We’ve got a few things going for us: - feel good factor at the club (despite the RICOH business) - a lot of players will feel fresher after the long lay off - we’ve got a settled team and system We definitely need to improve in some areas, and I can’t imagine our business is completed yet. I...

All of my northern friends call us southerners, the southerners think anything north of Watford is ‘The North’. We’re definitely in the middle. For the sake of choosing for cup competition, we’re technically in the north.

Cyrus Christie, Juke, and Cranie for me. Would’ve also taken Keogh had it not been for his injury. The rest of that team is pretty shocking tbh. Joe Murphy was good at the time. Bigi was a spark at the time, but his career nosedived after he left us (both times).

Shame it didn’t come together for JP a with us. Unlucky with injuries and a poor loan move last season. Ultimately, a move makes sense for all parties involved. Personally, I do think he could become a really good L1 striker if he develops well. This move is important for him and I wish him...

In a gif...

Bourneouth have a massive hole to fill. Just in transfer fees, they have ~£80m owed time other clubs and around ~£5m owed to them. Whilst they have the parachute payments, they’re missing out on golden hen that is Premiership TV money. That’s pretty huge for them and they need to manage their...

Competing in what sense though? Whilst we're in the same league, we're not going to be competing with them for league position... The goal for us is to establish ourselves as a Championship team and build year-on-year and the budget will grow alongside that (hopefully).

Our transfer window certainly isn’t over yet, and we’ll bring more players in. Yesterday never changed that. Preseason is all about match fitness and trying new things out with personnel, formation and so on. Didn’t watch the game, so won’t pass comment on that. But, I’m not overly concerned...

We would get 10-15% of Ritchie and Gayle too. So, probably close to an arm from each player.

Weren’t we ‘linked’ with him last year?

Bearing in mind he wasn’t fully conditioned for his last return, he looked good in L1 too I thought. This doesn’t mean he’s going to do bits in the Championship, but it certainly suggests the club shouldn’t give up on him!

Mowbray certainly has a lot to answer for, the recruitment that preseason was really poor and with no obvious strategy. Russel Slade won % speaks for itself - terrible. Relegation was pretty much a certainty when Robins came back and he had no transfer window to try and reverse our fortunes. My...

I remember this moment and the result reasonably well. It was elbow!

The emotional attachment for Wasps just isn’t there. Even if it was, a 32.5k seater stadium is too big for a rugby club. My little brother supports Wasps (academy and all that), so I’ve had 3 free tickets to take him this season. Had it not been for the business with CCFC-Wasps, I’d be happy to...

Mine joined the same queue in 1994. I’ll have to wait a whole year after you when he does get back! *sigh*

It wasn’t obvious at the time they’d become available. We’ve tried to permanently sign pretty much any decent loanee we’ve had in recent years. Bright, McGoldrick, O’Hare, Walsh, Giles (well, re-signed on loan). You get the jist. Had we not got promoted, we wouldn’t even be in with a shout of...

Signed O’Hare and Walsh as loanees last season. Pretty big signings. I like that we don’t rely on the loan market as much as we did in the past. The loan market should be used to supplement what you have as opposed to plugging a positional need for one year. Loanees will be some of the last...

You’d have to be very pissed to consider Dabo a CM.

Well, at least having someone who stands as an independent could raise these issues and get ‘air time’ (be in CET, radio or even social media) to talk about platforms and the situation as a whole. I’m not saying it’s a winnable fight, but this tactic eventually worked out for Charlton.

Agree on a national basis. When it comes to elections with lower turnouts, in the high-teens to high-twenties in percentage... An independent with votes could sway the election outcome. Ultimately, the goal would be to make sitting councillors worry that a potential independent running could...
