[Bergen]

Some interest in Nkrumah and Vigs, but not Smyth.

Interesting and honest interview.

[tuffers#1]

The likes of Poundy Red & others complaining
about striker transfer get owned by Ling &
The p155 ripped out of em by the panel .

[The Mindsweep]

Fantastic stuff from Martin. I could feel any negativity I had ouse from my body as I listened.

Everyone should listen, especially those who believe every word they read on line.

[Max Fowler]

Did they ask him why we haven't brought in a 9 or 10 that we so desperately need?

[Lifelongfan]

Priority was midfield (as per RWellen request). Not enough for a striker as well in the budget

[aylesburyos]

Good listen. We have 4th highest budget. Extra £150,000 spent in wages in January transfer window. Offer made for LV turned down immediately. No interest in Smythe. Interest shown in Daniel NK but never went further. The match at Northampton changed our tfr priorities.

If the priority was midfield, why did we bring in a bloke who hasn’t played football for a year?

Thanks for the summary.

What does the £150k spent in January mean?

Can't believe the owners are that short-sighted so as to not bring in the 9 or 10 we needed because some CBs got injured.

I'm assuming he's including Sadlier and the wide positions in that 'midfield' definition.

Not just injured but suspended. Just think, Beckles lack of disclipline in that Northampton game forced a change in the entire transfer policy in Jan which in turn could have negative consequences on our title challenge. I’d strip him of the captaincy for that. It’s was blatant that Northampton were targeting him and trying to get him sent off, and he fell for it. Not what you expect from a club captain.

That's a rational response.

I wasn't on here when the transition happened, when did you start this schtick of only talking in numbers?

Beckles isnt the captain Pratley is

Good point. Isn’t Beckles vice captain? I’m sure I’ve seen him with the armband on this season.

its old numbering, think Centre Forward / Inside left

[Proposition Joe]

No, I know what it is, I just wondered why he's pretending to be on a tactics podcast.

When Pratley isnt on the field .
I'm suprised frankfurter didnt tell you .
As for bringing in centre halves
Happe & Ogie were injured before
Omars red card so 2 CH'
were still required to keep 4 in the squad .

Finnally the £150 k is wages for those just
in to the end of the season .

There is more, lots of guffawing by
the panel at those who believe
there is no ambition here !

Him on a pod ?

No extra wages up to June

I'm desperately trying to sound like I know what I'm talking about, that's all.

Yes. Much better to believe every word you hear on a podcast.
