Wasyls Pec Deck

He’s perfected the art of being at a club so long without being an established first team player. Get rid.

Get this utter fraud gone

This McFarlane from Man City has to play over him. I’ve not even seen him play, but he’s from an organisation where the whole club is geared to play in a similar way which automatically makes him a better option than Thomas.

Yea wasn’t he inverting into midfield yesterday? **** my life what has it come to.

Of the many things wrong at the club, the recruitment that window really hampered us

I have few words for that. What an opportunity for a fresh start. A clean state, and then we do that. It’s going to get worse before it gets better. Caleb Okoli stormed off down the tunnel and didn’t join the players on their lap. He should never play for the club again.

Who needs strikers anyway

Let AI sort it. A barrier to any new approach is ensuring previous purchasing records don’t carry on existing issues… That is the hardest part of the problem, because if you simply introduce a points system tomorrow, you risk creating a new unfairness: the people who have benefited from the old system will already have accumulated a huge advantage. So I think you need to distinguish between rewarding historical loyalty and inheriting privilege from the old allocation system. I would use a “reset with recognition” approach Imagine the old system has meant that 2,000 season-ticket holders have regularly been able to buy away tickets, while another 10,000 haven’t realistically had the opportunity. If you simply say: “Your previous away-ticket purchases determine your new priority” you’ve essentially institutionalised the old inequality. Instead: 1. Freeze the old loyalty record Recognise previous away attendance, but don’t allow it to dominate the new system. For example, someone might receive a starting loyalty score based on their previous away attendance, but with a maximum cap. So: 30 previous away games → 30 points 100 previous away games → perhaps still only 40 points 200 previous away games → perhaps still only 40 points That recognises genuine loyalty without making someone permanently untouchable. 2. Give every eligible supporter a baseline For example, every season-ticket holder gets 10 points and every member gets 5. This means someone who has never had access to away tickets isn’t starting at zero against people who have had preferential access for years. 3. Then move to a genuinely earned system From that point onwards, the overwhelming majority of points come from actual away attendance. After, say, two seasons, the historical advantage could disappear almost completely. An even fairer approach would be a transition period I’d probably do this over three seasons. That means the existing core of away supporters aren’t suddenly punished, but nor are they guaranteed priority forever. And crucially, everyone gets an opportunity to move up the rankings. Someone currently sitting outside the traditional away-ticket group could start attending the less desirable away games and gradually build their priority. I’d also introduce a “fair access” component This is where I think a lot of football clubs miss something. Suppose Leicester gets 3,000 tickets for an away game. There are 15,000 people who would like to go. If the same 3,000 people get first refusal every time, you haven’t really created a loyalty scheme. You’ve created a closed club. So I’d reserve perhaps 10–20% of the allocation for a ballot among people who don’t qualify for the highest priority bands. For example: 2,500 tickets 2,000 → loyalty/priority system 500 → wider-supporter ballot That gives somebody who has never been able to get an away ticket a genuine chance of attending. It also prevents the system becoming self-perpetuating. And there’s a particularly important rule I’d introduce You shouldn’t need to have previously obtained an away ticket to establish away loyalty. Instead, give additional points for attending less popular matches. For example: Leicester v Liverpool away: 1 point Leicester v Birmingham away: 1 point Tuesday night at an inconvenient location: 2 points League Cup away at a lower-league club: 2 points FA Cup away on a cold January Tuesday: 2 points Perhaps that’s slightly artificial, but the principle is excellent. You’re rewarding people for taking opportunities when they’re available, rather than rewarding people simply because they have historically been inside the privileged group. The principle I’d use I’d formulate the policy around this: No supporter should be permanently disadvantaged because they previously lacked access to away tickets, and no supporter should permanently retain priority simply because they previously had access. That is, in my view, the fundamental fairness test. The existing regular away supporters do deserve recognition. They’ve travelled with the club and shouldn’t suddenly be told that their loyalty counts for nothing. But equally, a supporter who has been excluded from away tickets for years can’t fairly be told that their lack of away attendance proves they aren’t loyal enough to deserve tickets. That’s circular: they couldn’t demonstrate away loyalty because they couldn’t get the tickets. That’s why I’d favour a capped historical score + universal baseline + rapidly increasing new loyalty points + a small wider ballot.

Compare him to what Alves looked like against Notts County. Alves showed more effort and ambition than Mavididi has shown for years

I’m all STH so got nowhere near this, and annoyingly I live an hour or so up the road. If anyone has a spare one I’d love to take it off your hands…

The one positive of this situation was that Seagrave would come good and the academy would be blooded and we’d start again. While there is a bit of that, the fact a lot are leaving is just abysmal and shows how deep the financial problems are. Aiyawatt and Rudkin should not be allowed near the place ever again. I cannot wait for us to be sold and for new custodians to fire Rudkin 1 minute after taking control. Although I bet he’ll use that as the time to skulk off into the sunset on all the money he too has drained out of the club.

And Choudhury was a bit part squad player

There is a large part of me that thinks he needs to play more and more academy players - mainly because they’re more familiar with his type of football.

Two competitive games is not enough to call time on him FFS 🤣

Yes I think I sit in the same block

So what does Cullen do? What roles is he supposed to have? I couldn’t tell today

Deserves it

That’s what I said when I heard he was starting. He was a large part of Enzo running rings around them and before that. Such a weird signing and I suspect being driven by him not incurring a fee and having experience on his side

While some of the swamp draining is commendable, we’ve left crucial business far too late to have a well oiled unit going onto season. And it shows!

Another one like Choudhury who have basically taken advantage of the clowns running the circus

Unacceptable. Luke Thomas never been good enough, and not even at this level. We yet again have started the season with few options in the centre forward area. If Bristric is not up to it we basically don’t have a capable striker in the squad. We gifted them so many chances through our own inadequacies. Have there even been to two central defenders more ill equipped to the play out from the back than Okoki and Souttar? The only positive is the academy trio that did well, but I can’t see us being promoted on this showing.

Can’t say it’s not been coming. But we’ve gifted them so many chances they should be out of sight. Pathetic defending, and like Sousa all those years ago this manager will not last if we continue to gift so many chances to the opposition every game.

A goal straight out of the academy - well done lads

He needs to make changes to get the momentum back

He looks a waste of a shirt at the moment
