    What needs to happen in Jan window

    £2m should get you a decent keeper, surely? £600k is fuck all these days. He wasn’t even Barnsley’s first choice keeper FFS.

    Is this the queue to kick Adge for his terrible views on the academy?

    Jay DaSilva Signs!

    Been a big fan since he signed but last two he’s been absolutely shocking. Fuck knows what’s happened but he needs a break and going to a four with Bidwell is probably a good time to do it.

    What needs to happen in Jan window

    Fantasy football magical world where I can wave a wand and players disappear: Out: All the GKs, Kelly, O’Hare (cash in), Tavares (waste of wages), Fadz (coaching and last resort, not let go) In: 2 x GK, 2 x CM, AM, ST More realistic: Moore and O’Hare out, 1 GK and the rest in. GK - I fail to...

    Well firstly we have no one who can deliver a final ball and secondly we have no one who attacks the ball in the box and thirdly we’ve managed to sign two six foot three players who can’t head it.

    Go on then, how does this end?

    That was his first sort of run. And all bar two he came off with twenty mins to go, once despite being on a hatrick. He’s played the least minutes of the three.

    Go on then, how does this end?

    You’ve got to assume they wanted more than Kitching. Though from what I’ve seen so far so would I.

    International break holiday ?

    Still crossing it to our forwards though :P Genuine Q, how do we practice set pieces with everyone back? Do we do it against the youth team? You can’t really do a defence against attack drill surely?

    Go on then, how does this end?

    It clicks. I’ve seen enough to think that and I think one or two signings in Jan even if it hasn’t clicked by then would make a huge difference. We’re 15 games in and don’t know our best formation let alone our best XI. Second half yesterday had the feel of one of those watershed moments where...

    International break holiday ?

    Yeah there’s a line here. More time together should help bonding and cohesion. More practice obviously helps set pieces. Every set piece taker in history has a story of them staying back practicing. But equally, I’d expect Robins to be planning a training routine that is finely honed to players...

    Or maybe Bidwell, who has never had a particular number, felt the lad with “27” tattooed on him probably wanted it more.

    Excel (Microsoft)

    Got to say, if you’re doing stuff across multiple workbooks at this point you’ve probably outgrown Excel and should look at a proper data management system like a database or a SharePoint system. Next best would be Google Sheets as it’s far more programmable and linkable. If you insist on...

    Things that annoy you

    If they want to fill time I’d watch actual genuine tactical knowledge of the teams. I think there’s a real gap for an Uber geeky football show that goes into proper tactical detail.

    It’s not just that, its the number of attacking options players had ahead of them meant it was much easier to pick a forward pass. Just need to find a back four in our ten million quid of spending and IMO sign a proper keeper in Jan.

    Doesn’t matter how many CBs you have if they defend like schoolboys.

    433 is the tactics. Stick with a team for a few games and see how it goes.

    Well the midfield is full of them but we may as well have a skittle who can pass the ball.

    I just can’t with the final balls from midfield today. The rest of his game sure, but watching O’Hare and Allen give it away on the edge of the box constantly… When O’Hare is fit he starts. But he’s clearly not.
