What’s with the natural predisposition in this country towards 442? Why is it that, in your words, any other formation could only secure a 0-0 at best? Bizarre.

Don’t really do the normal lottery but I do enter the daily Sky Lotto (linked to SkyBet). Free to enter, jackpot of £25k except for Friday when it’s £250k. Obviously there as a loss-leader to tempt you into betting but as long as you have the right mentality you’re fine. They also offer one free...

This isn’t a development signing, not in the traditional sense anyway. He will be in the first team squad.

They don’t win games, that’s why they’re down there.

Ben Wilson isn’t young, he’s older than Marosi.

The fitness thing wasn’t a myth at all, he visibly looked about a stone lighter at Sheff Utd than at any stage with us.

As said, easy to point at this with hindsight and say it was a poor signing, but he clearly has ability. Struggles with the tactical side of the game and lacks fitness, but it’s not like he’s a complete sack of shite.

I checked that out, he’s contracted til 2022. To talk through my thinking on the CB situation, I think Fadz has done reasonably well but to play the style of play we want to, we have to push up the pitch and as such we need quicker CBs. He will be 34 by the time next season starts and I’d...

Feels like a rather astute signing. Talk in that article of him being very attacking so feels like he would excel in a wing back role. Be interested to know whether he will be considered first choice for next season.

Ellery Cairo. Christ. I remember Lee Hildreth’s dad giving him a bit of shit at a reserve game and he stopped and offered him his boots to play instead of him.

Just for clarity, there’s: Camp (imminent) McFadzean Kelly Hyam - 1-year option Bakayoko Jones Thompson Biamou Out of those, I think I’d exercise Hyam’s 1-year option and would consider 1-year extensions for Kelly and Biamou. However, I get the feeling Matty James is coming in to replace Kelly...

I’m sure if you message Dave Boddy and offer to pay £110k for your match pass he’ll ring Rupert Murdoch himself to cancel.

I initially read that as Brentford v Watford and wondered why it had been posted. Don’t like midday kick offs, I’m too drunk by 5pm.

Did a 10k this morning, slightly slower than pre-Christmas but given it’s only my second ever attempt I’m not too fussed. Needed it big time as I’ve been a little lazy this week, and it’s led to me having my most productive morning at work for weeks.

Fucking hell.

Indeed, and you’ll note he drifted out to the left rather often. O’Hare, meanwhile, was operating far too wide at times. He’s most effective when running at centre backs, yet seemed to be preoccupied with their left back.

‘Asked about his role in Britannia Unchained, a 2012 collection of essays by then Tory backbenchers calling for reduced worker protections, Kwarteng told the committee that was “a long time ago”.’

So painfully right footed, don’t think he controlled the ball once with his left and that is concerning. Signals it’s a confidence issue.

The guy is scarily good now.

I think we have to revert to 2 up top. We looked more threatening when doing this about 6 weeks ago.
