To be fair to Gibbo, with him we did at least get someone who played a fair few games

That £11m is surely complete ****, though. Bit like the £7m for Wildschutt that was more like £3m.

RvW, surely?

It is, but we’ve spent quite a bit of money (for us) and don’t hve too much to show for it so far, whilst we keep making the same mistakes week after week. That said, you have to give him time - as others have said this season does have similarities with Farke’s first. It is definitely fair to expect massive improvement from this year’s signings next season.

Our disciplinary record is of particular concern - games missed from suspension are largely self-inflicted. I have to confess I am not yet convinced about Knapper - we don’t have too much to show for some quite significant outlays to-date, but have to give them time. Huge improvement is needed and expected from these players next season.

I had a spell when I was very keen on Marillion, and still dip in every now and then….so what if they were a bit Genesis-y, they put a good song together!! Actually, a friend of my wife’s was Fish’s PA for a while - I think he was a decent feller but quite demanding, but aren’t they all?!

A bit random, indeed. La Gazza Ladra (the thieving magpie) is a well known piece of music, used by Mariillion back in the day and as an album title.

Couldn’t really care less who presenters are as long as they are up to it, and these guys fit that bill ok.

I presumed Dobbin was pushed through early doors as this was coming, the other guy perhaps being a longer haul if we are to get him. Spitting is and always been a strange one - it doesn’t ‘fit’ at all with the British psyche if there is such a thing; you can almost get away with anything but spitting is very much (and rightly) considered too far. I wish the same were still the case for discarded gum!

You do realise you don’t have to hit ‘submit reply’ after every sentence, don’t you?

I certainly wouldn’t want to be spending those savings on renewing Gunn’s contract - we want to try to get better than we have, not the same.

Meh - not that interested, he’ll probably not play much and lose when he does.

Rubbish - he’s been poor for a long while and we need better, if we had better than Long in reserve he might well have been warming our bench for a while.

We won the game though, and didn’t beat QPR. End of story.

That is quite surprising- it may be an indicator that Josh is fit, though?
