Oh no!

Indeed, alongside buying a lot of failure. Long may it continue!

The Bazunu cheerleaders getting excited about Martin and Wilcox's endorsement seem to be missing the point. If the panel were to be asked about any individual young player they would respond in a similar way - what else can they do? He is Wilcox's former academy player and currently Russell Martin's Hobson's choice on the back of a terrible relegation season in terms of defence. If they had questioned his overall ability at a public forum their managerial acumen would be rightly questioned. He's an expensive young prospect with potential, learning his trade and currently playing under pressure, which he deserves credit for. The later question to Martin about revealing the player with the highest work ethic raised his eyebrows and was rightly dismissed and skirted, but if that question had been raised about an individual currently featuring in the first team, what do you think the response would be? "Can Jason and Russell say whether we are going to sign an experienced winger to replace Sam Edozie as he has been rather inconsistent?" Martin, Mowbray and Wilcox aren't daft and they will be trying to offload the expensive and disinterested McCarthy. His replacement will provide necessary competition for GB and some insurance in case the Bazunu cheerleaders are proved wrong and the doubters are proved right. In the meantime fans should keep saying what they see, for and against, regardless of what the manager says - that's football!

Borderline but fuck it!

The Pink Panther is not interested in the men’s team.

Kind of you to attempt to take one for the team Alex, but I would wager that the Pink Panther was a fully paid up member of the Nathan Jones 17 on here (straight outta Rampton)

Indeed, but then again HAHAHAHAHAHA!!!

Indeed, there are a lot of chubby Walter Mitty's around at these type of fora, point scoring for the bus journey home.

If that had gone to Strachan he would have said something like 'my Victoria sponge has improved beyond all expectations'.

Heard that he's been working flat out, lots of airmiles. Bloody refreshing to have some grown ups involved again.

Combined with an all night Virgil, to stop him from fucking off next!

Small steps, aim for best keeper in an SO14 postcode and build from there. To be fair, what could his manager and former youth team boss say in the circumstances. Most of us appreciate he's a youngster in a key position, and at present he's in front of the un-dynamic duo Macca and Lumley. Get McCarthy out and nailed on Wilcox and Mowbray will bring in some genuine competition, it's what an ambitious club would do regardless of individual ability.

I wonder if the world's bestest fans will show their usual decorum when a fan's favourite is off, by issuing a Mersey fatwa.

A bona fide superfan (on the club's radar).

The goalie?

He has to of course, but if McCarthy goes the replacement should provide competition and insurance.

Wilcox is impressive, different class. Serious and ambitious. Bloody refreshing.

Can play centre mid and centre half, would add some much needed height and utility in a long season. Could be a loan as with Norwich last year. Early work with Otis Redding and Wilson Pickett a good example of progressive soul, and Theme from Shaft still a surefire banger!

Yes, electrical signals propagating and firing wave of neurons - a functional brain. In a dysfunctional brain this is impaired, or thought reactions are frequently unoriginal or reactive misunderstandings. Hope that helps x

One for Jason Wilcox, ‘if you and Russell Martin had been appointed in September 2022 where do you think the club would be now?’ (Diplomacy practical 😉)

Walter the softy finds Uncle Monty’s special dressing up box.

I think that the reactive defence is emotional, mainly due to his age than any latent star quality - an error if you want your side to be as competitive as possible. Lumley looks like the usual 'third keeper' but if McCarthy goes things get interesting as we will have to bring in a credible replacement. Bazunu should welcome and benefit from genuine competition and / or mentorship.

Only been there five minutes and pulled in the carpark. Clearly after his money!
