On the field ... I think we are going to struggle. We might change a few little things but I don't see a bit of tinkering making much difference. For me the bad news is that I don't see this as an effort/attitude thing. I just don't think we have much quality.  If we get Dufty & Walker back this will liven up our attacking options and that is my only hope. Speccies may scream and shout & want blood but I fear we are going to watch us suffering until the end of the season. The poor recruitment has meant that our injuries have hit us so very hard and I am far from optimistic of a speedy revival.

I wonder if he will mention the toxic negativity of the "fans" ... who criticised Smith, Price, Powell in the same old sad way.
Neg1 and Neg2 you have certainly made your tiny/mixed up contribution in the wrong direction. 

You need to stop calling people that. 

Oh he's at it again. As predictable as day follows night. I have come to the conclusion he is a bell end of the highest order with a right personal vendetta. Best to ignore him. 

My concern is that we are getting just like RedVee which is the forum that some on here laugh at. No personal vendetta ... just seeing the trend.

I can't see anyone in the British game who ticks the right boxes bar Wane:


Winner
Won't stand for player power
Will support youth


If we can't get him after the Ashes, then we'll have to look overseas but the remit should be the same.


The one, tiny bit of light at the end of the tunnel is the current crop of youngsters coming through or about to.


If we continue to clog the team up with has-beens and mercenaries (and the signing of Byrne and TPJ suggests we will) at their expense, they should walk away.


And so will I - life is too short.
