So has Jamie Allen … we still Upgraded him

He let Ballard ( his man ) have a free header at goal in the last minute …it proved fatal.

He was a liability in his first season, didn’t really play until Xmas this season and had a solid second half to the season until his fatal error in the last minute of the semi. It’s hardly the stuff of dreams is it.

Oh let’s be fair Kitching has so far under performed for the fee we paid. He certainly improved under Frank but over 2 seasons he’s been disappointing. That said it should have no impact on our assessment of any future player from Barnsley.

Was he injured last season ? He didn’t feature much after Xmas and they played a central midfielder at right back for the run in.

Moore didn’t have a fantastic season … he was OK. Given his wages and loan fee our fans would have gone ballistic with his relatively modest contribution.

I enjoyed part 2 much more than part 1. Adi very skilled at only saying what he planned to say in the first place but seemed a genuine football guy.

And we tried to sign Schlupp who is 32 …. Not sure how old Rob Holding is.

A very odd take on MVE and the latter part of Da Silvas season.

I think naturally being comfortable with the ball at your feet is a requirement for a modern Defender who needs to be able to play out from the back. When you put a left footer on the right side you start to undermine your ability to play out to the full backs as they always look to play...

Don’t come on here with logical answers like that …. Fans want work rate and aggression combined with slow turning circles and errant passing …

It’s not madness it’s called business

It is a disaster. You don’t fund an academy for them to go on a free to another lower club. You fund it to create a pipeline of talent into your first team, some of which you keep some you sell for a fee.

But they have £30m to try and sign Delap 🤔

WBA in financial difficulty. New owner has not put the money in promised. High earners are being encouraged to leave the club. Palmer sold in January against managers wishes.

The system is broken. Academies always worked on the basis that if you found 1 or 2 players that per group who became pro you had done well. Then every couple of years you produce 1 that makes your first team squad, and then every 5 years you find an absolute banger who plays for the first team...

Of course the logical thing to do would be to base your pricing on demand … ie lots of demand now so don’t reduce and if demand reduces then reduce pricing … the problem is that you need young fabs already hooked if you want them to turn up in the darker days …. my sons rarely miss matches now...

Having the right pricing for kids is important to me not at a personal level but for the future of the support base. I would have discounted season tickets with a cap on the total number available for non adult, and similar for a match day. Many clubs have waiting lists for season tickets and...

And there are Cov fans on both sides you plumb
