Maybe some sort of compromise would be loans that we are seriously considering signing permanently. hasn't worked out too bad in the recent past.

Bidwell Sheaf Eccles MvE after that we're looking at players that have had poor spells. Saka would probably fill the fifth space but can make arguments for Simms, Wright and Thomas.

Was who I was going to mention. Really annoyed me he was apparently getting £2k for 2min cameos off the bench at a time when we literally had no money.

Especially as most of our Cb's excluding Lati are pretty tall - 6'2''+

They're not. These types of job attract egos, not ability.

While we are still mathematically able to get in the play-offs we play the strongest possible team (though with injuries etc that's still going to be depleted) If/when we no longer can then you wrap any players playing with injuries in cotton wool and give youngsters a run out from the bench...

Read that as arse slot. Guess he'll have a crack at it.

It's not about just always 'arsing about'. If you just lump it up the pitch everytime you get pressed chances are you're going to be spending a lot of time defending. It's being absolutely wedded to the philosophy so other teams know you're going to try and play it out. if you mix it up then...

Because then you're playing players who are still feeling tired against opposition who are fresh at the start of the game. And then you're committed to knowing you'll have a poorer team on the pitch at the end and goals are more likely to be scored in the last 20 mins than first 20. If we've...

Corners would be more like a Chippendales performance.

Maybe if Collins had gone through full pelt he would have taken the player out. maybe he'd have smacked the ball against the player and it'd have gone in. But the fact was he just let the guy take the ball off him by pulling out of the challenge entirely. And that frustrates me even more.

Plumping it?

Doubt it. Think ST's will go down due to the number of games that have been moved this season, and only likely to b worse due to the new deal.

He was this season. Obviously hope he can work with the coaches pre-season and improve, or we'll be risking putting ourselves into catch-up mode again. same with the entire defence and keeper. Needs to be dramatic improvement as I doubt it's their plan to spend the summer looking to replace them.

If that's the case makes it even weirder how he's been picked all the time while others are rotated, even to the point where he's having a mare and instead someone else is subbed off and Lati moved to a different position.

yeah, I accept that. Hence why it'd have to be, as you say, clamping down on people acting like twats. And maybe part of that clampdown should involve thorough searches and drug tests so charges/banning orders can be brought against them. Anyone caught in possession or found to have drug in...

I'm sure they can. Problem is that there's other people playing against them. You ask a marathon runner to run a marathon the day after they've run one and they'll be able to do it, but I bet they'll do it slower. And if they're against someone of a similar level who hadn't run the day before...

Just cos it's hard to police doesn't mean we shouldn't. Cokeheads acting like twats is a big negative experience. It's not like half of them don't show obvious signs of being sniffed up. Can't the police act on suspicions of being under the influence of drugs? If they have these suspicions...

And this is why I think we need a bigger squad. Part of the problem is that players get physically and emotionally fatigued and they need more time to recover than the schedule gives them. Even Peter Schmeichel once got sent of on holiday for a few weeks by Fergie because his performances...

Was closer than I expected given how tired so many of our first teamers must be but really annoying we've gifted them three goals.
