Re: Bronwhill confirms departure

Does anyone else think we did absolutely the right thing here. Josh has tried and to some extent failed in the Prem. With the players we’ve now got I’m not sure he makes the first 11. He would have been our highest paid player so his wages have been repurposed particularly well on the surface at lea...

Re: Guardian has us finishing 20th

Nearly every pundit has us finishing rock bottom. I don’t agree. We have a much better balanced squad than last time. Also I think the overall quality of the first 11(assuming the strongly rumoured players materialise) is much higher. Add to that growing turmoil at a number of clubs and I really thi...

I am ok with as few changes as possible. A proper no 9 and this season’s loans and renewals being given new contracts would be fine. We made the mistake last time of wholesale changes. Yes we don’t have a squad of prem players but quite a few who are young enough to possibly grow into it.
