Not the same type of player. Eccles is more defensive and would be more like a Kelly position. Westbrooke is probably the most likely to step up into Bayliss' shoes but he's more in the passing vein rather than driving runs forward (which arguably Burroughs might do). From the little I've seen...

Not heard of gazumping? Agreement may well have been in place then at last minute Lincoln come in and he'd prefer to go there. Nothing signed off so tough. I believe that we'd got an agreement with Notts and the player but he reneged on it because he prefered another option that came along and...

I'm certainly more deflated than a week or so ago with the sales and injuries, but still got eve of season excitement.. It's like losing your virginity - it's exciting but you're a bit scared it'll go horribly wrong.

We did. Jamie Allen.

I think we'll see more of Burroughs than Bremang and Bapaga will very much be later in the season if he comes in as he's not signed up yet and could lose him for a pittance.

I think you may be right - The infamous Hickman video stating he was off - Allen being brought in looking increasingly as if he was Bayliss' replacement - Shipley being preferred in pre-season.

He's also not as bad as some make out. He's got deficiencies for sure but he's also got qualities too. One thing he is good at is in front of goal. The type of striker we're missing is one who regularly sticks the ball in the net. I honestly could see him having an Armstrong style influence on...

Ponti doesn't seem to get the rub of the green does he. Last year loan got injured first game when he could've shown what he could do. This year goes out on loan then we sell one of our strikers and his potential replacement goes elsewhere and he would've been heavily involved in matchday squads...

Maybe in something like the League Cup or Checkatrade but if I were MR I'd be looking to keep my powder dry on him until he's turned 17 and we've tied him to a pro deal.

If Bayliss leaves there are potential ones to step up. N'Gandu and Burroughs being the main ones I can think off. Westbrooke can also stake his claim although he doesn't have that drive forward with the ball at his feet and Allen could have been brought in as his replacement - he certainly looks...

Although I think part of this has been due to the issue regarding the owners and stadium, I think in the current media local papers in general don't get much info because it's not their main contact point with fans. They can release info via Twitter or on the website and facebook, whereas years...

I was thinking that myself. If Bayliss goes it may give either Burroughs or N'Gandu an opportunity. Whether they'll be good enough to take it is another question but both seem highly rated by the coaching staff.

But when we added Bright last season would you have said that guy is going to change our season? I doubt many of us had heard of him - I hadn't. YouTube just showed the usual few bits of him looking world class and a horrendous miss against Man City. Same with Luke Thomas. The year we had...

I think 'come down' would be more appropriate.

I have a feeling this entire series could come down to who bats best out of Smith and Root.

If they meet the valuation..... Would probably be a better move for him than some of the PL clubs rumoured for him because he'll play more. I think Leeds might be a better fit if their interest is accurate.

As it stands right now mid-table. I'll go 11th

Warner should've been out first ball but we didn't review. He's then given out not long after for a wrong LBW he didn't review. Good to get the early wicket cos usually not getting that early decision you see the player go on to get a decent score. Not a great start from either team regarding...

Wasn't impressed with the rumour first time round - not a great record on the pitch and the reviews suggested he didn't have a great attitude. If he turns up then I wish him the best but personally I hope there is nothing in this. I feel there must be better out there.

I think they could negate that a bit with a sell-on clause and add-ons. If they let him come here now and he does well, then they'll potentially benefit from it later on, especially if we got promoted. If he signs a new lucrative contract and goes out on loan and disappoints they're left with a...
