Ohh Tommy Johnson

Still not got the hang of it. I think my problem is I try moves when I should just try it in my head. I'll go again Monday!

It's similar to Wordle in that green tiles are right letter, right place and yellow are right letter, wrong place on that line and grey is wrong letter wrong place...but the idea is to swap the grey and yellow tiles about to spell words vertically and horizontally.. but you only get a certain number of swaps (15 I think). You should be able to do it in 10 apparently... I didn't work out a strategy until I had taken a few swaps, for some reason I thought I would get a practice run at it!! Dropped quicker than for me!

My first run was a bit rubbish.. but I think I have the hang of it now. #waffle685 X/5 ???????????????????? ????⬜????⬜???? ????⬛????⬛???? ????⬜????⬜???? ???????????????????? ???? streak: 0 wafflegame.net

Surprisingly my MP (Tory) isn't on that list. He also stood up to Johnson and was the first to get his letter of no confidence in - Roger Gale.

Whhaaat? Surely his priority now is to get his son inducted at Notts?!!

No!!! I don't think we would exist now if the land was owned by the club. Any one of several of our past owners could easily be envisaged cashing in on the land. The fact that it is leased with conditions protects the club. That said, if I were the brothers I would be very tempted as the land provides an underlying value to the club. Given the development potential of the land, it's value is only likely to increase.

Got there in the end.. Wordle 899 5/6* ⬜⬜⬜⬜⬜ ⬜⬜⬜????⬜ ⬜⬜????????⬜ ⬜⬜???????????? ????????????????????

Wow - I'm still pondering after 3 rubbish guesses.

Back to a 4 again. Wordle 898 4/6* ⬜⬜????????⬜ ????????⬜⬜⬜ ⬜???????????????? ????????????????????

I sometimes think of a word that is too fancy, but often if there is a choice of 2 it's the more straight forward word... I never learn though!! Wordle 895 5/6* ⬜????⬜???????? ⬜????????????⬜ ⬜????⬜???????? ????????⬜????⬜ ????????????????????

Back to back 3s! I don't think I've done that before! Wordle 894 3/6* ⬜⬜????⬜???? ⬜????????⬜⬜ ????????????????????

That was very prophetic. I looked in on another forum and it was in meltdown!

3 here too Wordle 893 3/6* ⬜⬜????⬜⬜ ⬜????????????⬜ ????????????????????

I can't see us changing from the possession based approach and hoofing it out / away. We defend by keeping the ball. I do wonder if we can make things easier for ourselves though - could a sweeper like approach work? Have someone quick who can tackle and pass, say Chicksen, playing just behind the back 3 with Jones and Nemane as wingbacks and Bostock being the pivot with help form Crowley and McGoldrick and Macca up top. The difficulty is who in the back 3 could also support Bostock and still work as a CB - Cameron maybe? JoB? Doing that may make for a few more moments to make decisions. It may also concentrate the pressure on one player though as a lot would go through the sweeper and Bostock - mark them out of the game and it all goes belly up, so I can't see us doing that either! (It was fun musing though).

I am a bit concerned about this one. I could see us coming unstuck if we don't apply ourselves. This is the first stickyish patch we have had in a number of years, so it will be interesting to see how we set up and manage the game. All things being equal we should win, but the additional pressure and expectation may just have a detrimental effect. I think it will end up pretty close, but I would love to see us go in with a big halftime lead and then come out and close the game out in the second. That would, hopefully exorcise a few demons which seem to be appearing.

Back to normal today. Wordle 892 4/6* ????⬜????⬜???? ????????⬜⬜???? ????⬜???????????? ????????????????????

I don't think that the club and board are saying anything other than we are aiming promotion at some point. It's the fans that seem to think that means this season, but I haven't seen the club say that anywhere.

The standing charge is so unfair. It allows companies to bake in and hide price increases. Why nobody has looked at this yet is beyond me.... well it's not - these companies support a lot of MPs.

Well... Wordle 891 6/6* ⬜????⬜????⬜ ????????⬜⬜⬜ ????????⬜⬜⬜ ????????⬜⬜???? ????????????⬜???? ????????????????????

4 again.. I think I put more effort in on guess 4! Wordle 888 4/6* ⬜⬜⬜????⬜ ????????⬜⬜⬜ ????????????????⬜ ????????????????????

Doh.. how could I forget Jodi!!! Randall out Jodi in!!

I don't know where that guess came from. I thought I would miss my usual 4, but then inspiration struck. Wordle 887 4/6* ⬜⬜⬜⬜???? ⬜????⬜⬜⬜ ⬜⬜????⬜⬜ ???????????????????? You have higher standards than me... I would have considered that a success!!

I think I would go with this too, but I would put JOB in with Bostock to give us 11 players ????. I would look to bring on Gosling maybe a bit earlier if we are on top to get him up to speed. Initially I thought instead of JoB, but I wonder if it would be better to replace Bostock (all other things being equal) to give him a rest / keep the engine of JoB in case Gosling is still a bit off the pace. I wonder if Cameron will be replaced by Rawlinson too, I heard he had a niggle last weekend which is why he came off. Edited as I have just seen Baldwin and TAR are out suspended so Back 3 of Brindley, Cameron or Macari, Rawlinson with Tipton and Macari (if Cameron is fit) on the bench in case Brindley breaks down. So for me: Slocombe Brindley, Rawlinson, Cameron (Macari) Nemane, JoB Bostock, Randall Crowley McGoldrick Langstaff
