Honestly I think the problem is sat in the directors box but you can’t get rid of him and maybe it’s best he lives or dies by all his own decisions.

I said in one of my rants that he needs an assistant in. And let’s be positive here there’s no transfer window for coaching staff and they cost less than players. So it’s an easy and cheap fix. Ideally we’d have it on the pitch, but if Doug won’t spring for that, then he needs to find one or...

It’s not just about Lawrence, or Viveash, or Kelly, or McFadzean. It’s all of them and not anyone with the same mentality coming in.

Honestly: good.

I knew a lot of kids who wanted into various trades but either needed maths and English C grade for some reason or had to get a company to sponsor them and places were always limited. I know there’s been less interest recently, but generally it feels like we’ve let a whole generation of...

No I don’t think that. I can completely accept the game schedule and squad size and general losing at Wembley deflation played a big part. I think Viveash was very important though. I can accept he may have made his position untenable, but then it’s on the club to replace him with as good if...

Talk us round Evo. What are you seeing this season that gives you hope?

Nothing changes over night. Old habits stick about for a bit. We also had Viveash. The worry is now we have neither and their replacements aren’t good enough.

Right let’s be crystal clear here. The hypothesis is that Lawrence and particularly Viveash were heavily responsible for our performances and the team that’s replaced them starting from last March isn’t up to scratch. That’s why taking last seasons results matters. Because it shows the cut off...

This TBF is the other reason I’m not full Robins out yet.

The thing for me mate is if I’m honest since we’ve come up we’ve not looked convincing without Vik and Gus. That was fine because we were run on a shoestring. But their sale should have meant we built a proper squad of championship players rather than two PL ones and a bunch of L1. And TBF we...

His progression has been the one bright spot this season. Really looks a better player since he started being braver with his passes.

Point is it’s been shit for a while. More than 5 games. Pretty much aside from when Saka Wright and Simms were playing together we were crap last season. We’re five games in and not one part of the team is settled this season. We can’t keep throwing away the first 10-15 games a season and...

Mine didn’t really go down at all until I moved to a whole different income level and then paid off in less than three years. And now I’ll be free of a tax that people earning what I was will be paying until 60. Madness.

In terms of engineering probably not, and certainly in my (fake) engineering discipline companies are happy to hire what’s out there and skill them up. Don’t know as much about proper engineering. I did a Marconi Apprenticeship and I’m not sure we’ve got the companies do offer the really high...

I mean obviously I’m no longer strongly in favour of debt forgiveness :P The effective tax rate on graduates earning modest sums is ludicrous.

But the most expensive. All the people you or I feel aren’t doing proper quals pay for those that are. David Beckham Studies or Gender Neutral Basket Weaving Studies costs fuck all to staff and resource. An empty classroom and a teacher with no more lucrative career alternatives versus a fully...

Companies won’t train them cos they fuck off and start their own business. Would be ludicrous for govt to encourage a generation of small business owners tho. Best to just have building be really expensive and immigration required.

My student loan is paid off in two months time. I’ll get almost as much as my mortgage payment back each month, more than my child support amount. All disposable income. Imagine the drag on the economy that’s been.
