    Is that the same spreadsheet that identified Hourihane, Winnall, Mawson, Pinnock, Connell etc?

    You think Cosgrove is a better signing than Connell? Put down the crack pipe. He's had 2 half decent seasons in Scotland but that's it at 27. He looks like someone's mate from the gym who is filling in for a Sunday league team striker who got arrested on Saturday night.

    To be fair you didn't need a spreadsheet to know most of them were good people to sign. Winnable scored 23 goals the season before joining us. Conor was already captaining Plymouth and had scored 9 in 53.

    A mixture. Always was the best option. 1996/7, 2016, 2021, Portsmouth this year.

    Experienced core (1 centre half, midfield general and a streetwise Norwood type up front) and some young, talented flair players.

    I thought the spreadsheet signed young players under 25 Cosgrove is 27.

    Maybe we shouldn't use data to identify players as that's all the "spreadsheet" is. We should go back to the Keith Hill days of sign your mates.

    Kids today are getting into 70's style fashion. It's hip!
