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.

In the starting line up for the first group game this morning. Currently 1 up vs India. Going to be missing until mid feb probably.

No grey trim.

Long walk from the spare bedroom for desk jockeys.

At the away at Oxford last season, noticed IE having a long convo with Branagan at the end of the game. Think he could a job in the Championship, but probably out of our price range, as he signed a new contract in the summer I think.

That Rashford guy looks useless as well.

Just watching Maidstone on MOTD. Reiss Greenidge found his level NLS.
