Graham is my uncle - wish I could have seen him play

Interesting. Not dissimilar to how Chelsea operated for a long while. I suppose the ‘success’ in this case depends how you frame it. They have plenty of resources to give them a big advantage in the Championship, and then have been a bit of a yo-yo team.

I think we should offer him a new deal, as we know he’s a competent CB in the 3. It’s whether he wants to leave to be a guaranteed starter elsewhere.

It was the low point of last season for me. I arrived late just as they went ahead, and then I was leaving to get a head start back up the M1 when they scored their second. Dismal performance.

7+ would be really good, and put us in a great position

Loads of Leeds fans gutted they didn't do exactly that in January

In Vik's case I don't think 1 year left impacts his value as much as it would with other players. 1. He's young enough, with potential to improve and you would think the buyer would be able to accrue a great resale value 2. There is lots of hype and competition to sign him. I would expect...

Yeah looks like they'd lost 5 from the last 6 pre Wigan. That'll be why then

Just looked, very strange ha. They’re only three points and one place behind us, their results seem fine, but they’re absolutely hammering their chances and their team.

I’m not saying any of that. 80% of revenue coming from 20% of customer doesn’t = they target problem gamblers and most revenue comes from problem gamblers. Also I’m not defending the indefensible, gambling clearly ruins people’s lives and the relationship with football is unhealthy, but you’re...

What have you done in the first instance? Second example is true of every business, and not per se linked to targeting problem gamblers. Thirdly, horrific and definitely true of the past, but not what is being done now (albeit they could never truly know the welfare of the customer).

Yep and they’re businesses. There’s a difference and admittedly fine line between that and actively encouraging problem gambling and targeting problem gamblers.

Do you think with alcohol it’s more to do with increased information about health impacts, e.g. alcohol’s impact on mental health? Not saying it is but there’s other variables. I agree that if they removed it from everything to do with footy then it may have an impact. However gambling and...

It’s not

Historically but not really true now. They don’t want problem gamblers. There’s a lot of work that goes into identifying problem gamblers and preventing them from playing. They want a lot of people who lose a modest amount and then wealthy people happy to lose a lot. With gambling the genie is...

Definitely. Always remember that lad at Dover, Ricky Miller, who bagged 40 goals in the conference. Big reputation and Peterborough signed him. Didn’t register once for them

Ah I see - yeah not wrong, I'm sure he'll have his pick.

If Rotherham go down, I like Ogbene. Not sure if he could do RWB in our system though. Probably be a decent fee involved too.

Langstaff a machine, and that Notts team are so good. Watched them at York earlier in the season. Ruben Rodrigues unbelievable at that level. Championship probably too much of a step up but would like to see him have a go.

Defence looks very assured with Fadz and McNally in there, still worry a bit about Doyle when the balls lumped over his head, but he's a good player. Norton-Cuffy and Bidwell/JWE at LB v decent too. Goals and midfield supporting Vik the challenge, need Palmer to go again and play at a really...
