I find all the guardian sports writers a bit tedious tbh. They come across better on the pod though (except Glendenning).

I usually enjoy Ronay and Liew …not so fussed about the rest though.

Am I missing something in the Guardian article as I read it that he has familiar players in his squad from his time at Birmingham rather than bringing both players in ?
"Cambridge offered a way back for Garry Monk, who has in his squad familiar faces such as Gary Gardner and Michael Morrison, former Birmingham lieutenants"

Presumably it's been amended.

Fair enough, it's not unusual for the Grauniad to make regular errors

Stopped following Glendenning though as he was constantly getting into long tedious arguments with randoms over things he'd said and would never back down. The thing with them all though is they have to focus on top level football and although the players are brilliant the protect itself is getting worse each year as its narrative starts going up its own arse.

Mansfield looking really good in the opening exchanges at Oakwell!

Mansfield looking really good in the opening exchanges at Oakwell! They do, Barnsley on the other hand look like a rabbit caught in headlights.

Barnsley look dreadful. They will struggle this season.

Are Mansfield expected to do well? Seen a lot expecting Barnsley to struggle, so not exactly a shock result? Especially when it's the opening weekend, you'd expect a newly promoted team to come out to prove a point.

Mansfield have kept all their squad and recruited well. I think they’ll do what Orient did last season.
