  1. Dave Rennie was lauded by some as the Messiah, not looking that way now, sadly. Hopefully some reflection on how hard the lads were pushed pre-season, maybe the balance a little off...

  2. McNally & Doyle were quality for them last season (would have loved for us to go for McNally, I suspect Doyle would have been unobtainable), and a bit of a surprise to see neither of them back with them for 2023/24.

    For some of those, they must be on the road for more than two hours per single trip. Wrexham to Dagenham must be about 3 and a half hours driving but Wrexham to Manchester and Southend to Dagenham must be at least two hours.

    It's mad

    Yeah, with all the faff of getting to the aiport then time taken actually boarding/disembarking, flight time, getting to other end and getting on a coach to get to the respective ground...some must be quicker just to go direct by coach...

    That's not how transfer fees work

    There are a multitude of factors that influence price, like the financial resources of buyer and seller, commercial benefits, the player's contract length, age and, of course, ability.

    Also, on the football side specifically - Alex Scott is an incredibly talented footballer but you're comparing him to a player with over 1,500 champions league minutes, who has 24 England senior appearances and was involved in a goal once every other game from midfield this season. And Jude Bellingham is only a couple months older than Scott!

    Generational is a phrase that gets thrown around too much in football but Bellingham's output is staggering and he fits the 'generational' tag.

     

    is there a more nauseating contemporary sporting term than 'generatational'... ?

    Let’s not forget when he arrived here he was still getting over an awful spell of long covid, he then had a relapse which had us wondering if we’d seen the last of him when he took some time off.

    That all looks behind him now thank goodness, his health would have been his first priority but with that looking sorted and things at work on the up him and the rest of us are all looking younger………..maybe! 

    Yeah, I reckon he could have been quite close to chucking it all in during that relapse. No evidence for that position, and one shouldn't speculated on health matters etc, but I was astonished when he came back. Seems to have gone from strength to strength since then as well.

    He's played 37 games

     

    Defender Kyle McFadzean plays for Coventry City and has played in the vast majority of the club's Championship matches in 2022/2023, making 37 appearances overall and playing 3,098 minutes. He has started in 36 of these appearances across their 48 fixtures and entered as a substitute on one occasion.

    We shall have to debate whether 25% is a good chunk ?

    Dont worry Coventry you have Kasey Palmer to come on later ;)

    On a serious note that McFazdean is bloody awful how Coventry have done so well with him in defence most of the season is a mystery

    He’s been out for a good chunk of it to be honest. McNally has been a great loan acquisition.
