Work was work. Never enjoyable. Night out on Friday. Roxy's karaoke and Huddl darts. Saturday was Notts. Had a 20 minute service stop on the way back and managed to get 9 nuggets and a coke in less than 10 minutes, despite all the Norwich fans in the services. Today I've been out celebrating my birthday with @Megan_Elizax. Tgi's, NQ64, Roxy's (again) and Slug & Lettuce.

That was probably one of the worst games of football I've ever seen, and I wish I was exaggerating. The ball spent most of the time in the air. Whilst we've won 3 of our last 4, there was only certain periods of times where we actually played well in those games, plus that of Newport on the opening day. Today, the lack of a clear plan and identity was on show. It wasn't due to Gillingham high pressing us, not at all. When they didn't press, we looked very unsure as to what to do with the ball and where it needed to go. No surprise the ball went out of play for most of added time. Quite a lot of the time, the ball would be played into the channels in hope we would counter press their defence and try to win the ball back, when it got there. There wasn't much in terms of passing patterns or structures. It was all just very slow and a bit clueless. Under Luke and Stu, I could work out what we were trying to do. Still trying to work out what we are at the moment. Are we a possesion based side? Are we a long ball team? Do we go down the wings and put crosses in? Are we hybrid of possession and being more physical and doing the battling qualities more? Like, what are we? Feels like we've chucked away our identity, when it all needed was an upgrade in head coach and tweaks. I've spoken about Gagliardi in his own dedicated topic page, but whilst he's left, the problems he created still remain.

Delighted at this news. For the funds we've made through player sales and staff( Macca, Crowley, Nemane, Bass, Williams, Harley, Lawtey, Scott) and then the revenue streams and (Padel, Nest, Hospitality, club partners) and then season ticket sales, we probably should've aimed higher. I believe the Reedtz bros statement about having a good budget, with not having to rely on owner funding as much now, due to our revenue streams. This increase in funding, has meant a bit more money to play with, money we haven't recruited smartly with. Things to consider here. 1) I know not all revenue and income will go into the budget. 2) I don't expect us to spend big. I do expect us, with our model and how we've recruited since the bros bought us, to recruit smartly. Some big things about this transfer window have made me consistently frustrated with him. This was our summer to kick on and go one step further, however we've not spent money that we genuinely have. I refuse to believe we're spending that much on loan fees. Speaking of loans, we've stocked up on them way too much. Loans should not be the bulk of your recruitment, but instead the cherry(ies) on top of your cake. This leads me on to another point. In my opinion, we could've bought better players than what we have done this window. Some players have done really well so far. Matt Dennis and Tom Iorpenda. Dennis especially, as he has exceeded expectations, with the majority of our fans thinking Jatta would slot straight back in. Iorpenda has given us some much needed physicality and Norburn brings much needed leadership. Luker looked good before his injury and we haven't seen enough of Hall yet. In the CAM department, I would've tried to bring a permanent option, rather than taking up another loan slot. Bennetts hasn't shown anywhere near enough and for the data we have, we bought someone who's played 35 competitive games in 3 years for 3 clubs. This is where we could've bought Vincent Harper, Ben Jackson or Ellis Taylor. Players who've proved their worth and wouldn't cost a fortune (Harper was a free agent). Aljofree hasn't looked comfortable this season and with Ness' injury issues and the news of Macari before the season, there was the chance to bring in Harrison Burke on a permanent deal. Someone who we could've developed and eventually sold on for a good fee. Barry Cotter hasn't been good enough and hasn't shown anything that's an upgrade on Kellan Gordon. We had the chance to sign Macauley Southam-Hales, a 2-time promotion winner on a free transfer. You bring in Burke and Southam-Hales over Aljofree and Cotter, you're immediately improving the squad. Then there's Kelle Roos. In his interview when discussing this summer, Roberto said about researching or scouting the lower leagues in Italy, in his time at Football Radar. How convenient we sign a keeper from Serie C, who has got more poor reviews than good reviews from previous clubs. You don't sign players off of fan views, but the video evidence is there. All of us have seen Roos' performances and his lack of commanding his area and organisation. To replace Bass, I didn't expect us to sign a 33-year old on a 2-year deal with an option of a third, when we could've signed someone younger and someone who we could develop further and again, sell on for a good fee.

Yet somehow, we've managed to beat ourselves on more occasions

Well I saw that Harrison Burke scored for Walsall at the weekend (you know the centre-back that WE should've signed). Then got a reply saying it was tiring that I was mentioning a player I'd put in the recruitment doc again. Just to remind you, not just did Burke win the game for Walsall, he also kept a clean sheet, something we haven't done all season.

Kellan Gordon was meant to go to Crewe, but we pulled the plug on it because we don't think we can find a replacement. Not making this up. I wouldn't be making it up, if I decided to post it
