But we need more than one first teamer to improve. Need probably 2CB, a LWB and an ACM. Strikers will only change if we get rid of Walker or Waghorn, who would likely be on enough to get in a first team replacement for similar wages.

Good to hear people are now on the mend.

I've tried the earning loads of money - found it totally unfulfilling. As my username suggests, I think we can move beyond this way of living and make life more bearable for more people and so making it a better place to live and getting rid of a lot of the envy and hatred and thus reducing the...

I've not said the Japanese actions weren't utterly despicable. They were, and not just in that conflict. Your argument was that the atomic bombs were justified because they brought about a quicker end to the war (something which is likely true but subjective as to how long it would have gone on...

So are you saying history isn't written and consequences decided by the victors? Also, how do you know it's tripe if only Pete reads it?

Maybe that argument can be made for the first bomb. Once that goes off Japan would have surrendered anyway. The second was overkill. Also, as has been pointed out, it all depends on the victors. Let's say the Japanese/Germans etc had rallied and won the war - do you not think the Amercian's...

Maybe if they claim head injury they have to remain off the pitch for a longer period (say two minutes) unless they get subbed immediately.

Bollocks. You were genuinely trying to point out that Walker would be better than Godden over the season and happily used mpg as a metric to back your argument.

So explain Shipley's inclusion?

I fear that should be get to a stage in the season where we are no longer capable of play-offs he will still refuse to put on youngsters (or even put them on the bench unless absolutely necessary). Worse, I expect he would pick players who are then released at the end of the season. Then next...

In your attempts to prove that Walker is better than Godden:

Unless he literally asks for peanuts I expect he will be released, but it makes a mockery of extending his contract for three years while injured to them just ignore his availability when he's fit. May as well have not given him the first extension. He'd have been more likely to get another one...

So you're back to say mpg isn't a good metric again now it doesn't support your viewpoint...

The defence needs improving over the summer as a main priority after a goalscoring AM, but I think part of it is that we try and get forward and attack. 90% of the time we deal with stuff more than adequately and get punished for the lapses. I'd hate for use to not try and get forward in order...

Not necessarily but it would depend on how they improve using it. As it is it makes being at the match a poor experience as fans in the ground have no idea what's going on. It's why I like rugby where it is shown on the screen and the conversation between officials can be heard. If a time...

I agree that it will be coming in. I just don't think the opinion that it be brought in for odd games that supposedly have a lot riding on them is the correct approach. I also hope when we have it at our games it's vastly improved than the current farce, and looks to others sports like rugby...

That's true for the last few weeks, but Jones was last on the bench on the 5th March. I think he had a covid issue and a child as well. Of course at the moment it's all hands to the pump with injuries and a depleted squad which is seeing Shipley get more of an opportunity. But after Jones was...

I think what I find quite baffling is how Shipley was getting chosen over Jones despite poor performances at AM. Jones has not done terribly on his few appearances this season and I'm sure he would have put more of a shift in. If MR supposedly picks on merit, I just don't see how Shipley fits...

Matty Godden's one of us Hits the net without a fuss You can try to park the bus But he'll still score us goals

I don't think you can start arbitrarily adding the technology in for odd games. It's either the whole competition or not at all. having VAR in cup games for PL teams at home and nowhere else is a farce, and most likely to benefit the PL team as they'll most likely be doing the most attacking...
