Plenty of young managers have got promoted out of this division. Two of them this season (Mousinho and Buckingham). Two last season (Schumacher and McKenna). Leam Richardson the seaosn before that. This desire to run into the safe arms of a grizzled older man is all a bit reactive (as well as reacti...

I'm not sure, simply because I've never seen him there. TBH I've not seen a vast amount of him at LWB either. In what I did see, he didn't scream "title-winning left-back stranded in the wrong system". Iredale, Johnston, Ashworth and Williams. We weren't good enough down that flank this season and ...

Quick thought. If we went back-4 and signed Ashworth, are people then happy with that one? I think I would be, yes. I'm not sure, simply because I've never seen him there.

I like Ogbeta personally, but I would like to see us sign a next-level WB on both sides. We knew last summer we needed one on the right - hence K*ne W*lson - and I think we need a Randell rival on the left. Whether Oggy's that, I dunno.

Of course, if we're switching to a back four....

Dave Sutton's barnet

A switch to a 4-3-3 hinders Johnston, Dion and Santos. Randell would become a winger. Our fullback options would be Cogley, Iredale and Jones as things stand. Your front 3 is probably Vic, Collins and CMG. Midfield is Thommo, Sheehan and Dempsey. Back four would be Iredale, Johnston, Toal and Cogle...

^^ I think for me, Bertie, if he's going to go, either under his own steam or otherwise, we just need it to occur quickly. We've been told plenty that a minority or just a few not rights want him gone, but this little survey (obviously not statistically representative) suggests there might be a few...

We've been told plenty that a minority or just a few not rights want him gone, but this little survey (obviously not statistically representative) suggests there might be a few more wanting change than we're led to believe... That's why I did the poll, to assess the general feeling including among ...

Simple question for those who are (understandably) asking for a back four: who's your one central striker, in either the 4-3-3 or the 4-2-3-1? If it's Charles, and let's be honest he's easily our best source of goals, how does that help the total lack of 'stickability' we saw on Saturday? If it's no...

Simple question. What do you think?

Dave Sutton's barnet

On the Evatt criticism, I hear what you say regarding players on the pitch to sort it, but I often wonder where the balance is between them taking an "executive decision" (like 2 8's dropping deeper) vs what they've been told to do through the week. It's not like the manager isn't right there next ...

Dave Sutton's barnet

OK. We need four players for next season. Who are they, or what types?

Dave Sutton's barnet

That was awful. Properly, properly awful. Oxford fans on the tube platform were genuinely mystified by "how shit" we were. They were not alone at all. Tactically... sheesh. Our back three didn't have the stones to pass it forward, but in their (ha) defence they didn't have anybody to pass to. Why? •...

Can I pre-book a seat please. I'm hoping no family will visit between 2 and 5 0'clock. Any other time, yes, but that's taboo..

Barnsley release Devante Cole (29), Jordan Williams (24), Robbie Cundy (26), Herbie Kane (25) and Nicky Cadden (27). Feels like they're battening down the financial hatches. Sunderland release Corry Evans (33), Bradley Dack (30), Jack Diamond (24) and Ellis Taylor (21). Preston release Greg Cunningh...

Tickets sorted - the Mighty Flanners treating me for my 50th birthday (it was, you may recall, the day after the first leg). We will, obviously, be tracing precisely the same transport route we did for the Pizza Cup final, and indeed sitting in very similar seats (they were level with 18-yard line, ...

Joe Allen worth a look in midfield? Might be a bit long in the tooth now...

Not sure about that - was only quoting re Ogbeta - but now you mention it, Przemyslaw Placheta has been mentioned by Ghost as a potential attacking LWB option.
