Re: Mike Dodds
Pretty sure he starts off by saying it’s been a “worldwind” at the start though…
Jokes aside, I like the way he referenced both Matt and Gaz for the work in the past and also bigging up Sam Grace and Vokesy for the work more recently.
Clearly has some ideas of his own he’ll want to get across but clever enough to recognise what they have been doing thus far has been good so doesn’t want to throw that away.
The next few weeks and games are going to be interesting to see how things evolve.

Good listen from Dodds. No Revolution more Evolution of the style of play. Baby steps
More Humble and letting the players do the job.
Re: David Wheeler departs
A sad and poignant moment to have to say farewell to another of the heroes of 2020. He embodied the selfless dedication to our cause that has become a vital part of the spirit and culture of our club.
His leaving message shows just how much of a class act he is, hopefully Lomtadze, Rice and Vyshnyakov make it a point of principle that we keep the spirit he embodies as a key part of our club, no matter how much it develops and progresses under their grand masterplan.
Re: David Wheeler departs
What a player and servant he has been. One of the best headers of a football I've seen in the quarters given his height. Up there with PCH. Can't think of many others.

Re: David Wheeler departs
Wheels has been my favourite player since walking through the door, not just because of his class on the pitch, but also the way he handles himself away from it. His keen sense of responsibility and ability to understand that football was a big part of life, but crucially not the only part of life is something that still inspires me whenever we have a slightly dodgy result.
He represented the club so beautifully and I hope wherever he lands next he can find somewhere that not only appreciates his on field ability but also gets how much he adds culturally.
I’ve no doubt David will be successful in whatever he chooses to do after football, if he emerges as a Labour/Green MP for my local area one day I’d certainly not hesitate to give him my vote.
Thank you for everything Wheels - and good luck!

Re: Mike Dodds
I think we can all agree the days of The Stath being a supporting player in a Vinnie Jones fillum have long gone.
Re: You are the Boss! 2025 WWFC Edition.
I agree. Simons will be almost a cert to start from the off.
Can't be long until Scowen has to miss a game or two due to yellow cards or a stupid niggly injury.
Westergaard (I think) will be rotated with Scowen depending on the opposition and his fitness. I was keeping an eye on him v Barnsley when he came on and he made some good forward runs arriving at the edge of the box BUT he also gave the ball away cheaply a few times; which is likely just not knowing the others and being not fully match fit.
