Winter is coming

I think Covid has changed sports for across the board. Not being able to go to games, having to prioritize dollars, many fringe fans have found other interests. I’d guess if/when we get further beyond the lock downs more fringe fans will return to sport in general.

It’s not like we have the bodies to let any players walk

Until this year never given a fair run in the middle. Asked to play out wide and inconsistent opportunities. No wonder he isn’t interested in reupping. Might have decided to move on last year and using this to highlight to others his abilities

If only we were looking at bringing in reinforcements in January instead of shipping off 40% of our starting 11

Josh King having a great day.

Probably been flagged for illicit transactions

Was just thinking, I’ve never seen such mediocrity. We really have enough to be too 6…because no other side is that good either.

Edun has had a great match.

Van Heck better at seeing the ball safely out at their end than at ours.

Dolan does Drinkwater beautifully. Criminal Clarkson gets called up over him.

Without Picketing available, how is Carter not on the bench

Can’t see how anyone could feel that this match isn’t still in the balance.

Excellent run by Rothwell there.

Was just thinking, we could really use an arse player having a walking about on the pitch. Poveda getting ready

How has Van Heck leaped Carter. Carter played well haven’t seen anything to think Van Heck should be ahead of him.

Shit…Ayala our best player this campaign. Going off with an apparent injury. No noticeable injury so hopefully it’s not bad.

Rothwell seems to be working out a knock. Very close for SG.

Does anyone really know the wage budget we’re working with? Mowbary goes on about agents thinking the players can get premier league contracts and that other clubs might offer this or that, but is the wage budget here worse off than other championship sides? Surely those with parachute payments have more cash to throw around, but are the likes of Rothwell and Lenihan really going to get offered that much more by another club? If they were so desirable then why didn’t we receive any bids for them over the summer as they approached the final year of their contracts. If a club is going to offer them 3 x what we offer them, then surely they rated them enough to float a million quid to get them tied down. You’d also think with Diaz’s newly found international stardom we could make an exception. Surely with him we’re selling more kits and attracting more fans in a part of the world few if any championship sides reach. it just seems to me with the wages that have come off the books, the sale from AA, and owners that have so far been happy to foot the bill, we have to be better positioned than most our peers.

He was clearly putting a lot into that one Rothwell shot from 25 yards out. As that was our only shot that I recall.

The comments are spot on. “had we only been given 3 more min of additional time, their frustration would have really surfaced.”

Yeah…I want Mowbary gone as much as anyone but not confident in who come through the door next.

Yes it speaks volumes that the best manager hired was the caretaker that was promoted when they sacked the clowns before him. It’s really a depressing list over the last 10 years if you look at it.

Right but he was already here. They were lucky he was as they can’t seem to find anyone capable on their own.

What’s most depressing to me is that Mowbary might be the best (least shite) manager hired by the Venkys since they took over.
