Categorically that won't be the idea at all. The earliest he'll start getting game time will be in the U23s at some point in October I'd imagine. Hopefully nearer the start than the end.

Even if he was fit I doubt he'd have many takers in the summer window in all honesty. Not after just coming back from an ACL injury. Hypothetically, if any offers did come in, I'd imagine they'd be nominal in comparison to what was supposedly offered by Burnley just before he tore his hamstring...

Hmm. I wouldn't get overly excited. That'll likely constitute of light agility/strength training which is pretty commonplace after month five of rehabilitation following an ACL injury. Recovery dependant, it's likely he still won't see him back on the pitch until around October time. It's...

I think we can. SISU had zero interest or capability for that matter to bridge the gap this season. The forced Dom Hyam sale is physical proof of that. Where else did you envisage the money coming from in order to see the club through until the end of the season if not from further sales?

Our defence is also reliant on Sheaf, Eccles and Hamer to help to break down play. With exception of the brief 15-20 minute spell in the second half our midfield was totally dominated and bypassed.

Reading fans must be worried. Their form is actually worse than Huddersfield's and Wigan's and their pending 6 point deduction, if it indeed comes to fruition, will put them within a point of 22nd. They've also got to play both Huddersfield and Wigan as well as Preston, us, Burnley and Luton.

I'd imagine most are mortgaged to the hilt which he'll be suffering from due to heightened interest rates and the new EPC legislation set to come in will come at a significant cost. An incoming Labour government will also be very bad for business for him. But yes provisionally he's done well.

They definitely do. Around 40% of footballers go bankrupt after retiring. The stats for American athletes are far worse. I think they're around the 80% mark.

Even those within CCFC seem to think he wants the club. There's concern over what Ashley is willing to do to get it though. The rent issue in particular is something that's especially causing alarm in the short term. The word 'unsustainable' has been relayed to me a few times.

Neither of which he's particularly competent at. Certainly not at this level anyway. I strongly suspect Doug King will be looking to bring in a new face in the summer. Boddy isn't his man, he's SISUs. Equally, he has a lower league mentality and just isn't a right fit for where we want to be...

I doubt he'll be here beyond the summer.

Wilson [New GK] [New RWB x2] McFadzean, Rose (both will probably be offered new deals) [New CB X3] Bidwell [New LWB] Allen, Sheaf, Eccles [New CM/CDM] O'Hare (not available until September/October), Palmer [New CAM] Godden, Tavares (likely loaned out) [New ST X2] Out/sold: Moore Dabo Dacosta...

It's not really a case of wait and see. Anyone with half a brain can figure out they'll have to be sold in the summer. How else are the club financing the aforementioned? No, we'll have a semblance of a squad but that's not really relevant to the point I'm making.

Moore quite clearly will be moved on in the next window. It's probably best for both parties. Gyokeres and Hamer will have to be sold. Neither are going to sign new contracts and the rebuild in the summer is going to have to be financed somehow as will covering the club's losses and paying back...

Hopefully won't command significant wages and he's put on a short term contract. His injury issues are pretty alarming. Assuming his hamstrings don't rupture during his 'First Words' interview, it at least gives us another option in the forward area.

No, he deserves every respect as his performances in the L1 season were outstanding and he was reasonable in the first season back in the Championship. It's a shame really as without the injuries I think he would've adapted well to the Championship but for whatever reason his body just isn't...

With respect FP, one swallow doesn't make a summer. As much as I'm a fan of Dabo he's been woefully inconsistent for a while now. His fitness is becoming a pretty significant issue as well. He's been a great servant but if the club is to move forward he needs to be let go in the summer.

He sometimes shouts. But ultimately he isn't anywhere near good enough or experienced enough, and perhaps most importantly doesn't have the brain to be capable of such a task.

Yeah I would've mentioned O'Hare as he's also a character but obviously he's out for the foreseeable. Bidwell is probably the only one in the team currently that is constructively vocal. I wouldn't really count Wilson to be honest as he's just gobby.

Goes to show we really lack leadership on the field. Wilson isn't really all that experienced for his age although he's a character, Kelly and Godden are consistently out of the side, Dabo the same, Hilssner isn't even worth discussing, Rose just isn't a leader and I wouldn't exactly call Allen...
