If we'd been under SISU still they'd have probably brought the reveals forward a day just to make him/CT look silly. Oh, wait, under SISU there wouldn't have been any signings. As you were.

Most likely, but given that it's an inconvenience for the customer and that they've got to go to the extra trouble of removing them I'd have let them keep them as a goodwill gesture. Literally costs nothing.

Wonder if Brekalo went to Leeds we might go back in for Cresswell?

Yes, but it still takes time to stick those logos on before posting them out. If it were me I'd want them totally finished, packaged up and ready to go in advance of the release. The fact the release pics had a photoshopped logo on showed that they weren't ready at all. That's just terrible.

Fair points. Simms isn't remonstrating with players for not trying the pass (though some, like my mate, might argue that's because he's hiding and not actually too disappointed they didn't play it) And like you say Hamer isn't there playing the more adventurous passes and the likes of Sheaf...

This is just my opinion, but I think this has been such a shitshow because of errors from both sides. I think we made it difficult for Hummel to produce the shirt because we didn't have a sponsor until 5 mins before it was due for release. Then the manufacturers have had issues getting the...

I'm not saying pass it to his feet. I'm saying for him to try and run in front of the defender onto a throughball. I know strikers tend to arc their runs behind a defender but Simms doesn't seem to not exploit the space behind but keep the defender between him and the ball making it harder for...

I was discussing it with a mate and the phrase 'he's hiding' was mentioned.

No. I said he always has a defender between himself and the person playing the ball. Makes the chance of him actually getting the ball pretty small. He needs to try and run across the defender as well.

New signings need time to gel, get used to their teammates and learn the system

That's the type of team I want to see us put out - a mix of older pro's not currently getting a game and promising kids. It'll help them learn so much.

Wouldn't want it used every time, but having people in the box ready for it opens up other opportunities. Our short throws are crap, with little movement and almost always just knocked back to the throw in taker (if not straight out of play)

People have mentioned him not getting the service, but one thing I've noticed is that he always makes the run behind the defender, this putting a player between him and the passer. So the passer might think the ball would get intercepted if he played it and so doesn't bother. This seems to be a...

He's Walking In The Ayari.

Wilson - 7 Lats - 8 Fadz - 8 Thomas - 6.5 MvE - 6.5 JD - 7.5 Eccles - 7 Sheaf - 7 Palmer - 7 Simms - 6 Godden - 6 Ayari - 7 Wright - 6

I thought it looked like he was going to a few times but ended up leaving the ball slightly behind and that gave the defender just enough time to close him down.

I agree, but then it leaves the issue of who to play up front. Godden never seems to get involved when up front on his own, Simms doesn't seem to have the movement or spotting the runs, though could probably hold the ball up. Wright could be the one, but I feel he might be inconsistent. You're...

I thought he let too much go and was encouraging someone to fly in with a challenge. With O'Nien on the pitch that's a dangerous thing to do. But he was consistent in letting it go for both teams.

No, it makes people concentrate very specifically on the small areas that the pay is linked to at the expense of other areas. Been shown in organsiations it's created overall poor performance because different departments are measured on different metrics and one will do something that affects...

I don't think one necessarily follows the other. We see people in very prominent positions that throw the blame on others the second anything goes wrong. People in it for the pay and prestige, but when accountability rears its ugly head, suddenly they're not interested. I've been in jobs where...
