Sorba Thomas now gone to Blackburn on loan. That's 3 of their better players from last season who won't be facing us - Thomas, O'Brien and Russell, who doesn't seem to play as much now.

Shows what short term memories people have. We were nailed on certainties to go down after the start / disruption we had this season, coupled with Cal O'Hare's absence. We drag ourselves out of it against all odds and, when we have an understandable dip, some seem to forget what adversity we...

It's a free country @slowpoke - he can sleep with who he likes ;)

Either brilliantly - and we go up via the play offs, or Quite well - enough to keep us out of trouble, but nothing spectacular (then turns into Baresi next season, after we've paid £1,5m for him)

That was my point -- Vik was so, so during his loan, but we obviously saw enough to think we could develop him. As you say, that's the ideal, as if McNally plays like Bobby Moore for the duration, we won't get a sniff.

Scored 5 in the last 2 home games ;)

Over the moon that Sorba Thomas looks like he's off on loan (to Blackburn?) as his dead ball delivery is/was (imo) one of their main threats. Although they've replaced him with Knockhaert, I think he's had an injury/barely match fit.

We also had this with Vik, too - for balance. Didn't work out so badly!

I like the fact that he seems to have an aerial presence, and is an attacking threat too.

What it does mean is that when, his tenure comes to an end, he will be easier to dislodge than SISU (unless they have some sort of first dibs on buy back - please God, no) so hopefully, should he be out of his depth, a 'better'. more affluent owner may be able to be found. Hopefully King Doug...

After we'd lost 4-0 at Rotherham back in L1, half (or more) of this forum were crucifying Fadz on here, and for quite a while, saying he was past it. 3 seasons later and we can't do without him. Football fans!

Good(e) point - hadn't thought about that link.

See that Blackpool have signed Charlie Goode (6' 5" centre half) from Brentford on loan. He's someone I would have thought could have done a job for us.

MR says he wants a permanent attacking midfielder, striker, centre back. If he doesn't get them in this window, does that make him naive? Not sure Boddy has said anything wrong there to be fair. If he were to say, we don't want to get promoted, he'd be castigated, yet if he said we did, you...

Not sure why it's an idiotic comment, if it's something we're aspiring to do? Think it's something we all agree on?

Problem is if you sell a Vik for (say) £15m, then signing Wayne Scroggins from MK Dons, who was previously worth £1.5m, suddenly becomes worth £4m plus silly wages, as the selling club and agent sees the Vik money and wants a slice of it. It's a weird world, the football market and even if you...

Avoid mirrors. I find it helps as the years pass by ;)

Only quoting MR....

MR was fairly clear that players/agents (and I'm guessing this may be referencing Paterson) have been asking for silly money as they think we're awash with cash. Whatever our financial position, I'd rather we spend it wisely, than spunk it all in desperation, when better use can be made of the...

Unless he is a poor trainer, it shouldn't be impossible to improve his stamina. The new Norwich gaffer said he was going to try and get their team to be the fittest in the division, Don't know about that, or whether it was their use of the ball. but they wore us out yesterday, which is why (imo)...
