If it’s a straight swap can we put valuation down as 3 million and cut Brum out of equation? So that would be 6 million then? 😉

I'm one of those fans that loves a workhorse - Darrell Russell remains one of my favourite all time players. I think Powell covers an immense amount of ground and not only that he puts a tackle or challenge in when he gets there. I'd love to see the distance stats to see whether I'm wrong on this or it's his reputation or even just the fact he mercurial player and is assumed he doesn't do the work. I once saw Daryl Russell in an Indian restaurant in Uttoxeter - but I couldn't be arsed to speak to him.

Didn't really mean wingers in the chalk-on-the-boots, go-round-the-outside Stanley Matthews sense, although that's pretty much the way McClean operates in any system as he's very much an old-fashioned 4-4-2-style wide man I always just mentally refer to even the wider players in a 4-3-3/4-2-3-1 that way. I'm still expecting another player to come in to challenge Ince/Campbell for the role on the right of the attack. I actually thought it suited Campbell quite well. And his goalscoring record from that role was very good, but can't see MON going in with Tyrese as first pick there. And he must be close to giving up on Ince. And while 5-3-2 is an option, it would probably mean only one of Fox and McClean playing - and wouldn't have thought Fox had signed up for a lot of bench duty if he had other options? MON did say the other day Fox was an option as a left-sided CB in a 3 or at wing-back (although that'd mean McClean on the bench which seems unlikely), but got to think he saw him as a steady left-back in a 4 above all? In fact 'steady' was the first word out of MON's mouth to describe what he'd bring to the team. 3 at the back would mean that more than 1 of our boatload of strikers could start though. If 4-3-3/4-2-3-1 is going to be the regular formation, it is going to be almost impossible to see Afobe get much action at all. How much Afobe figures will be one of the more interesting questions, but as you say, wouldn't have thought he'd really be an option in one of the wider forward roles. If we do bring in another front-line right wing option though, it does have the knock-on effect of really limiting Campbell's minutes there, and make Ince pretty redundant - and if we are largely going with one striker, even Campbell might find himself a bit peripheral to start with I get where you are coming from with this - I started watching football in the 70s and for me winger still means someone who goes outside the fullbacks to put in crosses. If you are talking about tucked in wide men in a front three I get where you are coming from - but I think a lot of the replies are from people talking about old school wingers. You are also right in that if we do bring in that sort of player it could marginalise players like Afobe, Campbell, McClean and Ince. Given that Campbell and McClean have played well in those roles, Ince has the potential but hasn't lived up to it and Afobe could be an interesting prospect it's going to be a big ask to get someone better and shift out one or more of the above before the season starts. Ince probably looks the most vulnerable. I think the attacking width is going to be provided by the wingbacks/fullbacks. We have good options there in McClean, Fox and Tymon but are light on the right. Rather than going for an attacking player - I think we could do a lot worse than what we have already - I'd be looking to get in a pacey right back/wingback to provide the attacking width. Call them a defensive winger and we're good.... Tom Edwards?

Thought he was articulate and showed mental agility. Didn’t expect him to be astonishingly incisive abut the team and our particular areas for improvement. Looks promising but everything will rest on how quickly he will achieve match fitness. Share concern by some that a too early return to playing could result in niggling injury. Problem is we need to get off the ground running. Good luck to him - welcome OB1! "If he hadn't had such a good career you'd think he was a blagger listening to that" What a bizarre statement, he has had a good career so you know he's not blagging it....... Exactly! Anybody can talk the talk, but he has walked the walk.

As mentioned above, the only fair thing the club can do is refund those that have already purchased an early bird ticket, as those terms and conditions no longer apply. Then have another early bird sales period where people have different options: Option 1. Buy a season ticket as ‘normal’. This means the club would expect you to attend home games in your normal seat. Sold on a first come first served basis up to the new maximum limit eg 15,000. Option 2. Buy a ‘reserved seat’ season ticket for a nominal fee. This would enable people who don’t want to attend games to still keep their existing seat, and the club would NOT expect you to attend home games. Option 3. Buy a ‘streaming seat’ season ticket. This would enable people who don’t want to attend games to still keep their existing seat and you get a package of games to watch online, and the club would NOT expect you to attend home games.
I’m sure there are many different scenarios and I don’t envy the club trying to sort it all out.

Seven centre halves, goodness me, worse than TP But with BMI, Soutter possibly going, and Shawcross probably not playing many games that leaves 4 including a rookie in Collins. If we play 3 at the back we need 6 to cover for 2 games a week. If we sign Chester we would still need another 1 or 2.

The least surprising thing I’ve ever read regarding Bournemouth. Shit cunt club with a shit cunt ground, shit cunt manager, shit cunt fans and shit cunt players. The sooner FFP cripples them and they have to start again in the same league as The Dog & Dick the better. So, i'm not sure - don't you like them then?

Forest were dogshit at our place - and they went top of the league that night...…... Sheffield Wednesday were dogshit when they beat us 1-0 at their place to go 3rd. As interesting as the league is there's a proper lack of quality. Other than Leeds and maybe Brentford, although they were average against us, the quality this season has been awful.
