Thank you - that’s really really helpful!

Just saw - shame if true. But replace him with another strong signing (which I’d back us to do) and it’s still a promotion chasing squad.

If true, he can go onto the list of football playing tossers.

GK MVE Thomas Kitching/Binks Bidwell/LB Sheaf Stamenic Sakamoto COH Wright Simms Collins Bidwell / JDS / Lati Burroughs / Binks Torp Eccles RBR EMC Palmer / 10 Striker Say what you want, moan about things, but that is a promotion challenging side.

Yea, the decision to only bring one recognised and injured (!) LB was bizarre at the time and seems even stranger now. I guess the plan is to limp through the group stages with a lopsided defence and Shaw be fit for the knock outs. Albeit you’d hope he’s fit enough to play the last group game...

Despite a pretty poor overall performance, silver lining; Bowen has looked good in his cameo so far.

Think I’m watching a different game, I don’t think we’ve been that impressive. So many anonymous performances. And I’m an optimist re England.

I would prefer the inexperience of Mainoo or Wharton in there, actual midfielders.

Those wfrequent the off Topic stuff might know I’m doing a charity running challenge, as such I’m trying to be semi healthy so not had a beer so far this month. Chose tonight as a “treat” night so I’m a few beers down. Really hope, and believe, it’s worth it. I get the TAA selection in a way...

Been playing catch up over the last few months, some highlights; Stranger Things - I held off for years, as I tried a while ago, my partner didn’t like it after about 10 minutes and I never went back to it. So glad I finally did, incredible show and I loved the longer running times. Top Boy -...

I’ve been looking at a few Snowden related races; https://findarace.com/events/snowdonia-race-festival https://www.xterraplanet.com/event/xterra-snowdonia-trail-marathon Obviously not the same audience as yours, as they are open for the more recreational runner (like me) as opposed to the...

I found out this week I’ve got a place at the Berlin Marathon in September, which I’m massively pleased about. Although perhaps not the running part quite as much! I ran a random 10k I found in a village called Rothley the week before last and achieved a PB in pretty awful conditions, then beat...

Scotland are offering zero offensively, yet still leaving so much space defensively.

Was quite looking forward to the game, I thought Scotland would put up a fight and make it competitive, but this is going to be a battering. What a boring first game.

Binks would be a brilliant singing. He’s comfortable on the ball and a confident player. Defensively he’s solid enough and that will improve with more game time and experience in the Championship. Bags of potential. He also seems to have his head screwed on, has an affinity for the club and is...

JDS does have a role to play next season. For possession based games where we expect to dominate the ball, he’ll be useful. We know he’s poor defensively, as is his positioning, but he’s technically very good on the ball. He can play a part next season.

Eccles is definitely improving and his developmental last season was the most significant, there was a clear step up in his play. He probably has more to his all round game than Sheaf (for example he’s happy to make forward runs) but he isn’t as good as Sheaf on the ball or technically in my...

I’m a sucker for players who can pick a pass and are technically sound. That’s exactly what Torp is. He will have a big, big season this year. Sheaf Torp Stamenic Thats a ball playing midfield (albeit harsh on Eccles).

I really liked the look of Burroughs in the games he played the season before last. He was quick, confident on the ball and good physically too. The latter is quite different for a full back. I would be more than happy with him as back up RB next year. I think there is definite potential there.

I don’t watch, or have much interest in non-Euro/WC England games, but I honestly don’t understand how people can’t get excited for big tournaments like the Euros. The feeling of non-football fans, fans of different clubs and the whole nation getting swept up in football fever (yes it’s cliche...
