If he doesn't pick this side, it will be the final confirmation that I know nothing about football

Probably the best bit of news of all. We have been painfully slow

I liked Giles (what little we saw of him) but he does not fit four at the back at all. He has been messed around, so I hope he does well at Boro, where I think Carrick is a younger version of MR

I agree as well. Wilson has much less time left in his career and deserves a bit of 1st team football before he retires so I would wish him well and hope he finds a good club. I suspect the problem will be (for both) wages as they may be in L1. That was why Moore stuck it out.

I though Gary mac played in Championship, or is my memory failing?

The assumption has to be, given the cash involved, that our best eleven includes Saka, Haji and EMC. But I am buggered if I can see how. But to have one of your most expensive players, whichever one it may be, purely for injury cover or as an impact sub is not a ploy that is workable with...

Tommy Hutch.....and Gibbo

The trouble with loans is that it requires another club to want to take your player on. It takes two to tango - unlike buying a player when its down to money talking. Each summer this community wants to loan out half a dozen players, but we are lucky to get one or two utilized that way...

He has to go. He clearly does not want to be here, but play at a higher level. You need the squad to be 100% committed. We only play one in the pocket so to have Callum and Rudoni means a highly valued player on the bench. If he does not go, make it obvious he is not part of plans, somebody...

Eccles and one of only EMC & Wright. A lot of talent sitting on the bench. Doubt if we will have that luxury

Two holding midfielders who would normally be expected to be in the first team seems unlikely, so the assumption has to be that Sheaf is off. In which case we should be making a profit, and hopefully an upgrade

100% correct. Subjective assessments by partial humans can be wildly variable. Just look at the judgements on here in the Player Ratings thread after each match. You guys watch a lot of football but opinions are all over the shop.

we need leaders on the pitch. About three of them - Sheaf assuming he stays is one but not sure about our central defenders. No Kyle McF yet. Leaders tend to be experienced but have to have a close relationship with the manager.

Absolutely. Knows that in a highly unstable profession, he has, at age 51, a well paid job for life, working with a senior colleague he likes and a bunch of players he has I assume personally selected. There are two possible caveats to this. 1. As long as King does not start appointing extra...

Why are people so certain Bidwell will go? I must have missed that email.

...interesting how for many Tavares has forced his way into the reckoning for the starting line up

We have been through this on other threads. ITK people say there is no cash for big spending. Last year we used the Big Vik money for a major overhaul (only 2 in the Sunday team survived from Luton). You can't do that every year. If Sheaf goes he will need replacing but altho Collins has his...

injuries

I wasn't there because I was in hospital, so view it in the cold light of day more than those who had the rollercoaster of yesterday in the flesh. When I went into the MRI we were three down (the assistant waved three fingers at me), when I came out we were all square. but I had no relish for...
