RE: Speculation on Appointments and Players

@k-p-in-spain Bournemouth could well be looking for a striker like Britt. You can't see Wilson or King staying put for them as they've established the...

RE: Speculation on Appointments and Players

@redcarred Agree with that. It's less a question of Britt per se and more a question of value for money and redistribution of his wages and potentia...

I’ve no idea what to expect tonight. My only prediction is that I don’t think we’ll need the point in the end.

I don’t see that working for us. I can’t see how we can afford to lose Fry as our only centre back.

I agree. If I were a supporter of any other club, I think I'd be pretty underwhelmed if my club signed those players for that kind of money. Perhaps r...

@redcarred Agree with that RR. One of the questions is, though, how many positions do we have that fill that bill of one senior pro and a good back-up...

Where do we think the club is in terms of money to spend in the short summer break? Lots of speculation and assumptions coming up.... If we make t...

RE: Boro v Cardiff: Preview

For the first time in about three years I’d advocate a back four rather than wingbacks for this game. The simple reason being that we don’t have enoug...

It’s a no from me! The Reading game was great but I saw them as an ok team not giving it absolutely everything. I expect Cardiff to be much better and...

Warnock staying on would make a lot of sense. The club is in a bit of a crisis in my view, just as it was last summer, and an experienced, steady hand...

Well that’s one team that can’t catch us now. Here’s hoping for a draw between Luton and Hull at the weekend. A win for us would be better still but I...

Communication is vital to organisation in any walk of life. If Pears is “a talker” he should be our regular number one. Stojanovic may be bigger, mi...
