As some have said - Southgate is a really decent bloke, and a perfect front man for the FA, but - what has he achieved in management. He has at his disposal a fabulous array of players, yet - particularly tactics wise - can't get a tune out of the proverbial fiddle.

Not really - we all know the constraints MR has to work with. Presumably he will have to work to a budget part of which will be based on estimated average attendances. If we had sold 8,000 STs, then the budget may have been based on 17k. Having sold in excess of 11k, the budget may be based on...

He's on the crest of a wave, and no doubt will have suitors. However, the club hold the advantage of having him tied down for 2 years, so unless anybody comes along with silly money (15m plus) that enables us to strengthen , then we can tell them to do one. i don't want him to be sold, but it...

If that's the case, good luck to him. I've said elsewhere, decent player, but I think he has a slight lack of pace that has not helped him on the injury front. Think we may have dodged a bullet there.

Yeah - translated vaguely as 'I don't know where I'll be, but for now I'm at Coventry' Nothing really in it.

The season has not started yet Have a look at this and worry yourself not https://www.skysports.com/football/news/11688/12631265/transfer-news-summer-transfer-window-2022-championship-ins-and-outs

Yep - they really didn't rate him.

Ummmm, it's June 14th - has the window closed early, or did I miss something ?

I am 50/50 about JCS. He has quality, but he looked likely to break down on a regular basis too, and we can't afford to spend money and someone with a known history of that. Would have liked him, but not too downhearted because of stated reservations.

He was roundly criticised for most of last season by Sunderland fans - they really didn't rate him.

Think that was what he was saying !

We really do need to keep hold of Vik next season. Sweden have not qualified for the World Cup (so will get a rest, where others don't). His confidence is sky high, so I can see him having a great season next season, and his value will only go in one direction. Let's have him for another season...

The boys kept that quiet

A young lad from my sons school in Stratford has just signed for Forest Green, Zach McKenzie. Don't know what he's like, but he is an all round athlete (think he may be a GB triple jumper). Saw him play rugby when he was younger, and he was seriously rapid. Will watch out for him - hope he's not...

Forest Green (Nailsworth?) is the same part of the world as Bristol, so maybe location came into it ?

My theory is they are grooming Mason Mount for the future England managers job. War Prowse did take a good corner in the first half though. Now we we've got Phillips back to exhilarate us.

Shippers is on holiday though.

Mount - not scored in last 17 England games. Ward Prowse - took one good corner, half an hour in.
