    FWIW I think Didzy would be mad to go elsewhere based on on-pitch aspects. He's clearly loved by fans and management alike, playing in a system that suits him as demonstrated by his most prolific season in his long career. Also, we're obviously looking for promotion and all things being equal, we should be a force to be reckoned with next season whereas Notts County are likely to be looking to stabilise after promotion. Why would you take the risk of playing a different system for a club in a very different position...?

    Obviously we have no idea what's going on off the pitch. Loyalty, logistics, money, etc - all unknowns really. 

    Either way, he seems a really decent fella and I wish him the best in whatever he choses to do. 

    i would rather play for the rams than man utd

    He has a decent goal scoring record, is in his prime and only has a year left on his contract. I think he is be worth using making Posh a offer now he is transfer listed. 

    We could, but my guess woulld be we would need to spend everything we have for him and it still probably will not be enough to meet the over inflated prices from Posh. We could buy a number of good signings with the money we would spend on him.

    Can I start a rumour about Jonson Clarke-Harris? 26 goals in 36 games this season and he's available for transfer. Is he any good?

    Peterborough always want lots of dosh, more than we will be able to afford. Unless free its a no from me

    Peterborough’s tactics in the second half were diabolical and Ferguson completely misjudged his team and Wednesday’s abilities. Quite possibly the worst half of football played in the league all season by any team.

    You can only beat what is in front of you and they did. Still have a feeling that Barnsley will do them at Wembley.

    If the transfer window doesn't open until 14 June I guess we won't really know until then. I reckon big money transfers are leaked pretty extensively, but the kind of market we are in is of less interest to the media/agents circus

    that will be us being quiet then

  6. I understand why he doesn't want to plays in L1. I think our position should be that he plays in L1 for us next season or someone puts some cash on the table, 2-3m would do (we have to be realistic)

    I doubt very much that is the case, given the continuing restrictions we will be under. What a nonsense comment.

    Stupid comment. Of course, he will be under more pressure next season, having brought in his own players. Even with a business plan, we will have a bigger budget than half of L1

    I’m not too down. It’s a pity but in reality we were short of pace, power and finishing up front, short on numbers in general and short in wide defensive positions. Small squad with a few quality players. Nearly made it and they all worked their socks off. I just hope we can keep Cashin, Knight and Wildsmith. Pretty sure Didsy will stay for an Indian summer because of the locality and he’s clearly enjoyed himself. To those not liking the football, truth is there isn’t a Warneball yet. There were games where we played long and ugly - and looked lousy at it. There were also games where we did tippy tappy and looked more than respectable. We have in all those games looked hungry which you need if you want to succeed. 

    Ack .. you know what, I am looking forward to pre season, transfer chatter and planning for the next phase of our recovery. 
     

    If we look at the hand of cards we had 12 months ago I’d say we played them as well as could be expected. I am not quite as edgy about players being nicked for rock bottom prices because the market and the game has changed since Covid. Unless a prem or parachute club wants someone I don’t think there is as much money around as folk think. 
     

    I guess all will be revealed in the fullness of time. COYR

    For some reason, I am with you on this and don't feel as down as I should. I get the feeling that we could have been exposed in the Championship, although I would have taken a promotion in a heartbeat.

    Warne's neck is on the line this summer, as he is expected to bring in the right sort of players for not only a promotion bid but an automatic promotion bid. 

    Nearly time to switch to the transfer part of this forum. I look for to it, as for players and getting scammed. That would be a certain Pole playing for that second Birmingham team, we will get peanuts for him in comparison to what we have paid. 

    I think we have about nine departures this year. Warne had his phone on charge, he will not get any peace this summer.

    Thought the first 20 minutes was probably the best we've played this season. We looked like we had a midfield, we were passing comfortably and creating chances. Could have easily been 3 or 4 up and it wouldn't have flattered.

    Then, in a tradition as old as the club itself, we conceded the first time they went forward. Thought their right winger had a field day behind Roberts and pulling Cashin out wide. We struggled to really adapt to that out ball most of the game.

    Still, hard to be overly critical because I think we did deserve to win that game. Think some of the subs worked, some of them didn't and lost some momentum - bound to happen with sheer number of subs these days. Portsmouth time wasting was very small time... taking 3k fans across the country for a game which means literally nothing and then proceed to not play football for a large portion of it. Is it me, or is League One worse for this than the Championship ever was? It's so out of hand. 6 minutes were added but it could've been 16.

    There's some debate going on in here about Warne, his style, his potential signing etc. All of it is completely moot until it happens. He's worked with what he's had, he's shown some ability to change the way we play despite that from game to game, and this squad he's working with is anything but well rounded. He's worked with a majority ageing, and definitely snails-paced team which has struggled to relieve pressure with the complete lack of an outball. Let him do what he needs to do and see where we go, all this thumbing our noses at style of football is silly. Want to be known as a nice footballing team down here? Fine, be Oxford or MK Dons, and look where they are. Let's get out of this pit first.

    good post
