One of our own, almost always fit and available, great attitude, gives his all, likely one of lower earners at the club. If we had a squad full of players like this, not only would we be far better off financially but we’d also most likely have more fight and hunger too.

Is there no way to change the title of this thread @OWLSTALK? I see it every day and think wow then realise it’s just a poor thread title that’s inaccurate and doesn’t represent the topic within.

Depending on them accepting terms within our budget/cap: Top earners: Iorfa, Borner, Reach Affordable squad players/experienced players: Dawson, Fox, Palmer, Harris, the rest I’d love to populate through league one and two players, released prem players etc.

We have an opportunity in this thread but more importantly in real life to get rid of huge amount of players at the end of this term. I’d love some sort of sensible wage cap putting in, players resigning being asked to comply with that and new additions coming in from lower leagues and adhering to new structure. This season we’ve been played off park by players earning less but contributing more. So all of our big earners can go for me, I’d not lose sleep over any of them going if I’m honest. Some more than others are huge earners and contribute next to nothing!

Just seen that Villa are considering Dean Smiths position. He’s who I wanted prior to him getting the Villa gig, along with much of Brentford’s back room team.

So in your list of players we need to spend money on, some are past it, some have never played a championship game but sure ten a penny, players like fox... Good age, free, knows the squad, experienced championship player. Maybe leftbscks are ten a penny, but players like fox not so much.

How do you go from keeping the best players in the league quiet (first half especially) to letting Brentford carve you open at will? It's madness. There was a ten minute spell where I thought we looked quite good, then a longish ball in between our full back and centreback and we're three down.

I read that in the voice of the guy from ancient aliens, who's always saying crazy stuff like I'm not saying the pyramids were built by aliens but I guess we'll never know the truth. I think you may be overthinking things here, some managers have different views. Thats about it I think. but like you say, we'll never really know!!

I can only go with different people have different views... Like I don't think the chairman/his advisor is influencing team selection, but you seamingly do. Now I'm not saying youre wrong or I'm right. I'm just saying if your logic runs true, why is he extending contracts of players that he is freezing out? Your view may not be wrong, but it is far fetched and runs against logic and common sense.

Now you're getting into the spirit, we have a chance to beat them just like all of the mentioned teams beat us! Up the owls!

So if I follow your logic here, the chairman doesn't want Westwood playing as he behind Jos and now Monk's decisions. But in the same respect the chairman in between those two managers extended Westwoods contract. Chansiri must be even stupider than many on here claim.

I didn't know that no, just checked and you're right they're just above us down at bottom. So it's just the better team, better players, better league position and better manager they have in their favour!

Well he's already missed a few matches so that's clearly nonsense.

Maybe but I live in hope, I'd rather not slate players, managers or tactics before the game and at least wait to see how they play. Either way, I'm sure if the team in form beats the team out of form you'll be able to say see it was because of him, him and him... and if by some miracle the team out of form beats the team in form maybe you'll come on later and say it was also because of him, him and him. They've been picked so all have my support win lose or draw! Up the owls! WAWAW (well most of us).
