    I do wonder if our season is dependent on little Ivor staying? Surely if we are top 6 by Xmas this will be seen as a water into wine achievement Amd with the inevitable new year managerial sackings at West Ham, Forest or Wolves someone may come calling ?

    For that matter - we will be able to keep our ginger genius or the Doc?

    Being a decent side does come with its problems

    Funnily enough I was having an identical conversation with a friend earlier …about Lloyd Jones.

    A real Rolls Royce of a defender, who is never less than an 8/10 every week. You’d imagine other clubs are looking.

    As for Nathan, he’s financially secure after his pay offs from Stoke & Southampton. We are paying him well too.

    He signed a very long contract in the summer. Can't see him leaving.

    The pitfalls that come with success.

    It's been years since we have been in this position.
    We might as well enjoy the good time while it lasts.

    He pulled off a Bobby Moore tackle yesterday. As well as a huge block. Reminds me a bit of Les berry in his prime

    NJ has also been given everything he wants behind the scenes, including total autonomy on all playing issues after winning power struggles with Andy Scott, and then Dr Will Abbott.

    Equally as significant, NJ now has the final say on who sits on the team coach, following the sudden retirement of Miles’ Mum <whistle>

    That is so the way Curbs did it. He was even consulted on the bog paper in the dressing room.

    I'd have always demanded the white one.

    Are we talking about toilet roll, or your taste in brasses ?

    Our players are lucky Sean Dyche isn't in charge.

    He would insist the players use that Izal stuff that looks like sheets of grease-proof paper :emoticon-0172-mooni but isn't as comfortable to use.

    My school used to also use the toilet roll as tracing paper

    NJ never under knowingly sells himself.

    On Rich Cawley’s substack today, he said he’s turned our £1m players into £3-4m players.

    I can think of a few he’s referring to.

    But what about Ahadme, and maybe Kelman <yikes>

    Both signed at his request, and it looks as if we have hugely over paid for both…

    They have fallen out.

    He went from Player of the Month to obscurity in a matter of days.
