve put my ten pence worth in.

Adebayo toasted us last time. I’d have JCS given the brief of marking him tight. Cornick is super quick and I can’t help think that Fadz needs to sit this one out. Maatsen needs to drop back - we need his pace in defence. If available: Moore Kane / Maatsen WB Hyam / Rose / JCS CB In the...

Great news. He’s a good player who has that bit of an X factor about him; just needs to sort out the petulant imp on his shoulder.

That’s the job of specific development coaches but I get your point.

Problem with undisclosed fees is that we don’t know. Boddy in his podcast specifically mentions that we made “substantial profit” on Chaplin and placed emphasis on that. Make of that what you will.

Dave Boddy says that we are looking to follow the Brentford model. You know better than Dave Boddy. Ok. Right ho. My personal thought, clearly, repeatedly and in line to a degree with what you say, is that the signing of Waghorn didn’t fit the “model”. Hence my initial and continuous...

Dave Boddy podcast, 57 mins onwards. Specifically talks about following the Brentford model. “Smart Arse Philosopher”. Yep that be me. Get back in your pear tree and wipe your face down. Egg on it.

Don’t disagree. I suppose in a way the McA fee covered Walker - which is in line with above. I hope that if we sell Gus / Gyok / Cal we follow what Brentford did and sign the best young players from L1/2 and not a load of older players.

See above. Spent several years non-league and I think will play longer into his 30’s. He’s been a good-ish player when fit but at 30 what’s his market value? I still think that unless we get some mad billionaire to invest we need to play the transfer market. Each time we chuck £750k (say £7/k...

Kelly is / was a general. Moore a GK (see above) Max - late to pro game. Profits on Sam Mc Mark Mc Both within model. I’ll stick to my guns.

As said before, exceptions to model: Midfield generals. Players who spent several years part time early 20’s. For some reason they play on longer. Fadz worked out well but now his age and lack of pace is showing.

Junior Brown was 29 when we signed him. I’ll stick to my guns on that.

If he was 28, then maybe, just maybe, on a free? Maybe. Derby paid £5m for him at 28 and then got FA for him at 31. There. Just there. There is a perfect point to my theory. I don’t suggest anyone follows the Derby model. He is 32 now. Not club will sign him and I’ll wager that we are stuck...

I could see the logic in signing Walker. No complaints there. I can see the thought behind signing Reese Allasani, Bouwe Bosma, Dexter Walters etc. a couple of years back, even that These type of punts sometimes work out, like it did with Sam Mc. Waghorn and Bidwell are just Beavon and Junior...

The only concern for me is when the “model” (Brentford Model for the sake of argument) isn’t followed. - Young players we can develop and potentially sell on to reinvest / improve - avoid over 28’s where their contract will expire past 30 (unless GK) or a savvy midfield General / skipper...

Rolls Royce: Expensive to own and run Bad for the environment Polarising appearance Depreciate quickly Robins was right.

I agree. I shy away from politics on here - there’s no point. I can say that there are decent left wing folk and then there are hard left twunts. Similarly there are far right morons. Sensible, slightly centre right folks tend to get hammered by lefty keyboard twirlers who often use multiple...

We are missing a Kelly / Doyle / M James type general in the middle. Someone to rally the team and get into the refs ear when Calum is clobbered. Sheaf not strong enough. Hamer too petulant.
