I can see a rationale for signing up Bamba on either a pay as you play or short term contract until the end of January. Having an experienced player w...

To give Warnock his due, he seems prepared to give Wing, Coulson and Spence a fair chance. He also seems prepared to have the team trained in 2-3 form...

Interesting to see that Warnock's saying he didn't sign Bahamboula because he was too similar to Sivi. It's probably a cute way of saying he wasn't go...

It's definitely looking a bit shallow. Payero is a wildcard; looks like he plays in Tav's best position. Our first choice for each position is prett...
