Re: Matt Bloomfield to Luton?
I’ve been meaning to ask, and sorry to derail the thread, but as someone is probably the youngest person on the gasroom, why is it called the gasroom? I assume there’s a very valid reason but I have no idea what it is…
Re: Matt Bloomfield to Luton?
Clearly very deliberate that he keeps saying he feels wanted at Luton.

You really don't like not knowing stuff do you?
Which must make things very tricky
Re: Match Day Thread: Beaconsfield (Berks & Bucks Senior Cup)
Been impressed with Jack Matton & Ryan Cole.
Ward, Christie, Peart, Bartolo & Woodhouse have all been ok when they have come on but all need to do a bit more - playing rolling subs (not sure of the limits on times on & off).
Triallist 2 has looked decent going forward & Triallist 7 has had flashes.
Re: The manager post Matty Bloomfield?
Good luck Matt, thanks for some very special memories.
Our path lies with Dan Rice and the ownership group. The momentum is building for the way this club's story will develop over the next 5 to 10 years plus. As fans, we are but passengers on the journey (for better or worse that decision is ancient history now). I remember reading posts in times gone by about wouldn't it be great if a billionaire bought us and we chased the dream. This is the start of what that looks like!!
I do wonder if 'the long term project' was to build a team for a promotion push by next season or the season after, when the academy might be settling in. But our short term success has accelerated plans somewhat.
I have no idea who will be the next manager - strike that - clearly it'll be the head coach, but whoever is picked will definitely tell us a huge amount about the project.
My take is that the differences between MB and DR were probably managed amicably. Taking the Guardian article at face value about Matt being interviewed at Millwall, its possible Matt was told quite clearly what the long term plan was and he should look to make the most of his success by securing a decent role elsewhere.
It was also an interesting point about the new players coming in from Scandinavia. But I also hope our players cope okay with this change. It would take a humungous effort to get some consistency back and starting with taking 3 points at Mansfield. Good luck guys.

I know it shouldn't... but that did just make me laugh
