A few of us called it that Bamford would've been a perfect signing for us. Hes much better at Simss' job than Simms is. Most on here laughed and called us clueless.No he wasn't it's just the poster wants him to start every game.
I think Wrights been shite too but it's clear he is better than Simms
If lampard truly wanted bamford it is weird doug said no. Maybe king thought he was gonna be Jamie Patterson level impact rather than what he's doing at sheff utd?

Both Wilder and Bamford said Lampard wanted him and Doug said no.I didn't have an opinion on it as don't even know if lampard wanted him
But if he did then Doug must be regretting it you would assume.
Judging from his interview at blunts, Frank wanted him. He was offered a deal then Doug changed his mind and pulled the plug.I didn't have an opinion on it as don't even know if lampard wanted him

I find the whole thing incredibly sad.
It's really beginning to crumble you feel and we desperately need to get one or two players over the line on Monday.
Once again, once the opposition got in front we looked toothless and never looked like equalising.
For the first time, I do now think we will probably now throw it all away.
Not just Boro and Ipswich now is it, it's Hull too
We need some fresh blood. Was hoping Markelo was going to be ready and thrown into the fray, but seemingly he is a way off yet
We can't keep losing away. The more we don't pick up points away, the more pressure it puts on our home form.
Bottom line is, we now don't look like the same team that was flourishing earlier in the season. We now look just like an okay team and one that can be beaten if you get at us.
Honestly thought we were going to go on and win once we went 1 up, but as soon as they scored, the tables turned and we looked distinctly average again.
It's all very sad.
Not sure you can sack FL though. Who would you bring in anyway?
How much longer does Frank have to turn this round? Its been the same script for WEEKS now. At no point has he tried to change things. Just sticking with the same "favourite" and out of form players, same formation, same tactics. He either needs to have a serious rethink and sort out his stubborn, failing tactics... or Doug has to make yet another HUGE call and get somebody else in. If we leave it too much longer, its too late. Either Frank needs to change his gameplan ASAP, or he needs replacing imo.

I will be done with football for a fair bit of time. The hope is what keeps you going every season, but this would prove to me beyond all doubt, it is just never going to happen and we will continue to watch everyone else have their moment.Very well put Otis
If we do throw this away it will feel worse then Luton, Sunderland, Manchester United, all of them
A quarter of a century weve waited for this opportunity. To have it in the palm of our hands and for it to be snatched away, will be the cruelest blow for all of us
Itll set us back so far. ST sales and attendance figures next season will drop for sure. We'll lose the bulk of the squad. Itll be right back to square one when we sold Gus and Vik and were right at the beginning of the rebuild phase. It quite literally will be a 5 year backwards step.Very well put Otis

That was based on goals scored. Simms 10 in 13 starts. Wright, 2 in about 17. I also posted we should sign Bamford, which was laughed at, by most on here.No he wasn't it's just the poster wants him to start every game.

2023 was a late charge to the playoffs leading to a game that could have gone either way. It hurt a lot but the whole thing just felt like a bonus because it had come from nowhere and Luton had finished third.I'm still hopeful for this season (just about), but it does feel like a sliding doors moment and it's going to be our best opportunity for a long time.
I did think that after the Luton Play Off final loss though to be fair...

This is a record breaking bottle job prolonged over the whole season and then further embarrassment in the playoffs probably against fucking Wrexham.
Most of the squad would be sold and pretty much a new one assembled in its place. As for how much we'd raise, I'm really not sure. A lot of these players would have their valuations tarnished by their association with being the biggest bottlers in Championship history.I agree this would be worse. I also worry about what would happen to the squad and if we'd be in for another rebuild in the summer.
Wouldn't be surprised if Frank didn't stick around if we fail promotion (walk rather than be sacked).
Still I think we'll do it, but making it really difficult
This is my concern. We've seen season ticket sales rise year on year for a while. If we blow this what will the impact be, especially if the 'star' players start leaving.Itll set us back so far.

I'm a long term season ticket holder, my wife has had one for 5 years now too. If this season is bottled we are not renewing.This is my concern. We've seen season ticket sales rise year on year for a while. If we blow this what will the impact be, especially if the 'star' players start leaving.
We'd be in a position where we wouldn't be worrying about PL teams picking off our best players, we'd be looking at teams who we potentially finished above who will offer our players far more money than we will.
Rushworth will go back and we don't know the status of Dovin who seems to have had a setback. Think I'm right in saying Tats, MVE, Wright and Simms will all be in their final year, then the majority of the rest only have two years left.
We'd be looking at a major rebuild and I don't see anything like the Vik & Gus money being available to do it.
Let's hope we turn things around quickly and our biggest concern is offloading players as they aren't good enough for the Premier League.
