Getting contracts purely on name now. Absolutely error prone for last two years. Wouldn't want him here.

Another option might be to have a more modular style with coursework which would provide an actual assessment of ability over the length of the course they could use to extrapolate a more accurate grade from. Unless of course someone were stupid enough to disband such a system in favour of...

Can't see anyone we've got available we could sell in order to bring in two that are better than we have for the Championship. Even selling one would likely require a premium on top provided by the owners to improve the squad. Absolutely no chance we've got a player who we could sell to buy...

Doesn't matter. If he's being exploited by the opposition you can't afford that weak link regardless of what the players think or the help he provides them. Doyle helped the players through with his leadership but ended up having to be dropped because he just wasn't up to L1 pace. He may have...

I think O'Hare AND Jones together are too similar in the way they play to be together. They both want to get on the ball and move with it all the time. You need an Allen or Shipley who will try and break the line or get the ball and look to play it through (I guess Hilssner as well) to provide...

I think Jones will be that option. Also O'Hare to be a direct option, albeit lacking the pace.

I see it as a back three with four in front. I think it's a good compromise with the extra CB there as cover but having the two ACM's rather than one also gives us more adaptability. With one you can often get a DCM to sit on them and mark them out of the game. I agree the important thing is to...

This is a different level and the speed and pressing goes up a notch and Fadz with another year in the legs is going to be targeted by opposition managers IMO. I can't see us controlling games to the extent we did last year that IMO allowed Fadz to become that consistent performer because he...

I don't either. I'm just trying to see how Joy might see it. She's only going to go for the most profitable route. She may see winning that case as a chance for big damages and a bigger stadium potentially being available for a lot less money than building. Of course the likelihood of the...

It is quite a question as to which to keep. I reckon Baka has more natural ability but has a tendency to play within himself. Almost like he's embarrassed to use his size to his advantage. It depends on which Baka turns up on any given day he's so inconsistent. Max on the otherhand as you say...

You could only move both on IF you could bring two in to replace them. Godden and A.N. Other isn't going to be enough over a season. To bring in two you'd have to complete clear the decks so Ponti and Bremang going as well as those two to give you three first team options up front, and even...

It's almost a necessary evil to have an ego to use that level of talent, or at least to use it outside of practice. If you worry that doing something you know you're capable of because it'll be perceived as arrogant or disrespectful it hampers that natural ability and holds you back. You need...

Nothing will happen with this until the ECJ ruling. They're not going to tie themselves into a formal partnership and massive capital expenditure while the possibility of a ready made stadium becoming available is an option

Undoubtedly the most naturally gifted sportsperson in his discipline on the planet. Yes, he can be annoying with his conduct and interviews but I guess it's part of what makes him what he is. If he were different would he have the same mindset to play the way he does? Rough with the smooth and...

I don't see Kelly as a weak link and he is instrumental in being a leader and organiser, but at the same time we can't be relying on him for the entire season. He has a habit of picking up knocks and by the end of the season will be in need of a rest. If at that point we're in a fight near the...

If Hancock is blaming PHE he's admitting it's his fault. It's his responsibility - they do what he and the govt tell them to do. It was the Tories that set this system up so if it doesn't work who's fault is it? Yet another deflection of blame that idiots will lap up.

If we could get one that'd be OK - don't think we could afford two decent ones even if we sold all the other strikers bar Godden.

So none of O'Hare, Allen, Shipley, Hilssner, Jones, Jobello (and I ought to add Kastaneer) are capable of creating chances? If not why the hell have we signed two of them during the summer? The problem isn't creating the chances - it's ensuring that one of the two CAM's pushes forward to...

Technically you proved the point yourself there. Something can't really be delayed if it didn't have a release date to begin with.

Not if all we've got are Giles, Mason and Newton and i don't think a LWB is our priority in the transfer market right now. He's about a good a back up as we could hope to get with our financial constraints.
