Love it when he refers to Sharky in his interview.

Nope. We will get a parachute payment as normal.

Think you have to keep in mind he's a little inexperienced, 17 games at League 2 and 13 in the Scottish PL and what he's played for us. He's also not played first time football since September. Not sure buying a back up keeper will be priority if we go up.

I think Daka was on the naughty step for wanting to go in the summer. I get the feeling Enzo like to spend a lot of time getting to know a player, and to work with them in the training pitch.

I don't know. Without know all the variables of our financial position mainly wages as the rest you can work out. We have to stick to the Championship P & L rule which is a loss of no more them 39m over 3 years (13m a season). Assuming we are in for 1 season, we are going to be expected to lose no more than 13m this season.

I'd say the inverted Full back role is as hard.

To be fair to Enzo @Ric Flair with the mess he inherited, he was never going to gamble on Nelson when he the chance to bring in Doyle on loan with a season in the Championship and League 1 behind him and then JJ who been capped for England. Only critisim on Enzo would be he could have given him both league cup games. Hopefully playing today and another FA Cup game could give us a good shop window to find him a decent loan.

Your talking past tense, I was talking about the present and moving on the likes of Soumare and Kristiansen.

Think this will be a tough tight game.

True, depend on what money we have.

And yet Bournemouth stayed up being the worst and Brentford finished 9th being worst then us. Everton were 4th best but finish just above us. The major issue was conceding to many goals, not the type of goal. Can we be better? Yes. Would it help? Yes. But there is bit of an over reaction.

By turning it into a % or overall goals to match you narrative.

We have the best defence in the league is also a fact. No goal is worth more then another, fact.

Because we can't due to FFP.

But you can swing that and say wow Blackburn have concede 94% from open play. A set pieces goal is worth no more than an open play goal. I'm not saying it not a area we need to improve, but some people are overreact saying it's terrible.

You said we are terrible, I asked how we compare to the rest of the league. Terrible would be the worse in the league, we have concede 8, which is the 7th worst, but only 1 more than middle table. The best two team are Leeds and Hull on 4. If you had said it was our biggest weakness rather the terrible I would have agree.

Like him a lot.

Give us an option? If we need to push Ricardo to number 8.

Depend of the opposition for me away a Coventry I'd play Justin. Against a weak team at home and I'd play Doyle. A lot depends in whether we are getting Doyle back next season. If not I play Justin and Nelson more. I still think we should loan Nelson out, need to play as much as possible.

Funny what playing a few games in a row does. The boy just needs time.

Easier to teach him to defend then to be good on the ball. He will get better with experience.

Yes, looks very promising. Looks very calm.

I know. However as we be in the Championship for 1 season (Touch wood) we will be judge by the EFL for 1 season against its P & L rule. I also think it useful to analyse 22/23 independently as its give us an idea along with this season of a forecast for 24/25 when we go back up. I've done the Maths for transfer fee amortisation but far to much guess work on the wages front.

Be interesting to see how we are doing compare to other sides in the championship. May not be as bad as you think.

We weren't really much better with him. How about get someone decent!
