Its a big summer and one that will be another building block phase. Still some players needed to be moved on and some out of contract that will be gone come June. We will need to add 4 or 5 again, but really need to get 2 or 3 of Howley, Burroughs, Obikwu or Andrews to step up and force the way...

If any fan doesn't think the club has improved since the arrival of Doug then they never will. The evidence is for everyone to see and its still very early in that process. If you see it but place it down to luck you will concentrate opinions on his personal investment rather than the...

Know a few Everton fans, they cant believe they didn't hold him and develop him. They were pushing him out the door instead of working with the lad. Everton just needed to money, right player wrong club. I think we are the right club at the right stage of his career. He picked smart and has...

Said from the start he has made it as a pro on his natural physical attributes of size, pace and strength. I honestly don't think he has been coached properly as a pro by anyone until he came to us. He has been on loan to clubs who just used him without care of development or at Everton where...

I don't think its fantasy to think a multi million pound worldwide industry could use technology to get the desired effect they seek. It happens in everyday life with everyday things. And to say its a conspiracy or someone is a conspiracy theorist for stating the obvious isn't right. Now...

The decision for the pen was made on field and hard if not impossible for to him to over rule off it. If the pen wasn't given on the field he would of not given off it. Now all goals are checked, but if you wanted to you can make any decision that is tight offside to match the outcome you...

We have to constantly improve the squad if we intend to gain promotion. That includes making tough decisions on some of our younger players and older players that have got us to this point. The 5 out of contract players will not be back, other players under contract i don't see being at the club...

We definitely gained more than we lost yesterday, we belong in this company both on and off the field. All these games become important building blocks along the way to the main goal. You have to keep pushing on and every stage you see who can keep walking with you or is being left behind. We...

He is getting better and just needs a pre season bit more bulk needed and we have a player that can make an impact in the squad .

I think we will see a mixture of players. Ones that have come from lower divisions with potential step up. And a couple that are established in respective leagues who we think are technically capable of stepping in. Either way the incomings will all need time to bed in and to impact the team...

DL leaving will have an effect on the training and will effect certain ways they set up. But generally its a team shape when we haven't got the ball. So certain errors are just individual brian farts as they are still pretty inexperienced group at this level. Probably why Bidwell doesn't really...

Building the squad on loans players is different than adding depth with loan players. Play off final we had 3 loans in the starting 11 and 2 coming on, with none of them signing with us after. They were all development loans which although successful for that side, didn't turn out successfully...

I think Burrows would be good pick up but im sure lots of clubs will be in for him. Price is going up by the week and Boro are very good at getting top price got any player.

Its a big summer for him its sort of make or break at the club. Pre season he needs to show he is making progress to keep him in the squad. He has something but needs to show it or he will get left behind.

Its handball anyway his arm was way up. But this ref has all wrong so far. But saying that they look a better side
