Just had a look- in 23/24 season, they spent £640000 on players. Lost £7m overall. Decent spending in league 2 of course, but in comparison to ourselves and no doubt others, it is small. Dunno this years spend, but I think it's reasonable to say their spending has been seen better value for money than ours.

We'll have to disagree on that one then. For me, the manager is the top man, and he takes into account all different aspects. If he can't see that a player is struggling, when he knows that player has an injury, then he's not doing his job properly.

Banks and Hartle anyone?

He started the home leg. Whatever the opinion of him is, making a judgement on one game where he was a sub seems misplaced.

Manager has the last word though. Of course a good egg like Dempsey was putting himself forward and prepared to play, but if you look at comments on here at the time, he was getting pelters for his lack of performance. It was absolutely obvious he was injured, yet he still played him. His performances alone didn't warrant it. The comments from Evatt at the time were along the lines of "I asked if he was fit" and he declared himself to be. Maybe a bit of mental pressure being applied. As earlier, how on earth was he even able to make that decision, given he wasn't even aware of a broken bone in his back. Some really shat work from the physios, fitness guys, right through. It is their responsibility to accurately determine injuries etc and feed that information to the management and the player. It's not like it was a one off neither.

A bit different playing with a knock, and being asked to play with a continuous back injury. An injury that turned out to be a broken bone there. Rather than asking him to play through it, which was clearly hamlering his performance, why wasn't he sent back to the physios for proper assessment? Played for weeks with it. Something wrong with the whole set up when such a situation arises.

I reckon most would. Might be different if you're at a very top club I suppose, as getting a few games and winning stuff might compensate. I suppose mid table-ish championship is far from that.

Must get boring after a while.

Yes. It seems that Evatt pissed one or two off in the end. Out of position or a style that didn't suit. Probably isn't good enough for championship, but if he gets there, good on him and good luck.

Right, I've watched it again, and can see what you're getting at. At first, I thought the big lad was holding his own lad, when the others piled in. Especially at the end I thought he was splitting the others up and shouting at them, as if he was going to walk away with his son. Upon reflection, I think your interpretation is correct. Bound to be more to it all, but it does indeed look like the big un needs putting through the courts and then deporting.

I'm sure the evidence of both events will be gathered. Just seems a snapshot of an incident which is quite nasty.

How pathetic. If he's happy for him to be killed, then I'm sure the police would be happy to speak to him, given that they speak to people for criticising schools etc. Whichever ever way you want to dress it, it's pathetic and infantile to make such a comment. If someone went did the same about Starmer, he and you, would be shouting from the rooftops.

Must be missing something then. Seemed like an intermediate sized lad had a pop, but generally younger ones kicking off with each other.

Fair enough. He will have got what some fans thought he was after. Anyone going there must be a bit nuts though: a new manager by Christmas and they may not fit into his plans.

The Evatt effect.

Not sure what exactly is going on there. Big fella seemed to be stopping it. Meh.

Wonder what would happen if someone puta message on x etc, that called for the killing of a British mp, or PM? Moral outrage, and quite possibly a knock on the door. Rightly so. Call for death of an elected US president though, well that's OK. Trump might be a lot of things we don't like, but.. So much for being a democrat.

Not a wise move. But yes, IE to convert them to the new pretty boys. We've got a couple he could look at.

Swap him for Bradley.

Did the double over Orient. Lost twice to Stockport. An inconsistent shitshow.

Temperatures? 🤣

Yes, seems to be. Sunniest and driest spring ever. Breaking all sorts of records. Suppose there is time for some rain, but they can't take the sunshine back!

Hostages per se weren't the cause of this one. An invasion and slaughter of people was. Rinse and repeat, with slight differences, for conflict before and later.

Simples. On the wider issue of abuse of settlers, as I've said before attempts have been made over the years to resolve it, and agreements made. In more recent years, the Israeli population has become less committed to the likes of Netanyahu, and arguably more moderate. With Saudi close to agreeing the recognition of Israel before this conflict, there was more chance than ever of stopping these illegal settlements, theft of land and abuse of those who've been there for years. Then Hamas (Iran) put paid to it all.

Exactly. A bit bizarre. Not the end of the world though, I'm sure FV will have it covered.
