Brentford insight from Thomas Frank. Is this our future
Football Focus (which is one now, or iPlayer later) there’s an interview with Thomas Frank talking about how he uses data. It’s coming up if you’re quick
Probably a blueprint for where we’re headed, if not almost there.

Hope you’ve donned the thermals, @railwaysteve. “Feels like zero Celsius” but feels even colder if sitting outdoors.
Saving grace - only a very gentle breeze.
Sam Grace to maintain the 30 year unbeaten record at Field Mill.

Re: Match Day Thread: Mansfield
Sam Grace started going to Wycombe as a child in the MO'N years and now he's leading the team out in a league game. Probably only for one game but he must feel.......(sorry, I've started openly weeping)
Re: Match Day Thread: Mansfield
Times have changed when opposition forums no longer criticise our style of play but move on to the size of our support.
Their away support has always been tinpot.
470 away tickets sold is dreadful for a team in the top 3, on a Saturday at 3pm. Think we took more to their place on a Tuesday night on a bad run of form! Just shows how good our support really is!
We took over 900. They've always been a poorly supported club and even in the top 2 still have a bottom 4 attendance average.
Re: Rumour Mill
I wasn't aware that any club had to make themselves open to offers. Offers can be made and accepted or rejected. I would have thought that in every case the size of the offer would play a major part in the level of consideration.
Re: Matt Bloomfield to Luton?
Absolutely Fair. If he ever comes out with his side of the story, but he won't likely do that any time soon. He's getting on with his life and seems delighted with his choice.
Re: New Manager Vote
If Rice always had someone lined up to replace Blooms, I would have thought his identity would have come out by now from someone in the know
Re: Matt Bloomfield to Luton?
I don't disagree with you. But people seem to keep forgetting Blooms obviously still did have a bit of a say, it's less than a week since he told us in an interview that HE wanted Bradley, and HE spoke to Paul Warne about him, and he got him. So to just keep seeing people say he didn't get a choice is wrong.
To be honest this thread is just going round and round, I don't think he should've gone but he has, we have to move on, no person is bigger than the club.
They could've let him go as soon as they took over but didn't. I think he obviously just didn't want to go the direction they want to now. You could argue they have done Matt a massive favour by letting him speak to other clubs now, as if we didn't end up getting promoted at the end of the season his stock might not have been as high, and might not have got a Championship job.
Anyway, it's match day, we all need to pull together and get behind the team today... onwards and upwards !
