Blimey they were never retained in my psychic RAM

Breezed passed the 300 mark. A bit of a mix up at mid-wicket on 295 but otherwise no real excitement.

I agree. Problem with the strategy is that it changes. We originally didn't sign Bath because we decided he was too old and we cocked up the paperwork. Then we sign a bunch of revived 45s to provide a solid foundation under Eustace. Now we are back to developing youngsters with the new manager. This is not a project or a strategy. This is the equivalent of trying to make the quarterly results look good for the shareholders. In this case, one shareholder. It does appear that JDT and now Ismael are youth focused. Bottom line if it doesn't work and we are looking like the drop, both he and the model will be for the chop. Ironically Brentford have had to adjust their model with Keith at the helm by signing Henderson to steady the ship. What goes around comes around

Way too much ink on this one. Always feels he is better than us. Let him try. In fairness he is probably being talked up by his advisors. His best home is Derby where Eustace can put an arm around him and he will feel at home. Just needs to remember to change his shirt.

There is only one constant. Change. A new manager brings a new way of playing and a new style of player to fit the model. Gestede is a change in personnel and a change in contacts and approach. The strategy for keeping players until they are worth nothing has changed. Rothwell, Brereton and Dolan are unlikely to be repeated so anyone not signing contracts a year out will be off. The Indian Government is clamping down on foreign investments so a change in investment approach is required. If we make more good decisions than bad ones, we are winning. Brittain was solid but a sick note for a good part of the season. Dolan was constantly criticized for chasing up his own arse much of the time. I am happy to give the new signings a chance It is what it is. Let's trust the process If it goes tits up then we know what will happen.

Clearly the instructions are out.

200 up before the new balls up is introduced. Wicket certainly taking spin from the club PR team.

Not surprising with Tavares. "It only takes a minute ...🎶

Why don't we just give Derby last year's Rovers shirts and then they will feel even more at home.

Let's be honest, Dolan had a great finish to the season but I can't think of another player that I scream more at the telly about. He has been so frustrating in possession and with the final ball. Eustace had a chance to coach that out of him without great success. Dolan needs someone to put an arm on his shoulder. Eustace will do that. But he is building a team of old players and favorites. Not a long term strategy but good enough to keep him in a job for the moment.

Tottenham will do that to you.

I console myself that i don't support Sheffield Wednesday. That is a storied club about to disappear before our very eyes.

I think the supercomputer is "sending a message to you Rudi" It must have hacked your transfer spreadsheet. https://www.givemesport.com/supercomputer-predicts-final-championship-table-soccer-football/?link_source=ta_first_comment&taid=685d597a5473740001fea197&fbclid=IwQ0xDSwLLwBlleHRuA2FlbQIxMQABHivluP3IDEBljG2vOb3cAd6dfNBcmYmQD85f00Pi8D1hxmZPa-FxFZvYs-lS_aem_pCZC8X55xvi7DCDKBjLTgw

Another underrated visionary like Raya plucked from under our noses by Brentford. 🤔 https://www.bbc.co.uk/sport/football/articles/c3w48p7n014o

What is fascinating about Welcome to Wrexham is how they have rebuilt the club into a multi million dollar global brand. The first duscussion the new CEO had with the owners in last season's series is 1) Do you want to consolidate and stay in League one cost c 10 million quid 2) Do you want to get bak to back to back promotions. High risk high reward. Cost c 50 million quid. They chose the second. They have probably had that discussion already for this season. And the answer is probably the same. Our answer is #1 and there is probably no discussion. Waggott probably tried one at the end of rhe season and it was the end for him.
