I'd rather both were available for selection this season, as we know it will be a long hard slog from Saturday til May next year. Without putting too fine a point on it, we might have changed the look and feel of our side, but the reality of the Championship remains brutally the same. So we need to gear up for the fight, for the hard knocks, for the incompetent refs, for the cynical challenges on our better players, for the inexplicable (haha) loss of form between December and end of January and the realisation that fucking Wrexham FC are viewed as a more realistic prospect for success than former Premier League Winners... VENKY SHEEP SHAGGERS OUT!

Well, he would say that wouldn't he (copyright Mandy Rice Davies)

Rover End seems THE most obvious one. The Real John Smith feels a bit dubious as well. Maybe there's a few of them employed to agree with each other and slap each other on the back going "Great post".

Imagine being bothered by us spending £2,000,000

Tronstad. Not even close.

When I was on the FF I (nor anyone else as far as I know) were never asked to approve any minutes, the first time I ever saw them was when they were published. I'm guessing that up to the last meeting, the procedure was still the same in that the Secretary (O2G) wrote up the minutes, sent them to the Club and if approved they subsequently appeared on the Club website?

Travis for value (before anyone says it I know it’s not likely to be reinvested)

Travis

Who would you rather lose Tronstad or Travis?

Yeah, we ain't been stockpiling midfielders just for the love of it or for no reason I wouldn't imagine.

In terms of breaking the stalemate with the content, could one way forward be to publish the original minutes and any disputed points that have the majority agreement of attendees are included as a note to that point?

They would, they don't give a shit!

Corrected that for you.

The Derby forums where full of Callum Brittain and Dolan signing aswell Do they have the money to pay for a cm when they look quite stocked there and are wanting a rb and wide player? I can see Travis going before deadline but I have my doubts it will be to Derby

Nicko pouring cold water on it:

Weird coincidence me writing about trav there and that ‘rumour’ has appeared. I think it’s pretty obvious that he won’t be here come sept

We've just signed a central midfielder

Just taking stock of the squad now and the continuing pursuit of baradji I feel this Saturday could be travs last game (if he plays) Vals continued comments about past mistakes regarding contracts just adds fuel to the fire. 4m and he’s gone

Derby forums full of chat about Lewis Travis apparently on the verge of signing for them. I call bull, we wouldnt sell our captain on the eve of the new season surely

they`re all on a jolly the lot who run this club and certainly don`t care about getting bigger crowds,though milking big away followings they are all over it,guttersnipes and disreputable **** imo

This ratings website has Xhaka as 2nd overall last season for Leverkeusen, after Wirtz (he was 5th season they won title): Same website for last 2 full seasons Walker played for Man City (including the treble season) he's 13th, both years. And that was back when he was good. 😂 P.S. Same website Xhaka's in Top 4 for Arsenal on four separate years, including 2nd place 2018/19 behind Aubameyang. Think it was more Arsenal as a club that failed in PL during that period.

Can see this panning out a bit like NEC last week. WBA 2 up at half time, awful first half from us. Kargbo on at half time and sparks a bit of a fight back We score 1 and the game fizzles out to a 2-1 home win.

Not the 11 that I would pick, but I do think that is the 11 that Ismael will start with on Saturday, possibly with McLoughlin in place of Wharton Assume that the "plan" will be to try and keep things tight and then hope to win it late on with Kargbo & Axel off the bench

To increase footfall, you make it simpler to access the ground. What do the Rovers do ? Make it harder.
