Not seen the quotes about two pots for transfers? The business plan was part of the process of coming out of administration. It has agreed spending limits in. Do keep up

But it’s not DC’s budget it’s the EFL’s with restrictive structuring of - have this for loans and this for permanents. not to mention every deal has to structured, agreed between clubs and then approved by the EFL. An extra level of complexity not faced by other clubs

The EFL business plan is complex A loan pot of money, a permanent transfer pot of money. that cannot be cross subsidise each other Maybe just maybe other clubs know this and the structuring of deals to make them work is too much for most, plus EFL approval makes the negotiations less straight forward. I agree that buying for buying sake is stupid, we need better than we have on permanents as we are going to go up a division. i reckon most of our loan pot when the Blackett -Taylor (loan to permanent) so the ability to loan players reduced. Now we get into free agents and loans - can be as good as we’ve got, no need to be better, as good as we’ve got will cover for injuries and still get us promoted without having players not good enough for the championship on long contracts. anyway the EFL business plan ends this season so the next window is the real test of Warne and Clowrs in an unrestricted window

Not good enough for the championship

Could he be one of the players who trigger an extension if he plays more games? Im sure Warne said something about this in an interview. at the end of the day Wildsmith is too inconsistent to be first choice in the championship so would make sense if we don’t want to extend his contract

I reckon they know he’s leaving they’re just trying to push the price up or get us to commit to a purchase at the end of the season

That Packets team is scary good for their age/experience. Experience would have got them over the line against the 49ers. im looking forward to next season

Not necessarily. It could go down as the score at time of abandonment like Blackpool v Huddersfield when Blackpool fans stormed the pitch on 48 minutes

Perhaps it was uncertain as to the length of time that was going to be needed and or it may not have been just a medical emergency

By saying it’s done more you recognise that we tried it at times in the past. Perhaps that’s the real desire of Warne but we weren’t able to due player confidence, ability and fitness to keep playing that way for 90 minutes.

Has Warneball changed? Or are we just able to do it better and for longer now the players fitness has improved (as Rotherham fans told me it would under Warne) At times early season we pressed, we passed quickly and players attacked at pace, but it wasn’t maintainable for 90 minutes. This in my opinion lead to us sitting deep defending and appearing to not have a plan B or just hoof it Now we are fitter, can pressure and press for prolonged periods and attack at pace for the full 90 (generally) meaning Warnes desired style is what we are seeing.

He’s fitter were getting more crosses in hes scoring more goals Paul Warne needs credit

Was I actually being anti-warne though?

Always do

Doesn’t mean they won’t sell him - just means he can’t sign a pre-contract deal

How can he make last ditch tackles if someone outpaced him? You have to keep up to make a last ditch tackle

Anonymous for most of today, unforgivable not releasing Ward once he’d drawn the defender. He seldom shows end product (somehow Sibley provides even less)

Looks like I was right when I said once results turned the fans would stop being antiWarne. i predict that if we go three games without a win this thread will restart

Sibley is a waste of a shirt. Only thing today that disappointed me apart from the Ref and the sheer amount of space we have their Number 30. oh and bird and Hourihsnes anonymity in the first 45 Bird not releasing Ward on the break and the general ineptitude of the officials. None of them are Warne’s fault so I’m still pro Warne with 1 defeat in 10

This threads giving me goosebumps I remember B4’s first rallying calls in the days of the DET forum before we moved onto here. always so positive. Come on South Stand @therams69 get the south stand to give us a verse of “B4 is watching, helping them fight. Guiding our hero’s in the black and the white”

Simply put we’ve found ways to win games when we’ve played badly. yesterday we came back to win from 2 down - when was the last time we did that. don’t care how we do it, just got to keep winning

39 goals in 22 matches would indicate we have enough up top. Issues have been conceding sloppy in close games. Workhorses are required

Update the shirt has been claimed

Oh and I forgot the rule of three!! three times you’ll tell them to do something before they do never more than three instructions at a time never more than three bits of information at a time three pints is what they buy you when they turn 18 okay the last one is made up (the others are valid)

There isn’t a manual but my advice, based on nothing more than my own meandering experiences is as follows https://youtu.be/EcM3rexWLdk?si=6QQgZHzyiRtc0L61 seriously there’s some good advice in that. stay true to yourself, never undermine your misses in front of family or children or anyone but do address differences in opinion privately Never say “ My mum reckons you should …” do say “ take you’re coat off or you won’t feel the benefit” never go back on a sanction - I once “threw away” my sons entire collection of Pixar Cars toys when he refused to tidy them up - I did fish them out the bin while he was asleep and the good fairies returned them as a reward for keeping his room tidy.
