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!

Equality in action, family club.

Shaping up as a 9.75 window. He would look great in their grade two listed dugout in the drizzle.

Wouldn't be able to lift it. Needs a few years on triangle.

Ahead of his time yet again, a visionary. Since he got sacked he's probably cracked time travel.

Fuck them and all who sail in them!

Hold it in until at least £70m...

Or Virgil van Dijk - the £13m six foot five inch, short-arse!

It is, but a rarity and likely a weakness for a CB pairing in a team already lacking in height competing in a physical league. Then again, he could be the new Des Walker. I have a feeling that if he signs SFC will look to develop him as a defensive midfielder, he has all the attributes for that.

Pal at work who is a Posh fan and his view is that Edwards is a very good technical footballer, low centre of gravity and close control, but only feasible at centre half in the middle of a three. Also said that his 'Wikipedia height' of 5'11 is a tad optimistic and much nearer to 5'9 in the flesh. Not sure we need anymore midgets or Wikipedia six-footers. Agree with you about Holgate and can't see the attraction. If he joins he would likely be our Maitland-Niles loan for this season.

But then again living in London and rebuilding with Poch might sway the lad, it beats Toxteth and cuddles from Stephen Merchant's gurning Bavarian uncle. Good fun isn't it

I shouldn't have said 'bawling out' - our skipper was much more measured in his critical intervention approach
