I can’t see it being any of them tbh. One of them is dead to start with and the others are too old.

For me a captain is someone that other players look up to, someone that in adversity can drive others on either by their brilliance of play or their never beaten positive attitude. Roy Keane, Tony Adams, John Terry and the one and only Dave Mackay all spring to mind as excellent leaders of their teams, love em or hate em they were all winners with plenty of trophies to show.

He always comes over as bright decent family man who pedigree shines out when PW mentions his performances. Doubt there is any truth or evidence for these claims. 

Now I do think we need to improve on Korey for this season, but an attitude problem?! What a load of s****. 

Worst superhero ever.

Think he should nail his colours to the mast this year and select his captain. I’d strongly suspect Bradley will get it and to be honest I think he’d thrive off it!

Dropped out of the team….following the knee injury he suffered on the pitch against Bristol Rovers on 25/11/2023 and subsequent recovery time of several weeks? Having been involved in all 17 league one matchday squads up to that point including playing 90 mins in 10 of those games? The same Korey Smith who seems to be a well liked and respected member of the squad and has from the outside seemingly always conducted himself as a top pro and played out of position for the cause? 🤔 

Wish him luck in whatever he does, as long as it’s not here as a player. Would happily take him as a coach or whatever as he does seem like a good influence. It’s just clear he hasn’t got anything left in his legs. 

A lot of Barnsley fans in the last hour seem to think Hourihane could be on his way there. No idea where the link has came from, maybe their forum ? Anyways I’d be very happy if we moved him and his large wages on.

Also Warne after 10-12 new players mostly frees and loans . But has apparently put a few bids in for contracted players one I hear is the highest we’ve spent since Jozwiak so roughly around £1m 

So folks I’ve heard from my contact the following:
gone 
Wildsmith 
Waghorn
JJ
gayle 
hourihane 
smith 
forsyth - to be offered some type of coaching 
 
 
new contract offered 
Thompson 
collins 
sibley 
barks 
 
Contract offered to 3-4  out of contract players including these I’ve had confirmed 

Burrows 
Herbie Kane 
Tyrese Campbell 
 

Wildsmith offered 2nd contract turned down.
Warne now in for Johansson 

You'd get 9 assists playing in a team which scores so many from corners when you take every single one of them. Stats are nothing without context.
Legs have gone, he was a liability. We improved immensely when Warne finally realised it.

Niche Lorraine?

Dunno if Android have an equivalent.

Same as last week, within the next 24-48 hours 

Don't know how I forgot about him, but yes, if he's on the pitch he's more than capable.

It was more than likely let me see what division we're in before I commit to anything rather than turning it down, fairly confident he'll sign now.

I think Loach plays quite an important, yet under appreciated role at the club. He's at the stage of his career where he's thinking about life after retirement and is working his way through the coaching badges. This combined with his experience must be really helpful to the young keepers at the club.
