SISU have now been around long enough to be able to make sensible financial decisions. My take: Ranson brought them in, they “invested” say, 10m on players like Westwood, Eastwood etc. They had these players in their balance sheets as assets but didn’t understand the Bosman rule...

He creates enough but also creates a huge amount of free kicks in dangerous areas by winning (if that’s the right word) so many fouls. We have a great free kick taker from wide in Gus. We need to take advantage of those aspects.

I think SISU have enough acumen now to start being sensible. Would they sell O’Hare for a million? Obviously not. £100m - of course and we’d be encouraging the sale. The figure in between is the onion. Most of us would be satisfied with £20m (unrealistic) and pied off with £5m. I do...

I’m not sure he’ll go. I thought (for no reason other than feeling in my bones) he’d end up at Wolves. Don’t know why. I’d be wanting to wait until next window, if we are up there then that’s one thing, if not, cash out and build.

When we first went down we signed Lee Hughes from the Baggies. We would have been the equivalent of Burnley (just relegated and tipped to go back up) and them us (mid table Champ club) at the time. Baggies went up , we didn’t and the least said about Hughes the better. (Trying to find a...

Harry Kane might talk like he chases parked cars but he’s 6ft2 but no one can argue that he scores goals and is good in the air. Where you all going with this? Having a choice of back-up strikers that includes one that can take a leak without standing on a stool is plain common sense.

Easy. First game last season. 98th minute goal. Watch it back. Long ball to Vik, headed down, run on, goal. Imagine Vik injured. No goal. Alternative, another aerial player - possible goal. It’s not all about sitting in the box and nodding in.

No obsession just the mere fact that we don’t have any. You pick your team to play your opponents and if you have great crossers of the ball you want the option of someone getting in the end of it. It’s not just tall, it’s having the option off the bench of a physical striker AS WELL AS a fast...

I’m sure they can change their own floodlight bulbs. It was a suggestion and I’ll stick by it. I personally hope he does well - the lad stuck at going to Uni despite easier options and for that he gains my respect. Huddersfield have taken a punt and are now getting some of his massive 50k plus...

I think at the time for L1 it wasn’t far off. Different requirements for different levels so that the Barrow’s and Sutton’s of this world can progress. I’m think there was a dispensation for time to sort. If not Rugby then Nene Park was a better option. They’d just lost their club and 3000...

And for the record, SISU dropped the ball by not going to Butlin Road and choosing Northampton when they had their giddy fit. 6000 sell out or whatever in that ground plus cementing the support of the local kids for a lifetime would have been far better. St Andrew’s too. Would have rather...

We have one of the largest potential support bases that there is. Biggest city (aside from Leeds I think but they merge into Bradford) with only one club (I think) plus Nuneaton, Leam, Warwick, Bedduth, Treacletown, Rugby etc. Burnley haven’t got our potential. We’ve taken 40k plus to...

Gruff, Do a song per game and give yourself a related challenge like, whatever song was number 1 last time we won the fixture.

Adebayo then for Luton, same budget finished in the play offs. Your move.

Bored of the Hudlin thing. He had potential to be looked at for our u23s. Simple really. There were many times last season when our style of play resulted in crosses whipped in over everyone’s head and we had to chase wide because we had no one on the end. Them’s the breaks

The alternative is that we get Godden to grow his quiff and superglue it firm for match days.

We have a variety of players that can play poacher or pressing striker / workhorse / nippy striker. I think we lack a stand in target man. There’s little point in having players like Gus who can deliver a quality ball high if we can’t nod the odd one in. We have onrushing midfield of Gus...

Dion Dublin. Tell me I’m wrong.

Let me put this another way, for the hard of thinking like yourself: Who have we got that can get on the end of a high cross from open play (that means not CD’s from corners and free kicks)? Go…

I think Bidwell will be the first starter with the notion of Panzo coming in off the bench to use pace and a bit of trickery against tired legs. That all said, I can’t help but think that JCS and Maatsen we’re good players and we haven’t improved on them last season to this. Fadz is a year...
