Yeah. Point away from home just edges us a bit closer to safety. I back us to do it #wafc
Satisfactory is the word. Not amazing, not terrible but satisfactory.
#wafc
Taylor is sensational at this level. How on earth have we got him on loan from another League One club?!?! #wafc
Smashing strike. Rafa did great. Top finish from Moxon. We deserved that #wafc
Chapman beaten in the air far too easily for the goal. #wafc have to protect him in those situations
It was a great goal by Weir and an unbelievable save from Tickle.
But Joe Hungbo changed that game so I go for him
Miles and miles better. We have a chance again #wafc
State of our pitch!!! #wafc
Yeah. I saw that. Player wages at something like 150 per cent turnover. Squad stayed pretty stable this season too 🥹
I saw Burton announced £8m+ losses last week. Wage bill up more than 50 per cent. Obviously a contributing factor to Caldwell returning to #wafc was the Exeter trust recognising their (relatively low) wage bill needs cutting. At least we have a secure owner but the landscape feels frightening
Appreciate it, thanks Will. An unexpected trend after the fan-led review anticipated the other direction. Maybe Sheff Wed’s parlous position might create change. Luton, like us back then maybe created distortions? But there will be others in future. Need for a recruitment equivalent of Lauren Jones?
Appreciated. So - do those figures take into account the cost of paying Lowe off (& hiring Caldwell) or ‘just’ summer and January recruitment (plus contract renewals)?
Obvious club needs to be smarter… but ‘how’ is key question?
Sorry to lean on you Will - but do you know if those figures take into account the Lowe hire, and paying up of contract?
Seems certain costs of running L1 clubs have increased. No denying that. But the #wafc escalation seems wild.
The figures seem unsustainable… hence the worry
The #wafc FAB has some confusing messages. @willjpatterson.bsky.social - were you there? Can you elaborate?
These bits are confusing:
When I read that #wafc ‘should’ve signed Benn Ward’ ahead of Reading, I understand the sentiment but wonder about the probability.
Reading may have more cash than us - we spent coming out of admin too (so we’ll leave that to them) - & both he and Richardson are represented by OmniSports agency
Before the sendings off we might have held on --- but we did look short of quality and numbers at the back. Wing-backs looked better briefed under Caldwell than Lowe, but neither Weir or Murray are natural to the position (Weir did OK) and Sess isnt a wide centre back. Might be a wingback, though
It's Taylor, isnt it?
Hope we dont lose heart tonight.
I really think both reds were soft, and the referee has given them every 50-50, but ill discipline has cost #wafc here
Hard to take, that. But it’s been coming. #wafc
Softest red you’ll see. But he gave the referee the opportunity to send him off #wafc
I know he spent money - but those lads and others were sold for multiples of what they cost. I appreciate that, like all, they needed paying. Freebies like Perkins and Burn also inspired. And others fail with more.
I think the missed penalty cast a long shadow over how some saw him.
We have a new hero!!!!
Problem is that he's on loan.
'Taylor's on fire, your defence is terrified' #wafc
I like Gary Caldwell. I felt really disappointed when he was sacked and think he’s a great fit to #wafc.
But I do think it’s weird that his stock amongst fans might be higher now than when he won the league. I think he is easily our most underrated title winning manager
For definite
Astonishing that their lad is proclaiming innocence here. It’s a yellow all day. Rafa had to go off. Claiming no free kick.
Incredible #wafc
Wing backs without players who play wingback continues to challenge us #wafc
Interesting interview with Lauren Jones, who has also joined #wafc with Caldwell and Perkins: youtu.be/EQnzWQZ444s
All seems to fit quite well with the analytical ways the Dansons see the world generally
This is class from Exeter City and Gary Caldwell. Class #ecfc
#wafc
Caldwell even looks like he’s brought his halo with him in the photo #wafc
