great angle!
Can’t wait to see that angle! And yeah, who knows, Bolton obviously an excellent side but have draws in them (three of their last four results!). I’m trying hard not to get carried away…
What a strike it was!! Definitely a free hit on Saturday, but then a huuuge one against Luton, who we can be confident against given our great home form + their shambolic away form...
There were 2,967 suspensions at one of these schools in 2023/24. As the article says, this 'equates to nearly 16 a day, based on a standard 190-day school year'.
We're told to focus so much on attendance - sure, in many ways rightly so - but what's the incentive here?
Just remarkable. This isn't an anomaly, there are increasing reports of incredibly harsh discipline at schools up and down the country, and there's no form of meaningful accountability.

How do we reconcile this with the stressful and unhelpful impacts of 'exam-ification' in our schools? Genuine question, I'm really torn
Our new report is out! State Expectations: The history and experiences of fee-paying independent schools converting into state schools.
After VAT, will more private schools want to become state schools?

Yeah, think Anders will get another start, though maybe Duff sees Burton at home as an opportunity to mix it up. And it would be interesting to know how the game would have gone if Lowe hadn’t scored so soon! I wonder how much limiting Stevenage was the changes as opposed to the goal (likely both!)
When you lay out everything against them, Bodo-Glimt's run is probably European football's greatest feat since Porto 2004
Like Leicester 2016, though, the fact it is so unlikely raises questions about the system - especially one with six PL teams

Wycombe are loving their home comforts lately, making it three wins from three in South Bucks. Here's a take on Saturday's game and our prospects for the rest of the season. Oh, and Nathan Lowe is indestructible.

Means a lot mate, I always ask myself what you’d think before I speak!
📻 Amazing to be back behind the mic for the best football club on the planet.
An ultimately unsuccessful trip to Berkshire on Saturday, but with plenty of positives to take into the back-end of this season. Some pre-Exeter reading...

You’re right, defensively we look fantastic, though I think it almost stops me from forming an opinion on Norris. He’s not done anything silly since Luton, really - and he could have easily lost his way - but at the same time, do I trust him if not for an amazing backline? I don’t know yet
Agree, think he’s been liable to a couple of defensive mistakes lately (most of which he’s managed to get away with), but I think he’s excellent going forwards
My favourite afternoon watching Wycombe in some time, and a real statement of intent as we go into the last few months of a turbulent season. Some thoughts...

Thanks mate, very kind!
Utter privilege and honour to be on the mic at Wycombe on Saturday. I spent a good ten years often having to listen on the radio from Lincolnshire, so it’s an amazing feeling to be on the other end of it. Thanks so much to Matt Cecil and Luke Ashmead for making it happen.

Please do share this doctoral opportunity with MA/MSt students - four years of AHRC funding to work on the history of children's play in Wales, supervised by me and the lovely and brilliant Dr Jacky Tyrie. Any questions get in touch! www.swansea.ac.uk/postgraduate...
This should be good! A niche angle on private schools moving into the state sector. Always an interesting discussion with PEPF and the report has been written by some great people, so I’m excited to read it
Agree. I think Duff rates Mullins highly but we need to get into a rhythm of him being able to dominate the ball. Think Doncaster is a good opportunity to experiment with the system again. Also wonder what role Vidigal will play
Eight years? Eight?!
It may have been a 0-0 on Saturday, but waxing lyrical about Aaron Morley’s return was incredibly fun. Also shoutout to my younger brother, who is stitching together a little unbeaten run in the games he’s joined me for.

Yeah, I agree with you and think that’s why we’ve not seen him start as much as we might otherwise. Think last night probably obscured those shortcomings by nature of the game and that Wigan just aren’t that good
(sorry everyone else, I promise I'll use my SubStack for history, education & politics as well as my football obsession...)
A much happier read today after Wycombe's win over Wigan last night. Hopefully this offers a measured yet positive reaction going into the end of January...

Thanks!
