I think it’s backfired us not playing some more youngsters now in this competition. We’ve learnt nowt from playing our first team players and now don’t have a final to fall back on. This was an ideal time to sound out the Weston’s, Robinsons, Browns and Fapetu. 
The league was always the priority, but a final would’ve been nice. This was an ideal opportunity wasted to give some U18s/23s a go.

Unfortunately Sibley may be one. He’s a shadow of what he was 3 years ago. Such a shame.

He made comments like that all of last summer and all we got was a broken John-Jules at the end of the window 

In fairness it did look like Collins was about 3 yards offside 

Watched the new Ricky Gervais special last night on Netflix.
If I listed my top 20 comedy specials of all time, I think possibly all of his previous ones would be in there. And Animals and Politics would be in the top 3, but this felt like it was rushed at best and a cash grab at worst.
The material felt old and rehashed, and the constant need to explain himself (Jimmy Carr has started doing this, so maybe on a deeper level they are fearful of being taken literally) was a bit tiring.
There were some funny bits with the cultural appropriation joke very funny and clever, but I'm not sure I need to see him use the handjob action in any more specials. It was very funny the first time and pretty funny the second time, but now it feels/looks more like a metaphor for him milking the Netflix coffers.
I still love the guy and will watch his next one because even comedians have bad days at the office.

I think people need to stop panicking about overspending. We’re never going to do that now. 
I hope plans haven’t changed. We made the mistake last year thinking we had enough, and didn’t. We need a wide man and a centre forward as a minimum. If those 2 are quality, I’ll be happy with just that. We need to be ruthless in the second half of the season. Top 2 is on. It’s up to us to smash it.

A good win and the perfect away performance for the first hour. We looked the real deal today, good to see.
A word on Barkhuizen. He’s good, but abysmal at finishing. He needs to be chipping in with 8-10 goals a season. He’s awful in this department. For me, this is a priority position on Jan. Wilson has been superb, but he’s a converted wingback playing higher up, he doesn’t look comfortable scoring either. Our wide players should be chipping in more. Hopefully Warne brings someone in to help this area.
Great win though, Cashin and Nelson imperious. Class acts at this level. 

Sibley needs to do better. He’s been very average this season I’m afraid and I’m a big fan. His emergence under Cocu seems a long time ago. If he’s not careful, he’ll have a Marc Bridge Wilkinson/ Callum Guy type career rather than a top top player. Still better than all of us can muster, but it’d be a big disappointment if that is the case. Unfortunately he’s not really pulling up any trees against poor league 1 teams. He’s lost that bite that made him such a talent. It’s been coached out of him and his confidence looks shot. 
 
Having said all that, Hourihane and Smith were awful in midweek. Warne needs to realise that this balance isn’t a great one. What Hourihane was doing for the second goal I’ll never know. He had acres of space and made a shocking pass then a feeble attempt to win it back. So poor.

Completely disagree. He had acres of space to run into.He didn’t need to pass, he had options.  He was under absolutely zero pressure. He had team mates both sides or forward and the pass to Forsyth was a simple one. It was terrible play by Hourihane. Real schoolboy, lazy football. 

I agree with you regarding the frustration at Sibley's lack of a proper run in the team to show what he can do as a regular starter.
However this is not a new issue, it's been going on under every manager since Cocu. At some point us Sibley-ites might need to look at the man himself rather than the manager(s), unfortunately.

It is pretty pathetic blaming it on health and safety though. A slip hazard apparently, especially when granted permission. I’m not one of those ‘we all know the real reason’ by the way. It’s just pretty lame and a sad reflection of health and safety gone mad.

No way is this season a ‘free hit’. I’m surprised anyone thinks this. Warne has had all of last season to assess the squad and stamp his authority on the team/club. Regardless of any business plans, we have to get play offs this season as a bare minimum. Failure to do that and it should be bye bye. 
The longer you stay in League 1, the harder it becomes to get promoted. We’d lose Bird, Cashin etc and replace them with more mediocre signings. We’ve never been in this league for longer than 2 seasons in 139 years. I don’t think we should start accepting that prospect either. It’s a poor league this year, unfortunately, so far we’re equally as average. Here’s hoping things pick up.
