Adam Blackmore and Adam Leitch haven't tweeted anything in connection with this......normally they are involved.
I got a ticket but couldn’t go because of work. It sounded more like a meet and great than the set up we had at the end of last year. It’s in the gasworks pub at the ground.
I’m not going because they won’t take no-deal off the table.
Video should be on the OS tomorrow.

Copied from SW.
evening. Free bar and nibbles.
Highlights
Some injuries due to new style of play. Obafemi doesn't look after himself. Needs to be more professional.
Some targets in mind for this window but they have to be for the long term.
Summer will see overhaul of squad to get us back to where we were ie Europe
PEH on radar of elite clubs in Europe due to his development. That is the model we are reverting back towards. Buy cheap, develop into top players who end up at elite clubs.
Ralph H likes Slattery. Thinks he most advanced in his development. Likes Valery but needs to improve heading. Obafemi another rough diamond.
Ralph K and Toby Steele reiterated about owner allowing all money made by club on transfers and operations to go back into playing squad. No money being taken out by Gao.
South car park to become fan zone on match days subject to council approval. Maybe in Spring or start of next season.
Long term vision is to use old gas works site to be a fan village/zone. Council keen for site to benefit club rather than Sell to property developers. 3-5 years away from happening.
Due diligence on Gao was done by external agency not club directly.
Club actively exploring ways to move away fans as they acknowledge it gives away team advantage by increased atmosphere for away team. All subject to police and council approval.
Ralph H says we are better defensively with 5 at back but not effective in attack as no pressure up top of field. Whereas more effective going forward with a back 4 but not organised enough in defence. Lack quality in one on one situations when defending plus no fire fighter in front of back 4 to protect them.
On the whole positive outlook I think. Seems to be good synergy between both Ralph's but I guess he hasn't had a complete transfer window with club yet so time will tell.

Interesting that boufal is still considered part of the plans going forward ... goes against what I heard a few months back.

Few of us were saying that Boufal makes an awful lot of sense stylistically, if the bridges weren't all the way burnt. Would be nice to reintegrate him.
