Think I’ve found the one. Jake Clarke-Salter.

Grow up.

I’d possibly dispute the hard worker tag as well. Maybe on the pitch he does a bit of closing down, but given he’s barely improved one iota since coming in I’d be concerned over what he spends his training time doing.

Fixed.

That 2nd was on Da Costa, miles up the pitch unnecessarily.

Klopp’s got a fucking nerve, banging on about needing 5 subs to not overplay his team and then putting out not far off his first XI against a bunch of kids.

In a word, no.

Fair comment - Hyam I think was seen to be on the fringes of first team as soon as he came in. If I recall correctly, he was in the match day squad from the get go. McCallum I think you’ve got a point on.

Conscious decision as I don’t think Robins gets involved in signings for the u23s. That’s mainly been dealt with by Stevens/Farndon to the best of my knowledge. James Pearson was essentially a trialist, I’ll give you Carl Baker as I couldn’t recall him being signed (even when I read it).

A follow on to another post - I was just thinking (on a very slow Friday) about Robins’ success in the transfer/loan market since his return. There’s been a little bit of talk on this so I thought I’d list all the signings/loans and people can judge for themselves which are successes and which...

I’ve just gone through every transfer that’s been made during his second spell (not a lot on today!) and I reckon he’s running at about 80% success rate (quantifying success as the signing fulfilling the role/expectation required, so will maybe be more heavily weighted in favour). Might start a...

That’s the key thing. His mistakes are few and far between, but they are glaring when they happen. That, unfortunately, sticks in the mind.

Quite, but the play was fairly disjointed and I don’t think it gives a true reflection of him regardless.

Godden’s not a target man, didn’t do too badly with him up top last season! I think Walker was made to look worse than he is due to how deep the team were sitting - our wing backs would barely advance past the half way line and O’Hare got dragged back into the midfield battle, meaning Walker...

Everton seem to make a habit of this. Look at someone like Luke Garbutt, released by Everton aged 27 having barely played for them.

Got all excited when this thread was resurrected. Ah well.

Bit forward.

Can’t be arsed to check, but I’m sure someone said yesterday that they thought cases would drop for a period now. Unfortunately, with the lag for admissions/ICU/deaths there’s still a way to go.

And, funnily enough, the root cause is the same in both cases.
