Someone please tell me what a old fogie has a clue about what is going on in the world with real issues other than what The Daily Mail tells them?

Re: 2024, hoodwink and bamboozle the public

Tango, if younger folk are voting for things like an end to university fees and older folk are voting for triple lock pensions what is the difference? Might not make sense to each other, but they are valid things for each to vote for. I'd vote for different things now than I would 30 years ago, and ...

Re: Should I(E) stay or should I(E) go?

As long as some bugger is lurking in the background organising some ace signings before Rotherham scoop them all up. Not sure I can cope with a summer of Insano reeling off all the names Rotherham have signed that turns them into Pep's Citeh.

Re: Our formation

I've posted a few times that I think we're trying to do too much and need to simplify. Therefore I'm in agreement. Where I'm in agreement with Insano is that you have to get the basics right. We're clearly not getting the basics right often enough and I think the reason is we're trying to do too muc...

Re: Should I(E) stay or should I(E) go?

Herein lies the rub. If Evatt doesn't fly out of the blocks to the top the table and stay there then it'll be "off with his head" from a decent section. However, if the club sticks with him this summer they really need to commit to a season of his leadership - bar a true travesty. This is why we ne...

Re: Tooling up: The summer 2024 transfer thread

Every expert who talks about us (managers, techy pundits, etc) praise Evatt's press. I'm not wasting time on that topic. If you think the whole of football is wrong then I'm hardly going to convince you otherwise. My issue though is all well and good having an ace press, but if half the team is sha...

Re: Should I(E) stay or should I(E) go?

Not sure anyone, anywhere, ever has said that Evatt should carry on as he is. I've repeatedly said he needs to change. I can't speak for all stay-voters, but I'm confident they all think the same to a greater or lesser extent. There's a serious conversation to be had, and it'd be lovely if it start...

Re: Should I(E) stay or should I(E) go?

I suspect we'll have to give it a couple of weeks before we see anything coming out of the Bolton camp. The fact we've not heard a peep suggests they care very little about dealing with the backlash that fans have brought. Had it been that performance and result in the trophy final with games left ...

Quick thought.

If we went back-4 and signed Ashworth, are people then happy with that one?
I'm happy with Ashworth generally. He's mostly done well when he's played.

Re: Tooling up: The summer 2024 transfer thread

On Ogbeta, if you tell me he's effectively number 2, he's young and I assume they think coachable, I'm sorta ok (albeit he seems much more LW than WB). Undoubtedly games where the defensive side might be less paramount where he can get game time... I'm generally happy with Randall, but he looks lik...

Re: Tooling up: The summer 2024 transfer thread

I'd like to see the following: Improvement on backup keeper. He got better over time, but I don't trust him if Baxter is out for more than the odd game. A couple of wing backs that aren't half arsed in defence, whilst offering something going forward. 2 midfielders. 1 that will get about and help Th...

Re: Should I(E) stay or should I(E) go?

I'm a little conflicted as I probably land somewhere near Pru in that we're not far away with a some personnel changes and a different approach/setup.
