Brilliant game. Lancs came from nowhere at the end. A lot of talent in that side but we’re about to lose Salt, Livi, Wood as well as Parky. That’s the heart of the team.

Sounds intelligent and thoughtful. One of the keys to this being successful will be how well communications with the owners go. There needs to be massive improvement on that score. I wish him well.

Did we want a Director of football, or a youth development officer. Two completely different jobs surely?

Yorks/Lancs tomorrow on sky.

I’ve heard that argument before. His test average is 49.57 from 118 tests. Kohli’s for example is 49.59 from fewer tests. Labuschane’s is higher but from only 45 tests. Its all down to averages over long periods.

61 needed with 5 wickets left. I “think” Parky is batting at 8. Doesn’t say much for 9,10 and 11. Root and Foakes need to get us within 10 runs I reckon.

Parkys big grin on getting that wicket. Superb. Can’t help but love him.

You know the answer Matty. It will keep going until the fans stop paying. Cricket, unfortunately has already gone the way of football. Cash is king.

On to Blackpool and Southport.

I think every game they’ve played has been on, including county games. Ill be at O.T. Later today.

It’s free Gav. The coverage has improved a lot. There is commentary and there are more cameras now It’s quite watchable.

Notts 34/6 chasing 179

So to cap… Anyone we want - won’t come. Theres no one left we want. TBH, there’s not much point to this thread apart from a place where everyone can voice their disapproval at anything that’s rumoured. Its just a case of wait and see, then we can all disapprove of the new man. That WILL happen for certain. Blimey, half of Blackburn didn’t want Dalglish.

Phew!

The bit in yellow.

Beat me to it. Do they know he’s available, 5 year plan and all that goes with it? 😀

Oh how I miss the days when the club decided who they wanted then went out and got them. They didn’t simply just choose from whoever turned up at the front door.

That’s a very poor test squad.

A huge problem.

That’s what any football club would do. Here it seems to be the limit of our ambition.

The other thing that irks me while I’m at it is the continual use of the word stability. Let’s not get confused between stability within the business side of a football club - and stability on the field. Some fans seem to think that if you finish in a safe position in the league, that’s a good secure place to be. It isn’t because next season has no bearing on the last. You can’t plan to be stable on the field and it sounds from it as though some fans and indeed the club believe they can. It sounds like the club are planning for stability. For me, the minute you think you’re in a safe position is the minute you’re in danger.

That article fills me with despair. More “long term”, more “player development “, more “stability”. More places for everyone at the club to hide. We’ve had that for 5 years and it’s got us where exactly? Here’s a novel thought for them, look for a “Winner”. It’s all they need to look for. Winning games as soon as possible Everything else will follow from winning games.

I find that so sad. Sad that they took over a fantastic stadium (IMO) and just allowed it to fall into the state it is. Looking after the stadium is the least they should have done. There again, they were planning to break up the beautiful Academy training ground as well. I know they are the owners and do put cash in but you could be forgiven for thinking that deep down they have no pride in their club.
