Where is everyone?

Are they all hanging on for a refund for missing the last nine games?

Get signed up, if only to pay for the fun you had on Bru during lockdown.

[Northumbiron]

Another 21yo!

Meanwhile Gilks goes to big money Bolton as player/coach.

[Northumbiron]

Well he’s available Pat. Left Solihull by “mutual consent” at the end of January.

[Northumbiron]

Geoff Hurst?

[Northumbiron]

1st choice Adkins.
2nd choice Flowers.
Avoid Slade, Hill, Jolley,

a lot of teams have had to offload their more experienced and therefore most costly players.

So where are they and what are they going to do? They can’t all move up a division to clubs with more cash to splash.

They’re going to have to accept a shorter term contract or a pay cut or both.

Jordan Clarke may be an example.

I’d invest in a pair of corduroy boxers Brian. A couple of your predictions may return to bite you on the bum!

Eg – “this will almost be a great season for Lewis” & “Goals won’t be a problem”

My glass has a crack in it, so if you tilt it one way it leaks badly.

My concerns are – still no depth of leadership and experience. Take Clarke an KvV out of the equation and we’ve little in the way of either.

We are lightweight in CMF. We know how important Lund was before he was sold on and in our play-off seasons the contributions of the likes of Matt Crooks and Ryan Yates were critical.

But my main worry is that once again we will have a manager coming in to work with players he didn’t sign.

You’re not telling me that negotiations between Swann and Wilcox went on for four months!

How about a sweepstake on which players will be shipped out on loan without kicking a competitive ball?

Dales and Olomola must be packing their bags already!

[Northumbiron]

Welcome back Brian!

[Northumbiron]

Cheers Matt!

Yes, working super-quick. Too quick in fact. Not giving me time to check the “keep me logged in” box!

[Northumbiron]

System keeps logging me out whilst reading multiple posts.

Also threads keep disappearing and reappearing!

Anyone else suffering this?

[Northumbiron]

Depends whether the stable is full of thoroughbreds or donkeys!

Worked for Peterborough!

Found a picture of Manny Onariase on the web. Had to do a double take to check if it was an Iron or Irons shirt he was wearing.

Captain Jordan Clarke on the flight deck then.

Didn’t see that coming. Must have been to Lourdes during lockdown!

[Northumbiron]

Or Keith Hill!

[Northumbiron]

Already been. Watching Chester in the Evo-Stik a few years back.

Dunno if they’ve done improvements to it since but it was a proper non-league shed then.

[Northumbiron]

Sunderland have thirty-odd thousand fans to help them out.

We don’t have that luxury!

[Northumbiron]

On the evidence of the past twenty years I’d say Wigan were the bigger club.

So not sure what your point is.

[Northumbiron]

Must be John Lundstram then!

[Northumbiron]

Said I was concerned, not surprised.

2/10 for comprehension.

[Northumbiron]

Well the houses will all have nice lawns!

[Northumbiron]

Another good podcast.

Interesting stuff and Charlie, like Tom Hopper, comes across as a level-headed young man.

Once again the quality of Mirf and Murray is highlighted. And the importance of Lucetti in Alexander’s early successes.

“Contractgate” cropped up again too.

Good luck to the lad at Northampton.

[Northumbiron]

Call me old fashioned, but I’d prefer the new manager to be in place before seeing any new signings.

If Russ is back with the U23s and Turnbull has left the building who is making the decision on new players?

Slightly concerned 😕

[Northumbiron]

Should be in good nick. It had plenty of shit spread on it last season.

[Northumbiron]

Isn’t August 1st our usual signings date?

Well we’ve been here before!

[Northumbiron]

Isn’t that a pagan belief?

[Northumbiron]

I reckon our “Burton” suit was worn out when we got it! Spent a lot of time in the wardrobe.

[Northumbiron]

Not the drive-in movie theatre is it?

[Northumbiron]

Aye, a bit like finding an Armani suit in a charity shop. Buy it, wear it once then give it away to another charity shop!
