Wouldn’t have happened under Gao’s watch.

Was always going to be a difficult summer, bringing back memories of 2014 as you say. But we might be able to hold onto BBD, Archer and Downs (Sods Law he has just hit form at this stage of the window).And perhaps Bazunu. All is not lost yet.

Or Wolves

Vinny Jones in his prime would stir things up in the midfield a bit.

What is the quota they need then ? Must admit I thought that had gone out of the window

Problem may be the timing of their departures if it drags towards the end of August. On the home nations thing, is that still relevant ? Genuine question as I haven’t heard it for a while.

Shame. I thought big things were expected of him when he signed. Wasn’t he meant to be the Japanese Latvian Michael Owen ?

Peak form = peak value. Think we should take him off now to protect his value.

Could do. Good job we haven’t changed kit supplier or sponsor this summer

Wonder which shirt we’ll wear at Colchester who I think are blue and white stripes. Home shirt : we don’t normally wear this when opposing side are in stripes. Away (if rumoured kit is accurate) is mainly blue (apart from the wavy bits) Third : ‘ivory’, doesn’t that clash with the white in the Colchester kit ?

It gets worse ! I'm obviously a man of many talents. Agree some of the names in their range are a bit absurd, pretty sure I saw one called Dead Salmon.

No comment.

Its the sponsor : Derby Road Chamber of Commerce

Can only hope so

Themselves perhaps. Nothing like a bit of internal back slapping and congratulating themselves on a “job well done” to face their many critics and media to boost self belief and ‘relevance’ in the modern world.
