Inthink at RW you could make a case it’s more of a job share than bench warming.

The entire point of the Ricoh was that the club wouldn’t have got permission to expand HR.

Both got injured and even when fit we ended up sticking BTA wide left rather than move Wright from ST

Im just being facetious but the point is they’re two high energy positions and saying “yeah but they can all play each others position” doesn’t change the fact there’s only three of them. We aren’t talking “oh what if we get a long term injury” here but more “what if we’re 1-0 down and the...

Worked well last season

It’s alright lads when Saka gets tired EMC can play on the right and when EMC gets tired Saka can play on the left #squadflexibility

No but they’re positions one or two signings could cover all of them. We will want to replace our wingers and strikers more than anyone. Replacing both isn’t unheard of. Currently we have one lad who is yet to show the required ability or fitness and two wingers with a history of injuries.

Let’s be honest Saddles info aside Rapha wasn’t even making the bench last season and BTA isn’t a winger so really if we are playing Wright as a striker we’ve got no back up at RW LW or Rudi at AM really (yeah Torp but he’s our only real 8 and a different profile). Plus nothing at RB as you say...

And if Wright is fit and firing up front? Just move him out and stick Simms in regardless? We saw last season the issue with that thinking and having to completely change your system because of a couple of injuries to players you had double counted.

The fact I didn’t list two of our LBs says it all. Clear out definitely needed so we can improve the overall state of the reserves imo.

Well you don’t cos they’re in the first team. Even with them Wilson in goal? A CB pairing of Kats and Binks? Allen Torp and Eccles in midfield with all the physical presence of Casper the ghost. Rapha in the first team? There’s a lot to be done. Or a lot of stepping up required from fringe...

Think it’s just about depth quality now TBH if we don’t sell anyone. The first team of: Dovin MvE Thomas Kitching KKH Sheaf/Torp Grimes Rudoni Saka Wright EMC Is OK, I still think it needs better at CB. The second string though of: Wilson ?? Lats Binks MAB Sheaf/Torp Eccles Allen Rapha Simms...

In absolute streams here. Just unthinkable.

This has got a lot more detail: https://www.aljazeera.com/amp/news/2025/7/10/whats-in-the-one-in-one-out-migrant-deal-between-the-uk-and-france Limited to two and a half thousand ish a year so about ten percent of crossings apparently. And only those who can prove a family connection.

Once they’re deemed inadmissible. Not sure what that means. How many are picked up generally do we know?

We do have a veto, they’re still subject to normal checks: https://www.gov.uk/government/news/uk-and-france-agree-major-deal-to-crack-down-on-illegal-channel-crossings

IAPT is a sick joke IME

We do all that don’t we? I don’t get it. It’s like awful parking and cars that are clearly illegal annd dodgy e-bikes and dodgy tax front shops and a million other things it seems everyone can see it happening and officials can’t do anything about it.

Yeah there’s absolutely a rise that’s bucking the trend of decades of improvement. But it’s not where it was not too long ago is my point so we shouldn’t be seeing huge impacts compared to then.
