Not a huge McCallum fan but fair play to him, top performance tonight, mainly defensively. And that’s where my issue lies. He’s a good LB but not convinced at LWB.

What have you got against the Beng Meng Ceng Miet family?

Both surely? We’ve had restrictions in place for about 4 months up until recently and it’s proven before that this makes a huge impact on the rate of infection. The hope/expectation is that it won’t increase as sharply as previously due to people having been vaccinated, no?

Don’t know what offends me more: the team selection or the fact it’s listed as a 352 when it’s blatantly not.

Grendel’s on there?

Sorry, don’t think I’m explaining myself too well. Yes, I’d be wanting to move on 10 players (not including returning loans) and replace them with 5 higher quality players.

I’d have them both at around £5-6k per week. I think we’re talking different stratospheres when I say you’re low-balling by quite a distance! Didn’t realise it may be interpreted that I thought they were among the top earners in the division. McFadzean’s earning power may decrease at this...

I think you’re low-balling that by quite a distance.

That won’t happen though. Certainly not until we’ve fully established ourself in the division. For reference, I would also be looking to release McFadzean and probably Kelly to make it happen, so it won’t be just the lowest earners.

Next season, given the return to a ‘normal’ schedule, I really want us to trim the squad and focus on quality over quantity. Who knows, maybe that’s the alternative motive behind signings for the u23s like Tavares. Waste of time having 5 first team strikers. Convinced that if we cut numbers but...

Mad to think he signed a 5 year deal with Wolves.

That’s the way you’re framing the argument.

Any vacancies? Could do with one of these sit-on-your-arse 4 day week jobs!

He didn’t look fit when coming on as a sub for a good while. The decision to play Shipley and Allen you’re right though.

Didn’t realise, but equally I’m not overly surprised. This manic need to cut staff (in every single industry) is mind-boggling. Spoke to a chap yesterday who runs a cycling shop, business absolutely booming, probably up 40-50% in sales and yet has focussed so much on cutting costs that the idea...

Look Zain, I know you’re bitter about him having replaced you but I think it’s time to let it go and concentrate on avoiding relegation to L2.

This is absolutely bang on. 2 loan players competing for 1 position is/was a complete waste of time and resource.

Teaching.

In fairness(!), I didn’t think Gyokeres looked anywhere near fit when he was being brought on as a sub in games early on. Looked a lot better more recently v QPR and Bristol.

The penalties will have been included in the xG stats - guessing they’re recorded at about 0.85 xG. Fact of the matter is Godden and Walker are significantly more clinical. Max’s finishing is clearly a way below par. O’Hare, for all his plus points, can we really afford for a player to...
