I think he meant he was told he going due to the money rather than not being rated. However, had Madders turned it down I don't think he'd have left him out, even if ordered to by the board having a sulk.

It's actually all true. One thing he was careful to leave out was his gender.

I've a feeling you're being facetious but IMO no-one should get a statue (at least a big one) until many years after that time so to prove they have an enduring legacy. Not got a problem with some sort of hall-of-fame with busts in it that can be updated, but a major outlay and focal point like...

What I can't understand is why they averaged out the results of the two? Shouldn't they be extolling the fact it's MORE effective with LESS being needed? If they're separate trials involving two doses and one and a half doses keep them separate. It'd be like me saying if I have one bottle of...

Because the Sun and Daily Mail aren't telling them to give a fuck.

Except we had Osti on the bench and brought him on, so a back five/three was an option.

...but not shown any of these fraudulent votes to the judges etc who repeatedly dismiss his cases immediately. It's just so depressing that anyone with half a brain knew this is exactly the tactic he'd do. He'd have done it in 2016 had he lost then.

Bollocks. Terrible example and man-management if he did that. Doing it for disciplinary reasons or because they're disrupting the squad - fine. Just because they're out of favour - surefire way to lose respect and trust in this squad and any future position as word will get around players that...

So why bother with training? Why do we do passing and shooting drills pre-game? Either they're good enough to do it naturally or they're not and anything like this is just a waste of their time and energy.

I don't think it will be either though I'd think Walker and Godden would be better at converting than Biamou or baka. It's more how well they gel together IMO. We haven't been able to field our strongest team fully fit yet due to injury and suspension and we were lucky last year that we had...

You do if you score three or more. Score zero and you definitely don't win. Our defensive record is terrible but the reasons for it aren't due to the formation we were playing. They were down to poor passing and we still had that v Brum and a different striker to Juke would've taken at least a...

The old way we looked dangerous and with a bit more composure in front of goal could have got them. We wouldn't have got two playing against Brum playing in that manner if we were still playing now. Plus many of those goals have been down to poor ball retention/passing and defending set pieces...

Hence why I'm suggesting we devote a lot of training time to it so it improves.

A point with 12 men vs 11 of a very average team should be considered a disaster.

If we're playing two up top arguably Shipley's best assets (linking with the striker and backing up looking to score) aren't as necessary as O'hare, who as well as being creative also gets stuck in. Shipley tends to need replacing after an hour and you could argue O'Hare could be even more...

But how many chances did we create ourselves? It seems against teams that were less likely to score at the time (Barnsley and Brum) MR has looked at that and gone "we could be solid and get a clean sheet". IMO it's better to say "they're less likely to score so we might be able to afford giving...

On the flip side against other teams we were unsuccessful because we weren't clinical with some very good chances. Against Brum we didn't even have the chances to miss.

We were lucky to have not conceded much earlier with the different formation. We were hardly running the show before the change and while they definitely took the upperhand after it if we'd spent two weeks working on that starting formation and then switched it undoubtedly there's going to be a...

I think MR will stick with the formation we started with on Fri. Only possible way that might change is if Godden is available and he decides to play them both. Obv could do with a win but not losing at this stage is Ok. It's once we get into Dec and Jan we really need to look at those games as...

That'd be a decent compromise for this situation. It's indirect aid by cutting wage bills and the big clubs will benefit from it long term. Would need the EFL to relax the loans in matchday squad rules though. Of course for it to be effective with costs it'd mean very loan heavy squads in the...
