Barnsley have a model where they buy young talent to develop and sell on down the line. They do what we have started to do but a bit better (ultimately because they have a bigger budget). They don't rely heavily on loans like we do - James was their only loan in first half of the season and they...

I'd say Ostigard, James & Sheaf are improvements, as is Walker when fit.

Think it's a fair question though, but maybe along the lines of how do we expect to work towards a more competitive budget in the long term that allows us to compete higher up the table?

No-one because it's not true. Don't doubt they read opinion though, would be more surprised if they didn't.

Yep. Suspect that's why Shipley came on there against Cardiff. Slight concern but it might actually suit him.

Just because we've brought a second LWB into the club doesn't necessarily mean he doesn't see a future for Newton, who isn't long back from injury. It's a position we're light at within the club and we now have 2 development prospects. Both could make it or neither could make it.

There's a difference between an injury not stopping you playing and one that doesn't impact your performance. Pretty much any injury will impact your performance in some way, whether it's a restriction in the way you move or whether it affects you mentally.

Think I must've missed that one.

I don't think anyone thinks they are great strategists. The drive to run at break even is out of necessity so that we don't continue haemorrhaging money (and they have still, in the main, had to be covering losses). In terms of footballing (on field) strategy, I have to disagree. That has...

There's a definite place for a fans forum. Not sure attending to ask questions on day to day issues is giving credence. I mean, we all moaned that the Trust never communicated with the club - sounds like you now think what the Trust were doing was the best approach?

The same as what?

Can you ask if we even practice shooting in training? If so, does anyone ever score?

It's not the league position. It's form, endeavour and performance. All very pretty passing the ball around but it's all for nought. It feels like we're not trying to win games.

Hyam at the moment.

With the way we're playing, yes, a goalscorer probably would. They've taken a gamble that could cost us at least 6 - 7 million if they get it wrong.

Love a Thornbridge beer, though Jaipur not one of my favourites.

Want to change my answer to No.

Next 3 games are on Sky so I don't have to pay to feel depressed.

How are Cardiff 7th? They're fucking awful. Sure they were around us a couple of weeks ago.

Yeah, no particularly big calls but didn't have a lot of control of the game.
