Ghost of Clough

Tackles, interceptions, blocks, aerials won... Buchanan was out best full back in all categories last season. Only Wisdom beat him in clearances (limited game time at RB)
Include the CBs too and Buchanan still tackled the most and put the most blocks in.

He just paid out to let the team stay down south for a week. If money was that tight, they wouldn't have gone.

I'm struggling to believe Mel would be happy with us starting the season without a single senior CB

If you want tinfoil-hat made-up guesses, the EFL have decided that Rooney, Rosenior, Bucko etc also count as players of professional standing, because they could in theory come out of retirement and play again…

Are we a feeder team for Tamworth now? 

Yeah, but he only just turned 17. If it wasn't for Archie leaving in the summer, he'd still be deciding which position to play.

Still find it absolutely incredible that Rooney went with Forsyth over Buchanan last season.

Did Ravel complain about him to their local council?

Only if we can swap him for Bird, and even if Carroll is a free agent, it's still a swap deal!

The fella with a trainer business, amongst others, drove a Golf R at 17. Launched RamsFansTv too.

@G STAR RAM  sounds more convincing than Wet Steve.

Only one choice, @american ram. Unite the fan base, and invite us all to a hot tub party after each win.
 
Assistant managers
@Boycie well used to being a number two, his previous experience as a plumber could be handy when concourse toilets are blocked.
 @uttoxram75 supplies the biscuits and chases away fans back to the station to help crowd control.
Fan liaison officer.
@Beetroot, there's nothing this man hasn't heard before when it comes to complaints. Mostly because he's used most of them himself.

@Inverurie Ram
Get those indie tunes spinning.
Academy director.
@Ghost of Clough, knows more about the kids than anyone bar Wassall. 
@Stuniverse as assistant.
 
Head of I.T.
External appointment. 
I simply can't think of anyone on here who has displayed the required skills.
 
Bus Driver.
@bimmerman, takes a bend like Max Verstappen so I've read.
 
PA Sound Engineer.
@Pearl Ram.Bags of experience, and would be ready to turn down @Inverurie Ram's more out there choices.
 

I’m going with @Ghost of Clough, get the impression he has his head screwed on, great knowledge of the youngsters which would be handy given the current situation.
Assistant, the obvious choice would be @angierambut she knows I think she’s great and I couldn’t put her through the torture, so it would have to be @i-Ram, not because I think he knows owt, just figured it would add some banter into the dressing room whilst also dragging him away from the South coast and getting to some games. 

The Chelsea fixture appears to have been removed from the official site.
Ryan is the CB - has the tall gangliness of Tyrone Mings ?
I agree on Robinson. Always looked to get on the ball.
Plange plays RW and CF. We'll probably see him more on the wing this season due to having Duncan and Cybulski as CF options, whereas only Wilson and SThompson on the wing.
Team at the end was something like this, although I'm not sure on the actual arrangement of the attackers:
Roberts
Brailsford   Christie   Ryan   Moloney
Matthews   Robinson
Eze   Ebosele   Nicholas-Davies
Dixon

A penalty was the difference between them and our slightly under strength U23 side - JBrown, Williams, Dixon, LThompson, Wilson and Duncan all missing for one reason or another, but all would be strong contenders to start.
By age, Ebosele should only just be a 1st year pro alongside the likes of Solomon, Plange and Cybulski. Which left Cashin as the only player involved who is a 2nd year pro (don't forget he missed the first half of last season due to injury) and highlights just how young this U23 actually is.
Ryan, Moloney, Robinson, Nicholas-Davies, Eze and Dixon all finished the game, playing the last 20 mins, yet are only first year scholars (16 year olds)

Oops. Yeah, we have more depth at CM than anywhere else, so he'd have to miss out
I'd sell Marshall, which allows us to have Davies, Jagielka and Wisdom. We'd be able to sign an emergency keeper if Roos picked up an injury.

Yeah you missed off Ravel too but we have plenty of midfield options and his history doesn't warrant 1 of 4 spots going to him.
So you'd go with 2 CBs and Cashin as #3 then? Bit risky... I'd feel more comfortable throwing an inexperienced winger in if Lawrence or Joswiak were missing (Ebosele) plus Baldock can cover wide if needs be.
There's still the option, harsh as it sounds, to release J.Brown ? and/or Hutchinson if they're not considered close enough to being a Championship standard starter.

The benefits of hindsight ?
Saw this on Twitter:
If Mel Morris had bought 5 million pounds worth of Bitcoin instead of Jacob Butterfield in 2016 we’d now have a transfer kitty of 220 million pounds for this season…

It's good to see Sebagabo back on the teamsheet - I was begining to get a bit worried. It's also interesting to see him in a more advanced midfield role as he's mostly played as a DM when I've seen him in the past
