Players that can play the wing back role barely exist, if you want someone who is a skilled defender and a dangerous winger. People are saying Apter can't do it, but we persist with CJ all season. Who does neither well enough. It beggars belief that we never tried a back four all season...

So the Tranny fan isn't sure about the number 10 idea. Thrives with the space out wide to attack. Would a season on the wing be good preparation for using him as a ten next season?!

No, Benton won cos of the Brexit vote. The Tories have created their own demise and with our electoral system there's only one place to turn to. We had the chance to change the electoral system but just as we did with Brexit, we fucked it up.

Yes 25% sell on.

It's a good job Dembele avoided injury all season....

It's a good job we didn't bring him back in January. 🤦🏻

There's no such thing as a board end of season review. Lots of bored end of season reviews on social media, though.

Sounds like Miles had another good game and is hopefully one who will break through in the near future.

I admire the talent they have, I enjoy seeing that level of ability. But I do think if get bored watching it regularly. I got bored with one game tbh. Other games may vary.

Absolutely. I think we'd all settle for one or the other, and understand that having both is a luxury. But you can always set out out to entertain, even if you don't have the resources to succeed regularly.

On the podcast last night td53 talked about feeling glad the season was over and he could have a few weeks away from it, and compared that with feeling sad the season had ended when McMahon was here and we hadn't achieved anything. I reckon that's a widespread feeling. As much as we want...

I seem to remember there being a time limit to the funding that will pay for the initial clearance work? 2025 iirc. It looks like the Town Deal funding was for a period of a few years, ending in the financial year 2025/26. Although we were told in March 2022 that compulsory purchase orders...

Nobody wants to lose but the older I get the more I just want to be entertained. Football should be a duel, a fight to the death. Skill, blood and guts. Drama, elation and despair. I don't see the point in spending time and money on a drab soulless afternoon or evening. I went to the Etihad for...

I can't see Barnsley doing it with two points from their last 6 games, but it could be any of the other three, in the play off lottery. Oxford have arguably the best form and Bolton will be the most nervous, I think.

Insider's match "Stats again" thread names the player with the most touches each game. This season it has usually been one of the back three. Previously, with a back four, it was usually one of the full backs. Against Barnsley last week it was Carey.

Pretty downbeat. Understandably. Let's hope Sadler shakes things up a bit.... And I do hope we see more opportunities for some of the dev squad products. Apter, Moore, and one or two others. Big thanks to you all on the podcast, it's great for exiles like me to help us keep up with things...

Horses for courses. Continuity means we are planning already. Going through a new manager selection process delays everything. There are arguments both ways, stick or twist, but Sadler will stick and you can see the logic without even having to think about it. Critch has to improve us next...

Not football related but a Blackpool pic that took me by surprise...

What's the point of anything?

I doubt that what we'd get go replace them in L1 would be better. Comedy defending is a bit of a daft comment in my opinion. They are not perfect but they are highly committed and take responsibility. Good at this level. I think our main weaknesses this season were playing three at the back...
