He's training with Burnley trying to earn a contract but nothing signed yet according to the news article I read.

He's training with Burnley at the moment, would he be worth signing on a free? I know he's nearly 33 but we have been crying out for a bit more creativity and experience.

Is it worth the reported £500k loss?

As a metric to look at more than just the end score it can be helpful when judging a teams overall performance. However the only one that actually matters is the points column in the league table. Having fabulous xG and xGA shows that we aren't a million miles away from getting decent results...

There is a guy who sits near me at the CBS and likes spouting that he's in the know about X,Y and Z. To be fair to him the majority of what he says turns out to be true, Palmer not being offered a new contract and O'hare going being just 2 of the nuggets that he's shared on a match day. The very...

I'll be honest and say that out of the 4 CB we currently have i'd rate them in the following order: 1 Thomas 2 Kitching 3 Lati 4 Binks Kitching has certainly got a howler in the locker ready to bust out, generally in the form of a red card but I just think he offers a bit more than either...

Personally I think Frank should be having an honest conversation with Sheaf about his intentions. If his intention is to leave then hand it over to Doug to get the best deal possible, if there is an appealing deal to be had now and we can bring in a replacement then do it this month. If not...

So Blackburn are interested in signing Liam Kitching on loan, thoughts? If it's true that we are trying to sign another CB on loan ourselves then I think it would be a good move. It gets his wages off the bill and potentially gives him some game time.

How do we stop Keepers pretending to be injured and halting the game so their outfield can all go over to the bench for instructions? We've had it happen to us at least 3 or 4 times this season that I can remember. Surely a change in the rules needs to be put in place. Something like in that...

Every Manager / Head Coach will undoubtably have their favorites. Maybe it's a player that the boss just has a higher level of trust in. So, who are Frank's favorites so far (and yes I appreciate we are only a few games into his tenure). Norman Bassette - Based on what he says in his interviews...

Surely the style of play or tactical approach we recruited for was whatever Mark Robins wanted. That recruitment is null and void now as Mark Robins is no longer the man in the dugout. Frank has inherited a squad that whilst i think everyone will agree has some good players will not be the squad...

I doubt King will be willing to take a massive hit just to move him out unless there is a real problem behind the scenes. Could a short term loan out in January be worthwhile exploring? Get him playing regularly, potentially get his confidence up and then he comes back in the summer with a fresh...

The same was true for McFadzean and look at the difference he made to our team.

For a while now I have had little to no confidence in the Goalkeeping department as a whole, that includes the Goalkeeper Coach. What does he work on them with all week? Maybe he is the problem? Our Goalkeepers don't seem to develop and that is worrying because we have a couple of young keepers...

With last nights win again Blackburn fresh in the memory I thought I'd do a little digging around to see what the average points per game is in order to finish 6th in the Championship and therefore make the play-offs. Turns out the average is 73.9 which equates to 1.61 per match across a 46 game...

It's a decent long throw but we need to make damn sure there is someone near post to win it and flick it on, then it could have a big impact for us.

We all know that our midfield has really lacked Ben's leadership and experience so far but it will take a while to feed him back into the match day squad and build up his fitness. Seeing him for 20 odd minutes last night was a step in the right direction but people will be expecting him to start...

Surely we could do something with incentives rather than raise the wage cap? Lets assume the wage cap is £20k as has been suggested and the recruitment team identify a player that would they think would take us to the next level. Doug needs to get a bit creative and offer the player the £20k...

I heard at the Everton game that all wasn't well with KP and that the club weren't going to be offering a contract extension. The person who told me gave the impression that they were a bit in the know but wouldnt say more and i didn't put anything on here because for all I knew it was just...

You mean whinge and moan at the ref. It's one of the traits that I really don't like about Eccles. Yes he's a Cov lad and he clearly loves the club but until you are captain, vice captain etc wind your neck in and get on with the game. This isn't just Eccles by the way, it is a massive bug bear...
