I'm not a fan but if Barkhuizen isn't fit to start, then maybe wing backs may be the answer

Tonight was so bad, I started wistfully daydreaming of Bradley returning in a back 3.

That 75/76 was an aberration and we would dominate the following seasons.

We can't go into another game with Sibley and CBT down one flank. It made me want to scratch my eyes out with a rusty nail.

Certain players going missing and not offering options was the most disappointing aspect, because that is a choice. Bad passing etc is annoying but still mistakes. Players like Cashin and NML left on the ball too long as teammates disappear.

Our only consolation is that this isn't on Sky Sports so we aren't embarrassed in front of a wider public.

What an appalling game of football. They are abject and we are trying to do our best to match them. So disjointed, dreadful passing and control. The linesmen are on crack. Collins has touched the ball twice and if CBT can play for Derby then anyone who can run 100m in under 12 seconds can too.

Yes. Sshhhh

Hold on. Some things our parents told us were true. Maybe it's just a Sheffield thing.

Looks like Bird and Barks may be on the bench. That would be a massive boost, especially if Ward is out.

Wildsmith has his own Bermuda Triangle about 16 yards out on the left hand edge of the box. You could put a hankie over the 2 penalties and the handball.

The word on the street is the umpires weren't happy with our groundsmen and their lack of cooperation and effort.

I think there have been some optimistic answers to my question. In terms of starting regularly for a top half (7th to 12th) championship team, we only really have Cashin as a long term prospect. There is probably another season in NML, Nyambe and Nelson before they become bench/squad players at that level. Adams (if signed), Barkhuizen, Ward, Wilson, Collins, Gayle, Wildsmith, Fozzy and Elder could all be bench/squad players at that level. Tommo, Sibley, Vickers and CBT would all be bench/squad players in a bottom half (13th to 18th) team. We need 6 good players not to be involved in a relegation scrap next season and maybe 10 to be a top half team.

I would have loved it to be Fozzy, but I like it to be Bird. His last touch in a Derby shirt.

Yes. I drink Bomonti Filteriz if just faced with the standard beers.

Did my annual pilgrimage to Dalyan in Turkey and there is now a micro brewery nearby called Gara Guzu. So instead of bland Efes I've been drinking porters, IPAs, Amber's and Winter Ale. Not Belgian quality but a massive improvement on the usual fare

All good advice. I would add if you go to Belem for the custard tarts, go to the cafe next door to the shop. Costs 10 pence more but you don't queue for 20 minutes. Belem also has a nice Fort on the riverfront with a museum next to it. Cascais can reached by tram and train and is a lovely beach resort. If you like nice beer there is a beer cafe on the NW corner of the main riverside square. The trams are great with about 10% of them being the old vintage ones. If you see one, jump on for a couple of stops just for the experience.

That Uncle Derek had a pet snake that spat at you if you stroked it too much.

As Cashin is still regarded as a young player, he will wun that at a canter, so I've gone Nelson for POTS as he's been good all year long If Collins, Forsyth and NML hadn't got injured or run into the ground they'd have been in the running too. Then there's Adams. If he'd been here all season, playing like this, he'd have won comfortably

Are we at the stage that we want Posh to do quite well so they still have a chance v Bolton

There are 4 motivations Length of contract x weekly wage Level to play at Geography Happy with club, teammates and coach On that basis, if Geography works, I think he would come from Cardiff, if we go up and a fee is agreed. Lots to fall into place.

As starters or squad players? In a top half championship team?
