Great post …. There’s going to be a reasonable crowd for the first time in a long while. We need to make the RIGHT type of noise .. forget the protests, forget the in fighting. We are all in this, every cheer counts.
We talk casually about “academy lads” .. Some of them have been playing 1st team football for a year now - in a echoing mausoleum - Meanwhile they have got stronger, growing, learning, they know what a fight is. Now; the first for many of them … they are going to have 20,000 fans on their side. Lets show them what we sound like and what it feels to have a stadium urging them Forward …. Let’s lift them to the ceiling, Let’s do this ! ????????????

That's thing isn't it. Morrison is a talented player but is historically unreliable and we not only have Sibley but also Watson who's looked promising in that position.

Prove them wrong. Us against the world, let’s get behind the lads today.

That's the spirit. 
Good man! 
 

I can see us being mid table if we get the roll of the dice but it all rather depends on points deduction and getting ownership stability 
Anyway as long as we make an effort, bust a gut and score some goals I’ll be happy with anything except relegation 

Backing him for a big season. Just needs a run of games and not being taken off after an hour every game he starts, showed what he can do for Poland if he hugs the touchline. 
 
Would also help to get some bodies in the box, as whenever he did get in good positions last season he had CKR to aim at with 4 players round him. Come on Joz! 

It's more Yuzh-vee-ak. Maybe we stick to Kam and Kamil. 

If:
1. We beat the Trees twice
2. See Cashin, Williams, Sibley, Bird and others progress and become better footballers
3. Beat Boro and make Gibson cry and mess up his perm
4. Play some good football
5. Score some good goals
6. Win a few matches
7. See some dignity and pride restored
8. Dont get relegated
Then for me it will have been a good season. That'll do me. 

You don't win anything with kids Jono, you know that for a fact ?

FIFY ?? #COYR

Are you related to Alan Hansen by any chance ? 

And its probably the real wage level that The Championship can sustain given the income available to clubs. That is a MD's salary in medium sized, reasonably profitable company.

The most important player we could have signed is Curtis Davies. If that's done, any others are just a bonus. Would rather play Sibley and Watson than Morrison and Carroll.

Agreed. Jagielka is the one out of the trialists that I thought we really should try and pick up off the back of his games in the preseason. He looked sharp and still had some legs to him. Think he will be a decent pick up for a lot of clubs at this level for a season.

And more than the Prime Minister

I’ll sign for 234k a year. Wages at the top of the game have distorted our opinion about what is a fair wage. I understand it’s market forces, short career etc, but FFS it’s decent money for kicking a football about 1-2 twice a week.

If we're wage limited by the EFL, then we've signed the 3 players who are willing to play for that wage.
We can want Jagielka all we want, but he wants more than we can pay

Don't suppose it has occurred to you that Stearman might be the backup CB rather than a definite starter?

People need to realise this isnt a choie of Stearman over Jagielka, a 3rd keeper over a striker etc - it will be we have signed the only free agents willing to accept 4.5k or lower.
Hopefully we have paid HMRC so it's a case of waiting for the EFL to remove that embargo, once they do we can sign all the other triallists on wages up to 11.5k. So it is now down to whether we have paid & just waiting for HMRC to process/confirm so the EFL remove the embargo, if that is the case the triallists may be happy to wait a little longer. If we haven't paid then I don't see them hanging around for much longer.

That's the spirit.... 

I think you’ll find he’s poo anyway.  
 
Unless he signs of course and then it’s ‘top lad good to have him aboard - you rams’

God, we’re 9th. What is the matter with some people? Let him go.
