47er

42 for 2, wicket very difficult. In a bit of trouble.

Edited!!

Hm--he wasn't great success but that doesn't mean Exiled's point isn't valid. You may have missed it but Sheff U went up! EDIT---shit! I forgot! And I watched the game!! They got as close as it gets though! Going away to hide for a few hours!!! So the point now is, it doesn't matter how much you spend on loans, you won't go up! We should do well.

its not promotion money is it?

Depends on how much they hope to get back from selling our best players?

Duckett out waving at a ball going down leg-side after doing all the hard work. 43-1.

Crawley on 1 and doing his level best to get out. Beaten every ball in current Bumrah over.

Thanks to Venkys who relegated us all on their own. Most championship clubs require funding from wealthy owners but our wealthy owners think we can fund ourselves, while giving our best players away!

the fact that he is in the last year of his contract and no new deal seems in the offing. Plus--how many others have we lost in this way in recent years? Yo\ur moniker says it all.

It just seems normal to me now.

Yes.The quality of the player means zero. Its all about them costing too much!

Every year we get weaker Chaddy. We never build by keeping the best and replacing the weakest. We do the opposite in fact. Its a miracle we got so close to the Playoffs but if we'd done what I'm suggesting we'd have walked it. There is no plan, its a season to season operation depending on what money is available. Now money is very scarce and we are gambling. We can't go on like this much longer.

You are always free to leave. Not negativity but painful realism. Sinking lower every year, why should you expect optimism?

Then whole point of a Transfer Window is to strengthen your squad. When did we last do that?

Why do we invariably win the toss and bowl? Since the Indians would (rightly) have chosen to bat both times the toss is a farce!

!!!!!!!!!!!!

His brother died with him. Tragedy.

Because they never do the right thing?

Ww will all judge him on the pitch when he plays. But it'll be a bit late then if he's rubbish or very ordinary. I'd prefer to keep both Kronstadt and Travis thanks. I've seen them on the pitch and I 'm very happy with them. They are clearly good quality Championship players with nothing to prove. Hard to think we could afford anyone better or even as good. But you seem to prefer risk-taking and to trust the people who make these decisions. I don't.

That's tautology isn't it?

You think season ticket sales are so low because people on here urge others not to buy one? I rather think the performance of the Club (in the widest sense) accounts for low sales, whatever is said on here.

and they pay more tax than the e average. At the top level a couple of seasons sets a player up for life. Not so when you go down the Divisions. Particularly at a club which has a ceiling for wages go £10,000 a week. Anyway, whatever any of us think, players will follow the money so we either compete or give up.

But still more attractive than we are apparently. Bit of a worry eh?

And having some mates with him helps.

No--they live on what they earned, partly at least.
