One thing Alfie kinda alluded to which we haven’t really spoken about on here is that isn’t it only jack stephens that has signed a new deal of late ?

this could  be a big problem going forward as we don’t want to get stuck in a situation where everyone is running down the contracts. Charles in particular I’m not sure will resign and tbh we haven’t really gave him a ton of first team football for different reasons in his time here but you can tell he’s developing  into a lovely player we need young prospects like this to resign else our focus on potential loses a lot of the upside 

You couldn’t really blame them though could you. There seems to be a feel good factor, albeit a very fragile one, returning but up until a few weeks ago the only way this club seemed to be heading was down. Why wouldn’t half decent not see what their options were. Things do seem to have turned but it’s the first steps on a long way back, the club still has a lot to do to prove they’re a good place to be

Yeah wouldn’t disagree with you but seems a bit weird we are not gonna hardly anyone to sign .regarding Charles you could understand it if he doesn’t wanna sign as well really he’s been here 3 seasons nearly now and still hasn’t really cemented a first team place even though its unlucky this season . But coming from city and then being Wednesdays star man you could understand if he was a bit frustrated 

Its kinda mental really when you think the chances bazunu has been given compared to Charles and Edozie the latter hasn’t been treated great at all imo but even judging by his little cameos recently you can see he is still awesome dribbler and probably carries more goal threat then fellows

We've replaced most of the team in fairness - the only important assets not on long term contracts are THB, Downes, and Charles. And if we dont get promoted they'll likely be sold for as much as possible.

I get Charles, last time in the championship he wasn't ready, a season on loan whilst we were in the Premier league has done him to world of good and he's come back better for it, which is how it should be. Im not fan of Edozie but he's been cast aside for some reason. Also weird how up until a month ago Brees been shipped out on loan meanwhile we've brought in two full backs who he is head a shoulders above. Yet like you say, we've persisted with Baz despite it being blatant from his first few games he was miles off where he needs to be.

I think I’d be happy breaking even on downes it was a transfer everyone wanted at the time but I don’t see a ceiling higher then a very good championship Dm,of which you could probably get another goiod championship dm for a lot less then 18m

A good acquisition - so long we sent a few of the SFC donkeys the other way... oh wait....

[Holmes_and_Watson]

Can't build the best things without engineers. Well, without builders too... Anyway, welcome aboard! 

I expect performances to pick up, when no one tells the squad her role at the pet charity, wasn't to put those on their last legs to sleep.

If you think about it, working for a charity that re-homes unwanted pets bought in error has a lot of crossover. Our football club has a lot of players bought in error that we need to find new homes for.

TBF I wouldn’t inflict Damion Downs on any animal sanctuary, not even the Donkey 🫏 Sanctuary in Sidmouth.

Cameron Archer will be one of those pets who lurks in the corner of their cage with Beats headphones on rather than approaching you with tail wagging and trying to get your attention.

Or their data is incredibly noisy.

Or, the more terrifyingly likely option, they're doing the kind of data analyses where they don't have a clear hypothesis but want to check the correlations of as many variables as possible so they can pretend causal relationships and make terrible decisions.
