    The government themselves recommend school children get the flu vaccine because they’re spreaders due to bad hygiene and symptom management.

    yeah let’s go 442 with no CBS who can manage in a two, no full backs, no wingers, and no target man.

    At this point in Championship Manager I’m throwing on the 16 year old regen in the hopes he’s the next Rooney. Honestly try anything it’s better than bashing out head against the wall. At least Kasta looks like a Championship player.

    If you’re going to set up with full backs as we seemed to then you’ve got to go back four and add an attacking midfielder or striker. If you’re not setting up like that then you need to have a defensive base solid enough to allow them to get forward. Have all the fucking strikers you want but...

    Fucking depressing this. And harsh on those young players to send them out to die each week. So far off the required level.

    Experience needed?

    I won’t. Between now and then you’d expect the following back: Rose (fully fit), Dabo, Dacosta, Hamer (unsuspended) Hilßner (fully fit), Jobello (fully fit), Walker, Bapaga (fully fit). Arguably half a first team there.

    I don’t think so TBH. Again I know nothing other than what you hear on the grapevine but I get the impression we would be able to go back on similar terms to before or better. Both sides have always said it’s not commercial terms that’s the issue but other factors (ownership or the legals...

    This was Starmers entire point. None of the Tiers actually reduce the spread so you just go to Tier 3 and never come out. Frankly they should put some general rules about hands face space and WFH/avoid mass transit, etc. Then have proper local lockdowns with financial support. Pissing around in...

    I think the bigger point is Wasps don’t want to sell half their share TBH. I get the impression there would be a deal to be done if they did, as you say it would surely be less than a new ground if priced fairly. And as I say I did hear a rumour that Sisu were asking for part ownership in...

    His issue was discovered just after the Peterborough pre season game, it had been effecting his ability to get up to fitness up until that point.

    This is exactly my worry. Look at that wages vs revenue graph from a few years ago. Virtually everyone was over 100%. I worry that these days the Championship is a money pit. It’s a real shit sandwich cos I think it’s our natural level in terms of “club size”, but I wouldn’t want us to go for...

    It would. Do you know what his issue was and what the recommended rehabilitation strategy is? Cos I don’t. What I do know is that generally we’ve used the U23s for fitness and kids and not as a bomb squad. We know Hilßner has missed most of pre season, had to recover from a breathing issue...

    Oh yeah it’s all relative. I just didn’t think we’d see it even on this scale here. British exceptionalism cuts both ways I guess.

    Pop quiz: which is more likely to affect your athletic fitness and therefore require more time to recover: a) a shoulder injury after a full preseason b) a breathing issue discovered during preseason He may or may not make it, but you can’t judge yet.
