@Simi_2210_ 20? The 8 holes punched through are 2 holes each, one in the front and one in the back. Then 4 more for arms, head and waist

@RFCLatest No love for Ryan Bertrand here? I’d put him not far behind Upson.

[John Bullock @donjon1966]

@bluewhitewall Neither did I

@etiawneb Not fussed about any result in this tournament.

Results elsewhere though, and more importantly - performances, are worrying.

We have to allow time for a new team to gel, but if we don’t start seeing more signs of improvement soon then questions will have to be asked.

[John Bullock @donjon1966]

@RFCLatest As long as it’s not at the expense of another addition/squad member, then 100% yes. If/when we pick up injuries, he’d be a great back-up plan.

May not even make the bench most weeks, but that is the sign of a strong squad. Something we’ve not had for several years

[John Bullock @donjon1966]

@Z4RFC So are we saying we want Camara to start??? He’s got form….

Whoda think it!!!

@jcr98rdg Combined age of 103!! 🤣

[John Bullock @donjon1966]

@Jack_urz1871 @TalkReading Don’t talk nonsense! I agree we need another striker, but honestly….

[John Bullock @donjon1966]

@Reading106 Twitter does seem to attract a majority of negative opinions though. If you look at most other social media formats you’ll see a lot more positivity, patience and support for the playing and management team. Twitter just oozes trolls and negativity

[John Bullock @donjon1966]

@BertieBlue1871 It also takes time. Only 4 of those players were at the club last year.

[John Bullock @donjon1966]

@jonathan_lara Only 4 outfield players on Saturday were regulars in the starting 11 last season. It takes time for new players to gel, get used to the system, and understand what the manager wants from them.

BUT things really do need to improve quickly. No need for panic quite yet though

[John Bullock @donjon1966]

@ThemeParkWW Love that place! Enjoy the gnomes!!!

[John Bullock @donjon1966]

@fred_partington Is there any actual evidence that it’s our salary offer that is stopping players coming, or is everybody just assuming that’s the case?

We need to operate within a budget, and if you break that budget for one player….everybody else wants the same and the budget is gone.

@VintageFairFan @yrexperienceg @Pleasure_Beach You can get paper tickets from customer services 👍

[VisitBlackpool @visitBlackpool]

Pleasure Beach Resort has just released this CGI video to show the mammoth scale of its new ride, Aviktas 😲

Set to open next year, the giant spinning pendulum ride swings 120 degrees and will seat 40 riders who face outwards with their legs dangling.

The 138ft gyro ride will be the ‘tallest of its kind’ in the UK.

Who’s up for it?!

[John Bullock @donjon1966]

@EFLNick Yes please

[John Bullock @donjon1966]

@chunnb @james_e1871 Season tickets are still physical cards, so if that’s your issue you won’t be affected 👍

[John Bullock @donjon1966]

@Jamie_Hodder21 @CScott____ @Reading106 Or D) you don’t get anybody because they’re all gone or you can’t afford them!

These are the decisions that have to be made…
