Wing Wizard Windy Miller

Neither did the 3 relegated ones!

This should be enlightening...

He may have to be as we don't seem capable of bringing in anyone else!

Why should they get a free pass? It took the club over a month to appoint. The club should not get a free pass, neither should the people they appointed. They all knew the situation.

Preferably at odds of 1000-1

Pickering is a frustrating signing. On paper you could see the logic. Captained Crewe, supposedly decent set pieces. Weighed in with the odd goal as well. Yet the more he plays, the more exposed he looks. If you've no pace, you need to contribute elsewhere (set pieces, goals/assists) - like Mulgrew. He was slow and susceptible defensively but could pick a pass, decent captain and excellent set pieces. Currently he offers next to nothing going forward. Is likely to get skinned every time by any averagely paced winger and the set pieces are poor. Doesn't strike me as a leader either. Not sure if it's a confidence thing or if he's simply not up to it. Desperately need a more effective left back/wing back if this JDT system is to work.

Better second half. Young lads doing well. Pickering woeful.

Good start from Brittain

Unless Gallagher is leading the line, then he, Hedges and Brereton don't look like they can play 'centrally'. The 2 full backs offer no width. Only positive is that Phillips looks very comfortable playing out.

Phillips looking decent. Lack of width/pace or anything out wide. Front 3/4 all getting in each others way Dack's been bloody awful.

Back to our real market of league one players. Brittain probably worth a punt. The only decent player Peterborough had, left for Bournemouth in Jan. *Still beat us though 🤦🏻‍♂️

Because we've been linked with so many.

Except we don't look like replacing him

So to summarise today. Nothing remotely incoming but we've managed to balls up the contract situation of our hottest youth prospect and Nyambe may join Wigan. Standard fare.

But we have no right back. Nyambe leaving before a replacement is just piss poor management.

Re-open negotiations with Nyambe: failed Re-open negotiations with Diaz: no chance. Recruit A list centre back:failed Recruit B list centre back: failed. Hire somebody else who can take the flak for failed recruitment: Almost there. Just another transfer window at BRFC.

We do it every year...so it looks like we are competitive...then sign league one players because that's our real market.

I don't have a problem with the likes of Wharton/Garrett. Being utilised around the first team. They are untried and deserve a season. Keeping players (who are been consistently poor in a position) such as JRC and Pickering is just self defeating though. Hopefully you are right. Given there have been no links to any full backs/wing backs - it is a little concerning.

Dear god. If that's the case, we may as well give up now.

I think £10 mil plus a decent sell on is the best we can hope for.

Diaz back

But we have billionaire owners who never refuse a cheque.

Pickering is shite. On paper a decent punt from lower league but his lack of pace is ridiculous.

You can't lose 5 first team players and not replace them with equal players or obviously you go backwards.

Not even a sniff of a rumour, never mind a signing. Something is definitely 'off' with this whole business.
