Waghorn at the match today

Did he have his boots with him?

And Exeter are already deservedly league leaders by putting the Wyc*#>$s at the bottom of the table by 2 goals in the first 5 minutes 😆

Technically, whatever the score Wigan will be bottom tonight, but your hearts in the right place 😉

No Waghorn in the squad 🥲

Not in Blackpool's either 😅

Didn't know whether to put this under the Transfer Forum 😉 

You can't be to sure these days and PW did say we looked a light light in midfield...

Actually shows a little bit of pace for a couole of goals in the below video...

 

Would give us a huge threat on set pieces with Bradley as well

Looks decent, not sure about his lack of beard/tattoos, he'll have to work on that.

Sign him up Paul!

My only concern is he looks as though he has more of a marathon runner physique, his arms look a bit scrawny for lifting trophies at the end of the season...

Well I have been keeping up with everything and yeah a lot of it I had seen before, but it was still an enjoyable watch.

Love to see the passion from PW, drilling into the players to give their all for their family and friends. 

Hopefully we can get off to a good start, with a full stadium behind us we'll be tough to stop.  A few good early wins will make us even more attractive for potential signings as well.

He's going to Millwall?!?

FFS, I blame Mel Morris.

Oooh keepie uppies whilst answering questions, thats like proper multitasking - just added another £1m to his asking fee 😛

Interesting to hear him almost admit that if we don’t get promoted this season then he could get sacked . We need stability and whilst he has been brought in as a League 1 promotion ‘expert’ I don’t want to see us changing mangers if we don’t manage it this season- much of the team still isn’t his and it will take another year to get that to that point - maybe a bit longer .

Absolutely.

Unless this season goes completely pear shaped, imho he will deserve at least one more season with our full budget, rather than shopping in the EFL sanctioned bargain basement bin.

Enjoyed that - PW seems like a decent bloke and someone you'd have a great night out with at the pub.  Some won't like his informal chatty nature but it was far better than some media trained stale interview.

On the professional side he sets the standards around the club, seems to know the sort of characters he wants to work with and demands they work hard.  I just hope we can get him the 2 or 3 more players he needs to have a real good go at promotion. 

Listening to Radio Derby it sounds like the ball is in Waggys court - he knows where he stands in PWs plans and how much we're prepared to pay him. 

This season will be the first in god knows how many that I haven't renewed my season ticket (I've moved and its a 300 miles round trip).  Given the last major game I missed was the play-off final vs West Brom I fully expect it to be a successful season 😛 

There seems to be a bit of preseason apprehension and pessimism around but I honestly think we'll do okay with the squad we've got (assuming Waggy signs).  We could obviously do with 2 or 3 more players but Warne knows that and it won't be for the want to trying if we don't get them. 

It was only just over a year ago that we nearly lost everything, we've made a lot of progress in the meantime - I think sometimes people forget/expect too much.  Whether it ends in promotion or not, another season of progress will do for me, after which we're free of all EFL restrictions and back competing with our full resources.

Said it earlier, it’s great to see more than one white shirt in the box as that peach of a cross is swung in

Nice move, tidy finish.  But I prefer him not scoring.  We've never won when he's scored... 😛

I remember he takes a decent free kick. Did we score from any direct free kicks last season?

Rooney, Rooney!  Oops, I mean Waggy, Waggy!

Mentions Waghorn training with us

I spend a lot of time in preseason, assembling my squad and setting up training schedules, tactics and match plans. 

I generally watch match highlights throughout the season, although with big games I'll take a bit more interest to give myself the best chance of getting the right result. You can fix a lot during the match if you watch carefully.

All very laudable but you talk about vast infrastructure projects as if you could pop round to IKEA and put them together over the weekend. 
I am dubious about taxing energy companies excessively. That looks at it the wrong way round .. the point should really be that they should - by law - be reinvesting those profits in building the very infrastructure you suggest. What’s gone wrong with utility companies is this : utilities should provide low yield but very safe investment. Letting them be private is absolutely fine but the regulations and laws around what they do do with profits have been insufficient. Letting them split retail and production apart is destabilising. 

Exactly, you can't keep loading cost and restrictions on the working classes whilst the elites swan around in their private jets and yachts telling us we must do more.  I'm all for doing something about the climate but the constant hypocrisy and armageddon coverage just turns me off, furthermore it will make people vote against green policies. 

Taxing profits so the costs aren't passed onto the consumer would be a good place to start.  Taxing elites their fair share would be another.

I have no interest in the opinions of Harry Winsdor or Emma Thompson on this subject, or any subject really, but one point worth mentioning is that the 'net' zero that all these people are talking about doesn't necessarily mean zero CO2 emissions. Emissions can be offset by planting trees, both in the UK and elsewhere and potentially by various carbon sequestration practices and technologies in the future.

So the rich get to jet around the world in their private jets cos they can afford it, whilst the average Joe gets stung for his £12.50 Ulez fee daily, contained to his 15 minute city scratching his head how he can now travel to work to try and find the extra £15k for the new heat pump he's gotta have installed?

Is private jet fuel still tax free?  Perhaps the elite could stop acting like the utter hypocrites they start paying their fair share before we cripple the working classes further with enormous debt and livelihood restrictions.

Sorry but I'm also past caring now... I still do my bit, I do the right thing where possible but the wall to wall climate armageddon coverage is just too much - especially when most of it is done for profit.

How many would a good striker score?

25

But we either need to find another Didzy or spend more money than we've got.
