The future: By the season end we had 19 active players. The 8 best were Hyam 6.8 contract / staying Kelly 6.7 contract / staying Willis 6.7 out of contract / leaving Davies 6.6 leaving Burge 6.2 out of contract / leaving Sterling 6.2 loan/leaving Bright 6.2...

I have collated 6,261 individual player ratings on this forum from 46 league game with 28 players starting at least 1 game. The idea was to get at “the wisdom of the crowd” but just as often it shows the “inherent bias of the crowd” – predilection for centre halves, unappreciative of our top...

£500k was money for old rope for Stevenson Bayliss is not Maddison

really good point. facts eh, who needs 'em

Fed up with typing this. The cash is more use to us than Bayliss as a player. For heaven's sake his actual performances have been underwhelming, good prospect though he is. We need players of more use to us in our current position in the pecking order. Bayliss is a luxury.

You will not get the best out of Bayliss in League 1. I feared we had passed peak-Bayliss, so if we got a good enough offer I would take it. He, Westbrooke and Kelly are too similar. We need a midfield thug. There is also the chance that playing at our level will make affect his development, and...

Kelly Bayliss and Westbrooke are all similar

Isn't that Davies?

Chicken Balti becomes player of the year,

no player ratings?

Bob Wesson - 1962-1964

Is that meant ironically. Fluorescent green surely

Agree about Oxford -

Field a strong side but test couple of ideas - Wakefield maybe or Williams again

He has one go at a career. He has to maximize his earnings, just like any professional in any activity. He would be mad to pass up playing for a financially stable club in a higher league. All that loyalty bollox is for deluded fans. I thought he was over-rated anyway. Good but not Maddison...

The answer to the question is "Yes" - end of.

I don't think we can afford Baylis, Kelly and Bright in the same team. It leaves us light on midfield heavyweights. The form of Shipley in the Bayliss slot showed this, and he is not much of a heavyweight. Best midfield in a 4-4-2 is the model of Peter Reid & Glen Hoddle Mexico World Cup 1986...

NO speed on the flanks?

Sterling has missed 10 games
