... or redirect some of the threads on here, there's enough hot air to melt it.

A grey haze from the incinerator next door...

I think that's the underlying point: most fans associate with the first badge they connected with. For me, it's the pre-castle (which always looked like a local school competition winner) round one, although WP's Avatar one was the first but I was too young. My strongest connection is to the...

Similar to some of our fans: centre forwards score goals, defender defend – if they don't just do that, then bin them. The ever-so-slightly more subtle differences between a player's xG, xPG, xA and xGA compared to team xGf, xGa and xPts is all a bit too fancy.

I think Exeter City and OGC Nice might have something to say about that.

I look forward to the next nostalgic replay of this topic in 2 or 3 years time...

I though that he's played in exactly the correct position – nominally on the left of the three behind the centre forward but all three allowed to interchange and move forward as a 10. The understanding between them is beginning to look good... unfortunately.

The Pottery Arms?

I can't believe that scenario would be considered, disposable players.

Where is this discussion about losing our identity?

I'd have said, if anything, the opposite would apply. We sign player on exceptionally long contracts by most standards.

Lowe was subbed on after 20 minutes for Routledge.

We've recruited recently a number of players who were a year or so older than previously the norm for B Team and had some sort of first team experience. I'd assume these inbetweeners were considered to have a significantly good chance of entering the first team squad, once adjusted. It could...

If there's no realistically available players who will make an instant impact, then I'd prefer to see B Team players being given minutes to rest up first-team players. They know how we want them to play and we know their attributes and limitations.

Goode's unavailability was never informed as Coronavirus-related, just 'illness'.

True! I was inferring that, if we had a real recruitment target, we'd have made the move by now.

Personally, I always though Konsa had everything to be an excellent CB and was extremely disappointed that he was persuaded to want to move on so quickly. I can also see why he name-checked Jeanvier as he was a player who's focus was on defending, more-or-less at the expense of everything else.

I'd agree with that, they are midfield options, both similar in that they play high like a 10. It sort-of means we have players for four different roles in midfield, that allows Thomas to put out slightly different styles of play. The chances of stumbling over a wide attacker to give Canós...

Maybe it was my imagination or maybe he just dropped deeper, given he's almost 30.

I always thought Hourihane was more a DHM?
