Transfer makes sense as he wasn't going to be first choice. Defensively not astute enough but was the most comfortable with the ball at his feet of any of centre backs. Still only young so time to improve. It will be interesting to see how he does. Hopefully, bring in someone ready to compete as...

If he was leaving, what would be the point? Therefore, suggests he may be staying.

Missed first 30 minutes. What I saw for the rest of first half was so pedestrian. Don't see the point playing at that tempo when they were only playing 45 minutes, apart from Andrews. Might as well just had a training session. Not going to improve match fitness playing walking football. Second...

I am surprised about the lack of friendlies, particularly on the weekends.

Some very talented Liverpool youngsters v Preston. 21 year old centre back Stephenson looks excellent.

Interesting that Bidwell wore captain's armband. Not sure that suggests he is on his way out as some have suggested. Encouraged that Bell played ahead of Collins.

Bit confused what is a so called joke and what is genuine rumour. Got my hopes up thinking Wright could be off for £10m. Going by his performances following his injury (exception of hattrick) I don't think he is worth half of that.

Probably nothing in it as some of the post didn't make sense, stating Bidwell is signing for Wrexham

Dave Sexton

I hope not. I have not been particularly impressed when he has come up against us. Looks average at best.

I was thinking the same (did I miss something). From the video near the end of the season, Rudoni clearly will have won Players' Player, but not sure what else. Has there even been a vote for fans player (apart from regional groups)? I have never known for it to be delayed.

He looks like Rudoni. Maybe it is tactical to confuse the opposition when marking. We already have Eccles and Torp who provides a 'who is that?' factor (at least from distance).

Didn't Strachan re-register as a player after retiring whilst managing?

Trevor Peake should have been capped for England. Quietly went about his business. Lloyd McGrath didn't pull up any trees but was the ultimate man marker / tough tackler. For modern day, Liam Kelly is a good shout.

It makes a mockery of possession based teams at the moment but to have success with it you need players who can break quickly and run with the ball. Sunderland have that with Mayenda. Palace have a number of players. Plymouth with Bundu. Luton with Alli. We don't seem to have those direct...

Just goes to show, if you get into the playoffs, anything can happen.

He was one of our quickest players at the time, surprisingly. Something we are lacking in defence (Van Erwijk the exception). Unfortunately, he seems to struggle keeping injury free.

I think we have a good chance of playoffs, maybe even more depending on ins and outs. Just don't think the relegated teams are going to be so strong. How the promoted teams do with their big spending may level things up.
