    I'm trying to understand how now it ever managers regularly watch(ed) players they were interested in signing with any degree of frequency. We've played Tuesday/Saturday almost weekly since Mellon arrived and Tuesdays and Saturdays are when most players we might have been interested in were probably playing

    What were the circumstances of him leaving his last position? He gives every indication that he's had enough of the whole caboodle.

    He appears to optimise this team? That's a bad thing?

    Get out of jail free card

    A rousing something off

    I think we watched it in a pub Blackfriars Station. As I recall it barely reached the goalkeeper.

    It's taken over 40 years but Graeme Sharp's penalty against Leeds (?) is no longer the worst effort from the spot that I've ever seen. Thank you Bernardo Silva for erasing that from the record book.

    in England?

    Who has done that?

    Couto is nearer 21 than 19. I recall him being linked with much higher clubs when he first appeared but presumably he was well scouted and nothing came of that. I've no idea if he's good enough but it's entirely feasible that the chaos at management level when he first got into the first team may have stunted his progress,

    And he's not a teenager

    That we may recruit players that are seen as an upgrade but until they get out on the pitch and prove it the jury will be out. There was very little criticism of any of the signings over the last 20 months, until they played...

    In theory. I'll still bear in mind that the arrival of most of this group was broadly welcomed

    Although if they hadn't sacked twelvety managers he'd never have had the chance

    Isn't it just that only two clubs use Statsbomb rather than only two clubs use stats. Other brands are available...

    Arssnal's scouting might be shown up to be hilariously inept this summer. They are rumoured to be buying out Viktor Gyokeres' for €100m. The same player who moved from Coventry last summer for a fifth of that.

    They can't really take the chance though given the stage of the season

    From a relatively cursory examination of league rules the only possible sanction for Halifax if they hadn't been able to fulfil the fixture at all is a fine of between £2,500 and £10,000. They do have an obligation to have a pitch that is fit for purpose but there is no specific sanction for not doing so. The rules in that section are more about the pitch itself rather than its condition at any particular time.

    That's not up for debate

    I don't believe for a single second that the last couple of months is all down to the quality of the squad, not for one second. If that was the case no way would they have gone in the run that took us 5th and looking nailed on for the play offs. Something happened.

    Defence is weaker than midfield?
  22. Dave_Og
    Will it? Is there anyone out of contract that we'd want to keep?
  23. Dave_Og
    Yep, maybe - but can't see a Reid connection? That's a whole season for me without seeing a win
  24. Dave_Og
    It happened at Christmas

    I bet it won't be
