    Five subs

    The more subs you allow the more it plays into the big clubs hands and encourages teams to overspend. Look at our bench recently, we've had to bring players like Kasta in just to have a full allocation of possible subs. Then we see teams we are playing bringing on multi-million pound players.

    Coronavirus Thread (Off Topic, Politics)

    They might be better off using something like the testing facilities. Not sure my GP could logistically cope with 1000 people a day through the doors - remember at that point you won't be immune so social distancing will still be needed.

    Trump is my favourite comedian of the year already

    I assume its based on the Trump team's legal action but it seems they've not actually been able to provide any evidence of voter fraud. They've now flipped to challenging how the vote was run but that has previously been challenged in court and rule to be no issue so seems a bit of a...

    Coronavirus Thread (Off Topic, Politics)

    When we first opened all the testing centres in this country there were questions asked about why people were being expected to self administer the tests when in other countries someone qualified did it. Surely it impacts on the accuracy if the tests aren't being done properly. In other news...

    Spot on. I can sit in the house for a few months if I know that around spring things will be looking up. Not like anything I'd normally do is operational. That's very different to sitting in the house with no idea when you'll next be able to see a match, gig etc.

    The EU: In, out, shake it all about....

    Shame so many people think this is going to stop illegal immigrants. Clue is in the name, if they're coming in illegally its not going to make any difference. And of course we lose our access to travel freely, and work, in Europe. Think I'll hold back on the celebrations.

    Trump is my favourite comedian of the year already

    See Pence has tried to take credit for the Pfizer vaccine, swiftly followed by Pfizer saying he's talking bollocks and the US government had zero involvement.

    Well over my head but there seems to be enough very intelligent people who know what they're on about getting very excited to indicate this is actually genuine good news and a light at the end of the tunnel.

    Is that where the famous herd immunity comes in? If 90% of people are, at worst, going to be asymptomatic does that limit the spread? Are asymptomatic people less infectious?

    Trump is my favourite comedian of the year already

    Never really thought about it before as we've been dealing with grown ups but keeping a President who has lost in power for another couple of months maybe not the best way to do things. What happens if he starts trying to make as much mess as possible before he is forced out?

    Coronavirus Thread (Off Topic, Politics)

    The how long it lasts thing is interesting. If its just a case of having it annually like the flu jab then not really an issue. If it means it wears off and then you're back to square one that's a very different scenario. Assume its the former as that seems to be how it works with other vaccines.

    Great news. Lets hope it all comes good and we can start to see things returning to normal. Timing certainly ties in with other things we've heard.

    Trump is my favourite comedian of the year already

    Even by 2020 standards Rudy Giuliani holding a press conference at Four Seasons Total Landscaping next door to a sex shop ranting mad conspiracy theories with zero evidence to a disinterested media is up there as very odd.

    So confused....

    There's enough coaches and stats people at the club that you'd think they'd be able to identify if we're using the wrong system. A switch away from zonal seems a very achievable thing. Not exactly something radical that will confuse the players.

    Good news if the numbers are stabilising as various head of NHS Trusts have expressed concern they were reaching the point of being overrun. Of course stabilisation of the current numbers is still high, next step is to see them start coming down. My worry is that the current lockdown seems to...

    Sacrifice wing backs

    Not sure we've got the players for what is being suggested. Would also be worried that we'd be under constant pressure. Its great talking about sneaking 1-0 wins but who are you counting on to put away the solitary half chance we get every couple of games in that system? Even from a defensive...

    So confused....

    On the bright side we're getting better. We've gone from thinking have no chance of winning any games and will be played off the park every week to be frustrated at not winning away at Watford in a matter of weeks. We all know some of the issues aren't easily fixable. McFadz isn't going to...

    Too soon?

    No, you always take promotion. Some of us are old enough to remember the annual relegation fights in the Prem. Plenty of people in those days used to say it would do us good to go down so we could come straight back up with a winning mentality. Look how that worked out.
