In theory our aim this season is promotion or, the playoffs at the very least. Yet this doesn't feel like the beginning of a season where we're pushin...

With Payero out the door and the Spence saga drawing to a close, we presumably have all our major out goings gone. Hall, Akpom and Ikpeazu remain in t...

Bit of an odd one this. Towards the end of the season, he started to play RWB but he's primarily a defensive right back or right-sided centre-back. De...

It is early days yet but Wilder seems to have embarked on a massive overhaul. Keepers. Out - Lumley, (Daniels). In - Roberts. Can't tell if Robert...

Also on the necro front, it appears that I was channeling Wilder before I knew about it.

I was looking for something and found this. It appears that I did indeed know more about football than Warnock...

I like it; clean and simple. The grandad collar is a nice touch but I am a bit of a fan of grandad collars. There's a slightly retro tracksuit top o...

Assuming Spence is sold for 12-20m depending on the rumours that is probably the second best outcome we could have had. The best outcome would have be...

I believe he's right-footed. According to transfermarkt he played 41 times at centre back on the right and twice as a right-back. Currently that imp...

Huddersfield brought in a lot of players, they just didn't pay anything for them. According to Wikipedia they brought in 17 players in total (12 free ...

I was thinking about "generations" of managers. Chris Wilder at 54 years old is pretty much of the same generation as Tony Mowbray and Steve Bruce. Th...

Andy, To be honest, I can't decide if Wilder over-achieved, under-achieved or average-achieved. Looking at the championship Warnock's last 17 mat...

I was reflecting a bit on what comes next because I am increasingly feeling that there is a clash of philosophies between Scott and the aim of a Brent...

Be well Ken. This wouldn't ever happen for power dynamics and personal pride. Wilder would, rightfully, think that this is a power play by someone...

Well scuttlebutt is that all of the obvious players who are surplus to requirements are welcome to leave plus Payero, Bola and Wood. It's a particular...

Perhaps one place to start is to recognise that this year we finished 7th on 70 points. This is the second season of improvement in a row. 19/20 - 1...

Listening to Wilder's interview, I think he has doubts too. I think if all our players were at least the standard of the ones I listed, then yes, I...

Well it was a step too far. When the chips were down, we folded. That said, we ended the season roughly where we deserved to be and even if we had hav...

I haven't been there but I was in Berlin for the first time in 2019 and went to the Topography of Terror museum there. It charts the Nazi rise to pow...

As the season comes to a close I thought I would rate our transfer dealings this year. Lumley. D. Too many mistakes. I supported him for a long time...

Thanks to Andy for putting his left foot in to start this off. We're in cup run mode now. Win 3 games, get promoted. Nothing else matters. Of course...

Didn't get to see or follow the game live so nothing much to add. The consensus was that the performance was flat but Cardiff were poor. Looking ba...

I think Cardiff is too soon for Payero to start; he hasn't played 90 minutes for about 5 months and he hasn't exactly proved himself yet. I also think...

I think McNair is our best left-sided centre back but he is hampered by playing on his wrong foot. He *may* be a better right-sided centre-back than D...

Warnock tried it with indifferent results. Crooks doesn't really show the instincts to play as a striker; like a very tall Connolly with better hair. ...

Thanks for another solid opener. The match really is win or go home. I don't know how crocked Tav is but it will be asking a lot of Payero to make a f...

I was looking back at our AK promotion season summer window. At the time, the consensus was that it was really strong and we would comfortably stay up...

It's not quite over but the fat lady is definitely clearing her throat. In the abstract, a point away at Swansea who are on their best run of the s...

Spence players narrower and further back than Jones. When attacking he tends to be on or around the corner of the 18 yard box. Jones plays further for...

I think it's pretty clear that if he had been out of a job he would have jumped at the Burnley job and would have pushed himself forward for all the P...
