Of course he doesn’t need to explain why. He paid money to buy the club. He’s relaid the pitch. Stuff has been done to the training ground and changing rooms. We probably run at a loss. Maybe he’s holding cash to make an offer to Ashley. There’s no reason at all for him to explain why £’s in may...

Our transfer budget won’t be gone. He’s never going to advertise is as teams just up their fees.

We might suffer a bit with internationals as and when players are required. We could feasibly lose Wright, Palmer, Latibeaudiere and less likely Sakamoto. Quite a lot for a Championship club.

I think this is likely. We all see a lot of Championship players and focus on them but the net will be cast wide. You don’t get great value for money with top end Championship players.

Not sure that is correct. There’s no way Dasilva has enough defensive ability to play in a back 4. The system switch has helped but Bidwell is as big a factor in it as the system itself.

I’d say Wright is clearly worth the fee. £7m is not that big a fee in the context of football overall. Is he a third of the player Gyokeres is - easily.

Look at it from the buyers perspective. A player who is out of contract in six months and has had a huge amount of time out with a serious injury. It’s not a combination that draws a big offer. We’ll look to sell him in Jan and he and his agent will want a summer move with a fair chunk of the...

Yeah, probably fair. Personally I’d like to see more defensive know how but he’s a tidy player. Certainly not a bad bit of business.

Today was 7’s all round as we won with Sakamoto getting 8 due to his goals.

Looking rather different now isn’t it. Four gems in Van Ewijk, Wright, Sakamoto and Kitching. Improvement being seen with Thomas and Collins. Lati looks solid. Simms and Dasilva still time. Overall a success

Interesting in the context of us needing a midfielder that a fair few headlines being grabbed by the likes of Twine and Swift. Which in turn probably rules them out.

On the game thought Eccles was excellent along with Wright, Kitching and Sakamoto. I think the red will be overturned but if we stay back 4 (which we should) I’d just slot Latibeaudiere in for Kitching and have Sheaf or Allen back in the midfield. Godden has a place in City hearts but he just...

You can see why Godden is playing but he’s a total passenger. Back 4 looking good again and Wright very impressive. Sakamoto busy.

Think Simms is dropped to be fair to Godden. You can’t stay in the team endlessly if you’re not scoring. Long term he’ll be back but at this point it seems fair enough to put Godden in for him.

If Lisbon can get anything north of £40m for Gyokeres we should be putting the bunting out.

You’ll see the same scenario play out every season. Newly promoted club needs players. Other clubs know they have money. Game of “chicken” ensues as season draws close. Invariably it’s for players like Hamer who are among the top champ players but still affordable for lower prem clubs.

Happy Christmas all.

I think we’ll finish just outside the play-offs. Well up there but just outside.

I’d fancy us to win 2-3 of those but in this Championship it’s a complete bun fight.

I’m afraid if you think he’s shown he can finish it’s you that is clueless. I sincerely hope you are right but I have my doubts. To qualify the not looking like a footballer I mean in the way he does things - nothing looks natural - passing, dribbling, shooting. Hopefully he proves me wrong.
