What more do you require
Only one thing. Swann gone.
9 years of feck all he has talked about actually happening makes me a little cynical. I do so hope you’re right WG.

Must have been nice for Keef to be able to sub all 10 outfield players.
Lost count how many times I have wished we could do that over the last 4 seasons.

It’s straight from the Serena Wiegman playbook NI. First 11 softens them up then the youngsters come on and bang the goals in.

I would probably have gone if any of these things had happened:
An announcement that the takeover was progressing.
Signing of a forward (or two).
A statement that the first team would be starting the game – this one has happened but 15 minutes before the kick off didn’t leave me with enough time to get there.

Lewandowski obviously got fed up with waiting and signed for some 2 bit Spanish outfit. Ronaldo still holding out for a call from Lee?

Always been convinced Alexander lost us that play off against Millwall in the first leg.
He set us up for a 0-0 but Millwall came out obviously nervous and couldn’t put 2 passes together. After 30 minutes they were so bad the crowd were on their backs and they were there for the taking.
We kept 10 men behind the ball and saw the game out without even trying to lay a glove on them. I remember saying to my oldest son who was with me that we would regret our tactics in the second leg because no way Millwall would be that bad again.
Cannot understand Alexander. Starts off Jurgen Kiopp and then morphs into Gareth Southgate.

Would be marketing also if they told us few football related things. Just a few suggestions:
What are Ntle and Hallam’s latest injuries?
Is Daniel injured?
When might they return to training and/or the team?
Can we confirm/deny interest in the Aussie lad?
How many more signings does Kieth want to make?
Why have we not seen Foster yet?
Are we intending to play some/none/all of the first team at Farsley?
How many GCSE’s did Cribb get?
I get the incessant tweets to try and generate revenue but a bit if chatter about actual football might just generate a bit of connection with the club and the team.

Many announcements today already.
Season tickets are on sale.
Replica kit is on sale (some of it anyway)
Car parking is on sale (not many spaces left)
We just need to be told Sunday Lunch is available in the restaurant to have the full set!

Not even the whole family – allegedly.

Feeling a little underwhelmed if Regan Ogle is the big announcement.

Sign of the times when we get mildly excited by a lad that struggled to establish himself in the first team at Accrington and Hartlepool

Not convinced he does smiling TW.
Not convinced he does any actual work either based on his record here and many comments from Notts County fans.

If we lose a week on Saturday I will be more concerned.

I really like Rowe. He works his socks off, has bit of ability and genuinely seems to care.
His weakness is he needs a second or two to decide what to do. Not uncommon with young players. He has not enough experience yet to play by instinct which is what good experienced footballers do.
At centre back you don’t get the second or two to make your mind up which is why it is unusual to see young centre backs. Hesitation often leads to a goal chance. The rare exceptions are either very talented or extremely confident or a bit of both.
For me Rowe needs a full season or two at first choice right back. He is the best at that position currently at the club and probably at least as good as anyone we will find in the bargain bin. At full back you can get away with the odd defensive lapse and often get a chance to make a recovery tackle or block. This will boost his confidence and allows him to become an experienced defender. Then move him to centre back when he is ready.
Having a full back that is decent in the air is very useful at set pieces as well. What we save on bringing in a right back we use to bring in a decent centre back as cover for Boyce and Taft. Young is not (yet) the answer to that for the same reasons as above.

Played much better in 2 of the 3 friendlies. Looked shaky against Rochdale when paired with Rowe. I think he is a guy that needs a dominant CB partner to get the best out of him. Certainly good enough if he can be bothered.
