Rival Son

Hopefully, no more than a half season loan, while we sort out short-term issues.

I don’t want to detract from the football, which has the seen the conclusion of a very positive pre season. However, it’s a question of proportionality. If those who commit such heinous crimes can be trusted to resume normal life after an appropriate period of punishment, surely the same opportunity should be extended to others? Anyway, I’ll leave it there.

Absolutely a ban, but life? You don’t get life for GBH, rape and murder. I’m not condoning anything but words, no matter how vile, should not attract a tougher penalty than such crimes.

One idea is that Taylor won’t be there because: a. He’s injured b. When fit he’ll be left back or, possibly, left centre back. Only in a shocker of an injury crisis will he be at right centre back.

So, adjust the maths yourself. 😀

On the basis of £30 per matchday ticket, you move into profit after 8 games. £150 + (8 x £10) = £230. 8 x £30 = £240

The 9 will not manage 90 minutes every game. If they do, they’re not putting in the required shift. 2 x 9s will both get plenty of time on the pitch, with no injuries. The 10 role might be Warren’s long-term role?

If you just want a thug, there are better.

I still think a right back is a bigger priority than a left back. At right back, there is no cover for Cogley. At left back, Taylor is only out for “3 or 4 weeks”, when the season doesn’t start for a fortnight!

Cogley 3-0

Is there a link, please?

Looking likely, now. With Dalby injured (and hamstrings notoriously recurring) we definitely need someone else. Just hope it’s a sensible contract.

Is this the conclusion without Dion Charles (45 goals in 122 games: 1 every 2.7 and much better) and Aaron Collins (20 goals in 64 games: an identical rate)? For neither of the above did I gerrymander the numbers to make a (poor) point. If we’re looking to improve, he ain’t the man for me.

We’ve sold and released a few players who finished outside the playoffs in League One, and have bottled nearly all big games (Wembley was an exception) over the last two seasons. In the course of this, we have raised north of £2 million (probably) in transfer fees and cut more than £1 million per year from the wage bill. The rebuild is underway.

Why? Leave the place vacant, until we need it.

I think there’s a player here, but he’s never played in his correct position. As an attacking winger, he was asked to play wing back. Not suitable. Now we’ve switched to wingers, but he still seems to be struggling because we’re using inverted wingers. When I watched his highlights reel, as he signed, he always seemed to attacking down the left. I fear that he may not be as effective on the right, where he’s expected to play. On the question of CMG, I thought Schon was much better on the right than CMG was on the left, against Barrow. I didn’t see the Hibs game, so can’t comment on that. Regarding CMG’s supposed versatility for various roles, this doesn’t sit well with me. I prefer specialists over jacks of all trades.

SS defines what he wants, recruitment identify who. Same as any business.

So, we need one striker; we already have the other. And we need a right back. We have Cogley, who’s injury record is excellent. However, if we go into the season with just Cogley, Sod’s Law says he’ll pick something up!

A right back?

3 countries and 3 wins in a week (and a day) surely!

Recognising that things were what they were in the past, but accepting have now things have moved on and we must deal with things as they are. Sounds almost like the polar opposite of a trade union leader to me!

Jack Iredale is doing very well, as we may see tomorrow. Another poor decision by Evatt!

As others have said, Wimbledon is a joint tournament, so it’s subjective to disaggregate the separate values; don’t forget media rights, which bring in far more revenue than bums on seats. Outside of the majors, aside from a very small number of other tournaments, the men and women have separate tours (ATP and WTA) and tournaments. As such, prize is not aligned but based on income generated. However, the women still earn a lot because ladies tennis is very popular. Whether other women’s sport is as popular and, consequently, rewarding is up for debate. I think ladies golf pays well but is, again, lower than the men. However, they do generate their own income.

I think he means Huddersfield had their pants pulled down.

Where’s the right back? We can’t go into the season with only Cogley and Desmond.
