After all that we are still just about in this. Knock last two over quickly and then for me it needs one of the openers to anchor the innings. Good game again though.

Dropping too many catches though.

When can we talk about Joe Root - both as a batsman and a captain? When would you like to talk about Joe Root? Averaged 43 V West Indies, 45 against South Africa, 76 against New Zealand...he did dip around 2018 to mid to late 30's...but we're sort of past that bit now. His last 3 series he's scored...

The benefits of a good spinner are being seen here......

He adds versatility can play CB or RB/LB in a back four which we might not play much but might sometimes. I think it’s shrewd. Experienced and knows Evatt. Have to say the club have absolutely excelled this summer. Getting a new management team squad together with more than a month to go and absolu...

Is that it? Are we done now? I haven't previously heard of a single one of them, let alone know where they play or where they're all from, so I very much look forward to flicking the kettle on and pawing my way through DSB's list when it's up to snuff. ;) I suspect we still want one or two more...c...

Hmmm :? A RB? We already have an RB in Brockers. I wonder if Evatt doesn't rate Brockers to adapt in to a wingback yet fancies Hickman capable of playing there? we shall have to wait and see I suppose. This does feel like Brockers will be going out on loan though :| There is no way on gods earth th...

Never really been keen on Delfounso he has ability but only occasionally translates it into end product. He’s very hit and miss. But interesting to see how he translates into league two. Pace and power up front are useful and with Doyle it might just be a magic partnership.

Thankfully 'missed out' on Spearing, who's going to Tranmere. Lazy little swine. Have to say - I never understood the outcry on social media for us to sign Spearing - he was ok whilst here but we signed him in the championship but he was never in reality that level of quality. I thought he looked a...

Whilst based on their backgrounds our new recruits could be fairly described as a rag-tag bunch, from the interviews DSB has sourced it looks clear that they all possess good characters, which I know IE values extremely highly. Given where we're recruiting from, it's inevitable that a good few of t...

I fancy Edwards is starting the season on loan somewhere. Not just Edwards. I make that 22 of our 23 embargo squad slots filled, unless folk go on loan. And so far we've got two forwards and two wingbacks... Under 21’s who haven’t made 5 first team starts don’t count, does that take out a couple? A...

feck me, are our "position specific" moneyball attributes for a centre back "minimum height ≥ 9'0"?!

Finally a manager who listens to my huge bank of wisdom...

No point bothering with small centre halves, waste of time...(Simon Charlton excepted).

Would anyone be averse to Baptiste returning as I reckon he could still do a job as a dedicated CB? Although he wouldn't be first choice for me.

I think he'd make a lot of sense experience wise. If he's fit enough that is. I mean he would be (assuming fit) a class above league 2....

Being strongly linked by Pete O Rourke with Gethin Jones...yeah me neither...right back apparently....
