The one word that would describe our start to the season. Such a clear and painful lack of aggression to our play which means we’re affording the opposition far too much space. I also haven’t noticed a coherent press in any of our games yet. I still believe we have the talent in the squad to be...

How much recovery time would a top level cricketer need between T20 matches?

We on about the chap who was selling curries during lockdown? Lamb Tikka Westbrooke Bhuna

Are we sure we need the post-match road closures?

The new Persil advert, where the girl has her shirt signed by Saka. Parents wash it and the ink comes out (yeah, I’ll believe that when I see it) and dad has the temerity to say “we’ll fix it”. Then next clip is the girl getting it signed again. She’s had to go and sort it herself. Dad should be...

Do grown men not find that embarrassing?

That is years old FYI.

Finally got round to building the raised beds I’d been planning to build for the last 4-5 years. Dual-height, so got some at a foot and some at 2 foot. Smartens up the garden massively. Now to fill them! Going to be next season before I start looking at growing though.

That 2nd point is the major one for me. If you’re going to close the roads, give people an opportunity to spend money whilst they wait.

See, I think by inviting as many of the opposition up for a corner, you could break and be 3 on 2. We don’t get out anywhere near quick enough though.

I’m nowhere near as offended as you are at the idea of having everyone back for corners/defensive set pieces (and assume part of the thinking is to give opportunity for a quick break), but someone of Simms’ nature should be front post at corners and in the wall for a FK. Wouldn’t even say he’s...

I’ve often thought if we actually walked out to the trumpets/cornets bit at the start it’d work quite well. Quiet enough and doesn’t get you engaged straight away to stop chanting and start singing along. Then obviously it kicks up.

The fucking brass neck on him trying to argue with the ref.

Should be focusing on the positives but thought Bidwell was dreadful last night. For a player with a reputation as a decent defender he’s so passive and sits horrendously narrow at times.

Is that you Mark?

Bomb Scare Bobby. I genuinely thought he looked good on the ball last season, absolutely fucking diabolical in the 130 minutes so far this season.

If it doesn’t it’s not the end of the world - we’ve still had some money from Sporting for the ‘option’ in the deal. I’d imagine his sell-on has been reduced to 5% because of this.

Suppose the caveat to that is at L1 you don’t really get the standout teams that are going to average 2-2.2 points per game from the off.

I’ve not been able to watch the game back but my impression was the midfield was hampered by a lack of vertical ‘depth’ i.e. wingers sitting too deep and too wide. The lack of movement from both Allen and Torp wasn’t great either - you want each of them to be providing an easy out to the other...
