Im glad of the international breaks this season

With a squad as small as ours we will need them for extra recovery

First proper game of the season for me today, after about 8 weeks of preseason, running, and largely pointless friendlies.

Can't wait.

@Saddlebrains Interesting kings comments re squad depth at diamond lunch.

wouldn’t bet against DA “moving on” before long.

Watching Newport v Bristol.

Standard is obviously so poor in comparison. No pace. No real athleticism. Touch all over the place. Cannot believe we sunk that low and makes you realise what a fantastic standard of football the championship is.

Had conversation with someone from
Club who made throw away comment re DA + kings comments - putting 2+2 together.

but also look at the facts, people who think king is dealing with transfers at macro level are silly, he may get involved structuring big deal etc that’s it.

Austin et al are driving it…….and we are now thin, as per DK words.

Newport Goalkeeper looks likes he’s never played in goal before. Just looked and he’s a seasoned pro at that level. Shite.

They need the time to recover from the exhausting goal celebrations

It sounded a bit like things were close but no agreement reached, that's King's own remit. He can make a comment about the squad that's factual without it being intended to criticise anybody.

Of course, as I said just flippant comment i heard and probably making 2+2 =5.

just sensed from DK comments FL won’t be happy (as we all predict)

Absolutly we tried, we did try for Smallbone or enquire, but again problem everyone forgets with loans especially, is they want game time guaranteed - our first 11 is amongst best in league so that’s going to be tough.

Get out and support grassroots! Whenever cov don't play I will get out and watch a team local to me, it's not the same but always entertaining. 3-3 draw and 2 red cards today in the game I saw.

Took the lad to Cambridge v Oldham for him to tick a ground off..Quality was pretty poor but really enjoyed it. Just under 800 Oldham fans in a crowd of 6.5k, lovely set up, very noisy home and away fans.
