RW to say 'should've' within the first 10 seconds of the post-match interview.

Didn't RW say that he hopes that Graham will be on the bench for the Reading game? So about 10 days...

The perfect opportunity to invite a load of NL scouts and put Howes in the shop window.

I have no idea what they paid for Forde, or what his wages are but, as an example, Bristol Rovers are paying Ruel somewhere in the region of 5.5k to 6k a week.
We're up against sheer lunacy.

Kyrell was a pupil in my mum's class when Kevin was playing for us.

It all seems a far cry from 'kids for a quid', 'bring a mate for a fiver', and complimentary guest tickets for ST holders. And a doughnut.

Only an out of work manager would take the Blackpool job right now. It's not the most stable environment, and the remit will be to work with what you've got, make the odd desperate signing in January, and, at the very minimum, a strong showing in the play-offs

The only person that GM ever got off their seat was the sub replacing him early in the second half.

The plan from Spurs might be to give him half a season in League One, see how he does, then the second half of the season in the Championship - as with Harry Kane all those years ago.

I think it's becoming clear that the 2 or 3 players that RW wants to bring in are pending moving GM on, and getting a decent enough loan deal to free up enough funds. It's probably not realistic to expect a permanent deal with another club taking on the full wages.

The distinct lack of ambition comment has to be put into context. Half of the teams in League One have been throwing silly money around and inflating transfer fees and wages way above their means. I get the feeling that, if we survive this year, we'll be up against a lot of teams heavily in debt the...

In George Moncur rumour related news - Noah Chilvers has signed for Ross County for an undisclosed fee.

I’m sure with the right fitness program he CDAJ in league two.

Let's hope that the fitness test at either club doesn't last longer than 60 minutes...

I get the impression that Moncur lacks self-awareness with regard to his contribution to the team. We do need to be careful with any criticism though. Remember when he got substituted against Doncaster? Minutes later his best mate, JC, was so angered that he sent biblical floods and a plague of para...

I would love to see Klopp's enthusiasm and style of play imposed on the England team. Sadly, he has the one thing that the FA don't like - a personality.

I feel the same. I live in Oxford, so might go and throw plums at his new house.

If we're including players that trained with the club for weeks prior to signing, then Ollie O'Neill can be included. I wouldn't count that as a trialist though. A free agent getting 45 minutes to impress on a ploughed field in July is vastly different to a young player with a contract elsewhere tra...

Joe Morrell 37 caps for Wales. Welsh team mates at the club already 131 apps at L1 or Championship & current League 1 Champion Good shout! Although it's strange that Pompey decided against activating a 12 month extension to his contract, despite the manager clearly wanting him to stay, and inst...

Freddie Potts. 20 year old CDM at West Ham. 42 appearances on loan at Wycombe last season, so fits the second loan criteria.

Let's hope he has more ability than the BBC reporter that wrote this

We've re-signed Sanders, paid an undisclosed fee for a released 26 year old, and we open the season away to Barnsley...on a Friday night...

I remember RW saying that Sanders and Agyei had come from clubs where they didn't have to work out of possession, and were suffering injuries while they adjusted to our style of play.
Maybe RW now sees Sanders as not fitting into our system, so happy to replace him with someone that does?

Josh Low. Signed as an exciting young prospect but became home-sick before he even kicked a ball.

I live in Oxford, so would much rather have a local away game and get rid of Bolton.

Hakeeb Adelakun might be worth a look.
6'3" winger with pace, 27, originally from East London. Just been released by Lincoln after a loan spell at Doncaster where he scored 9 in 19.

A meeting between two of the most unpredictable teams in the division.
0-4 Forde hat trick.
