Take the two best midfielders out of any side and it weakens them. We were obviously trying to strengthen with Stamenic so I imagine we’re now pursuing plans B, C and D. We’ll get someone in. But if we don’t you still have Allen, Torp and even Rudoni. No panic

Incredible the conclusions being drawn from a friendly. None of it matters till Stoke.

Has the season started?!?!……. Oh no, it’s just a friendly.

Haha. Yes Tavares

But surely that’s over his entire time with us. There’s no way he started 25 games as CF for us last year. For me, towards the end of last year he was showing real progress. Comparing his time from yesteryear is misleading. For example Gyokeres at Swansea developed and improved.

Out of position

But the point being made is we need to replace him. We don’t. For me Tavares, given the games, is an upgrade on last seasons Godden.

I think we’re under selling the options we have. One that interests me is Tavares. His position is CF. He’s been played on the wing. But actually when he gets central he looks like a very natural goal scorer. And let’s not forget we have Simms and then Wright. Godden played no part at all last...

I give in and wholeheartedly agree with you.

Christ almighty. What I’m saying is you’ll get the depth you can afford. Yes, we need more depth. But it’s utterly pointless to expect or demand it unless you are in a position to hand Robins endless cash. I enjoy your undoubted enthusiasm for the team but it’s unreasonable to expect what you want.

It’s a bit like selling a house. It’s worth what anyone will pay for it. How do we judge O’Hare’s talent? By where he’s gone. Sheff Utd is about right for him.

Do you think Barca had a Messi back up? Or PSG had a Mbappe back up? Or City of the early 90’s had a David Rennie back up? Your view of the game is a bit bizarre. Presumably it’s an easy fix. We just need 33 world class players.

There is an alternative low point. Worst conditions. Only one contender for me. Possibly January. Absolutely freezing cold. Pissing down with rain. Stood in the open on the Spion Kop with roughly 7 others watching a Simod Cup tie. Possibly v Ipswich. Definitely the game Lloyd McGrath broke his...

You’d think he’d knocked it out the park for three straight seasons only to be hooked out the team. We had a few goals at the turn of the year and some eye catching celebrations. Anyway, we don’t need to judge. Where he’s ended up has done that.

Yes saw that. Puts a few good players on the market.

Every team needs better quality and depth. It’s stark staringly obvious. Loans and frees aren’t free. Also, just because we aren’t flooded with rumours doesn’t mean we aren’t doing lots and lots of things.

I’ve had my first session. They encouraged me to identify what’s wrong with my posts and how I can make them better. They then quoted a deep and meaningful piece of Mark Twain wisdom, made two clever analogies and provided me with details of how to pay.

Of course he is. I’ll wager there is nothing that happens with a significant bearing on things that isn’t run past him.

Am I being moved “upstairs”!!

Is there even the merest hint that this is the route we’re going down?
