I think that point lacks credibility on a few levels and shows how stats only tell half a story. 1. COH and Hammer both played more mins. 2. Matty James who was brought in half way through the season was not far off Sheaf come the end of the season. 3. Kelly had a poor season through injury...

Denialism? I do not follow. I am simply saying if the club are compelled to sign a player who has potential but struggled to make an impact this season. We could loan him to help accelerate his development. My comment is based on the assumption we want to push on next season and in my view...

I am not close to the details. Is your understanding that there was no break clause, relegation aside? Even if we are compelled to sign BS there would be nothing stopping us loaning him to a top end L1 club as long as they covered his wages?

Just a hunch but I would imagine a game of poker is currently being played behind the scenes. Walsh like COH enjoyed his time here winning the league. COH was on a free and we took him, Walsh wasn't. I am confident he was spoken to in detail about future opportunities. I think Osti and James...

Not saying i want it to happen but does anyone think Sheaf has the potential to transition like Eric Dier has at Tottenham from DCM to a place in the back three?

Sheaf might not be coming back. Shippley I suspect will move on as will Allen. If that happens we have enough room for Walsh, my concern would be both he and Kelly have concerning sickness records. On this basis I suspect we will keep Shippers as he can play LWB in an extreme emergency.

I was not quite as surprised by the news as some given his acute lack of game time and impact on the overall season. Clearly has scope to improve and I can only assume Robins feels he can use the budget in better ways? Perhaps on James no doubt high wages or maybe to bring in a top quility...

If anyone on here has the skillset and thinks they could add value to the club by being in the role please do apply. There is a lot to be said for making your passion your job. This is a growing area in the sport if you have an eye for detail and know what your looking for. Remeber a salary is a...

Perhaps a poll would confirm your suspicions but I suspect you would be wrong.

Takes me down memory lane looking at some of those retro shirts.

Its a massive summer and I am hoping we can capitalise on the fact money is, relatively speaking, not flowing in the game atm and that James might like a return full time to the Midlands area.

Players were unsure about at the level play a couple in each half and utilise the 5 subs rule. These games are not vital but could still learn from them.

Our results have been far better with him in the team than without. On that basis it would be gamble to not renew him for another year.

Impressive list and if we can get those I would be very happy. Is Panzo left footed ie left centre back. Edit - just looked in more detail and if we could secure those players we might be an outside chance of the playoffs! Any guess on the total outlay that might represent?

Thanks for sharing, who was slagging it off? It's always helpful if names are dropped. It gives contributors the right of reply.

Agree, in fact these changes have been touted for perhaps longer than the heavy American influence at the top of the PL.

It's Primarily the American owners who don't understand the concept or value of relegation and promotion. They see their football clubs as franchises like the others in their sporting portfolios. I honestly throught that American soccer would adopt the European model and introduce relegation...

Agree look at the run we went on after he scored two in the Wycombe win. We just seem to be better with him in the team.

Think we need 5 points to be sure. Not sure if i will be supporting Blues Sunday to cut Rotherham adrift?

Not going to disagree. I rated him a 5/10 more for his impact than overall potential. Relegate and he would be one of the first names on the team sheet next season. Stay up and hehas a battle to prove he should be in the team. Wenger was a decent judge of a player and had high hopes for him. Too...
