    Looks a very lightweight starting XI today. Particularly in midfield, with Bunn up top on his own.

    Can’t see any goals coming from our lads, or even getting into their box for a penalty.

    Fearing the worst I’m afraid!

    He realises how disliked he is, sells up and moves on.

    Not going to happen though, is it?

    A guy who thinks he’s right, and anything that’s wrong is the fault of someone else.

    You of all people should realise that.

    But some of us are feeding off the crumbs instead of going on hunger strike!

    Good to see that one director is aware that fans are interested in this sort of information. Thanks Simon.

    Blimey, at first read I thought it said “One Direction”!

    Wouldn’t surprise me if Swann had outsourced our recruitment to a football loving boy band!

    If he’s as prolific as Sam Winnall was I’ll be happy.

    Exactly a point per game over the last seven, so on current form we’re on course to finish with 42.

    Our form shouldn’t drop over the remaining half a season so we could end up with more. All we need to get to 49/50 is to raise our ppg to 1.33.

    It is doable, keep the faith!

    I don’t know. PCR tests are clearly not accurate.

    PCR tests are pretty accurate, as are LFTs.

    The problems are a) that the new Omicron variant is much more virulent compared to previous strains. b) that a person can be carrying the virus for several days before testing positive, and c) the symptoms are not as easy to recognise as before, being similar to the common cold (but definitely not flu).

    My personal experiences over the past ten days leads me to believe that if you are not testing then you could carry the Omicron variant without even knowing. But footballers ARE being tested, so obviously the virus is being picked up, and to fulfil medical recommendations they are having to self isolate, some with no ill effects whatsoever, others who will be poorly for a few days.

    Vaccinations WILL reduce the risks of both contracting Covid and passing it on to others. So being vaccinated should be seen as a benefit. I would have thought that most professional sportsmen and sportswomen would have taken up the vaccines, but they are of the age where scaremongering about the possible side effects may put them off.

    What I have noticed are some of the statements put out by clubs which go along the lines of … “due to positive Covid tests and injuries”.

    Are some sides using it as a convenient stalling mechanism to carry themselves through into the transfer window?

    Personally I think it is everyone duty to get vaccinated ! But we live in a democracy where people have the choice to not have the vaccine so we will have this situation its a difficult one.

    Terms and conditions apply. Check your contract.

    No Manny at the back which is a bit of a worry.

    Jarvis and Beestin absent too. Covid? Jarvo going out on loan?

    They didn’t struggle to find two goals in the last ten minutes.

    Hopefully we’ve ironed that out (pun intended)!

    For me, he’s too inconsistent and is either a 5/10 or 8/10 rating. When he’s a 5 you can spot it within the first 10 minutes of the game from his body language.

    Didn’t we used to say something similar about KvV?

    It had crossed my mind ‘tash. But if that was the reason why has Gallimore been given game time?
