    Transfer Window - COMPLETE. Where’s Gregg?

    Its a dark art this running a football club, who knows what money goes where, be it Armstrong's £10m+ or the training ground bonus bonanza....

    K-Hods point about reinvesting is a valid one, even a small amount could have seen us into the playoffs last season, but no it was kept in the safe, as I suspect the BBD money will be too.

    All sums received & not spent reduce the amount of working capital finance needed from the owners. I think we all agree on what we suspect will happen, I'm just tidying up how it is referenced because "trousering" is pejorative. 

    "Borrowing less from the owner" is the reality.

    If we sold BBD and reinvested the money into the squad with players we already have lined up, it wouldn’t be ideal, but I’ve expected him to be on his way for a while, really. 
    Just to be clear- I have absolutely no confidence in our hierarchy to do this though. The Armstrong money went unspent and I think the BBD cash will go the same way. Saying it went unspent is easier to pacify fans, but I think we all know it will be getting trousered.

    If by "trousered" you mean "funding working capital deficits because our (non-transfer) turnover is inadequate..." I suspect you are correct; but "trousered" suggests someone is pocketing money illicitly ?

    You know you've had a strong start to the season when a match thread is dominated by which victory song should be played.  They could play old interviews of Steve Kean over the tannoy as long as we keep winning.

    Yesterday - first time I've seen us live as I missed the QPR game.  Ayala or Travis my man of the match, Brereton had a horrid 42mins until his goal, but you can't deny his influence on both of the key moments - fantastic finish and a brilliant assist.

    I was concerned about Pickering pre-game knowing Wallace's quality given any space, but I thought he played really well.

    Phillips played well, a little bit nervous with his passing but to be expected given his first league start.  Grant can be a handful and he dealt with him superbly. 

    Livermore is a wanker, and I'm not convinced he really offers anything.  Would be interested to see WBA fans opinion on him -swear the guy is living on a reputation from his early days at Spurs.

    EDIT - A quick search on one of their forums 😂

    How crucial is Ayala to our success - what a defender he is at this level!

    11 minutes..... someone please explain.

    Kaminski - 6 - kicking is a bit of an issue. One fantastic save from Grant, otherwise relatively untroubled.  Came flying out for their last corner and got nowhere near.

    Brittain - 7 - had a decent first half, that last min interception that I assume was his injury was fantastic.  Think he played the ball in to Gally for our first too?

    Phillips - 7 - Maybe an 8 because it was his debut.  Looked to be in control throughout - one or two sloppy passes.  17 years old though, fantastic.

    Ayala - 8 or 9 - Just a monster for us.

    Pickering - 7 - Stuck to his task well vs Wallace who's hard work.  Allowed one cross which Diangana should have scored from. Fair play to him for stepping in at CB - well done him.

    Travis - 8 - Covered every blade, won every tackle.  God forbid he gets injured.

    Buckley - 6.5 - Not his best game.  Always neat and tidy but tried one or two Hollywood passes that didn't come off.  Again, going in at RB vs Diangana - well done him for sticking to it!

    Gally - 7 - Knew he'd be crucial in this one, if only from a defensive point of view.  Assist for the first and a lovely finish for his goal.  He's frustrating to watch but he certainly has his uses.

    Hedges - 7 - Faded a bit second half but you can see there's a player in there somewhere. Some nice touches - I think he'll continue to improve with more game time.

    BBD - 7.5 - Horrid for 41mins including a ludicrous dive.  BUT, showed some great moments of game-changing quality.  Fantastic strike of his goal and brilliant, brilliant play for Gally's.

    Sammie - 6 - Worked hard, not a lot came off for him.  Does seem to really buzz about and gets stuck in - just not really his day.

     

    Subs - Morton... 6.5 - did anyone else notice he seemed to be getting caught too high up the pitch?  To say he was supposed to be playing next to Travis he was behind the play quite a lot.  You can see he's a good player, but he won't dislodge Buckley or Travis.

    Dolan - 6 - Worked tirelessly as always and ALMOST worked himself a goal from sheer persistence.  His work rate is blighted by how terribly slow he is.  And stop back heeling the ball on 94mins when we're under severe pressure.

    Dack - 6.5 - I was convinced he was going to score with that shot on the turn.  He has a link with BBD that not many others have - twice those really aggressive passes came in to him on the edge of the box - one a flick that didn't come off, the second a fantastic touch, great turn and a shot that was goal bound.  He's still got great quality for this league - give him time folks.

    Edun - 3 - Jesus Wept. How many times did he give the ball away?  I've watched this guy for what.... a year now?  I still don't know what his strengths are OR what position he's actually naturally suited to.  Does my head in.

    Feel free to enter these into the *now working* Match Centre 😉
