Hearing a lot of gripes about “management speak” - how is a director of football supposed to sound in 2024?

 

We can simultaneously have done well with transfers up till now and have a scouting network/infrastructure that’s not up to scratch. The digs at Ashworth are fine, we have had one Minteh, we need many if we are ever going to overcome PSR. He failed massively when moving players on too. Not sure what’s controversial here.

 

As for deflection, he’s hardly gonna come out and say, “sorry lads, fucked up massively there, what was I thinking?” He clearly believes in himself, and that’s a good thing (obviously the next windows have to be better) The stuff about coming in too late to massively alter the plan rings true.

 

The Howe quotes could be read many ways (and have been). A little bit of friction can be a good thing. I think we can all agree we need more Brighton style signings and maybe Howe and us won’t have heard of them. Hopefully they can work together in the long term. January feels massive, if Howe can keep us in contention till then, one or two signings could have us in a totally different mindset.

 

 

 

Totally mate - but what about little Joe's injury?

His leg muscles do look like they could damage easily, same as Wilsons. They look under tremendous force and pressure.

 

They were fine for a season and a half previously, unless they've developed abnormally since then.

It's kind of strange how much stress his body was put under during 22/23 without getting injured at all until the end. I suppose that getting 2 longer injuries in a row can make you more fragile in general? For example WIlson never really got injured until he suffered 2 serious knee injuries in a row aged 23-24. Even after that he missed 1 game between the end of 2017 and january 2019, and by then he was 27. After this the muscle injuries started piling up.

Yeah I guess wear and tear is a thing. Hopefully it was just an impact injury and his body is actually well mended after such a long layoff.

It's likely turned gangrenous, condidered a medical impossibility given the injury, but compounded with additional Ebola virus
