Will Hughes is on a free in the summer just saying 

Yep wages and yep will would have go up 

Just putting out there 

Tidy player though he undoubtedly is, he wouldn’t make the kind of impact his fee would command.

He’s neither a goal scorer nor an enforcer. He holds his position well and is a good passer but we need to spread the money across the squad.

Better to get a younger player base and try to mould them into a team for the future.

Agree.  He is here on a two year deal.  At the end of the two year, he and DCFC have no obligation to one another. 

I hope he carries on until the end of the season, and decisions from both parties will clearly be made.  It will hardly be on a level with Brian Clough leaving.  More, that's a shame...anyway, who are we replacing him with?...

… and if he has a promotion on his CV it’s good for both parties.

I imagine it could sometimes take 20 minutes to get down from the top of the South Stand if waiting until after the final whistle.

I always stay to the final whistle and to clap the players but edging towards the exit because the East Stand isn’t easy to escape from 😊

I have a train to catch and if there’s lots of extra time this can get a bit tricky. Fine if I’m in good shape because I can jog but I could well imagine many need more time.

Can someone please explain this to me. "Fans" leave their seats before the final whistle to go and stand in the concourse to watch the final minutes on the TV? I fully understand people who actually leave the ground to avoid the rush, catch trains etc, but to just watch on a tiny TV screen when a few feet away you can watch live? Now that's just plain weird.

I guess they’re just getting a head start on the rest of the crowd without missing the action. 
Not for me, but I guess it works for them.

                              Wildsmith

                  Nelson   Forsyth   Cashin

Wilson           Smith      Adams            Sibley 

Mendez-Laing        Waghorn          Blackett-Taylor 

I think with three central defenders and Smith and Adams in front of them, we should be able to risk three up front and let CBT show what he’s capable of.

They’re useful to keep in the cupboard for those times when you need something quick to eat but they don’t belong in anything described as a meal other, Eddie, than in a casserole.

Good beer choice by the way.

I think our issue is that 3 at the back and wing backs works fine against lesser teams but the better teams force the wide players back so they become ineffective.

Ward in particular could rampage forward against Bristol Rovers but Bolton didn’t allow that.

Whilst it’s great to keep a settled side, you sometimes have to play the best system for the opposition.

We do just about have the personnel to do that. Our challenge will be where the goals come from. We have to hope that NML re-finds his form and that Collins’ return isn’t too far away.

Can’t see Waghorn producing much more than bruises. 

But you never know!

Northampton expecting a sellout.

Their highest gate this season against Charlton 7,710.

Record attendance at this ground 7,798 against Man United in the league cup.

88 plastic fans then 😊

Loving the re-runs of Toast of London.

Such wonderfully off-the-wall humour.

Also Curb Your Enthusiasm continues to challenge social mores. 

Last night’s example of the cringey chain message posts on social media and the difficulty in extricating yourself from such chains was a classic.

Larry D continues to face taboos head on. Long may he continue.

If it is a hamstring injury,why was he on the pitch joining in after match celebrations,sure it was him, though was wearing a jacket with a hood on

He’s still got to walk. I don’t think he would have done any additional damage and indeed keeping it moving probably helps.  

 Let’s hope it doesn’t keep him out for too long.

It was a fantastic trip, expertly organised by Justin!

Would definitely recommend it for any fans living in exile in the South West!

Yep. All ran smoothly from start to finish. Justin even organised a win for us 😊

I was going to ask how did we play and did we deserve it. But, who give a f***. This league is renowned for being a tough one to get out of. We can say what we want about Warne. Including me I wanted him gone. No doubt about it I really really wanted him gone. But the team morale and character is immense. You can’t question the effort. It is a massive win and a brilliant day. Drink it in 🍻 

We played like the away team. PW and his mind games. We’re good away, so play like we’re away!

Soaked up all they had and sneaked a goal. Forsyth immense, Nelson and Cashin excellent, Ebou an inspiration.

Wildsmith made two astonishing saves.

Forwards were disappointing but we did enough.

My sphincter is still twitching like a rabbit’s nose but golly gosh that was a gritty performance.

Bravo rams, both players and staff

Bolton have just released today’s set list:

Derby’s a s*******

You’ve only come to see the Bolton

Football in a library

Bolton Are massive

Derby’s a s******* (reprise)

It’ll be great to hear some new and original material from the away end this afternoon.

 

Pretty much the same as ours then. And indeed the majority of away supporters.

Maybe AI will lead to some more interesting chants 😊

You’ll have to watch it in Spoons with ‘Arry Redknapp’

He’s buying as he had some luck on the gee gees.

Don’t forget he’s signed a new contract mate, be more like £60 million to Brighton and we’ll take that Dunk fella in return…..😉 

I do miss his posts on here, hope he’s watching on from somewhere 

Me too but I hear he’s the Technical Adviser for Talk Sport now.

No business plan next season. Spend.  Spend. Spend!

At least we’ll have £40 million to spend from the sale of Cashin.

Gayle every day of the week over Collins!

Barkhuisen has been better in the past few weeks but NML, Gayle and Collins would be exciting. Gayle and Collins could make room for each other.

Free-ee Curtis ram Nelson!

To be honest, I don't really suffer with flatulence, mate. Maybe after a curry and a heavy night on the ale. I'm also a flat out commie too apparently and generally speaking, I find that blowing out of one's arse is a condition suffered more extensively by Tory voters 👀

Fisrt the bad news. I've broken two bones in my foot. Suffice to say I shan't be getting my dancing shoes on anytime soon! 😂 On the flipside though, I've got both movies ready to watch back to back tonight and the GF is doing pork tenderloin with mustard mash and spring greens which is one of my absolute favourite, classic British dishes which I'll be washing down with a bottle of robust red. 

Swings and roundabouts! 

Sorry to hear of your misfortune.

After the wine and the spring greens may I suggest Blazing Saddles?
