must have been someone else Lampard referenced more than once, to have a poor attitude in training then. Or at least was expecting more game time than their training deserved.

Well it wasn’t the most obvious place we would invest that kind of money at the time. So the club must have seen something? That’s what I meant by the, it seemed like a too good an opportunity to miss phrase (as it wasn’t mine).

So 80% left 😜

It did seem like a too good an opportunity to miss type signing. What I found interesting in the article was Bassette states, but Frank and his team didn’t want me. So it wasn’t just Frank, there were obviously issues around his attitude in and towards training. So far more players seem to be...

I just want to see us win and with a clean sheet. I’m not looking for crazy goalscoring feats. Our two main challenges going forward will be: 1. Managing fans expectations. 2. Adapting to how teams set up against us. Because it will change and once a couple are successful, those tactics...

Next batch of 6? Totally ripped off there. Inflation ffs. I want a better return than that!

I think with Brau, the club may feel Dasilva and Bidwell can cover the LB position at last for this season. It may be they feel Brau is a bit of a long term project and worth the fairly low investment. He looks to have some good attributes and has natural attacking instincts. Physically more...

Let’s face it VAR has made worse decisions than that linesman even after the benefit of countless replays.

Yes and even Grimes was on our radar before Frank came. Robins and Viveash did a great job and the squad showed great togetherness even then. But Frank and his staff deserves credit too. Rather than rip it up and start again they have built on what they inherited and it is on record that one...

Superb performance today. Several starters missing. But what we are seeing is how we are playing as a team. Frank showing some fans that Asanti, Allen, Simms and Eccles aren’t rubbish and he wasn’t looking to off load them in the summer. Didnt some think Wright needed moving on? Only the...

We had more than enough to beat Bolton but didn’t. Teams can show tremendous resilience when they are backed into a corner. Sheffield Wednesday may be near the bottom but have picked up some decent results. This is a tough fixture. The crowd will be vociferous and we will need to be at our...

Im not sure what they would achieve apart from making the clubs situation worse. I don’t think getting the game abandoned would gain them any wider support, which is important to them. More importantly I don’t think it would affect the owner or his stance.

You still need versatility in the squad with players who can cover different positions. Fans might not like it but managers know it is essential. Two in each position is 22 the max squad of senior players is 25. That gives you 3 spare. It is very feasible that your two first choice right...

He needed to settle in and get match sharp. Yes he made an error in a friendly, who cares? He made an error in a league match but it didn’t cost us points. The errors haven’t affected him, they have focused him. I think our recent experiences with keepers have made us all a bit overly synical.

authorities would decide. I think it would depend on minutes played and the score and possibly other factors. No point worrying about things that might or might not happen, we need to focus and get the job done. Wednesday are making a fist of it In the league, so I don’t think the fans will...

The reality is you can’t predict who will be out, for how long, and in what positions. Every team has injuries long and short term. You need a bit of luck. We have good levels of ability and versatility in our squad. It’s naive of people to think you can have a squad bigger than 25 senior...

So let’s sink to their level rather than rise above them. Personally I’d rather live by my principles rather copy another persons flaws.

I think Robins freezing him out might have helped him grow up a bit. But agree he is performing well. Fatherhood is possibly another contributing factor.

We had to tighten up defensively, at 2-0 they could have still got back in the game. It wasn't just a case of let's give Woolfenden a run out.

Great result and performance
