While we still have any chance of play offs then I'm more concerned about this season. Of course, if we don't win today then I imagine MR will rest him for the last 2 games anyway, but for now we can worry about next season once it comes round. Who knows, but by the time it does he could be...

That's as maybe, but we are still better with him than without him.

Why not just pay in installments?

In regards to the back 3, our style of play limits us slightly in the type of centre back we can go for. Ideally we want a physical and domineering type centre back, and also one that is lightning quick. However, whoever those players are they will need to be also comfortable on the ball, and in...

I feel like we've lost out now too, but win at West Brom and I will probably start to think otherwise.

With Walker he just needs this season to end, go away and have a good Summer break, and put this season behind him. Come next pre season he can then start again and treat it as a fresh start and a fresh opportunity. Hopefully if he stays injury free and can get his confidence up he might yet...

Yes, Blackburn offered 3 or 4 times more than we'd just paid for him. Telfer really was a strange one - not the slightest bit interested in football, but had a long career and was deemed a bit of a wholehearted player, however else his qualities may have been viewed. Apparently he could ping a...

This I agree with you on. Like when we sold McSheffrey to Blues, just after he had scored the winner against pre season favourites, Sunderland. Blues end up getting promoted, and we probably finished 17th (haven't checked if we did but that's where we always seemed to finish until we got...

I thought you were setting out a scenario if we lost one of our forwards? Even so I don't think we can expect much from Waghorn or Walker next season, although it would be a bonus if either could put this season behind them, and perform as we had hoped they might when they were signed.

While that's generally true, we do seem to have struggled against Bournemouth since we came back to the Championship, and we have also sometimes struggled dealing with a quick turn around in games. The crowd could have a big part to play today so let's hope we turn up in numbers, make it...

Given a full squad available it is touch and go whether Godden would be a definite starter these days and moving forward, but how often do we have that luxury? We need decent back up and Godden provides that. To adequately replace him would be much more costly than his 8k a week. MR sees value...

Only as long as Vik remains fit throughout! It's amazing someone in his position where you always likely to get kicked or receive a head injury has not only been available throughout, but also played the full game in nearly every match. Not sure we could rely on the same happening next season...

While 10 points still gives us a mathematical chance, realistically we need to win all our remaining games to make the play offs. Monday's game is big - just hope we can win again and keep it interesting for a while longer.

Like we did this season with Waghorn?

We always seem to draw against them, and I think that is the likeliest result this time round. The uglier the game the more it will suit them. A big deciding point could be their pitch. This time last year it was rock hard & bobbly and we had to adapt by playing the ball forward earlier, rather...

and over only 42 games

Gyokeres is player of the season for me, and the one of our big 3 I least want us to lose as I think he will be hardest to replace. I suspect he is the most likeliest to leave though, as I suspect he will command the biggest fee.

I didn't see that. If he did though then he was spectacularly stupid, given he has 5 more games to play where he now can't afford a single booking.

Thought he was a little unlucky with the booking yesterday. I suspect if another player had made the tackle they wouldn't have got booked.

Who knows? I don't imagine Waghorn joined us not expecting first team football!! When Patterson was rumoured last Summer I wasn't over keen, as I felt a lot of people that were pushing to sign him were doing so for 'Cov Kid' sentimental reasons, but his performances this season have been good...
