    Undoubted ability. But he’s not a starter for me. The exasperation outweighs the satisfaction.

    Palmers main issue is decision making. Tries the wonder pass too often. Looks great the 1 time in 50 it comes off. Unfortunately it looks like dog shit the other 49.

    Eccles and Van Ewijk ok. Simms nothing to feed on. The rest just gone unfortunately.

    Well unfortunately that was testicles from start to finish. There was a period just before their second goal when the authorities really should have been looking into irregular betting patterns. Latibeaudiere and Thomas were channelling Grobelaar. Absolute stinker.

    New number one needed

    Time to think again about “beating the press”??? You can do it. But you can’t do it with our current defence.

    Crikey. This is really bad. Kamikaze defending. Latibeaudiere- what on earth is he doing out there?????

    Dasilva will always be exposed defensively. We can’t play out from the back with Latibeaudiere in there - he’s just not comfortable on the ball. Good halves from Van Ewijk and Eccles.

    The no loans strategy

    You make the point perfectly though. Compare the seasons where we were stacked with loans as shown above. Compare this season - arguably our best in a long time. But, more importantly, look at next season. No major rebuild.

    Transfer Rumour Coventry after Aussie sensation

    Presumably he’s equally as efffective Home and Away.

    The no loans strategy

    Calling for loans is easy in hindsight. Go back to Jan - who are you going and getting? Do you waste one on cover for Sakamoto? Would anyone loan you someone who they know won’t play in front of him? You’d probably get a CF as Simms isn’t firing - look how much damage that might have done. The...

    Solid, regular, back 5.

    From who we have we know it don’t we? Wilson, Van Ewijk, Thomas, Kitching, Bidwell

    The no loans strategy

    But that’s where we did well. We obviously tracked the player, and didn’t let the knock back stop us doing the deal. Long term thinking. We were unlucky in that we found a system that suited but left us relying a lot on Sakamoto.

    Liam Kitching

    Not sure where the narrative that he’s been disappointing comes from. A couple of mad moments but defensively and distribution wise I think he’s been our best defender.

    24/25 changes?

    I’d like us to look at Rudoni - currently at Huddersfield

    It's the hope that gets you

    Been a great season. We’ve unearthed two 20 goal a season strikers, rebuilt the defence, got next seasons recruitment underway. We’re paying fees for people - a pipe dream for many recent years. Then add in the squad stability going into next year and that’s without talking about the cup or the...

    Liam Kitching

    Kitching will be fine. He’ll mature a bit and be a very good asset for us in my opinion.

    The no loans strategy

    I like and support Kings stance on loans. They are not the way to build a squad. If you get to Jan and have huge injury worries then yes - take a couple. But I’d really avoid it where possible and don’t think we needed any in January. They’re expensive, can impact morale, can force team...

    Sheaf

    A couple of things on this. Sheaf is an excellent player but positions such as Gyok and Hamer attract more interest so we may not be overrun with offers. But if we do get a good bid that is our model. Buy low, sell high. It’s working. I’d rather have Wright, Simms, Sakamoto, Van Ewijk, Kitching...
