Looks like I may be absent due to work commitments...

Be a late call whether I can make it.

FWIW: Brown (for reasons already mentioned by others. Book would be a close second). Gill (was never actually as good as he looked in a CTFC shirt). Freeman (put him in another team, not alongside Banks and Victory, and I suspect he'd be mediocre at best. One of my all time favourite players, unsurp...

I can't make up my mind whether you're deliberately ignoring the point or not...

You said you understood the parameters of the OP yet picked Collicutt in your team, irrespective of any other discussion. I think that clarifies that you *didn't* understand the question in the first place...

While I do agree that nobody 'needs' that amount of money, people are paid broadly commensurate to reflect the number of people who can actually do a particular job. Mbappe is one of only a handful of people in the entire World who can do what he does - whereas, say, Amazon pay its warehouse workers...

Not at all. Just think it disqualifies him from the boundaries of the OP. Doesn't disqualify my opinion does it? I guess I could disqualify any of your picks, if I wanted. But I won't be so petty. He was someone who did come through the ranks and played well for us, and as an aside Managed us. Why ...

Just...why?

If I watch all three games on a Sunday, I start feeling guilty and allow the missus to watch Call The Midwife (though I draw the line at Dancing on Ice...)

Not at all. Just think it disqualifies him from the boundaries of the OP.

The operative parameter in the OP is 'EFL'... then mentions Dale Watkins as a sub, don't think he played in the EFL? Good point! OP is a knob. Superdale definitely overlapped with Grayson, though - did he play in our first season in the EFL? I know Jason Eaton quit before we played, but I can't rec...

And I'm sorry, but M Duff doesn't qualify for me - I was there to see his "I'm leaving" game against Notts County.

The operative parameter in the OP is 'EFL'...

I will fight anyone who doesn't include John Brough on such a list.

I'd pretty much include any team assembled by SC - over-achievers, all.

Blimey, they don't believe in posts more than a sentence long on their forum, do they? Some of our contributions must look like books to them.

Assuming they know what a 'book' is, of course...

Kinsella *and* Bonds? Not sure I saw that coming...

Who now? Nothing on their forum, atm.

Hush! Let them read the accounts of the Wycombe game.

Port Vale, I presume ?

This post has an expiration date at the point you change the title - after which, it looks very, very silly...

I can almost hear people now if there's a bucket collection... "SO non-league"......"Little Ol' Cheltenham"

This is interesting: https://twitter.com/kieranmaguire/status/1756259120154280338?s=46 There's some discussion on this matter on the Mansfield thread on the FGR board (the mods must be taking Sunday off, allowing off-topic discussions like this!) Someone on there has worked out that relegation from ...

OH, NO!

Anyway.........

One b@stard, mother feckin', minute out AGAIN.

Blimey...he only played ten games for us?? Okay, I'll let them off if they omit us from his bio, this time...

That's how I read it, tbh - stopped just short of saying "you utterly ungrateful barstewards..."

Odd bit of virtue signalling with the meals on wheels service during covid lockdown - not sure that helped her cause.

Yea, just flicked through an 8-page forum thread (posted in the last couple of hours!) where I'd say about 80% of posters think she's wrong and David Flitcroft is wrong and it's all bollox.

What triggered that??

Didn't he play Duncan in the BBC drama Shetland? Wasn't in the latest series - that'd be why, then.

I'm not certain we will see Keena playing much of a part in any game, going forward.

Hard to make out what happened Exactly...the ref sees it once, at full speed, real time, with a dozen other things going on that he has to keep an eye on, with players who will take any advantage they can by exaggeraging any contact there may be. Yet they're still 'a disgrace' and 'not fit to refer...

Yes, I thought he showed some neat footwork - particularly at that point in front of the away end.

Well, the junction with Humber Road, to be precise...

As I was walking to the match, Gloucestershire constabulary were helping a gentleman into a vehicle. Four cars and a van, lots of blue lights and uniforms. Any idea what was going on? Plenty of onlookers.

First 20 mins, I thought Keena was pretty good - head up, immediately looking for Lloyd with some nice touches. Then they scored and he completely disappeared. Not sure if we'll see him in a Cheltenham shirt, again - record signing or not.

Poor. Rare for me not to stay to applaud the players off at the end - but that simply wasn't good enough.
