    Exactly which makes no sense. Next week we’ll be lucky to sell Vik for 2M. Heard Leeds now want Hamer. So tired of all the speculations. Just tie up both Hamer abd Vik, point a gun at them and and tell them to extend their contracts for another 3 years. Job done.

    CT Article…Sorry, it’s bollocks

    The way I see it, DK needs to see what a great opportunity he has in front of him and should do all he can to fast track that 5 year Premier League plan of his. I mean he was barely 6 months in charge and was a whisker away from the EPL. If that doesn’t inspire him to be more ambitious and to...

    Breaking News!

    I still feel gutted by the loss, but will not hold a grudge against Dabo for the miss. We didn’t start well (probably should’ve played 2 up top from the start), didn’t defend well for the goal, were very lucky to only be 1 goal down at the half and scored the 1 real chance we had and missed a...

    Transfer targets

    Apparently defender Wes Harding from Rotherham is leaving on a free and we were reported as one of his suitors. Age is 26, can play multiple defensive positions and can take long throw-ins. Might be a decent pickup.

    Dabo released

    I tend to agree. It's harder to strikers to keep scoring at that prolific rate season after season. McNulty couldn't sustain it at a higher level after making the step up, Bamford was decent for a season or so and now looks a shell of himself, Pukki was good at this level but not anymore (likely...

    On a positive note

    Based on todays article (see link below) I’m a little hopeful we can convince Gus to stay. If you told me I could keep one from the Gus/Vik pair, I choose Gus all day as he’s the engine that keeps this car running. We have to fetch at least 20M for Vik and reinvest that while his stock is...

    Dabo released

    I hope he’s not asked about the penalty miss in future wherever he goes. In any case, the only way to ensure “that penalty” doesn’t become an enduring memory is to get promoted as soon as we possibly can. Many have mentioned our team spirit taking a hit with the departure of Dabo, but we need to...

    Dabo released

    If this is true, I am not entirely surprised. Was a loyal servant to the club and thank him for his service. Was instrumental in League 1, but clearly injuries have slowed him down. I think this will be start of some tough decisions MR, AV and the recruitment team will need to make to take our...

    Exactly. As MR said we have use the pain of the playoff final loss to galvanise us and to fuel our determination to succeed next season. Redemption starts now.

    If we've got money to spend

    I have no qualms about paying top wages for Hamer. Neither should the rest of the squad. He’s been our best player since he came here. It’s not like Waghorn who’s currently the highest paid player (I think) and is clearly not worth it. We need to reward those who are deserving and renegotiate...

    Championship thread 23/24

    We never get any respect. Even when they were showing the key matches of the last day on Sky, they chose Millwall vs Blackburn, Swansea vs WBA, Preston Vs Scumberland, but left our match out. That's okay. We'll fly under the radar again.

    Strikers that could replace vik

    Ross Stewart - has an ACL injury which checks an important box for us

    Michael Oliver

    Linesmen and VAR wasn't bad too. I didn't initially see all the offside/hand-ball goals and the dive from the Luton player. If we had some of the rubbish Championship refs/linesmen yesterday, we would have easily lost by 5 goals at least in regulation time.

    If we've got money to spend

    I think it is very likely we lose Vik as he's already made his intentions clear in the past about playing in the EPL. Fair play to him, but judging by how his goal output has dwindled in the last few weeks, I think we should cash in on him now when we can still get the max possible fee. As for...

    Feeling Sick & Downright Depressed

    Although emotions are still very raw looking back, I am very proud of what we achieved with a threadbare squad and amid all the other distractions/adversities we faced (unplayable home pitch, Wasps/SISU out, DK in, Stadium takeover shenanigans, World Cup break, key injuries). We have to do...

    Change of formation next season?

    Although emotions are still very raw looking back, I am very proud of what we achieved with a threadbare squad and amid all the other distractions/adversities we faced. We have to do everything we can to convince Gus and Vik to stay for 1 more season and add more complementary pieces around...

    Be proud of them anyway

    Yes, I agree with everything you said. Although emotions are still very raw looking back, I am very proud of what we achieved with a threadbare squad and amid all the other distractions/adversities we faced. We have to do everything we can to hang on to Gus and Vik. MR has vowed to improve upon...

    Referee

    I didn't say become them, but we may need to adopt some of the tactics (while retaining the way we play) these physically intimidating teams use and not be so soft.
