There was more to Che's game than missing sitters. Hopefully, we've got a finisher without losing out in other areas (either with Archer, or through others picking up those roles)

They are unforgiving, so he'll soon be reminded about an end product. Big support, big expectations and a bit more room. So, if he can deliver he will do really well from the experience. Well, if we stay up there's always next summer.

Window: We really needed McCarthy, Downes, Stu, Fraser. Brooks/Tella, Che replacements and DM cover this window. We got Ramsdale/McCarthy, Downes, Fernandes, Fraser, Cornet pending?, Archer/BBD (also playing left), Les. We also look to be keeping KWP and Bednarek. And strengthened with Sugawara, Taylor, happily obligated to sign THB, added squad depth with Lallana, Wood and Edwards. Dibling, SAA coming through too. Arguably, we don't have a like for like Che replacement. Martin looks to be trying different things there. Fernandes and Les are young, but both seem to have been brought in to push for starts. With Will,Aribo and Lallana we've got some depth there now.

He has big gloves to fill.

Good to see him back. He made a real impact when he joined last season. Those loan deals worked out pretty well last season - with THB (who I like to think we would have looked to sign, even if there wasn't the obligation), Downes and Fraser.

Turned over to Talksport. Jim White saying that the guys with him have put in a shift all day. "Bashing the phones...and making sure you're right!" One of the guys he'd just said was getting it right, was Crook. 🙂

Thanks! I'll have a pint of the guest ale please.

Top researcher Corine Ahri also published her defence of Big Food, after following an ultra processed diet. Her paper was read out by mourners in a moving tribute at her McFuneral. 🙂

Could be a bit awkward though. Player: Am I in your plans? Boss: Sure you are. A key part. Now, just nip in to see the medical team on your way to training. Or the boss getting the whole squad medicals (and cost), doesn't inspire much faith.

That's my account. I definitely said that.🙂 Part of my Llamas returning to their first midfield home series.

That would be ideal. Interesting that it's data focused Brentford, who presumably see the same things we did in him. So, he could go on to be very good there.

Edozie: Presumably due to Cornet coming in? As we've all pointed out, the end product isn't there yet. But I think he's come on in a lot of other areas. With his 2 sub appearances, I can see why he'd want to build on that, and his game here, rather than drop down. He should be getting regular games for Utd though ( caveat of ignorance on who they have as competition there), which can hopefully bring us back a player who will be really useful for us next season.

It's a lot more than I thought we'd get. I liked what I saw of him. But that was a while back now, and there are so many senior players ahead of him. I don't know how his development has gone since then. But with a year left, the player looking to get minutes, and us having so many in front of him, it's good for all concerned. Looking forward to seeing how he gets on.

As much as I'd like to see Will's development in the PL, JWP is a clear upgrade. It would add plenty of experience, to the youth of of Les and Fernandes too. Les, Downes, JWP, Will, Fernandes, Aribo, Lallana, Dibling It would have been nice to have him back.

Mainly she wasn't speaking out due to her smoker's cough stopping her. 🙂

A good hour or so back on 5 live, the sports announcer matter of factory said he was here. I thought it was already all done. Nearly though. A little thought for Lumley. For a brief moment when Baz got injured, he was first choice. After all, he was the sub 'keeper. Only to lose out to McCarthy. Who then re-signed. Now further down the pecking order with Ramsdale. Only contracted until the end of this season.
