15-17 at full strength, it’s not really tenable having 4-5 defenders on the bench week in, week out. Jan will see players come through the door, I’m sure of it. Even if December is a difficult month, we’ll regroup and get back at it.

My provisional plan looks like that atm. However, my mate and I have looked into hiring a camper van (about $4k) but to fit in 27 hours of driving from Dallas to Boston seems impractical. The route would’ve been really cool actually. How would you fit approx 5 hrs of driving per day and tourism...

In fairness, the Aztecs were also conquerors barely a century before the conquistadors and they helped the Spanish maintain control of their empire in the New World. I’m trying to plan what I want to do in the US. Leaning towards the Group games rather than the knock outs purely because if we...

Employers already do offer PHI, my current role has PHI and my next role does. My view point is to incentivise PHI by scrapping VAT on it and to give tax breaks to businesses, self-employed and individuals who get PHI. The idea is twofold; expand the private sector and get less people relying...

Look at how France manage it. It's capped at a low level so it's not exclusionary but equally, stops overconsumption of services. Continually bringing up the boogeyman of US style, purely privatised healthcare is genuine barrier to reform and risks the long term future of the NHS imo. For...

It's pretty normal in social insurance based systems (e.g. France/Germany) to have symbolic charges in place. Like most things that are completely FOC, people take the piss. It's like the whole £10 'no show' fee the Tories tried to introduce, if you just charged that for a GP appointment, who...

lol - even though the budgets were never actually cut. 'The Left' blames everything on 'austerity' when in reality its been an exercise to reduce the rate public expenditure was increasing. The bigger issue is that public bodies are spending money like drunk sailors and there's usually v little...

We really ought to establish charges for GP, A&E and even overnight stays in hospitals. Prescription charges were introduced because demand was too high and people would get medicines they didn't need e.g. paracetamol. A Government serious about 'fixing' healthcare provision in the UK needs to...

There's always a first time. Before we beat Boro in the playoffs, we hadn't won their since 1993 and now we've won the last 4 away there. Throughout the noughties and 2010s, we were dross so we've stacked a fair few boogie teams and stadiums over those years!

They've got a tough run themselves; Birmingham, Hull, Boro, Sheff U and ourselves all to play by Jan 21st. Oxford away is potential banana skin for them on Boxing Day. Southampton's run has been good, but in context, they lost their most difficult fixture v Millwall. Beating QPR, Sheff W...

People said that after Ipswich got battered by Leeds a few season ago, myself included. It's easy to look at the score line and believe Ipswich battered us. They didn't and the game was closer than the score line suggested, much like us pummeling Millwall has done nothing to stop being in and...

I hope he gets well soon!

I don't think they will, they drop too many points. Pretty sure their fans would've trade 6 points v Oxford and Blackburn rather than the satisfaction of beating us handily. If we beat PNE and Bristol, we probably extend our lead at the top of the table and we have a date in December to put the...

My thoughts are with you and your family! I'm happy to see that after a close call, Mrs King is safe and getting better! It's nice that the whole community stepped up to support too! Everyone who responded quicker can be proud of yourselves! It's heartening to see that despite all the differing...

As things stand, we'll probably be back to 'full strength' tomorrow because Sakamoto and Torp will be back in the mix. The only missing player is BTA. Sakamoto was out through the concussion protocol, Torp was 'taken ill' the night before the game and Haji is back now. Southampton is...

I agree but if there was ever a game to try this, it was against Ipswich but instead we played 4-2-3-1 and KKH looked awkward as a RW. Sakamoto is fit for PNE so I can't see us playing anything other than 4-2-3-1 to start the match on Tuesday. Been banging on about the need to sign wingers...

We should've been fresher than Wrexham and Ipswich who had 3 game weeks and somehow, we've lost both. I really don't understand that, at least the latter would've rotated the squad significantly.

I'm not that worried about it all yet because the majority of the goals have been from set pieces which is an easier fix than getting carved open from open play. Ipswich's 2nd and 3rd goals game about because we had 10 players in their half chasing a goal, v much the reverse when beat Millwall...

Was it a good movie? I've arranged to watch it with the other half on Friday. The Everyman cinema is a bit overrated imo, the chairs can get uncomfy for a longer 2+ hour movie. Give me a showcase cinema with the reclining chairs all day! Watched Wicked: For Good on Friday and I do not have the...

Fast forward to the 2030s, Tony will be back voting for Kemi or Farage.
