Lrrr

Well it will be interesting to see when McCroie is capable of repeated 90 mins, for now someone has to come on there for

Or they just don't want wages being spent on players who'll barely get on the pitch, experience is great, but its better when its spent on people who'll play

Perhaps he doesn't see him there. Perhaps often back 4's are easier to coach principles into, out of possession style is definitely easier as we saw how we would drop into a 442, easiest OOP system to use.

Available players, if Knight-Lebel not deemed to be ready yet then he’s needed Tanner at RB, Bell probably not trusted for 90 at wing back, so until he’s had McCrorie allowing Tanner to tuck in he’s stuck with a back 4

I don’t think anything necessitated the change, I said since he’s come in that I think he wants to play the back 3 with the box as his preferred shape

Imagine when they would have a female match official

If it was the only way to keep us in the running sure, hard to think it would be the case though.

My only disappointment would be him not being moved up to say league 2 if being loaned out again, he’s succeeding at national league level, he did very well against Stockport and therefore think a loan for the rest of the season would be a really good indicator as to where he’s at.

You assume the negotiations weren’t just straight club to club for Twine?

Unless you know what that loan fee is then it’s impossible to say whether we’re paying too much

Again you say we're throwing money at it by loaning Twine without any evidence that this is the case We've loaned out Weimann covering you'd imagine is a good amount of Twine's wage so we've swapped one we wouldn't have used much due to his clause for an extra year and got in one that Manning will use.

You'd probably have to dig out a good few rows at the front of the upper tier where the media are as you'd need the first row of fans behind to be able to see over the people standing on the new gantry. Then you have the issue of the current gantry built into the stand unless you tried converting that to media area with desks running the whole way along

Hate coverage where the camera is too close to the pitch and the main camera feels on top of it, the amount of turning the camera has to do then being too close.

I've said for a while I think Manning will want to play a box midfield moving forwards, so my guess is Twine/Knight top of the box, 2 of TGH/Williams/James bottom of the box with Mehmeti coming on top of the box later when gaps open up.

I think we should always ask if the game was in doubt, never know when one of those Watford rain storms could happen again

Not necessarily

Would love to know how much something has to be in your mind for it to be a case of us ‘throwing money’ at something rather than value for money

How much did they pay him to say he liked the kit?

I prefer a sofa

He's not saying its what anyone is paying though, he's saying its what Burnley's asking price was/is, from their perspective Twine is a Champ ready player who could be part of their squad should they drop down, why would they sell cheaply? (with Prem money in mind when I say cheap)

Getting to work with Manning again would be a pull for us, could move back to the area if only until the end of the season at least.

At a guess, they have so many options in that 3 behind the striker, reportedly interested in Benson/Zaroury from them as well they may think he might not get as much game time when everyone is in/fit? If we want Knight in the CM slot rather than 10 then it opens an easy hole for him to get consistent game time.
