  1. Yes Portsmouth need to be dragged back in to the fight sooner rather than later. Also think Barnsley are sneaking up on the rails which puts added emphasis on Saturday.
  2. Take the Cambridge match out of the run in and it’s a match you’d expect Bolton to win every day of the week. Could be a completely different picture for better or worse this time next week.
  3. To be fair I agree that Charlton will be tough. Got a good point against Bolton, Jones isn't a mug at this level and they do have a decent squad on paper. Plus if we manage to get a result on Saturday will we take our foot off the gas the following week against Charlton?
  4. What I would say, is it fair to keep him for another 2 years if his chances are going to be the same as the last 4 years? Surely at some point we let him go for the sake of his career. Unless of course he's happy being a bit part player here until he retires.
  5. Think there's some sense to your post. However, the argument against salary caps would be that then top players would swan off abroad. Something which the Premier League wouldn't be too happy with. It needs FIFA to come up with a blanket salary cap and some nerdy formula to apply it to the different countries/standard of league, revenue made etc. I wouldn't hold your breathe though.
  6. Think Sibs has had enough chances and unfortunately hasn't taken them. Maybe if he left he'd kick on and become the player we thought he could be, but sadly i think whilst ever he's with us we'll continue to see him waste away with the odd good goal thrown in. I think one of his main issues is when he's having a quiet game, he doesn't do enough of the dirty stuff to warrant him staying on the pitch. In hindsight a loan move away during Cocu/Rooney season would've maybe done him well. Think we've just kept hold of him and messed him around for too long for him to be an asset to us moving forward.
  7. Think at this stage there's not many easy matches apart from maybe Carlisle and Fleetwood at home. We've got Carlisle last day of the season but have unfortunately played Fleetwood twice. Bolton play 1 of their games in hand on Tuesday so we'll have a better idea after that as to how much of an advantage their games in hand will be for them. I think as long as they don't take 6 points from them we're right in it. Portsmouth are going from strength to strength but even they will drop points. Barnsley are the silent killers. Been 4-6 all season, have stolen a couple of wins recently and are now right in it. Personally i'd be fuming if they sneak through the back door and gazump us all for 2nd spot.
  8. I imagine Gayle being in and around the Stoke squad means he’ll be closer to fitness than Wickham. I do agree that Wickham would play the Collins role better but his injury record is also poor. Gayle would’ve played the lone striker role quite a bit in his career. Let’s hope he’s developed a way of holding off defenders that doesn’t rely on being a powerhouse.
  9. I apologise if you thought I as ITK, certainly not the impression I was trying to give. I imagine 90% of the forum aren’t in the know so I’d assume that stance when reading a post in the future. However it seems like my wants and that of the club have seemingly aligned so let’s see if they have a happy ending.
  10. I’ve openly admitted I’m not savvy to the inner workings of the club. However with us close to signing Gayle maybe my speculation isn’t as daft as it seems 🤔
  11. Can only imagine that maybe we’re offering a big bonus at the start of next season in a way to get round the financials. Might be complete poo by me but can’t see what the issue can be seeing as we got wonga for Bird.
  12. Predicts the results and calls himself a medium when he’s actually XXXXL.
  13. Don’t understand why people are saying Warne got it wrong. Yes I was moaning at half time. But unfortunately for Warne, Stevenage was always going to be tight. If Sibley would’ve started he’d have done nothing for 60 mins before being hauled off. Warne got it spot on today especially when you consider that our forward options are depleted. Happy to hear we’re in for Gayle, let’s hope the EFL aren’t bum holes and let us sign a 34 year old.
  14. Warne spot on today - deserve every credit. Adam’s and Bradley animals. Cash and Nelson too but that’s standard. Sibbo with the magic.
  15. Shows that we rely on having plenty of decent players for our systems as opposed to tactically out witting the opposition. Having a recognised forward may help as well.
  16. Game going as expected. Not really sure how we win this. Bring Sibs on for a defender but then we’re weaker at the back? Best hope is that we score from a corner, last kick of the match giving them no time to put the pressure on.
  17. Nice positive line up. Good to see we have plenty of attacking options on the bench as well in case we need them…
  18. Let’s not speculate on any signings ever then brainbox.
  19. But they aren’t strikers. They may well do a job for us, I’ll be happy if they do but it just all seems unnecessary and a bit amateur to even be in this position. But I’ve speculated enough I think about whether we’re doing the right thing or not so I’ll see how we get on today.
  20. Please see exhibit A: Shefki Kuqi record before and when signing for us on loan. His numbers look poor but he did a job for us for the 3 months he was here.
  21. I know as much as you unless you’re ITK so I’m not really sure what your point is. What’s the winning lottery numbers for tonight?
  22. It was reported that our bids especially for Gregory were generous and only Chansiri madness stopped it. That would suggest we were offering a generous percentage. Plus we’ve sold Bird so not exactly short of money relatively speaking.
  23. Not really how a forum works. If everyone had your attitude then any transfer story would be irrelevant.
