Yeah you're right there, that's the Brentford model that we wanted to follow. Buy players, develop them, sell for a decent profit and reinvest the cash. Keep building, improving the income and adding to the value of the squad. For players the Championship is a good stepping stone / route into...

Cat A+ is definitely steep, the only saviour is it's probably only going to be a couple of games (Birmingham, Leicester, maybe last game of the season). I agree, the rest looks fairly standard Championship pricing. Until the TV money is filtered down better, ticket pricing in general in the...

Yeah definitely at least double. They're not the same position anyway. Langstaff is a centre mid, Rudoni is a number 10. Even if they or another team went for Rudoni, it's going to take at least £25m, especially with Rudoni having 3 years left on his contract. We're in a strong position in that...

I agree, in my opinion the only way we are getting another goalie in is if we sell one first. It's very rare for a team at our sort of level to carry 4 senior goalies, even 3 is a push. Ideally we'd want to offload Collins but Collins might be thinking he may have a chance of starting games...

Sheff Utd, so there is 1 less parachute side in the league next season (y)

That's sport for you and that's why the Championship is such a good league, teams towards the bottom are more than capable of beating playoff teams at home. Look at Monday, 5 out of the bottom 7 won, with the other 2 drawing against each other. Another tough game coming up on Saturday...

Absolutely, fingers crossed 🤞 hopefully a better start than the past 3 seasons!

Yes there might have been dropped points like at Hull, but on the flip side we've had 6 90+minute winners, some of those games we didn't deserve to win. Swings and roundabouts.

A win would be huge but it's a must not lose

Zero chance? We'll only be a point behind them with a win. They've got a few difficult games in there too. Plenty more twists and turns to come yet, teams fighting in different situations. Look at Sheff Utd, lost back to back games against Oxford and Millwall

It's a tough situation as it's hard to tempt a club to loan us a player who's just going to be cover for Milan and play the odd few games. They want their players to go out and play regularly.

Spot on, Hull gambled massively last January (getting Carvalho, Giles, Zaaroury all on loan plus permanent transfers) on getting promoted and it backfired with them missing out on the playoffs. Now they're in a relegation battle this season. Loans can be good but if you can't guarantee them...

Oxford sold out about 10 minutes into the 1600 points slot

Yeah I agree, i'd imagine we wont find anything out till at least Friday's press conference. Fingers crossed it's good news 🤞

I listened to a Harry Redknapp interview on The Rest is Football podcast. He actually warned Lampard against the Coventry job saying it will be a very tough job to follow Mark Robins. Fair play to Lampard for having the hunger to take the job on and doing very well so far (y)

Yeah such a tough window January is. Patterson will probably be just a stop gap, fill a hole and do a job till the summer where we can do more of a rebuild.

I'd imagine probably Monday. The 3rd round finished Tuesday night. The terrestrial channels will pick their's first, then international TV and then jiggling the games about based on restrictions (e.g. Birmingham and Villa not at home on the same day, etc). It is frustrating that it takes a week...

I agree with Burge, we've stuck with him after constant mistakes in previous seasons. But Willis stuck with us in League 1 and also in League 2. He's linked to clubs in every transfer window but has stayed with us.

Hopefully Kelly gets dropped. Can't have him and Doyle together in centre midfield. Too defensive and no creativity from there whatsoever. It's no coincidence that our good form was when Kelly was out injured. Bayliss back in the middle to offer a bit of drive and creativity.
