With Blackburn, we did concede a penalty that resulted in a goal and a red card in the first 10-15 minutes of the game. Blackburn were also in a rich vain of form too!

I think a lot of us fans had an inferiority complex about us going into the season, which is totally understandable. As we’ve seen, there are plenty of clubs living beyond their means and paying average players larger salaries than their worth. In the next 2-3 seasons, providing our...

Signing Liam Walsh is a move that makes sense for both parties. He may attract a higher salary elsewhere, but will he get the game time he will here? Probably not. Lets make this move happen!

Lords reform is needed without a doubt. But, an elected house to rival the authority of Parliament is not the optimal solution. Looking at the USA, having two houses can lead to deadlock which is why the US has struggled getting budgets through the house. The Fixed Term Parliament was...

It might not be the most popular view, but I really like our electoral system (FPTP). It produces disproportionate winners and losers, but it mostly allows for strong governance. You have the odd decade where parliament is weak (1970s and 2010s). To take 2019 as an example, you’ve had the...

Baka didn’t look like scoring even when he got the ball in good positions. It was probably down to his confidence and that doesn’t help when you get very little minutes. That said, we need someone to make that impact and he wasn’t the guy. Biamou, credit to him, did come off the bench to get...

Didn’t someone on this board mention someone spewing nonsense on the CWR phone in saying we should sack Robins and play 4-4-2? Or was that just @Grendel? Low blow, I know!

Madness. There are games when Biamou played ‘better’ in open play than the likes of Godden or Walker. The difference is that the latter two will take the chances they get. Games like Luton away shown exactly why we need to move on and improve the squad. We can’t be missing two 1v1s before going...

The guy must be kidding? Armstrong, McGoldrick, Wilson, Clarke, McNulty, Godden and Walker at least!

It’s a balancing act and always has been for Labour Tory Remainers were more willing to vote for Brexit than there were to vote potentially remaining in the EU under a Labour government led by Corbyn. Simultaneously, Labour Leave voters abandoned the party to vote the Brexit Party or...

Was it? The UKIP vote in 2015 was largely similar to the Brexit Party vote in 2019 in the constituencies they actually stood in. Labour should’ve done one of two things to mitigate the electoral wipeout: 1) Went all in with the 2nd referendum option as the Lib Dem’s did 2) Accepted Brexit and...

With all due respect, this kind of thinking is exactly why Labour finds itself out of touch with the electorate. The party just doesn’t seem capable of confronting its own electoral failures. Generally, its traditional working class base feels like the Labour Party is a party for the cities and...

Not really true, is it? Labour haemorrhaged votes on both sides of the Brexit debate. Lost around 1 million votes to the Lib Dem’s and the Greens and about 800 thousand votes to the Brexit Party and the Tories. The Remainer’s were not happy happy with Labour lack of commitment to a second...

Very clearly, Jaime Allen is POTY.

If Biamou stuck away more of his chances, perhaps he’d be offered a new contract. Overall, he’s played a decent role this season. Some of his performances have surpassed expectations. We have two better strikers. As a club looking to consolidate our Championship status, it’s best the parties...

We have two good strikers with good strike rates this season. In all competitions, Walker scored a goal per 240 minutes and Godden scored every 255 minutes. That could roughly translate to a goal every three games. For comparison, Biamou scored every 350 minutes. Bearing in mind that both...

Hiwula made most of his appearances off of the wing.

The market might not be as depressed as last season as things start to open up and clubs can expect to have fans back in stadiums. Personally, I was surprised at how long it took for Hiwula to get a club. Something must be going on with him as he’s really fell since his first season with us.

Bakayoko will do fine at a L1 or top L2 team. He probably needs a team where he’ll get plenty of game time to build his confidence. Unfortunately, despite a promising preseason, he hasn’t shown any evidence he can have a meaningful impact in the Championship. Highly likeable figure and...

Walker scored 8 goals in 33 appearances and about 12 of those appearances were made off the bench (below 45 minutes played). A goal every 240 minutes is a good return for a player playing his first season in the Championship on a team fighting relegation for most of the season. In Tyler Walker...
