Jimmy Dunne vs Birmingham. On steroids. |

Must be the over 80 allocation. Surely not worth the postage.
I know I'm set for an April increase in State Pension of £40-50. Due to the triple lock. |

They've lost 7 on the bounce. It can't be a surprise. Perhaps Warne is really a L1 manager at best.
ATM I'm not sure they've got anybody lined up.ĺ |

He wasn't brilliant at 11. |

Bowles for me.
Marsh was great at 2nd and 3rd tier levels. Didn't really sparkle at top level.
Taarabt was outstanding for a little period. He needed work horses to cover for his lack of any defensive abilities. Burned bright and burned out all too soon.
Not only did we praise Stan for his ability to best a man and his goals, but its overlooked how hard he worked for the good of the team. A team that narrowly missed out on a League title. |

I wouldn't bet on it.
We have to pay 6 of the top 7. Do you really think Sky aren't going to show many of them? [Post edited 6 Feb 18:13]

I'd be amazed if we make top 6. I'd be content if we can get 60 points and a top half finish. |

We've tended to recruit youngsters, both in the Summer and January. We need to retain/recruit some experience to balance the team.
For that reason, I'd want to keep Cook, provided its a 1 year deal(+ 1 Yr option?) on reduced wages,i.e. more in line with our average. The rest, other than Dunne, can go. [Post edited 5 Feb 17:58]

As expected Blackburn came back into it 2nd half, but Rangers did more than enough. If we'd been 2 up at HT it would have been a lot more comfortable.
Edwards looks classy, Chair back to form, Frey led the line well. Add in Saito and Smyth out wide and we offer many threats .
13th and only 3 off the playoff places, albeit having played an extra game and a crappy GD. |

We've been excellent. Edwards, Chair, Saito, Paal, Frey in particular. The only worry is that it is ONLY 1-0, when 2 or 3 would be a better refelction.
Expect BRFC to come at us more than they could in 1st half. |

As another overseas viewer, the streams are generally pretty good. I'm not convinced about 15 seconds cut sways to see a manager prowling the tech area while the game continues in the background.
Saying that, there is much more to watching live. The wider picture so you can see what players are doing off the ball, the elation when we score, the camaraderie among the fans. The banter with opposition.
I've managed 1/2 games per season in the flesh and I'd rather do that. But even travelling from France it would be a costly exercise. |

You can see the developing, in both senses, philosophy.
Edwards 21
Yang 18
Esquerdinha 18
Alex O'Brien 177
Vale 21
OK 2 are loans and not all will work out. However there is far more upside than down, given the ages.
Of course, we need to sprinkle some experience among the youngsters. Field, Chair and JCS have all extended deals. Now we need Dunne to sign a new deal. Then it would appear to be a superb set of transfer dealings. Having been let down so many times before, I'm feeling really optimistic. |

Agreed. Now its vital we get a deal that he can sign. If it includes exit clauses, so what. |
