I think midfield should be the priority.
Bird’s contract is running down and he is potentially on the way out and Smith and Hourihane are fading fast and can’t perform consistently at the level required, only really when the opposition’s tactics and the playing conditions are favourable.
Fornah, Thompson, Fapetu and Robinson are good prospects for the future, but we need a player to come in and hit the ground running.

Another McGoldrick. 
Lol.

Agreed. What he helped Mel do to the club was very sad. Can't wait for the day he leaves. I'm glad our fans are letting him know he's not welcome and not forgiven.

It was actually a big mistake by Warne to ask the players to elect the captain. No one knows what might influence the votes. Some players might vote for the guy who they think won't get on their back, some might vote because it's a mate who buys the beers. Very naive of Warne, to actually  assume that all the players would vote with the interests of the club/fans above their own personal interests. A good manager knows who is the best man in the squad for the captains role. 

Shouldn't be a surprise to anyone. Football is run by corporate gangsters after all, governing bodies and club owners included.

It's strange that this group of players are, by definition, professionals in their sphere of work yet some lack self motivation, the ability to follow instructions, are ill disciplined etc which then puts into question their professionalism in the first place 

Shocking news about Everton. Are Wycombe suing as well? I know they weren’t in that league at the time and so there is no tangible effect but that has never stopped them before has it. Couhig will no doubt be all over it! 

I do agree with Tuesday evening being a game too many for some and that's why it's such a shame that Warne didn't start with some fresh legs and minds against Crewe.
Someone like Robinson or Weston would have been really up for a game like this, and it would have shown. 
Their number 30, who everyone is raving about, has only started 6 games for them, and come on 4 times, but he was really up for it against a "big" club. He's not pulled up any trees in his other loan spells either, but we gave him the freedom of midfield to strutt his stuff.
It might have been a different game if Robinson had been hassling him every time he got on the ball and he would certainly have let him know he was there, not stood aside while he played through us.

I would agree with the 'square pegs in round holes' suggestion. Also to be considered, too many of the first team squad just can't perform consistently. They probably raised their game significantly for the Barnsley game, but the Tuesday cup battle was too much, either mentally or physically (perhaps both).

Do you think his missus got upset when the wedding photo in the bedside frame got replaced with one of Mel doing the bounce.?

Everyone banging on about a possible lack of transfer budget as an excuse for our performances - We just deservedly lost to a club whose entire squad value is around £4m, and who haven't actually spent a fee on a player for almost 10 years. 

please don't give him any more to spend

Not sure about the MM rumour but I hope there is nothing in it. Like most genuine fans it's hoped that the guy is completely gone and forgotten. As for Ashley, buying a business on the upward trajectory for a large sum is not really his MO. Ashley goes in as the clock strikes midnight, just as the axe is about to fall, and the price is rock bottom. That's what he was perhaps waiting for with DCFC, but Mr Clowes stepped in. That's where we are for now, and the foreseeable.
