Absolute crazy sending us all the full length of the East stand, along Central Drive and back into Bloomfield Rd to meet all their dickheads coming in the opposite direction. If they had just let us out onto Bloomfield Rd we would have been half way to Bolton before they left the ground. Thanks also National Highways for the 3 sets of single lane roadworks as well.

ALF has spent more time in OZ than GJ, why is he not starting for them in the Cup thingy.

They haven't even got a manager. Not sure I would rocking up somewhere without knowing who would be my boss.

Ogbeta and Ramsay, great signings in areas where we (currently) lack much cover. JDC has had a great season but deserves and probably needs a breather. Not sure he can play much better whereas if Ramsay plays to his potential he can. Matheson promising but maybe a loan to another L1 club or top end L2 will get him some game time.

According to Lancs Evening Post, arrived at Preston in the summer unfit as recovering from injury then when he got fit and in the team got Covid and missed another 3 games. Just not worked out for him yet at Champ level, but both Southampton and Leeds interested so he's clearly got something about him when fit.

Calvin Ramsey, Liverpool RB on loan supposedly - us instead of Leeds as he'll get more game time here and Bradley has obviously overtaken him at Liverpool.

Which stats you looking at? According to Wiki. Smith has 48 league career goals and 34 in the last 3 seasons Collins 63 career goals with 35 in the last 3.

This from ABC "Jones, who replaced Nathaniel Atkinson in the starting line-up, came off holding his groin in the 69th minute." Send him home!

Don’t the Aussies play a flat back four? If so not sure people can’t expect him to be playing like a wing back.

Kicking off in the Black Country Derby.

Collins has a lot more to his game than goals, he’s a playmaker. I’d keep all of them and add him as a fifth, but there’s a lot of gossip. Charles (Preston?), Vic overseas, Bod Cambridge, Cam too old they say. All done a job. So not impossible we could get Ennis and Collins. Charles has lost some form recently, no one can question his work rate or pressing but when the goals dry up as they have recently, it highlights he hasn’t got much else in the locker.

Can play in all 3 left sided defensive positions apparently - LB, LWB and LCD.

Good point. I think Beck, Shoretire and Mbete all were given opportunities and treated respectfully by the club (if not some of the fans). To piss off 3 of Europe's largest clubs would have been a huge act of self damage. Loans are part of the game whether we like it or not. No need to stick two fingers up at Brentford either. They have a good system for identifying young talent and didn't we train there before the Pizza.

Probably not a coincidence that Sharon’s s 43.98% and the Govt’s 6.5% add up to 50.48%. Nobody from The Shareholder Executive is turning up for monthly Board meetings but if they do, they are voting for the best option to get the taxpayers money back. Sharon does seem to have taken a little step back recently and I don’t think Toby et al rock up at many games these date. My guess she will want her money back and more if we get promoted (and I wouldn’t begrudge it, she’s done a great job thus far) Luckock and the Swiss are presumably the growing influence.

Looks like last years additional funding has come from Nick Luckock. BMLL ltd which he solely owns has 800 k more shares than last year.

Think they have a financial value if we get sold, but don’t have full voting rights.

Wonderful. I’ve arrived today! Really cold wind in London but was 3c this afternoon. Must (better) be on.

Bit worrying that he hasn’t forced his way into their starting line up. He really needs to kick on when back with us.

Team training in David Lloyd this morning soft sods.

Both 26 and neither good enough for where we’re going.

Mauritania's No 27 is a bit of a hot shot.

Luton flying out to Dubai tomorrow morning plus big freeze tomorrow. If it's off today no way is it on tomorrow.

Someone taking the piss. Making me wince thinking about it.
