Well not if he hasn't trained on a few days? When most of the match preperation would have been done. Robins has said that he will pick the team that have trained the most leading up to the match basically.

4 strikers on the bench.... Would have thought da Costa would have made the bench for this one at least? Maybe even Pask and Drysdale unless they have covid, I know they are surplus to requirements but they are aren't jobello/Hilsner and still have squad numbers.

This argument really frustrates me. The reality is we don't want our best assets stagnating and not increasing in value. Yes of course if he was the complete player we wouldn't be able to keep hold of him, but our ' business model' isn't built around keeping players, it's built around them...

It is weirdly always cheaper at launch or before. You can usually get it for £15-20 from smaller league or non-league clubs when it releases. But then it goes up to its RRP or just below. Always found it strange.

TBf I'm reading it as he means no outgoings hopefully in terms of players we want. In his previous interview he has already said that he wants to move some players on that need game time. As you say it would be disappointing if they didn't try and move on the likes of Jobello, but I doubt that...

I think the Gyo ankle injury is being massively overinflated. He had a purple patch of form followed by a very poor run of form. It probably is just that simple. Think it's being far too generous to suggest it's a carry over of an injury from about 10/12 weeks ago. Other than the initial couple...

Our league position suggests otherwise.

That's my point. It's telling that the 'final' 2 were the cheap options the other 3 of the shortlisted 5 were, Paul Clement, Paul cook and Woodgate who would have expected more.

Seems like they have gone for the cheap appointment. Only won 1 of his 4 in charge so far. Apparently it was between him and coppinger in the end. Hope he does well but get the feeling it won't end well.

Interesting, biggest thing I would say against it is are there ever really more than 3 moments in a match that each team would want to appeal? Can't imagine you would often have 3+ if just for goals, red cards, pens is the only thing. But it's got its merits too for sure.

Sorry, just to clarify is that just for the application of VAR? As in it would only be used if a team used one of the reviews?

Tbf it's very easy to say and much harder to do as there is far too much subjectivety. It's always going to be the hardest thing in football to get right. Like for me, I've done refereeing and I didn't think Southampton's penalty was a penalty yesterday. The guy has gone shoulder to shoulder...

Was Kelly not a new two year deal at the end of last season?

Good shout! Had forgot he even existed. Think you are right from memory.

I have just treated it as a motorway. Seems common sense driving if you don't know the area well. Move over if you can if not continue with your speed and the person merging will adjust theirs.

Tbf I never actually knew that! Admittedly I never drive in places with ring roads. I only ever get trains into city centres (including cov) so I'm probably that dickhead who just sits in the left lane, on the odd occasion I have been on it.

My thinking would be that the budget isn't going to increase in any significant way come summer (if we stay in the championship.) In which case you are probably only looking at relatively small turnover of staff and I think most people expect at least 2 new CB's, a Lwb and an attacking...

Only a 5th of tests are checked for what variant it is. So whilst only 16k or whatever the number was are the official confirmed cases of Omicron, Whitty and co have already said it is the dominant strain. So you'd expect it to account for around 4/5th's of cases ISH maybe more at the moment.

I agree with you. But weren't most of those initial signings? Rather than extensions. With the exception of Shipley of course who I think everyone hoped would kick on but really hasn't.
