2 observations. 1) If true, then the seller has to shoulder some of the blame for not doing proper due diligence 2) ditto fit and proper person's test. Our current predicament stems from this ill fated sale Whilst there is probably some truth in this, I think it is too simplistic to blame our situa...

Yeah great a pre season friendly. Tell me about all the assists from Yiadom crosses in League games. Obviously there won't be many because he's not currently tasked with crossing and we only play one upfront. If you change to play 2 up and instruct him to cross that will likely change. Put in a cou...

Moore signed a 5 year contract I think it was in 2018. So the season after this one he's out of contract. We may be able to offload him this summer if he has a good season. Surely another club offering him a 3 year deal on £25k a week might tempt him No teams in the Championship would offer him tha...

There you go then 23 with a first team appearance still stuffed. Probably why we are trying to get rid of McNulty and Puscas. So we can sign a left back + Kadeem Harris. We could turn around and say to the EFL we've got long term injuries in our squad so we should be allowed temporary loans to cove...

I get that we have to take what’s coming but the embargo feels like a slow death sentence. I’d almost rather take a 9 point deduction and hope that we can stay up. I am not even sure if relegation would be so bad. League 1 could be a great place to blood our youngsters and to re-build the squad wit...

Sam Walker’s wages too.
You can see why we are in such a mess.

As guesswork goes your numbers seem decent enough. It’s worth bearing in mind those astronomical figures are on the back of being in a transfer embargo for much of summer 2019. Just how reckless have we been? Did we have to pay off Meyler’s contract back then too? I can’t recall but that might add ...

Play the same team as we did today except Southwood in goal. Rather not blood too many youngsters in or the EFL will be even bigger pricks and count each youngster who plays as a senior player in the 23 limit. Disagree. Too late really. If you start with the five on the bench and play Dorsett, Sack...

Head of legal at EFL said otherwise in response to a direct question, suggesting that it was wrong for just one app to count you in as one of the 23 allowed players. Five he said. Maybe we'd better get in touch with the club to make sure they know! There are 2 different things: Player of Profession...

The rules may also scupper our hopes of re-signing crucial players like Swift, Rinomhota, Meite and Laurent all of whom are out of contract next summer. If we are restricted to offering them £8,500 per week they will all leave on frees next summer. I’m confused how we tied McIntyre down to 3 years ...

Yiadom can. He just doesn't very often. Swift should be able to. Bristow ought to be able to. I’m struggling to remember any goals we have scored from a Yiadom cross. He keeps cutting inside to no great effect. I think there was one in pre season in the first game after you said he can't cross. Yea...

Yep. We were found out last season playing just Joao upfront. Teams put two players into him and marked him out of games. We had no plan B. If we are going to play two upfront though we need players that can send in decent crosses. Who are those players? Yiadom can. He just doesn't very often. Swif...

Need to play the five bench players from today, McNulty and some of the Academy lads. ..................Southwood Holmes, Moore, Dorsett, Bristow Azeez, Tetek, Rinomhota, Camara .............McNulty, Puscas Can't be any new debuts, or it just increases the official squad size. Maybe play Sackey as ...

At 2-2 we’d have walked away happy and said we played well. Controlled the second half until swift went off (arguably kicked off) Once he went seemed to either tire or lose shape and suddenly Stoke did look like scoring, which they did Promising signs but some poor stuff at the back. Need a LB, did...

Preston lost 4-1 at home to Hull today. A good game for us next up.

At 2-2 you just knew how this was going to finish.
It’s going to be a very long, hard season. Anything above 22nd will be a result.
