    In the old days, I used to sit down to have a good moderating session, and get myself into the right mood by first reading the thread titles, and imagine banning anyone who strayed one iota from the topic in the title. That used to get my juices flowing, I can tell you.

    That, of course, was before Physiogate. Now I wander in bemused confusion from one thread to another, bereft of any purpose in life.

    Is that a euphemism, @ChilcoSaint ?

    Everything in moderation, that’s my philosophy.

    Commented on Norwich match, then thought I’d better check if I was on the right page. It was the right page, but the wrong book.

    Never mind the wrong book, sometimes I think I'm in the wrong library

    Going off topic a bit away from Physiotherapy, but we are potentially putting together a decent looking squad.
    Start of the window had us with multiple centre backs and generally disjointed look, but if the mooted signings complete, it does look like a side with the potential to click

    Yes. I'm not trying to goad the opposition, I'm lost, and asking everyone around me where I am

    What’s the thoughts on deadline day now BBD exit is confirmed?

    Edozie has been on the brink for ages, so assume this one will finally go through.

    This then paves the way for Scienza, which sounds like it’s progressing.

    Jelert will be announced tomorrow, which could mean Bree off

    Aribo will be going somewhere and there has been rumours of Smallbone heading out the door.
    An additional midfielder will be needed, maybe the chap from Venice or a loan.

    Downes & THB remain players who could attract late interest and one of the five centre backs might be out the door.

    A lot of fans would like to see a Striker, but feels too late.

    I don’t think we need a striker. We have plenty. The issue is creativity and we have hopefully fixed that. If we get Leo then I will be happy with our business, but an extra body in midfield would be nice.

    If we end up with a line up and bench like this:

    Baz
    Mads THB Stephens Jelert
    Charles Jander
    Fellows Azaz Scienza
    Archer

    McCarthy, Manning, Edwards, Downes, Doumbia, Fraser, Robinson, Armstrong, Downs/Stewart

    Then happy ****ing days. Ridiculous quality and depth for the Championship.

    Only if they didn't see him last season or his drop off in the second half against Watford in the 2nd half, all the squad need the international break to gel and build up fitness

    Surely Manning has earned his place now with his two free kicks?

    Manning is better up the pitch than back. Could play left wing…
