He must surely of been on over £100k at Lancashire. Don't think county can afford that.

Bit soon to write him off and I hope he does do well eventually as I believe we have quite a sell-on percentage. A move up to Manchester, but then all the way over to south wales is an awful decision on their part for a 17 year-old.

He was fantastic for me on Football Manager, I bought him as a 17 year-old from Everton.

Waste of subs position, considering there were a few that could have taken his spot.

Not what we've seen in previous games, as well as the formation, there was much less slow tippy-tappy at the back and we cleared long much more frequently, therefore ceding possession. Who was responsible for this? The other coaches, the players? I thought the formation allowed Souttar to commit to headed clearances more often, knowing he always had cover behind him.

On a difficult case with Holmes apparently.

You could revisit your GP and explore other avenues that might help, if talking therapy has not helped. Feeling loved and wanted gives us a surge of dopamine in our brains. You can try to replace that to some extent through exercise, eating certain foods, good sleep, laughter, sunshine etc. I know it's really difficult to dig ourselves out of these holes. I wrote down a plan of what I should be doing and tried to stick with it. There is light at the end of the tunnel.

Surely it's free hit for any new manager now? Challinor or Edwards would enhance their CVs if we got promoted, but if they failed the narrative would be 'it's a basket case of a club'. I don't see what someone like Edwards gains, waiting for Watford or Preston to sack their managers, he would want a go at a bigger club.

Carlos Corberan is available having been sacked by Valencia in September. I very much doubt he'd come to us in our current postion.

Surrey have just signed Henry Crocombe but he won't cost them anything because he's also just been given a 2 year central contract.

They gave Gumbs a three year deal, so they are putting faith in him. By all accounts he has a strong work ethic. Most top order returns were below par in the second half of the season due to the dry pitches.

He's says enough. Lack of right culture, leadership, work ethic, identity in the organisation.

ECB pays the whole lot. In addition he gets match fees for England/Lions appearances.

Recruitment is random, not as a result of detailed planning and research. When I saw all these umpa lumpas coming through the door I knew we were in trouble. Mcfarlane is more physical and athletic, but he's raw and inexperienced. Joseph is a better profile on the right but injured unfortunately. Ideally you need to sign players with pace, athleticism and technique, but we've been signing players with none of those attributes.

I've just entered a few ballots. Cheers for the heads up
