    How optimistic are you feeling about next season?

    Scanning Twitter multiple times a day hoping for a signing. People have mentioned it is early days and many other clubs haven't signed players, however I don't think there will be any Championship clubs with one centre back in their squad, and a 36 year old at that. We will bring in some loans...

    Transfer Rumour Panzo coming back?

    It would be a steal to get Panzo back. Hopefully it will happen. Decent on the ball (mostly) and seems a good character.

    Retained List

    I think Wilson-Esbrand will be disappointed with his game time.

    First idols

    Ones that I remember - Danny Thomas, Terry Gibson, Trevor Peake, Peter Ndluvo, Kevin Gallagher and probably my all-time fav Cyrille Regis.

    Potential retained list

    Defensively, we will be left with McFadzean and Bidwell with no juniors knocking at the door. It is going to take some rebuilding to have a workable defence ready to go. Desperately need to re-loan some of the loanees for some sort of stability.

    Eccles

    He still is a little lightweight but he will only get stronger with age. Robins has said previously that he is technically very good. The goal he scored will give him confidence in that regard too.

    Signing Loanees Permanently

    Yea, I never really liked loans as I felt they wouldn't be invested in the club. However that hasn't been the case since Robins came in. The loan players seem as dedicated and passionate as the permanent ones. Credit has to go to Robins and team for that and probably attitude background checks...

    Transfer Window

    Gyokeres has made it clear he wanted away if we didn't go up. People are talking as though Hamer will be on his way too. He too has shown he is ambitious but as far as I am aware he hasn't stated he wants to go. Has anyone heard differently?

    Signing Loanees Permanently

    I would have them all back. If Doyle wasn't so consistent, Panzo would have had more of a look in. I think he showed enough in the first half of the season to show he is very capable. McNally made a huge difference to our defence since coming. Very good in the air, which meant we didn't have to...

    Eccles

    Eccles posted an apologetic comment after an early season personal poor performance. That said to me his confidence was fragile. For him to step up for a penalty when he did showed how he has progressed mentally. I think he is a similar type of player as Sheaf and will hopefully keep improving...

    Play off final ratings

    Thought Hamer was going to create the winner. His injury was crucial. My man of the match. Considering we had a number of players not long back from lengthy injury - Sheaf, Allen and Palmer, it was an incredible effort. The penalties didn't lose it for us, the first half did. Rather than focus...

    If Wilson-Esbrand comes on, l would be inclined to keep Bidwell on and take Doyle off

    Thought Doyle was a little nervy to start but was impressed with how assured everyone else was. Like the way we are playing it quickly across the back too.

    Pretty even game. Gyokeres needs to step it up again. Shame about the yellows.

    Trouble at the game!

    What was with the 20 or so fans turning up at halftime and sitting on the steps between blocks 19 and 20?! Stewards came over to question it and left them to it.

    Wilson 8 (great save. Kicking meh) Norton-Cuffy 7 (looked threatening 1st half. Tailed off a bit. Think Dabo should have come for last 20) McNally 8 (pretty solid all round) McFadzean 7 Doyle 7 (some lovely passes but some sloppy ones) Bidwell 7 (pretty solid and more of an outlet second half)...
