I didn’t mind Lyndon but I think it’s time we all try something different now.
Oddly, for me his biggest flaw if ever there was one, was his general averageness in attributes.
Decent in the air but no Helguson
Quicker than Frey but hardly a speed merchant
Could put it about but didn’t enough
Not a natural finisher but good if he didn’t have time to think about it
Interesting to see if that’s that or we can go in the market for one more attacker |

Slightly off topic but I can’t stand it when pundits say ‘your Rooneys, your Ronaldos, your Agueros’
Such a weird turn of phrase |

Touted as play off dark horses by a few, Sheff Wed, currently having a shocker.
Lovely to see and more importantly I hope we don’t give them another 6 points this year! [Post edited 18 Aug 15:31]

Strengthened the squad in exactly the place it was crying out to be strengthened.
Still need some cover at Left Back but these two seem encouraging.
Or they could be the new Petter Vaggan Moen |

My dad and I sit in F block and have done for a long time. He’s decided to bin off all the 12:30 kick offs… and to be honest, I don’t blame him. They’re shit.
Fans that physically go are a total afterthought to the powers that be now. I don’t really go to many away games but feel for those that do. These daft kick off times might spell the beginning of the end for me and my dad having a Season Ticket. I imagine others might feel similar. |

These 12:30 kick offs as well. I hate them and think it has a real negative impact for the atmosphere.
Deader than disco. [Post edited 10 Aug 15:14]

Got me through an admin heavy work day. A very enjoyable listen
Couple of recurring themes
- A lot of clubs are insanely run
- everyclub wants a striker
Do strikers even exist anymore!
I also have QPR finishing in their gravitational position.
Quite reassuring to hear a lot of clubs have a lot of issues which should mean a slightly better season than last year. |

Perhaps Lloyd should but my thoughts are influenced by the lack of loan time Armstrong got and the ‘what if’ feeling there is with his transfer.
Wouldn’t want Lloyd to possibly suffer the same way. Although they are different players
You’d like to think Dykes may be on his way out or we at least get another forward in, if we have the £££, which we probably don’t! |

Wasn't at the game today but perhaps a loss like this will serve as a reality check and temper expectations all round. Not saying that we're all expecting a play off tilt!
Even before today, I have thought we were 2/3 players short (striker, attacking mid, defensive/centre mid).
What has at least been encouraging this pre-season is seeing the emergence of Kolli and perhaps Lloyd. Kolli in particular is a match day squad addition.
Lloyd could benefit from a brief lower league loan (in league 1/2) to get some more game time. [Post edited 27 Jul 20:50]

Apologies Ned - meant to add to the thread not reply specifically to your post!
I’m a fan of some hip hop. Find the angrier stuff turns me off.
The mellower type, Common, de la soul, The Roots, Pharcyde, I enjoy.
Slightly off topic but I find it weird when people are sad and listen to sad music.
That would only make me worse!! [Post edited 27 Jul 17:47]

I agree.
Kolli looks like he could be a useful match day squad addition and was encouraged by Alfie Lloyd and Daniel Bennie too.
Frey also looked like he'd lost half a stone and was busying himself about.
Nardi made some smart stops and also a couple of great bits of distribution.
Not one to get too carried away about as it was a friendly, but we were worth a goal.
Dykes unlucky with that header but should've put away that chance that was in prime Idrissa Sylla territory. [Post edited 20 Jul 18:43]

I have a family connection to the Thompsons, his younger sister is my godmother.
Great to see Daley finally get some overdue recognition. Often feels like a forgotten man in British sport. His achievements mean his profile and status should be far bigger than it is. Not that Daley would really mind that much, he is his own man, always has been. [Post edited 17 Jul 18:39]

If his agent is engineering a move, then let him.
Much better to have people that want to stay at the club
3 goals in 60 games is a poor return (even if he is still developing)
If he does go though, we need to replace his speed, which has been a useful asset from the bench.. |

When you say ‘chunk’ are you referring to wage or waistline? |

You know one of those occasions in life when you’re not sure how you’ll feel about something happening and then when it does happen, it turns out you’re more relieved than anything.
And relieved is exactly how i’m feeling about Willock leaving which would’ve been unthinkable during the illy/willy days of yore. |
