If we’d have kept to the “common sense model” (and we can brand it however we like, Brentford or Brighton but just common sense: Buy young players with proven potential at either the league below or fringe prem or cheaper euro leagues for up to £2m Have a couple of older heads in midfield and...

This is where a bit of coaching / common sense comes in: If the ref has given a pen to the other side, particularly a soft one then he’s more likely to award you one of you go down in the box “to level things up”

We’re 20th. Josh is improving all the time but of the midfielders we’ve had in the champ this time round he’s average at best. Not saying he’s rubbish just we need top level midfielders to progress. One day he may be but not yet.

Eccles is still developing and did well off the bench.

Michael Doyle, 300 ish Champ games, capped at international level was nowhere near the level of Josh Eccles. You funny.

It’s not obviously all it takes. We’ve lost 4 on the trot and something needs to change.

I’ve alluded that I would play Lati in midfield alongside Sheaf or Eccles in the holding role. We need some steel in the middle and Sheaf is good at intercepting but we do lack a tough tackling guy in the middle right now. My thoughts are that in this way we can allow the WBS more cover and...

He’s been playing very poorly - unsure what system suits him but we haven’t been playing to his strengths; which there must be else he wouldn’t have had whatever success in Turkey or made the USA team. For £8m our recruitment team should have done a thorough job to make sure he’d fit, both in...

I recollect differently and thought he was on his toes and quick to react, Thomas is a lot more physical so maybe I’m deceived. Either way, most teams only play one big physical player up front and a Fadz type player is often needed for that duel. Doyle and McNally seemed more adept with the...

Fadz does well with quick “kids” along side him who have faster reaction times and do as they are told. Fadz aided by Doyle last year was constantly guiding him and Doyle had the pace to cover. Thomas is bit more of a bruiser, slow to jockey and cannot turn as quick and is probably a bit less...

We’ve no spirit and they need to get a grip on that. The midfield needs a leader and Wright needs to go out on loan for 6 months to recoup some wages and rebuild his reputation. I can’t see us going up this year but I think we’ve enough to stay in the division. I can’t see anyone wanting...

Wilson 5 Flapped. Looked nervous and clearly lacking his previous bravado. Needs to pull himself together, if the goalkeeper lacks confidence then fear spreads. Thomas 5 No finesse and out of position too much. Fadz 5 Silly pen to give away. His pace is slowing but his experience and...

Great but let’s be honest, any of us could have scored that.

Can we send Wright back to Turkey on loan ? He’s looking totally bereft of any clue.

Haji Wright looks shocking to be fair.

Read paragraph 3 again. The stadium might end up with no football team and just a plot of land in an industrial estate in a medium sized town at this rate (which ironically would be a perfect place for a Frasers distribution centre). I don’t think the greedy bugger would to pull a stunt like...

On the subject of buying stadiums Ashley could do worse than buying Liberty Way. It’s a shame what’s happened to them over the years. (I know there’s probably no sound business reason for this, just feel sorry for them) Or Doug does. Play the u21 and League Cup games there. Could even buy...

I still think Frasers owning the CBS and Mike owning Reading is a bit too close to breaching ownership rules. However the shareholding and company is set up, it still looks like Mike could call the shots if required. Doug should ring him: “Mike, you’re going to run into hurdles by owning...

He’s as mad a cheese that fella.

The only manager you’d want if you want to get promoted (maybe just a bit too old now) is Warnock. We’ve had some bad results and made some silly decisions but I’m sure he’ll get it right. The recruitment team needs sacking. Could have brought a stadium for what Wright Kitching and Simms...
