Ok. Let me break this down very very simply for you. If Sheaf was part of the squad, in the particular game we were talking about being Oxford away I would have started him ahead of Torp. He would have given us greater solidity and even bringing him on around 50 mins probably seals the win. Now...

No idea what COPE means. You may not, but I do, remember the days when anyone and everyone of any value was sold for less than what that value was. Now I understand people crave shiny new things and get upset because endless links to never happening deals don’t emerge but you have to just accept...

Personally I thought it was an outstanding window. I don’t care if King didn’t.

No one would have paid that in January. We had to take the cash. We’re in September. We can recruit again in just over 3 months. It’s a risk that had to be taken.

There’s a balance between recognising the club were obviously trying to do something and sounding off just because there weren’t endless signings. You also don’t seem to value the retention of all of our best players. You can have a good window with zero signings.

I think the whole “beat the press” nonsense was exposed as a ridiculous tactic last season that cost teams woefully poor goals and lots of them. Especially as the net outcome is usually the ball back with one of your centre halves. Dasilva needs to find row Z far more regularly rather than that...

Calm down dear. You’ll do yourself a mischief.

Or Grimes, Eccles, Torp, Rudoni, Allen, Sakamoto, Mason-Clarke, Thomas-Asante, Wright.

It’s not that I’ve seen lots of Brau - just enough of Dasilva.

Brau is a must start now. Just needed a bit of time to settle.

I’d rather have Neville Chamberlain.

I don’t think we’re at the point of selecting replacements yet are we?

There is a massive over simplification of things on here. Basically it comes down to the fact that we’ve got to trust King and his team. They have demonstrated in numerous ways that the good of the club is what they work towards. Let them get on with it.

Yes, option to buy is the key. Means we are happy for him to go. He had something about him. Wouldn’t be at all surprised if he did well in time. But I don’t think it will be with us.

Think he’s got back on his managerial feet here. Don’t see him leaving imminently. King is backing him, the squad is improving from the summer and there is a feel good factor at the minute with the stadium.

I’m not surprised at this at all. It measures what he is good at. But we’re 4 games in. He’s scored some good goals which he has the technique to do. But he still goes missing in games, especially late on. His overall contribution in his position needs to be all over the pitch for 90 minutes.

Rosario was great in that midfield role which no one really expected. Another who switched well was Phil Babb who came as a full back but turned into a really good centre back.

Crikey, there is some tactical nonsense weaved in with ridiculous expectation here. We’re now meant to have a squad that has 3 first teamers for every position and that has to be expanded to accomodate midfield nuances as well. It’s ridiculous. We have 6 players capable of starting in midfield...

Ah yes. Media outlets. Famed for accuracy and reliability.

You don’t even go to games. What would you know.
