Yes. The first thing McDermot did was get stuck in to try to rob the ball off a couple of players. I said to a mate that he was carrying on where Gilmour had left off.

The worm of time turns not for the cuckoo of circumstance.

Unless Rodney goes, it’s doubtful we will be bringing in another striker and nor should we be doing in our current financial position. Unless it’s a young player loanee who we will contribute very little of his wages, it’s not a move we should be looking at.

The actions of other clubs who would continue to build squads whilst it was obvious they couldn’t afford it is something that has been rightly criticised in the past. Until it’s made crystal clear there would be no longer term impact on the club’s future, we have to stick to our budget. Maybe even reduce it.

Also, we have to allow Mitchell to develop in that role. He obviously has the attributes and needs to be allowed to see how he can get better. Two goals in four games isn’t bad either. The option to play Sinclair/Uchegbulum centrally as well as Henderson and Rodney means a move for anyone else really can’t be justified at the moment. Especially when we can only choose five subs.


If anyone leaves,especially for cash money, you would imagine that the MRKT system will identify a number of potential replacements. I envisage them having a big spreadsheet with 4 or 5 possible players for each position each based on the requirements McNulty has given. This scenario is far better than starting the search from scratch every time we lose a player to another club. Hence the arrival of East and McDermott so soon after Ball and the lad from Stockport left. If this approach is being continually amended and updated, we will know what the next steps are before we need to take them....It is a huge step forward for a club of our size and resources, and the more it identifies players that " fit" the better we will become, with better sell-ons and less wastage. A virtuous cycle... see Brighton for details!

I must admit, i'm coming round to the idea

I was a huge sceptic at first, wondering if the board were throwing money we didn't have at something their successive appointments had failed at, and at great cost. In addition, their choice of manager seemed to require compliance with this system of identifying players which had BJ written all over it rather than someone demanding independence

Nothing is definitive as yet, we're a work in the early stages of progress, but i'm just a bit more inclined to take a more optimistic view based on what we're seeing so far

The five subs thing is a real disappointment for me. I fully understand it, with the smaller squad sizes in this league, but I do wonder how much hindrance it will mean for the careers of Oscar Kelly, Dos Santos et al.

Hmm. I hadn’t considered that. And no “tinpot” cup games for us to rotate fringe players will make their inclusion even harder.
