Must have lost the plot when signing Todd Kane then?

FML forgotten that.

Interesting that the back is blue and the front is dominated by red. According to the psychology articles above, that’s put fear in opponents facing and composure in our players passing to a player running in space. Probably boll**** but…. I wonder if there’s any merit in putting goalies in...

Robins also hinted at that in his post match interview - so sounds legit.

As an aside, I’m sure I read something years ago about psychology and kit colours and the effects on opponents. Red kits create danger in opponent mindsets and are more likely to win. Blue is “cool under pressure”. Just saying. I never liked us playing in pale yellow. Glad it’s not that...

Not long ago we were grateful that a couple of early season games on sky gave us a few grand of extra income that we might be able to pay a few bills with. Now we are talking about £6m double raids on clubs that were seen as equal or better at the time (Barnsley, play off time) and 7m strikers.

The away kit isn’t the best of the modern time efforts but better than what we had a few years back. Can’t release all your best songs on the first album, hold a few back for the next release. This seems to be the Hummel strategy and I’m sure we will have a few more belters like we’ve had. This...

I think now that the Gus / Vik issues are sorted the Mark and the staff should have a clear idea of budget / strategy. We’ve a first team squad (Wiki) of 23 including Moore, Allen and Cal. The U21’s have only a small number that are anywhere near. With 9 man bench we need a main squad of...

Maybe that means that if they pay the 4m add in then the sell on is 10% of the capital gain (as such)? So, if they win league or he gets 20 goals and they pay the 4m, sell him for 44m, we get 10% of 20m uplift/cap gain?

Sometimes these gambles work (McCallum) sometimes they don’t. To say there was never a chance of it paying off isn’t quite true - you never know. The next stage of our development model should be to expand our u23 / u21 groups with outbound loan opportunities for several youngsters. There...

I guess (back of envelope) as it stands today we are £20m better off inc extra ST’s compared with expected. What did the stadium cost Frasers? Funny old world.

Whether we like it or not, Gus has gone and Vic has gone. £35m in though. (Doesn’t matter if it’s all in now, I guess football finance “factoring” if you like - there’ll be some type of forwarding based on the contract for a fee). Gus will be difficult to replace, we don’t have anyone with...

Makes sense I suppose. Might be a cheap-ish signing addition in any case.

Not sure about that. You may be right - I’m not trying to be conflictuous. My guess is that it’s down to the wording of each contract. Anyone ITK here with any inside intel?

If we get a bid for Bidwell and he goes then McCallum is the natural choice for the squad. JDS looks like he can cover either wing back role and having SM in and around creates options. Plus, if we have a sell on fee, isn’t it better they sell him back to us for say, £1m, than Swansea for...

I like that phrase. I’m sure some kind of “heard more noise from a Tesla” chant could catch on.

I rated him higher with a 6, Godden a 4. So I think he did and gave my thoughts as to why. See how it works?

I think people are giving Sims a higher rating than Godden because they perceived that he played better. I think the majority see it that way. That’s how it works.

Wilson 6 Did ok, couple of good saves and some smart distribution. Conceded 2 so gets a 6. Fadz 8 Plus 1 for goal and marshalling defence. Thomas 8 I thought he did well and has slotted in with the team quickly. Lati. 7 Same as above. We have the makings of a solid back 3. Eccles 7...

Why sims off and Godden left on?
