Yes, we got £4.3m.

Johan Cruyff used to smoke in the dugout!

My hunch is we have a clear out of senior players and stick with Ruud. Few arrivals, focus on youth, the board think we’re easily good enough to stay up and maybe squeak into the play-offs.

Just a baseless hunch but I think he’ll do alright.

The bizarre thing is we’re better now than then, it’s just the trajectory that’s different.

There was something very special about the Little years, he wasn’t just a good manager, it felt like a crusade. I think it was what he achieved that made us so bitter about him leaving, in hindsight you can’t really blame him for going to the club he’d played for all his career.

On this day in 1994

Most of our current ones are more Temu

Mark Draper was a bit of sunshine in a cloudy season

Yet nobody mentions Gary Ford

I remember Bryan Hamilton missing one of our games to go scouting. Tbf there was very little tv coverage and few support staff.

Fast and loose with “professional” in his case.

It’s like 300 pages of an X parody account, I’ve not read it for years but I might get another copy and read it again.

Didn’t he say in the book that he played with a bloke at Weymouth who had a disabled badge for his car? 😂

29 years ago today

Daka was definitely worse, he could still be at Bournemouth now, in an empty stadium, and he won’t have found the net!

This is a very welcome distraction. It’ll be a good listen on the way to Bournemouth tomorrow.

Oldham H (Fryatt missed penalty with Windass in goal)

Hasn’t made a lot of difference tbh and that table shows it. The back pass law has been a massive improvement though.

More like PHD level student

11 in 58 Akinbiyi and 10 in 71 for Daka, I dare say they’d be similar in terms of minutes, given Daka’s large number of sub appearances, so nip and tuck would be fair I think.

I’d say he is worse, Akinbiyi’s finishing was awful but it was highlighted by his pace, strength and movement being really good, meaning he got a lot of chances to miss, but there was a player in there.

He’d be better off with my ex-wife’s box, it’s just as saggy but he’d fit more in it.

Nope but would have been later that year I think.
