Still far too many pirates on this ship that want to jump onboard the merry ship and stab whoever they want in the back to grab the treasure and bring some unlawful big name like previous pirates “Stevie Mac the Knife” who was up to various skullduggery with loose woman and lost his bottle of watered down rum in the process.
 
These pirates are now all over wickedpiratepedia and hanging around various ports quoting all sorts of pirate names in their pointless fight for a mutiny to try and turn the good ship into a pirate nightmare on the seas.
At one stage if felt like I was sailing this ship alone until good people came aboard to enjoy seven seas swimming so well. 
Let’s stay on the good ship and keep the pirates away.

I was really hoping he'd have a decent season then sign for us on a free in the summer. If we sign him now it could only really be with a financial arrangement that is heavily linked to appearances/goals. 

Really? Out of contract and 132 international caps between those three and 50 goals. I'd consider each of those to be credible targets now we are back in the Championship and worth a text.

In what world would Smith accept a pay as you play? Or would Alfie May come cheaply?
 
Some in this thread are on a different planet, I swear.

No one is perfect

Pray for Thompson's liver.

Hope this works - it’s one of mine from Saturday.

Who would you like to wave goodbye to as two teams fight for the right to play Premier Football next year,Leeds or Ipswich ?

Sibley and Barkhuizen have proven attributes at this level. If Forsyth was solely a left back I'd say no, but as a back up centre back I'd be tempted to give him one more year.  I have a lot of respect for the likes of Collins and Smith, but if they're still at the club in August I hope it's as fourth choice options. They probably deserve to be playing regularly at a league 1 club really. 

I knew you wouldn’t leave a Roulstone unturned.

I accidentally got drunk again.

Oooo I don't know about that, Birmingham City is going down well 😁

Here are the key reasons why relying heavily on free agents and loans poses risks for a League One club aspiring to play in the Championship:
1. Lack of stability and continuity: Loan players are only temporary additions and may not develop the same commitment and understanding with teammates as permanent signings. 
2. Unsustainable finances: The Championship has nearly £1.4bn worth of debt falling due within 12 months, with debt levels that are unsustainable. Relying on loans and free agents is a short-term solution that can lead to financial troubles.
3. Weaker squad quality: Loan players are often young prospects or fringe players from bigger clubs, while free agents may be available for a reason. Assembling a competitive Championship squad this way is challenging. Free agents are often released by their previous clubs due to injury concerns, disciplinary issues, or a lack of quality. Loan players may not have the experience or ability to make an immediate impact in the Championship.
4. Injury and suspension risk: With a smaller squad, any injuries or suspensions can leave the team short-handed, especially if loan players are recalled early.
5. Difficulty complying with EFL regulations: The EFL has rules around squad sizes and composition that may be difficult to meet with a loan and free agent heavy approach.
6. Relegation risk: Without a strong core of permanent signings, the promoted club is more likely to struggle and get relegated back to League One.
7. Compliance issues: EFL rules around squad composition and size may be harder to meet for a promoted club using many loans and free agents. Penalties could follow.
8. Difficulty integrating new players: With many temporary signings, the team will have less time to develop chemistry and understanding on the pitch. Continuity is key for a newly promoted side.
In summary, while loans and free agents can supplement a squad, a newly promoted Championship club needs a solid foundation of permanent signings to have the best chance of survival and establishing itself in the division. Relying too heavily on temporary solutions is a high-risk strategy.

Bradley never gets his props does he, clean sheet and an assist yesterday. Absolute menace from any set piece.

I've just watched the highlights on YouTube. They looked identical to the previous 8 times I watched them. Marvellous!

Thanks. That's my new WhatsApp image. I hope that's ok?
