Maybe they’ve targeted Wright because they thought he could do better here and now. Sell on value is obviously a consideration but I’d say it shouldn’t be the priority.

There’s no way Tavares is on that……and anyway Chris Broad was the better opener.

Swedish messi. Jesus wept.

What a bizarre metric “passes into the final third” is.

Not quite the same proximity with the injury and was a proven PL striker.

Pace is such an asset in todays game and Van Ewijk is very quick. An exciting signing

Don’t think people will be throwing money at O’Hare. ACL injuries aren’t great in terms of attracting interest. It’s harsh but it’s the way it is.

Yes, happily surprised with attendances. Maybe the game itself has grown in terms of popularity and exposure. It’s strange to think we had years and years of what would now be Premier League football and drew in 10-15,000 late seventies early eighties, and all through the eighties to be honest.

I would imagine he would say he wants to stay. He can then compare offer A with B and C and choose. He’s not daft enough to say he wants out - why would he.

Maybe, it’s all about opinions.

So it’s down to his analysts then? Not that wherever he’s been he’s had the licence to hoover up talent without having to consider affordability?

Maybe we tried? He may have been aware of the interest from other clubs. You just never know. One thing I do know - we ought to get the name of Barnsley’s head scout!

In your opinion. The game is now analysed in minute detail which means pundits etc have to find things to say. These myths creep in. But 99% of it is just what you might call good play. Pass, find space, receive and repeat. Two of the most successful sides ever had systems simply built on that...

Of course you have to have a system. My point is it’s out of control. Pivots, false nines, presses etc etc. It’s just good, intelligent technical play dressed up in endless nonsense.

Robins looked as happy with that display on Friday as I’ve seen him this season. I think he’ll go with the same starting 11. Godden maybe comes back onto the bench - can’t see him changing much more.

100%. The sizes and variations of back room staff is ridiculous.

Don’t believe the hype. It’s a simple game.

You need a system. But by and large other factors play a larger part. Form, momentum, confidence. Loads of debate as to whether we’re playing 4511, 4412 etc etc. Back four or five is about the extent that matters.

Why do the teams with the best players win more often?

Kitching looks a good player to me. Pace, distribution and most importantly defends very well. He’s clearly better in a back four which allows him to just defend everything rather than wondering where he should be.
