Strange comment from Nathan Jones about Adebayo, saying that his price would have doubled if he had waited until the summer to sign him - but he would have been out of contract in the summer!
And don't get me started on the refusal of the club to announce the length of Adebayo's, or Naismith's...
Not me I'm afraid. Look back over the past couple of seasons and see how many chances Cornick has set up for Collins, which Collins has mostly missed. And how often does he have any other options in the box? Look at his pass to KDH last Sat when he did have an option. Remember that Cornick was...
But part of my point was that other clubs DO know. Having sat in on a meeting between agents in the past, I know for a fact that agents and scouts, talk amongst themselves, and to clubs.
A quick look at various club sites is enough to see that most clubs do announce the lengths, I just don't...
Do most clubs publish the lengths of contracts for new signings? I seem to see them regularly, but ever since re-joining the championship we have stopped doing it - in fact only the length of Sluga's 3 year contract has been announced. I understand the reluctance to announce any fee paid, but...
Today's interesting fact.
None of the last 12 games between Luton and Watford have ended in a home win. Five at Luton and seven at the allotments I think.
Let's hope we make it 13 on Sat.
The cap is the same as last season, 7000, but the club is not selling any to new applicants/those on the waiting list, until they know when, and how many, people will be allowed into the games.
Reading the statement from the club, it implies that about 300 season ticket from last season have not...
Don't bet the house on it though.
He started off really well with us, including that stoppage time penalty save at your place (joke of a decision by the way). Then just before Xmas he started with the clangers that cost us a lot of points, and despite undeserved backing from the manager, he...
Unfortunately null and void is just as unfair as any other method, see my comment about clubs who had already 'won' promotion, or who have effectively been relegated already.
In 2020 Parry criticised EFL clubs for suggesting the need for Premier League financial support during the coronavirus crisis, despite Parry having been directly responsible for creating the financial structure in English football which encourages overspending and financial risk taking at...
Unfortunately there is NO fair way of sorting this out and never will be.
One thing that annoys me is the utter failure of leadership from the 'powers', possibly due to things like Sky money. This has had a knock-on effect on lower levels right down to non-league who just don't know where they...
Loads of gaps, and loads of estimates as usual, but this is my offering if anyone is interested. If anyone disagrees with any of these, and has a programme or other evidence, please let me know
538 Notts C
506 Stockport
381 Wrexham
368 Chesterfield
315 Hartlepool
308 Torquay
307 Yeovil
256...
Might be an opportune time to try and fill in some gaps.
So, does anyone have a figure for any of these please?
Bradford C v Cambridge
Morecambe v Colchester
Morecambe v Macclesfield
Scunthorpe v Grimsby
Stevenage v Crewe
Stevenage v Leyton O
Stevenage v Morecambe
Swindon v Cambridge

Hi Les,
I'm still collating this data for myself, haven't posted it on here recently as I thought that someone else had been doing it.
I can post my figures later on in the week unless someone else gets there first. I am missing a few though, so might be asking for some help with these.
Vanni, don't beat yourself up about it.
I always do mine on a Friday evening, most convenient time for me, but I know the rules and I know you apply them consistently, unlike others, so if I miss out if the site goes down yet again, or for any other reason, tough.
As you said, it's only a game.
