Those are all, 100%, the kits. A very simple question for those of you that meet with Steve Waggott, which he should be able to answer: When other kits are produced, they’re sent with the sponsor already printed to the shirt. Why is ours different? I’d love to know his reply.

I knew it wouldn’t be us when it became apparent someone had paid for a private jet to get him into the country quickly.

Christ I’ve got Sunday brain - poor Dacky! I’ll change… Kaminski ??? Ayala Wharton Pickering Buckley Travis ??? Dack Markanday Brereton

I honestly can’t put together a team… Kaminski Carter Ayala Wharton ?? Buckley Travis Pickering Brereton Gallagher Markanday I don’t think we have a right back or right wing back - Brown and JRC haven’t shown me any capabilities. The above team has ZERO central defensive back up. No backup for LWB. Central Midfield - no adequate back up. Not convinced by the number 9.

A couple of injuries away from a relegation battle if that’s the plan. It would take 4 windows (2 seasons) to assemble a team capable of that.

He would need a medical, an unveiling, plenty of paperwork… they go to Portugal tomorrow.

We don’t have the players to play like this. And to be fair, not all 10 outfield players press in the Liverpool side… and they’re the best in the world at it.

We’ll see — I think JDT will see a lot of himself in Dack and will make him captain.

There’s no way Waggott let’s GB hire a plane. He’d be asking him to get the Ferry or something. Can’t see it.

It’s all too convenient.

I’d take unleaded making something up at this point

This is actually working really quite well so far from my point of view. As a side note the grace period of discussion on the WDWY subjects has now ended. Nobody has questioned where the discussion has gone for 14 days, so that can’t be an excuse!

Can anyone name a worse number 7 than Edun in Rovers history?

But that’s just the point… Giles was injured, but we still had Pickering. Zeefuik was injured, but we had Nyambe. Johnson and Clarkson where both squad players, but again filled in when needed. Davenport again a squad player, he wasn’t needed on the pitch hardly… but he played a role within the squad. Poveda I’ll give you. James Brown has almost zero experience at the standard required. I hope he’s good enough, but we haven’t seen any evidence that he is. Which of Lenihan and JVH do you think Phillips is good enough to currently slot right into? As much as you rate him, the answer can only be neither. Who’s our second left back?! It’s Sunday and my head isn’t working.

There’s nothing that optimises BRFCS pre season like arguing about the size of shorts

At least two right backs, at least two centre backs, one left back, two central midfielders, one winger, one striker. I make it 9…

After getting slated for the discussing the weather at Brockhall the other day, I’m astonished you lot are getting away with size of shorts you like wearing.

Our strongest first 11 from last season has lost: Nyambe, Zeefuik (back up RWB), Lenihan, van Hecke, Giles (back up LWB), Rothwell, Johnson, Clarkson, Khadra, Poveda, Davenport, and will soon lose Brereton. That’s a combined 19,291 minutes of first team football last season we don’t have this season. Yes, some players will step up from U23s. But we need some major first team ready signings.

Good morning, Steve.

If the money is similar I agree. If there’s a +5% swing I suspect he will go where the cash is.

LADIES AND GENTLEMEN, HE GOT ONE RIGHT!

Frazer is a member, he might tell you himself…

I love Ben but he MUST be sold this window. His contract is running out and whilst his form last year was brilliant we just cannot risk it dropping off.

Whether we could have replaced him in January is pointless and a distraction. We where lucky that Bournemouth offered 3M and should have absolutely taken it… but it shouldn’t have taken that long. If a player won’t sign an extension when they have 18 months left they MUST be sold in the first possible window. This is the basics, this is where the problem started.

People might not believe this and that’s fine, but trust me, Darragh asked for ‘Ayala money’ and as captain of the club, a mainstay in the team and an international player he felt he deserved it. He didn’t get offered anything like that. That combined with the uncertainty of a new manager who may or may not end up liking him vs. a manager that’s tried to sign him twice before meant it was an easy choice.
