Is it going to take them all week? They can’t spare a few hours at the weekend to actually put these learnings into practice and do the job we’re hoping they can do?

And yet we still have no idea if he should be a lone striker, or partnered with Godden, or partnered with Wright, or out wide…

Does stopping them from refereeing help them improve? That should be the only consideration, not finding suitable “punishment” to satisfy whichever set of fans they upset this week.

We are not buying a fourth senior keeper in January, and no Championship team is going to take Wilson or Moore as part-exchange anyway. Their value is almost nil.

Refereeing in the Championship does take them out of the Premier League spotlight. We don’t like to be reminded that our league’s of a lesser standard, but that’s just reality. Referees need match fitness just like players do - if they’re not performing well, then maybe that needs to happen at...

The problems with the team are systemic and tactical. They could haul them in from holiday and practice corners and finishing from dusk til dawn, but it doesn’t mean you can replicate it during a game, and it’s not going to turn Eccles into Beckham in the space of a week either.

Referees aren’t going to improve by being stopped from reffing altogether.

I don’t think it’s a good idea to try and fix a team that’s already struggling to find its identity by doing another total squad overhaul in January. Bring in one or two difference-makers to add quality in the areas that really need it (CM, AM) and leave any big rebuilds until the summer.

Never understood this mentality - it’s training, not detention. The problems in the team are not decided by adding or skipping a handful of training sessions (whereas not taking the opportunity to rest players at the same time as our opponents will almost certainly pose problems). The idea that...

This prediction was predictably rubbish

Attention seeking?

That’s one way to describe finishing 9th!

The Robins post-match interview makes very little sense to me, but I think that’s because of the bizarre way it’s been transcribed https://www.ccfc.co.uk/news/2023/november/interview-mark-robins-preston-north-end/

Gyokeres, Hamer, McFadzean, £30 million in transfer profits, two promotions…..the list goes on.

It’s a huge waste, no team can accommodate a player who can only operate at 70-80% capacity. We certainly didn’t have a squad big enough to accommodate such a luxury last season and we still don’t.

What mistakes did she make? The fourth official doesn’t decide the amount of stoppage time, do they?

They can’t both be true, because the Robins-Badlan recruitment team was, by any metric, one of the most successful in the Football League. Are you still sticking by the argument that Dean Austin and co are better?

You said multiple times that they were better than the last recruitment team, which bought in Gyokeres/Hamer etc as we rose up the divisions.

While we’re fretting about war memorials, US lawmakers are introducing bills “to expel Palestinians from the United States” http://zinke.house.gov/media/press-releases/zinke-introduces-bill-expel-palestinians-united-states

I remember when Grendel was telling me that this was the guy to listen to on Russia and Ukraine. Seems like they’d get on. https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/uk-england-london-67310954
