Which is why I didn’t include him either

I LOVE THIS ANALOGY: You are holding a cup of coffee when someone comes along and bumps into you or shakes your arm, making you spill your coffee everywhere. Why did you spill the coffee? "Because someone bumped into me!!!" Wrong answer. You spilled the coffee because there was coffee in your cup. Had there been tea in the cup, you would have spilled tea. Whatever is inside the cup is what will spill out. Therefore, when life comes along and shakes you (which WILL happen), whatever is inside you will come out. It's easy to fake it, until you get rattled. So we have to ask ourselves... “what's in my cup?" When life gets tough, what spills over? Joy, gratitude, peace and humility? Anger, bitterness, victim mentality and quitting-tendencies? Life provides the cup, YOU choose how to fill it. Today let's work towards filling our cups with gratitude, forgiveness, joy, words of affirmation, resilience, positivity; and kindness, gentleness and love for others. ?

Agree, I hadn’t included HNM or KW as they haven’t featured lately in our first team squad.

Considering our first team squad I’m thinking… Ins: Jake O'Brien, Jack Currie, and Ross McCrorie Maybes: Joe Bryan + a real curve-ball or two ? Outs: Alex Scott, Jay DaSilva and Tomas Kalas What do others reckon?

This closed-season will be the first where NP is not clearing out loads of players and it presents an opportunity to strengthen in key areas. My hope is we can secure our targets early on and everyone can have a really good pre-season. NP has recently said, ‘The bottom line is this, the culture that the players are very much part of creating is about having really healthy competition, relative fairness, I can't say football is always going to be fair because it's not, there's always going to be grumpy players somewhere but I want healthy competition in the club but I want us to aim high.’ When looking at what he has done it really does align with his bottom line approach. He has consistently said he likes to get deals sorted early and we’ve already been given a strong indication of who, if possible, we hope to recruit. As has been mentioned earlier in this thread we will likely get ‘dull’ signings e.g. players we know little about. I’m happy with that based on the additions of Sykes, Mehmeti, Atkinson, Tanner and (hopefully) Wilson and Cornick (once they are fully fit) all were unknown to me but they all look capable and have potential to develop/improve. In NP and his team I trust.

Burnley have been in charge throughout that half without having to really break sweat and could be 2 or 3 ahead. Benson, with a carbon copy of his strike v Blackburn, is a class act. Thought Pring had a good half otherwise we’ve been second best, too easily giving the ball away, outplayed in midfield and have lacked any threat up front, despite their keeper taking a chance or two. Be tempted to switch formation and bring on Wells for SB or HC and AW for AK. Hope we can, at the least, come out with a bit of urgency and fight in the second half, otherwise it will be a disappointing end to our home games.
