I agree with that. Ability wise, I'm not sure there's much between them. Attitude wise, they're night and day. We've been told before about Obafemi not doing what he needs to stay fit and injury free. That's unforgivable. Compare that with Adams, who's so keen to stay fit and injury free that sees someone periodically away from the club to mot his body, iron out niggles before he feels them, and keep him in top condition. That's what those who want it do. Obafemi has the smell of someone who won't achieve his potential, sadly.

Yep. Throughout his time here, he's hired some very good people, got rid of those who weren't performing, stayed out of the football side and left it to the grown ups, not embarrassed us with tweets and other public facing nonsense, and generally kept us on the straight and narrow. The only thing he hasn't done is sunk tens/hundreds of millions into buying players, but nobody with sense would do that. With that said, we've had cash injections (loans) to help us along and it must be that Gao has either provided that or arranged it. I wouldn't want to see anyone come in and meddle with our current set up. If it ain't broke, don't fix it.

In his Athletic interview, Crocker said that the loans aren't the way to go, he prefers to see players develop here.

Trouble

It's massive mate.

I think early doors I they would have done. Now I don't think there's any chance. I know of more people carrying on largely as they want than are playing by the rules. Lots of 1 person meeting another, and 1 meeting another, and surprise surprise all 4 at the same place at the same time. This is lockdown lite that'll do nothing but further decimate the economy, particularly hospitality and retail.

That's how you do a lockdown. Decisive, harsh, clear message. If they don't nip that little burst of cases in the bud, it's not for the want of trying.

Cheers. That's a superb read. He's got obvious passion and vision. It's good to read that the change from an u23 team to a B team is much more than a name change, and takes us back to where we once were, namely developing first team players. He's a great acquisition and it looks like we're back on track after a few years going backwards.

There's nothing offensive about that, it's arms, face, neck - somewhere prominent that I don't like - it's gotta be revealed, and not seen by all.

Bread

I like a little cheeky one say on the arse, lower back, shoulder etc, but not an arm sleeve, neck or some such.

Facial tattoos. Just why.

Our approach is different on this. Mine, very simply, is that the factual information should be available to us, but unfounded opinions should not be easily accessible to the gullible masses. Over and above the (very Valid) freedom of speech argument, how does it benefit the reader/society to have false information laid it on multiple forums?

The irony of you calling me dim. Jeez. You may be right or wrong, ditto me, but my view is that impressionable need saving from themselves when information is laid before them. Let's just agree to differ.

This.

You can only express your opinion, and the reaction to my earlier post suggests that the majority view is not what you think it is. The lad clearly has/had something going on. My stance is to respect that, wish him well and wait patiently for him to pull on the red and white

It's a very simple thing Weston. Impressionable people see stuff on social media that they don't elect to see. It's laid out before them by retweets, shares, likes, or other actions by 3rd parties. By seeing something that they don't elect to see, a post and it's content is unsolicited, thus forced upon them. I have the ability to scroll past posts (despite finding myself responding to more of your nonsense than I should), and most people are the same. Alas, the amount of nutters and impressionable out there is staggering.

Depends what it links to. If it's to another unfounded conspiracy theory, is it wise to allow the impressionable to see it? It's a tough area, and censorship is something I generally feel strongly against, but if one person believes an anti vax conspiracy theory and dies as a consequence, its one person too many.

People with a brain scroll past, but people without a brain can read and believe nonsense posted by other brainless idiots. This is too important an issue and my view (others can take the contra view, I respect that) is that allowing people to put conspiracy theorist nonsense out there is dangerous as impressionable people may believe it and pass on a vaccine that could save their life. We'll agree to differ on social media but it staggers me that you really do not accept that people post their opinions on social media because they want other people to read (and probably agree with) their opinion. I thought every one knew that was one of its basic uses.

Behave. If some idiot is expressing his view publicly he's only doing so wanting other people to read it. If you disagree with that, I think that you misunderstand the basics.

He's been a breath of fresh air so far. As Hypo says, the direct running is what we've been missing. If he can stay fit I think he'll be great for us. As for a contract, it's early days but based on performances and attitude, it has to be on the agenda.

Sounds awful. Good to hear that you're on the way back.
