I do largely agree and think the idea of a wholescale rebuild is good.
However almost every decision around on field matters has been horribly short term. If we don’t go up this year the playing squad will have 0 saleable assets. There’s £3-£4m worth of young players out of contract in a year who we seem to have no thought or intention of selling. In three windows we’ve signed one player with resale potential and that’s only on a 2 year deal. Of course there’s pressure when every decision seems to be centred on promotion ASAP
So to me the on field stuff just doesn’t mesh with the off field stuff. Not really Warne’s fault I guess, more of a general rant, albeit I do think we are probably a bit too “all in” on him.

2 assists for Haydon Roberts as well

There is a difference between saying “I take responsibility” and actually taking responsibility.

To a degree you can’t legislate for individual errors but its a bit simplistic.
Two goals from crosses, one of which was an obvious error too. Then two from other errors. But we were all over the show with zero organisation for both, especially tonight’s. Then you have the 1 on 1 Wigan missed a minute after their first (one through ball and straight in), a 2 on 1 missed tonight where we lose the ball on the edge of their area, the player takes one player on and somehow they’re in.
We look horribly disorganised. It’s a new back 3 but I don’t really buy that as an excuse. Add that to weird stuff like Bird playing as an advanced midfielder (won’t go as far as saying it’s as a 10 but certainly doesn’t suit him and not sure why it’s happening) and I don’t see how anyone can say it isn’t concerning? Don’t really care about the cup but equally don’t agree with outright writing off anything that happens in it, especially when it means it’s 2/2 for home losses.

It is a complete mystery !

Last season’s three promoted teams lost 4 games between them at home

Not a number 10 and I hope to god we don’t continue to play him there when there’s bodies through the door

I like Bird a lot but I can’t help but think a really balanced midfield 2, out of Bird, Smith and Hourihane, should probably have Smith in. And Hourihane isn’t going to recoup a 7 figure sum (obviously). Smith and Hourihane is a slow pairing but Bird doesn’t solve that anyway.
If the striker hunt is proving to be a real issue, requiring a fee at least, I can understand a sale of Bird to fund it. But I don’t really like it.

Is your source happy you’ve revealed which team they work in?

I’m 27 and about the right age but unfortunately I am absolutely s*** at football so I think there is more to it

Think trust is the main thing. He is easy to sub, and leave out. Partly that is his own doing but he has also been allowed a much shorter leash than many others have had over the last few years. It probably only takes him having a bad half before he is out the team for 3-4 games.
I would like to see him trusted with a run of 10 or so games in midfield / at 10 / second striker and see how he does. Even after his performance at Oxford I think he was dropped about 2 games later.

I cannot see why a club would hold for 3 weeks for an additional 100-150k taking into account wages, cost in negotiation , potential injury,  a loss of a transfer target they may need cash in for.   Then come out 50-75 k better off.  Therefore, I think it entirely plausible that this tiny upgrade in offer with a minimal add on came about following our managers interview as a take it or leave it end game knowing they were in the drivers seat.
