….. more likely Coalville Town vs Nuneaton 😉

He can sign a pre-contract in Jan with clubs outside of the English football pyramid (clubs in Scotland, Europe etc.) if his contract is due to expire at the end of the season.

For clubs in the English leagues they cannot pre-agree deals with other England based players on expiring contracts until the May or June (think it’s something like the 3rd week in May) before the contract ends (typically June 30th). 

I’m not sure how the contract clause affects either of those scenarios, whether it has to be activated by a certain time or something 🤷🏻‍♂️ 

So he could possibly sign a pre-contract with Belgian side Union Saint-Gilloise, who are owned by Brighton owners…. Unless that has changed.

Get him gone before Clowes loses the Family Fortunes 

… let’s be honest, we actually need Colin for the rest of the season. That’ll give us time to reassess and will stop us lurching between frying pan and the fire

.. is it wrong to hope they get another goal so we can get someone in who can galvanise this squad and play to their strengths

 Warne doesn't seem to know what to do with technical forwards though, just wants crosses and big men then use a small man to to stretch things when required (Washington).

… and how’s that working out for us…?

What a painful watch… very little quality at all with no obvious game plan from us other than hope…

I can honestly say I’ve played in far better Sunday League games than what I’ve just witnessed.

Utterly depressing 😢

Hmm there are chances and chances 

…agreed, I would guess the Xg rating on those chances would have been off the scale

I watched the game and most of our play was counter attacking. We are fine when we can counter attack teams it’s when teams sit back we struggle under warnes tactics to break teams down. 
 

just never thought I would see the day we had to rely on counter attacking and worrying about what the opposition does. We should be at least having a different variety to our game 

A lot seems to be made of our play being mostly counter attacking. 

Whilst I agree that we don’t seem to dominate possession, there is an art in forcing mistakes and being quick in transition. 

Perhaps this might not suit the  ‘purists’ eye or those who perhaps watch too much Sky coverage of the Premiership, however Leicester City managed to runaway with the PL relying on just this style of play. 

Again, I’m not condoning it however, I do think we have the players who can play both possession based and also counter attacking football at this level. If might be part of PWs masterplan or then  again perhaps not.
 

Coaching staff of Simo Valakari,  Inigo Idiakez, Paul Simpson, Lee Carsley and Chris Powell … yes please 

On reflection only one of the goals four goals conceded could have been prevented by better positional play/ coaching

Mistake 1 - Howler by Bradley with an off balance backpass

Mistake 2 - Error/Misjudgement by Wildsmith

Mistake 3 - Elder not hearing LOUD shout from Vickers

Which leaves the one goal last night that had 3 centre backs in touching distance of the scorer who all failed to deal with the situation.

A game decided by two gifts…

Lots of pressure and half chances created by us.

Warne looks to be getting what he wanted in terms of more quality crosses but we didn’t win enough first or second balls from them. Whether that was down to us or the fact that  Wigan were resolute and crowded their box.

It’s a bit of a reality check but I’d rather have it now than later in the season.

Oh… Didzy on the score sheet for Notts County but not the fairy tale return he might have wished for

No nomination for GK..?

… Lee Camp anyone 🤷🏻‍♂️

In recent years we appear to be Bristol City’s feeder club… a sad sign of the times 😢 

Don’t get me wrong, Rovers deserved the point. However it was not in the refs gift to assist them. Very very harsh penalty and subsequent booking. 

Jack O’Connell…George Clooney..??

You do know we're not getting an international break?

Hahaha…that’s my fault for drinking at hopeful fountain of optimism ?

Give it a rest with the Warne bashing… whilst we had full squad available selection available we looked half a yard off the pace all over the pitch.. that is not down to Warne, the players are likely to be more fatigued than than other squads.

We need to avoid defeat against Peterborough and then recharge, regroup and emerge energised with drive, purpose and desire after the international break. 

Controversial decision aside, they had more hustle, bustle and desire in the second half with and without the ball. They controlled the game by not allowing us to settle for a moment.

Dobbin’s exhilarating runs look completely out of place in div 1. If his finish/final ball improves as much as the rest of his game has, he‘ll soon be on Dyche’s radar screen 

Genuine but random and stupid question….If we started a gofundme page to subsidise wages/ agents fees how would this sit under EFL rules ?

I’m relatively happy with his work rate and nuisance factor but he earns his money as a forward not a midfield player.

 I can’t believe with all the technology at their disposal that the coaching staff haven’t analysed his attacking positions.

He so often takes up positions that make him impossible to find. 
 

Just correcting that would make him more likely to score.

..agree 100% with this. I find it frustrating watching him invariably taking up positions between defenders and rarely does he seem to gamble on getting to the near post or in front of the defenders when we have the ball out wide.

Perhaps he needs showing the replays of NML recent goals where he attacks the near post and scores.

Totally agree with this Carl, of all of the players released in ‘recent’ times this Timi was one I was most surprised and disappointed with. Scholar of the year and subsequently released.

?… someone must have turned off the under soil heating over Christmas and forgot to turn it on again…

You've got me with this one... we're talking early-mid 90s? Released or joined another club?

Edit: you don't mean Martin Taylor?

Russell Hoult..??

I’ve just bought a match pass through I follow via Exeter feed which is much better quality and no stutter/pause… as much as I like the Rams TV commentary the feed is mildly frustrating
