It's much cheaper to rebuild when players have left at no cost obviously. The days of paying up players contracts are gone hopefully.

On the other hand, if we do go up this season, short contracts on players not quite at Championship level is a good thing.

Yeah, I hear ya

Warne has one job, to get us out of this league. It doesn't have to be pretty.

The Pizza Triangle, 1970 Italian production, an absurd romantic tragicomedy as only Italy could produce. Wonderful, melodramatic, hysterical, passionate, confusing and hilarious. A woman falls for a man and his blowfly, until suddenly there appears a heart shaped pizza and it's oft spitting baker culminating some months later.. I just love Italian weirdness, it is so honest in it's cruelty and passion. Not for everyone, but if you've got an odd streak in ya, give it a try. Worth it for Marcello Mastroianni's weird looking head close ups alone. 7.5 on the bizarre Richter

This is great news for the club, much needed money coming in and player available until end of season.

The Killer on Netflix. Warning, spoilers ahead. To think that people place good money for a crappy script is beyond me. It' s understandable that a decent actor would take the job, for exposure, but it's not indicative of a discerning choosy mind, or ambition for that matter. Cinematically it's not bad, there is a nice realistic fight scene in it, but that's the only thing good about this film. The main character is poorly developed, he claims to not give a duck, yet has a woman he cares about, a weakness in his profession and this woman has a brother in the know as well, another weakness. His philosophy of life and the universe is absurd, even for a psycho. He knows all technical solutions to a problem, has multiple aliases, can get into any space, yet believes in an endless void out there and no consequences for wickedness. Now, what annoys me most. When a man in the back seat of a car pulls a gun on a driver, the driver cannot do as the man orders, he must increase speed and stay in traffic, or he is a dead man, under no circumstances will he pull into a secluded lot and park there. His only hope is keeping some control of the situation, crashing the vehicle if need be, or preferably dealing with the killer to jump out at speed at a corner so as both don't have to die that day. A killer sits across from you in a fine restaurant pointing a gun under the table. The waiter sees that man, as do the assistants clearing the table. One must not leave with this man, if he kills you, there are witnesses he must also dispose of, creating a messy risky scene for the killer. I could bore you with more, but won't. 4.5, if not for the fight scene, a 3.

Murder On The Orient Express. Have seen all the versions, this one is disappointing, stylish but lacking. Great actors there, some with minimal roles, others should have had minimal roles instead, but one was rightly given lots of scenes, the fantastic Michelle Pfeiffer who drags this film all by herself up from a 5 rating to a 6.5.

Robinson, Weston and Bartley standouts so far for me. Hawkins needs to find his space in midfield. Missing Jeffcott, injured I suppose?

It's how many he scores that counts

Our midfield is nonexistent, Collins is no goalscorer, just gets lucky often, Bird hides all game long, Warne is not fit for Sunday league, we won in spite of our players. Am I doing this right?

Never in doubt?

Who has the captain's armband now?

Unless the opposition loads 5 in midfield, it usually is enough to adjust the line to get the central midfield better involved. It amazes me how often that need seems overlooked by managers.

Jeffcott has the physicality and mentality to get minutes in the first team at left back

Yes and it gets worse, the more I think of it. What is a thing, a something? How can we define it? Is a concept a thing? If so, then nothing is a thing and therefor..

Just thought of something while tossing and turning unable to sleep. Some of the trickier questions in certain tests can best be solved if worked from back to front, or it's opposite. We are all familiar with the statement nothing will come from nothing and it does make sense that it is factual, as we cannot extract something from nothing, well, in this perceived reality anyway. In itself it is an observant statement but not really inducing extrapolation at first consideration. That's where insomnia helps, one keeps pondering, stuck in a thought and voila a new idea emerges thereby insuring one gets no further sleep. Yes, I am getting to the point. If indeed nothing will come from nothing, then asserting that something will come from something should also be a valid statement. That is a much more interesting idea really, for that means every thing has an origin and therefor that origin after origin stretches into infinity, for if not, it would begin with nothing, which it obviously cannot. Now, this means one of two things to my warped mind, either origin stretches out endlessly, or it forms a circle, biting it's tail so to speak and of course also has an origin. Either way, that reeks of programming, ergo a simulated reality in a simulated universe.

I think some of the over criticism sprouts from wishing for a different style of play that was but is no longer the reality. That kind of attitude sets a fan up for constant disappointment, while inducing attempts to criticize several aspects of current tactics and team philosophy with all guns pointed at Warne, of course. Constantly mentioning how this or that former manager had us playing is neither here nor there, is not helpful input as it is no longer the reality. We've got what we've got, why not make the best of that, eh? I only see the highlights and so I follow the match day thread and many a game we end up winning comfortably, the negativity displayed is quite astounding, doom apparently just around the corner. Then when we win comes the Never In Doubt comment that always brings a chuckle from me at least.
