He’s got the knack of scoring a shitload of goals to help him out, they haven’t and probably never will. Not many have. He's the only one we've had in the last 30 years so it's a bit of an unfair comparison. True, but that make it more baffling when some Town fans put him down. For example, by the time Rhodes was Phillips’ age he’d scored over 100 goals.

Whereas Simpson and Phillips have proven they’re not even League One level in that case then. But they're at the other end of their careers. JR has experience to help him out, they haven't He’s got the knack of scoring a shitload of goals to help him out, they haven’t and probably never will.

Rhodes is proving he is a good League One player. His level. Whereas Simpson and Phillips have proven they’re not even League One level in that case then.

Ajax Second bottom of the Dutch First Divi I’d noticed that and Lyon bottom of Ligue 1. Crazy times.

As I keep saying, anyone who keeps us up is doing a great job. We don’t have the players or squad to compete at this level.

Incredible how Phillips is still on. He should’ve been sent off at least twice by now. Well, actually he should never be playing in the first place.

Rhodes scored again. Meanwhile our other strikers on loan in that division played against each other, were both taken off and are yet to score. If we don’t have money to spend in January, bringing JR back is a no-brainer. Only if he can step back up to Championship level rather than the one he's playing in and that's the 'big if'. He probably stands a better chance than the other loanees we have in that division who haven’t scored and never been successful at Championship level. Ideally, we’d sign a brilliant new centre forward, but they cost money that we don’t have or are prepared to spend.

I’m not sure what anyone could do with such a poor squad. There’s a reason Warnock regarded keeping us up as his greatest achievement. And the reason he’s so sought after and commands the big salary. To get rid of our biggest asset was just madness. I feel a bit sorry for anyone trying to follow that. Promising attacking football without having a proper striker? Not sure who they’re trying to kid.

Just to add, no idea if he did or didn’t, but always comes across as a genuine nice fella. I know the stuff like the coaching youths programme is edited to make him look good, but I’ve no reason to think he’s a twat.

Been off today. Saw something on Breakfast Time about this being premiered last night and now on Netflix. Watched all 4 episodes, it's very good. Some of the shit he's had to put up with over the years is awful. Plus Posh is good on it too. Loads of others interviewed about him as well. Saw a review that said it was good. Funnily enough, I was having a conversation the other day where I was saying he was massively underrated. Because of his looks and personal life, people tended to disregard him. He drove England with his energy and ability for years, played for top clubs and seems a top lad. Rebecca Loos? Well, you would, wouldn’t you?!

Loved the guy when he first arrived on these shores (despite who he was coming to manage) but he's become a (not very funny) parody of himself. No need to replay it. Just give Liverpool the points. It’s what they want. How many unfair decisions did Brighton get last season? Suddenly, because it’s them, they want the rules changed.

What was Kouassi like for Sutton? Blackpool fans already talking about him looking destined for the Premier League after one start. Did you tell Town to have a look? Kouassi was getting increasing opportunities with Sutton last season, mostly as a sub, he got the occasional start. It was expected that this season would be his breakthrough season at Sutton but it was a big surprise when he rocked up at Blackpool. I thought he had a lot of potential, but I agreed with the general consensus that this season would see him as a starter at Sutton. He’s very powerful and strong, good on the ground and OK in the air for someone who is only about 5’ 10”. He’d give defenders a hard time, bit of a unit. I read that he’d done well for Blackpool last weekend. He might be a bit of a Novak-type foil for Rhodes. I hadn’t mentioned him to Town, but I did tell them about Rudoni. You did mention Max Watters as “the new Jamie Vardy” though.

If you think starting an inexperienced striker and getting rid of a player with over 200 league goals is about anything other than money, then I’m afraid I can’t help you. Ridiculous to go into this season with that strikeforce. Even funnier making out we’re a good attacking team.
Nothing against Harratt, Hudlin and the others, but if they have half the career Rhodes has had they’ll be doing ok.
Btw, how many goals did our other strikers loaned to League 1 score today (Simpson, Phillips)?

What a crock of shit. ‘We needed someone whose style of football is suited to the current squad’ How about Neil Warnock, you clowns! Talking about the excellent base he’ll step onto without mentioning Warnock by name once in the long press release shows there’s more to it than they will let on. It’s farcical. "Style of football suited the the current squad" Absolutely gash then? This is the crux of the problem. The squad is dreadful. Warnock’s results since arriving have gone some way to disguising that.

Good of us to give Warnock a few months off so he can come back fully refreshed and save us next February. Well played Town! 👏🏻

Perhaps KN thinks it’s a franchise thing like the US. Either way, it’s going to take more money than we see to have or be prepared to spend. Still, never a dull moment.

Reynolds and McElhenney clearly really care about the club and the community, and it would be churlish to deny that their purchase of Wrexham is a lesser evil. Imagine, for instance, a series called Saudi Mags, where Mohammed bin Salman takes a break from ordering the murder of dissident journalists to go to Newcastle and eat a stottie with Peter Beardsley in Granger Market. And yet that seems like a low bar. 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣 You’ve not got Amazon Prime then. It’s hilarious. One of the best bits is when they go absolutely nuts that the owners are not allowed to sponsor the team through one of their companies to allow them to inflate their revenue and thus increase their spending. They’re genuinely outraged (especially Staveley). Dan Burn reads poetry in the Wembley dressing room in one of those “couldn’t make it up” moments.

The problem is the squad is poor. There’s a reason Warnock regards keeping us up as his biggest achievement. Then him saying we should be pushing for the playoffs is classic trying to build the players up (and look good himself now he knows he’s leaving). So, whoever comes in, has a difficult task in my opinion. If you’d said at the end of last season, we’d be starting Harratt as a sole striker would you have been happy? Of course not.

Just been told that compo was agreed with Bradford this week for Mark Hughes. Cartwright appointed him at Stoke and has been keen to get in him since he joined us Suddenly, Nathan Jones sounds appealing.

Interesting time to recruit a head of recruitment! 🤔😂👌 Says hes been working his notice,,,so presumably he was lined up as soon as Cartwright got the job but hasnt been able to start in this window thats just closed. Yeah, I noticed that and think that must be the reason. Not ideal though!

I’m interested to know which managers people rate. All those mentioned seems alright to me! De Zerbi is brilliant. Unai Emery will have Villa going very far in Europe. In the Championship I'd say Kieran McKenna looks decent, Alex Neil is always doing well it seems. Ryan Lowe too. What a start to the season for Preston!
