    We need a third player in

    I have no context, but this season he’s got 1 goal in 10 appearances. Perhaps Donny might be willing to go - but probably won’t let him go on a free. Also, hardly a ‘big bad target man’ at 5”10, even I’m taller than that. He’s obviously not someone who will score a lot of goals, but I think...

    Nazon

    If Biamou is so bad, why have both our top scorers, McNulty and Nazon, been at their most productive playing alongside Biamou? People were bickering whether or not he got an assist v Chesterfield - to me, he didn’t get a direct assist, but if that defender has a free header, it doesn’t fall to...

    Nazon

    The other striker have who’s on 8 goals, Nazon? We have matchwinners because McNulty is joint top on ‘matches won’ with his goals (4) and Nazon has ‘won’ 3 matches for us. Interestingly, both of their best runs of form have come playing alongside Biamou (could be coincidence). Not many teams...

    Nazon

    You mean the striker we already have on 12 goals? His name is McNulty

    Second loanee imminent

    For me, he’s the first player who’s got to go - it’s nothing personal, but he’s not proved himself on loan - and we’ve got 4-5 strikers already. Free up his wages.

    Taxi on the way

    I think we were right to keep hold of Stevenson because I don’t think he’s become a bad player overnight (I could be wrong, but people would’ve been critical had we sold him). Last season, I suspect, has probably dented his confidence a bit because I don’t think it’s easy being a young player in...

    Taxi on the way

    Last year year they were, particularly Stevenson, perhaps I didn’t make it clear, but the pertinent point was that we could’ve sold them as part of a ‘great Sisu sell-off’, but didn’t...

    Taxi on the way

    You can only blame the owners for so much. In League 1, there were two season where we built a squad capable of playoffs or better. Forget the (moot) point of whether our budget was ‘top 6 or 8’ in the league at any given time, we’ve had teams that were good enough to get playoffs or better in...

    Taxi on the way

    Come off it! The squad is not thin at all. We've got multiple options in each position and our young players are adding to that, and clearly they're good enough as they have worked their way into the team. Ponticelli, to take an example, has worked his way into the matcday squad and we have 5...

    Taxi on the way

    Don’t know what you mean by MR overcoming the ‘negativity of our owners’ in this season. We’ve signed 14-15 players this season? Most of which are experienced pros in this division. On top of that, we retained key player and the only key player to leave went to Leicester City. I don’t think...

    Do people still wanna stand by their suggestion we should get rid of McNulty?

    Are we happy

    I did think that too, especially because I thought there'd be no chance of keeping Jones, however, his injury could potentially be a blessing in disguise as a team like Leeds isn't going to take a punt on him after coming back from a bad injury. He's the one player I think we need to keep at all...

    How much would promotion cost?

    I personally think we did really well with recruitment in the summer. We had to build a team around a younger, core players and unfortunately, we lost George Thomas too. We've got the best defence in the league, Kelly and Doyle have both been good signings and I think Nazon and McNulty have been...

    Are we happy

    I'm satisfied with where we are at. We've been unlucky with injuries and had some fantastic results against the best sides in the division. However, our record against the worst teams is incredibly frustrating and clearly needs to be addressed if we're hoping for top 3. I want us to get top 3...

    The Duck

    No, but I have been around professional sportsmen and environments to know you're talking nonsense.

    The Duck

    HA! This is absolute nonsense. If he puts through a player through on goal, and that player misses, it’s on them. If he did indeed think that, then it’s clear he’s a bad team player, because a wild shot is in no way better than a chance on a plate, regardless who’s on the end of it. On current...

    Friday night games

    Yes, but they’re two leagues below Wasps - and a lot of their players are semi-pros still! Pretty good value for money, but they play on Saturdays like Cov - so I’ll always go to see Cov when I’m not playing rugby myself on Saturdays! Wasps play on Sundays so people like myself can go watch (I...

    Friday night games

    Also, it’s to do with the product on offer. Wasps are a premiership team with international quality players - they got to the final last year! No other team in the city can offer a superior product. Plus, there’s some 15+ rugby clubs in the city, so there was market potential in the city.

    Josh Barrett on loan from Reading

    We are trusting our own young players; Bayliss, Maycock, Shipley, DeKE and Ponticelli have all made their 1st team debuts and the latter 3 I mentioned have all had a run in the starting lineup. Then there’s Willis and Haynes starting week in, week out for us. This Barrett lad is A) something...

    Biamou

    I said I agree that he needs to improve the goal scoring aspect of his game. ‘Needs improvement’ and ‘not good enough’ do not mean the same thing. You saying things like Jones’ hattrick ‘papering over the cracks’, is complete nonsense. Recruitment, with the resources we’ve got, over one...
