I am not a coach (as it may be clear from my posts), however I am often surprise that with 1 goal in 300 games, Caprice is not specifically instructed to find an option rather than shoot.

The lad loves a shot from 25-35 yards! It's great to see confidence but surely recycling the ball has a far higher chance of a goal than one of his shots.. Some of his shots from this season are still rising!
Not to keep banging the drum, Jimmy, but I reckon Matt has told him not to be afraid to have a crack at goal if he fancies it. He's probably seen him scoring a few in training. Just a theory, anyway.

Most of those 300 games were probably at right back. We all know that he has no left foot, so Caprice cutting in and having a swing with his left foot isn't to be encouraged, whereas on the left side he's cutting inside and striking the ball with his right foot.

I suspect he’ll move on similarly to how we shipped McArdle out last season. He’ll want to play and I don’t see him getting ahead of our 4 main CBs

Full of S4!the!! If I recall correctly, we paid a fee for Josh Coley so we're not likely to offload him after a season. Josh Kay (????) came from Tiverton??????? Really??? And the goons writing this nonsense really expect it to be believed?!?!?!!!!
