I suspect James was a mix of someone coming up and us wanting a bit of experience in with Kelly out. Him and McCallum are the only real strange signings, and both seemed to be because they came up rather than because we scouted them.

How the hell can you justify 2/10 for Reid??

I doubt it after Robins has put out an interview explicitly denying he sees him as a WB. If Hamer was going to play RWB he’d have done it already. Giles won’t start, he was rotated in vs QPR to rest their usual LWB.

I would just like to reiterate that the best investment advice is probably to do the opposite of what I recommend. Which now I’ve recommended that presents quite the paradox. 🧐

Pretty good. O’Hare was one hell of a signing, Walker has done OK considering, Sheaf perhaps hasn’t stepped us as we’d have wished but has looked promising for the money, and Hamer on first half of the season form is a cracking find. £1.3m may be a lot for us, but it’s peanuts in this league...

If I were a neutral I’d want to see Dacosta vs Giles, but I doubt either will start tomorrow. I’d keep Eccles there, he did well against Bournemouth and is handy going forward.

Transaction speed mostly stop it being used seriously, also size of blockchain and energy needed to mine.

Bitcoin has too many fundamental flaws to ever be used as currency really. It’s a value store right now, I can’t see it ever going beyond that. Etherium I think it’s better designed for actual use.

Average wage at that level is £40-50k isn’t it? Hardly life changing.

Lose tomorrow and for the first time I’ll expect relegation. And we will deserve it.

Just like to say I was doubting O’Hare before it was cool, also before he did something like 5 assists in 7 matches.

Going off this, which on second reading isn’t clear TBH “ Asked if it’s been a frustrating time for the Sweden international, the City boss said: “Yes, and I feel for him. “He spent the first half of the season at Swansea and didn’t play too many games and that catches up with you a little...

Robins has said Walker and Györkeres only became match fit a few games back. Both had COVID and we don’t know how it’s affected them. It’s clear he rates Walker more highly at least considering he chased him for two years then made him the marquee signing. I think the bigger problem has been...

Preach. Having this exact issue now. Need to hire people in, we keep getting absolute garbage apply because our pay and conditions are awful, but they’re insistent “there’s lots of good talent around now, people are glad for a job so we can pick something up cheap” well where the hell are they...

Biamou’s played more (~50% more minutes than Godden but not quite 50% more xG) and I’d argue Walker has played on his own a lot when it really doesn’t suit him (he’s only a few games behind Biamou in playing time).

You can only score if you get the ball in dangerous areas. Pens are high xG, so take them out and the chances Walker and Godden score must be even more difficult. Biamou scores because he’s had better chances to score. Put Walker or Godden in those same positions and they’d both have scored...

Yep, always good when you’ve just taken over as an academy sponsor and collected your free land and want to squeeze a bit more out of your investment.

Which makes their goals vs xG stats even more impressive.

So many employers don’t see the value in their own staff. It’s so hard for them to see hidden costs around hiring and onboarding and knowledge retention.

You joke but I’ve seen schools cut budgets by sacking anyone experienced and getting in a metric fuck ton of NQTs and Teach Firsts. Happens all over.
