It's a long season. I'd love to bring this lad in and ship out Johnson - that'd be a huge improvement.

I suspect this is the inspiring attitude Mowbray is taking into the season.

£12m on Brereton and Gallagher.

I don't think he's the greatest defender, but if they're only asking for £4m for him, I'd scrounge up the money and buy him outright (although I doubt we can afford his wages). The loan fee would be substantial anyway - might as well own him.

The problem with computer game prices is that games are getting more and more expensive to produce. So unless you're selling incredible numbers of them, you have to up the prices to make a profit. As a consumer you just have to be discerning with which games you buy these days.

I'd still be wringing my hands about the gaping hole we have at LB.

I hope we charged him for the use of our facilities.

Sounds like a poor man's Tosin. You've not mentioned his ability to defend, which is telling.

Brereton and JRC out wide, Armstrong in the middle. Gallagher first change for Armstrong. Dolan and Chapman to backup Brereton and JRC. It's not rocket science.

Is he a significant upgrade over what we've currently got? Or a replacement for Williams when he leaves?

I've updated it. I've read that the new app doesn't allow streaming from an Apple device. Seems unlikely, but so far I haven't been able to get it to work.

Fortunately we're at a level where we don't need the next Duff or Dunn. The Academy producing players like Travis, JRC (who were both rejects of bigger academies), Nyambe, Buckley and Wharton, is enough to keep you competitive in this division. They'll also keep you financially viable, if you feel the need to cash in on them.

At this rate he's either not leaving, or he's leaving on Deadline Day. Don't expect the King cash this window - if at all.

Johnson's legs have gone - he looks heavy now. I'd try Travis, Holtby and Rothwell in CM to start the season.

They do, but Umbro don't give a fuck about us - we don't shift enough stock. They just pick something out of their back catalogue and whack our badge / sponsor on it. Job's a good'un.

I've resigned myself to the fact we won't be bringing many players in this offseason, but we desperately, DESPERATELY need a LB at minimum.

I'd argue we've stood still, which is why it's so frustrating. Walton was horrendous last year, Kamiski HAS to be an upgrade. Adarabioyo is a fantastic footballer, but he's not a fantastic defender. His loss won't be felt as keenly as many think. IF Holtby can keep fit and Mowbray allows him to play in that deeper role, he'll be more effective than Downing. Brereton looking somewhat like a footballer post lockdown is a major boost too.

If Eastham is more promising, but younger, I'd send him out on loan.

I'd take 12 months in L2 if that's the only level that's willing to offer him a starting role. He needs a run of 30+ professional games under his belt, then we can revisit him.

Just alternate the colours of the halves - world's your oyster. Red, yellow, orange, green. Knock yourselves out, designers.

Maglorie needs to go out on loan for a year to refine his game - he has all the physical attributes you look for, but he made three or four crucial errors that could have resulted in goals. He's not ready for the first team yet.

Money is tight. We survived a season with the Canadian as our #2. We can survive a season with Fisher in that role. He's not good enough though, that's for certain.

I'd like the players to get minutes into their legs in their correct position.

Mowbray had a good 60 minutes. Then he took off the front 3 and put a 5'6" 18 year old winger upfront. Tactical genius.

Hope not, Travis is losing that.
