So because Joe Shields picked him you're presumably asking most of us not to believe what we've seen with our own eyes. That's a stretch.

Clearly we do not have enough creativity in the current squad and need new blood in this area. Ok, you think Fernandes and Dibling will fill the roles (if still here) but what about injuries or tactical changes? We are not awash with creative players unless you can name them.

If any of this nonsense is true we are continuing to repeat past mistakes. We need a complete reset from the dross that got us into this position of having a bloated squad of underperformers who were an embarrassment last season. Now you're telling me that you expect Baz and Stephens to start in our defence. It is bonkers but I would not be surprised if it turns out this way. We cannot seem to learn under SR.

You'll find they weren't particularly good managers.

It's nowhere near 60 million because Ramsdale is going out on loan.

Newcastle fans raging about this - not happy at all.

That has reassured me - we're likely to get in a replacement for Lumley 🙂

If it is just a loan then presumably he could return to us at the start of next season. On that basis I do not see SR buying a replacement so assume Baz and McCarthy will be our two keepers.

I'm hoping this is the lull before the storm - it's certainly very quiet with not even the hint of the most outrageous rumour. Maybe many activities are going on behind the scenes. We certainly need to freshen up what is a very stale set of players.

Has the CoT disbanded? Asking for a friend.

Hardly relevant then. Thanks.

Depends on the result 🙂

Is this relevant to us?

I'll give it a miss thanks. Heard it all before.

Some seem to be overlooking the fact that Captain Jack is a sure fire starter. Ignoring his presence in the squad won't make him go away or prevent him from being one of the first names on the team sheet.

Some good points but, in my view, we need to address the lack of creativity and poor goal scoring record - I don't think the defence should be our priority.

No, he's just been rewarded with an extended contract.

Not a bad shout 🙂

Presume they originally wanted Captain Jack but he was then given an extended contract so they've gone for Jan as the next best thing.

You got me. Can't think of anything.

Personally I'd prefer our captain to stay off the pitch.

That was two weeks ago 🙂

I'd hope we had more than one target.

The reserve full back must be pretty shit!

Superb trophy that.
