The Johnny G Experience

I think the club have been up front about this, it spells out that they want to secure some more regular income, a steady baseline before the unpredictable income bursts of ticket sales and season tickets. If it feels like the club are doing this out of desperation, maybe this was in the pipeline and our situation has brought it forward a bit. I don't see it as a begging bowl at all though. We have 1000+ season ticket holders and that's beyond anything I could have ever imagined, but probably also at least the same again in fans like me who can't get to games very often, and chip in with some merchandise and streams when we can. I can see there being significant uptake from us in the fair weather, follow the match on BBC scores website type of fans. I agree with everything redlichtie86 said in his comment, too.

Two birds with one stone, and a full bench for a change!

That's Utd got enough of a head start, time to unleash the secret weapon from the bench...

For goodness sake leave the League cup and challenge cups alone, you know someone at the sfa might read this. If they do they'll decide they need to add more arms and legs and extra clubs from down the back of the sofa!

I think signing a defensive midfielder would be key. There needs to be someone willing to shield, and offer a short pass to, Little and ToB, so they're not constantly having to chase back (that's where all the rash challenges and red cards happen) and don't just smash the ball up the park when they get it. We have a great wealth of central midfielders who can create chances, but not when every ball from the back goes clean over their heads. Even Stewart at left back would look a better option if there was a DM to drop in as cover when he goes forward and cuts inside, as that could be really effective. I see folk here talking about having a strong squad, and I don't think that's untrue, but only if and when they are playing to their strengths. I think that's only going to happen when there's a defensive midfielder and enough defenders in the squad.
