    Write up should be out soon. 
    I thought Dean had taken early leave but he reappeared to answer one last Q and say goodnight.

    Thanks all.

    Interesting start with sound issues - all had been fine just before in the practice. At first we were worried it was some kind of hack but then realised the issue was at Dean’s end. 

    Yeah, he'd borrowed @aliwibble 's laptop  :)

    He's been talking with Curbs! :smile:

    Just read the transcript and really enjoyed it.

    Fantastic that Dean, CAST and all those fans who posed questions can do this. Great effort all round!

    Enjoyed reading the transcript.

    He mentions that within the season we might go 3 down so it was good to see how we came back against Aberdeen. He does realise it ended 3-2 to them?

    Plus his no dickhead rule, I agree with it but in another answer he wants people to snitch on others if they leave the canteen or changing room a mess. That sounds rather dickish behaviour. Either by making the mess or dobbin someone in for it. 

    Otherwise impressed with his answers. 

    Other concerns is that he sounds as if he is fine with 3 at the back and we have all our major targets though we still have problems in defence and up front. 


  • What a man 
    hes a perfect fit for our club !

    Watching it last night, I interpreted Dean's comments as meaning that we wants to create a culture where the group effectively polices itself by calling out sloppiness or any other shortcomings, as opposed to grassing on team mates to management - in effect, holding each other to account.

    No one asked him if he will miss Addicks to victory!

    Did he actually release this as a physical record?, cos if so you know it will be worth a bit in the future. 

    Bet the museum will be begging for it in no time.

    I’d have been amazed if he’d answered the “who is your no 1 keeper” question. Surprised it was asked tbh.

    Great that we have all our major targets,  :D just a shame that with the exception of Alfie May none of them are fit to start. I look forward to see who will start up front with Alfie, step forward Charlie. That's Kirk not methven although either would be equally ineffective. For a club that is "full of ambition" & aiming for promotion our defence looks very weak, wing backs ? ahem. Strikers May & Leaburn when fit & that's it. Have we really got all of our major targets ?

    Great interview. I’m expecting a slowish start of Taylor, Jones and Edun aren’t fully fit.

    We also made a slow start in our promotion season, 2018-19.
    After 4 games, we had 4 points and in 14th position.

    "Peterborough continued their perfect start to the League One season with a 1-0 victory at Charlton, secured by Jason Cummings' controversial penalty."

    Guess which side got promoted? :)

    With a faster start we might have got automatic promotion though.
