Got 4 goals from midfield for a team in absolute crisis? 1 goal per 7 matches for that s**** is nothing to be sniffed at. 
 
Also have to look at it that there’s a big chance we lose bird either now or in summer - will Hourihane still be here after summer? I’m not so sure. Same with regards to Smith. 
 
That’d leave us with Fornah and Thompson? Add Savage to them and a more senior player on a free in summer and you’ve got some decent options. You’ve got youth and legs. 
 
Id be very much for us making transfers that seem cheap but have potential for the players to grow with us. 
 
people always used to say they want us to be like Brentford well Brentford never signed players in their prime. They signed good players from underperforming teams based on their chairman’s model and developed them before selling them on for a fortune. 

2 ways to spin this: if we’re paying a fee for him his agent can’t be asking for silly signing on fees and wages which usually comes with free agents who are entering their prime years. 
 
secondly it depends what the club feel he will be worth both in resale value and in whether he provides the edge to take us up. 
 
say for example the club go to £400k but believe he’d be worth £1m this summer if he was on a 3 year contract (not out of the realms of reality considering we’ve bid £300k and he’s only got 6 months left) then that’s completely different to the days where we’d sign someone for more than they’d be worth on resale. 
 
we’d also face more competition in summer too…

He’s a signing where just by having him tied to a longer deal he should instantly be worth more than we pay if we can get it over the line. 
 
We have to accept our place that we are a stepping stone to bigger things at the moment and so resale value has to be considered. 
 
Id be happy to sign anyone who’ll retain their value (injuries permitting) as we won’t end up with any butterfield in for £4m out for a Mars bar type situations that ultimately emptied the coffers.

Ah, you've got me wanting one now. Think I'll be headed to the chippy after work.

My heads gonna fall off. Collins not working? He’s banged them in this year ffs. 

f****** woeful that. 
 
Football is football. Doesn’t matter that it’s the BSM trophy. Football is about momentum and being ruthless. Absolutely w*** that. 
 
Trip to Wembley gone. 6 days until Our next game too so hardly a ‘game we could have done without’ either. 
 

Play Fornah, Elder, Sibley, have a mix of U21s and players who could do with a rest on the bench (NML Foz) 
 
go for it. Winning a trophy is winning a trophy - it won’t feel crap watching them lift it at the national stadium when we take 30k down there.

Think I agree that I’d like to see a lot more of Fornah. Felt he’d done alright then played that pass that led to Cheltenhams goal and that was it not really seen since. 
 
I think he has that look about him where he is so laid back on the ball that some fans worry when in fact he’s in complete control of what’s happening.

Don’t understand the Fornah thing. He always looks useful and front foot when he’s on the pitch. Got good feet too. Not enough of our team have the best close control. Fornah has a good touch. 

Garbage. You can praise Bird without sniping at a young player with potential. 
 
Rubbish fan base.

It’s not the loss it’s the nature of their goals. They were such a good attacking side and yet we ballsed it up ourselves - how are we - the best defensive outfit in the league on current form conceding those goals? Piss poor and for once I’m not blaming Warne. Players have to be doing better in those situations. 
 
Stupid errors in the last few matches now. we can’t afford for them to become common place.

WTF! Really? He was off it today, but he's having a cracking season. If you'd be happy to get shot with any fee 'a bonus' in your opinion, you've clearly not got a scooby.
