Can't see it. They spent £30million on a left wing back six months ago. If their funds are as limited as supposed, you'd imagine they'll need to prioritise a striker, a CM, a CB and a goalkeeper

Ollie Robinson has signed a two year contract extension, keeping him at Sussex until the end of 2027. Good news. He's become so important to us in both formats. Oli Carter has signed a similar extension.

The Dog and Peasant?

Faustian pact indeed. But one I'd have taken had it meant us qualifying for Europe. I believe we would have had every chance of making the latter stages of the Conference. Gutted we missed out. 😪

I thought at the time our comeback v Man City was better. But in terms of this poll, B"muff's was the best.

Sussex quoted as 7/1 third favourites in the South Group behind Surrey and Somerset. That feels about right. I, too, was surprised how well we did in this competition last year. Dan Hughes missed the Hants game as his wife was due to give birth. She has and Farbrace expects him back. Hughes...

I think Brown very much hitched his star to Gillespie's wagon. Brown was one of his favourites and Michael Burgess in particular wasn't given a fair shake. When the divisive and unpopular Australian jumped ship, Brown was left exposed and the writing was on the wall for him. I'm told that the...

Not for me. He doesn't have the pace or speed of turn a modern Full Back needs. We need a specialist right back if we're going to progress. Wieffer was signed as 'One of the best Number 6's in Europe'. That's where I hope to see him next year. Alongside Baleba and allowing the latter to get...

The opening post in this thread makes that direct comparison.

If we're to judge Hurzeler v RDZ, it seems reasonable to wait for next season before drawing a conclusion In his second season, RDZ had to contend with a European campaign having lost his two best players. Key players who, crucially, were almost always fit and available for selection. Squad...

Is it OK to be vaguely content whilst still seeing the season as an opportunity missed?

Villa....time wasting cheating fuds...Martinez...... yeah, I'm saving my tears.

A player that knows where the goal is inside the six yard area. Remarkable. Well done Jack!
