Should that not apply to staff as well. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I mean, read the room eh? Apart from anything else - the point about the election is a fucking awful take - the type normally seen on Union Jack Twitter. If it was a populist pre-election thing, I hardly think 12k would have been the figure they would land on. The fact that it's only 12k re-assured me of the opposite TBH. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

YassinMoutaouakil Posted April 8, 2021 Share Posted April 8, 2021 To be fair, we've all tried to take our mind off football this season. For most of us on this thread it's been Indian cuisine. For those officially involved in the club it's apparently either punting PS5s or becoming conspiracy theorists. 6 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Swello Posted April 8, 2021 Share Posted April 8, 2021 Talking of Twitter - I saw that Alan Burrows with one of his reply guys saying that we've spent more on our squad this year than any other in the 14 years since he's been involved (this was in the context of the guy complaining about the upgrades in the East Stand ). I get that we've had about 100 injuries - but the fact that we've spent that kind of money is kind of depressing when you see the return we've had on the park. I think the reason that we've done better than most clubs our size over a period of decades is because we've generally got a good return from our budget - but this season shows what happens when things go the other way. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The P&B Twitter account posted that we've used 35 players this season. 2nd highest in the league. Given Fox didn't even make it out of pre-season and Dunne hasn't kicked a ball that's a genuinely hilarious number of bodies that we've been carrying. Even accounting for injuries (and "injuries" - Hiya Declan) I'd guess there's also quite a drop off in minutes played from the players who have been trusted but a bit pish and those who have been fit but nowhere near getting on the park eg: Hastie generally, Seedorf and Polworth under Alexander. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nope, by my count the 35 who have all played league mins will be: GK: Carson, Chapman, Archer, Kelly (4) DF: Grimshaw, O'Donnell, Gallagher, Mugabl, McGinley, Lamie, Carroll, Magloire, Johnston (9) MF: Campbell, Donnelly, Turnbull, Polworth, O'Hara, Crawford, Cornelius, Foley, Maguire (9) FW: Hastie, Long, Cole, Watt, Lang, Smith, Seedor, Lawleff, Roberts, MacIver, White, Hylton, Robinson (13) We've used 13 (THIRTEEN) forwards...

Ron Aldo Posted April 8, 2021 Share Posted April 8, 2021 If we win a couple of games we could get a couple of fringe players on the pitch for the run in, could we hit 40 for the season?The question is what will come first - 40 points or 40 players. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
