Those people he’s with, are they anything to do with Wolves?

Maybe this rumour of Conor Coventry is just a case of hedging our bets? If Bright comes, we move back to 4231 and have sufficient cover in CM. If he doesn’t, we may need an extra body if we’re staying with a 433.

That aspect of the post I actually agree with. The players largely know how to play a 4231 - it isn’t a world away from the current formation. The key was that if we persisted with 4231 and hung our hat on Bright coming only to be disappointed then we’d be playing catch up. I expect that if he...

The front two that we haven’t played for well over a year now?

That’s the thing that makes me doubt it. If a PL team are sending a youngster on loan then more often than not they are expecting masses of game time. I’d rather we brought in a proper squad player on a permanent if that were the case, allowing us a better chance of playing our youngsters.

Signing a defensive midfielder could just be cover for Kelly....or could mean a shift back to 4231

Need 3 strikers in the squad so keep them.

Customer service when I was with them was appalling. Got a 25% discount on contract prices through work so went to get a new iPhone about 5 years ago. Bought it in store, showed my work pass and they said they’d register the discount. First month’s bill came and it was full price. Headed into...

Whisky is lovely stuff. Off on holiday at the end of this week so will pick up a bottle of single malt on the return journey. Last one I had was Glenlivet Master Distiller’s Reserve (which I later found out is/was only available in Duty Free). So smooth, complete contrast to the peatier whiskies...

Pick him out the lineup:

Well he didn’t play for them then so that would be a job.

It would indeed be in a holding company. That is standard practice with commercial owner-occupied property nowadays. That means they would end up renting it to the club, but the key is that it would make the group marketable and they’d be looking to sell. These scare stories of them forever...

And yet strangely never seem to improve.

Didn’t know anything about that. Fuck ‘em, the Fuzzy’s better anyway.

Correct, Root has to be canned as captain. In saying that though, who is the alternative? Very few players secure in the starting 11 at the moment. I was having a think about the team for the 2nd test and have come up with the below: Burns Sibley Root Roy Stokes Buttler/Bairstow/Foakes (form...

Absolute dearth of red-ball talent out on the county circuit. As I mentioned the other day, Burns’ century was unconvincing and he looked like he could be got at any point. ECB have chased the £ in promoting one-day cricket and T20 competitions and by doing so have sidelined the County...

If that were an option, would they permit the ifollow stream in the UK? I’d guess not but would be interesting as an option.

Having just looked at last season’s top scorers, it’s noticeable how many have moved this summer to better teams or been promoted. Think we’ve missed the boat striker-wise if we’re looking for proven L1 quality. The only higher scorer within that chart who I’d say would fit our style but also be...

Not sure I’d want him. Must be better options available if we’re going to be looking at a fee.

He also spends half his time injured and the other half kicking/elbowing opponents. Can’t score any goals from the sidelines.
