I wanted to discuss this topic because I’m really not sure about us after last night. Has the age , training and inability to sign younger players caught us up or do you think we have players who don’t have the right mentality when the pressure mounts?

Ducking disappointing, I do believe there’s a bottle or mindset issue with this squad ( like so many over the years even our Steve Mac couldn’t escape it , 

extremely poor tonight but I’m gonna pull this why don’t we play through the middle stuff ,,,,,, apart from the odd game we cannot play a simple pass and that’s players not anyone in the dug out ,

Also we seem to be between two stalls at the moment , playing out from the back or getting it forward quick ,, we are back to this thing where we set up with our keeper having two defenders either side of him on the six yard line and pass to them and playing suicide passes to cashin under massive pressure to not lose the ball let alone do anything with it ,,, no wonder he s starting to look like a rabbit in the headlights through his whole game 🤷🏻‍♂️,

tjj was just so so so predictable, few games to earn the extra 6 months couple of games and then out for the season may not be his fault but that matters not ,,, why do we keep repeating this stupid costly mistake with players , it’s beyond me,

on to Saturday, will be there but a bit deflated , been derby d again 

I’ve often wondered that. 
derby appear to be the club version of the national team.  I honestly don’t know what managers are telling the players when under a bit of pressure but it appears either putting so much pressure on them or either the opposite not enough 

I’d do the following:

•offer Bird to the highest bidder 
• pull out of the smith talks 

• put the money towards the midfield

Ward and Bradley 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣

The rot begins 

prediction 2 points from the next 10 games 

I think I might get my dad to return the Cheltenham ticket . I’d rather teach my ESOL classes.

I still stand by my October prediction 

3-8th position by May 

Warne gone.

despite the brilliant winning run the performances are dog s*** 

I’d be tempted to sacrifice bird if it meant getting more quality in other areas

I think a midfielder who can score goals and be creative and be very influential is the signing that would take us to another level

This is where I'd be spending our money , I really don't like how teams seem to go straight through a non existent centre midfield at times

but playing 3 rather than 2 in there would help a CM who could chip in with 8-10 goals a season would be brilliant 

Hourihane has that potential I’d push him as a 10

From my source it’s estimated across both transfer pots is roughly £1m 

£300k from loan pot = £200k left 

£200k loan fee 

£500k transfer fee 

It’s expected that derby will either return with an improved loan fee for smith - Wednesday apparently want obligation to buy Derby aren’t interested in this

as for alternatives Warne Is keen on a couple of prem loans. 
 

Moxon is still a target as is Arblaster a new name being talked about is Daniel Crowley at Notts apparently recommended by Mcgolderick 

But this is flexible but that’s why we have to be really resourceful. Say we bought Moxon for £400k that’s 100k left plus 200k in loans that potentially could be either 300k loan fee or £400 k for wages for a brilliant out of contract player

We need to win tonight and tomorrow to build a bit of momentum 

predictions 

1-2 tonight 

3-1 Saturday 

I’d be really tempted to play 4-3-3 tonight

bird Thompson

NML Collins Barks

I’m trying to convince myself that 56 is young!! 🫣

I’m only 29 and football manager has corrupted my view on what I view as young. Even now I talk about early 20s players as young lad 😂

Left back………on the bench! 😜

Tbh I think he will be gone in the summer. He’s inconsistent and needs to possibly drop down a level and play as a 10 get the goals and assists then rebuild his career. I think his versatility has killer him.

How close is cbt from being done @simmoram1995

I think fairly it’s to do with upfront payments. I think Charlton we’re looking for about 5-600k upfront

Our record on Australians isn't the best.  We've even broken the one that was supposed to be a championship regular.  A pass from me.

He can’t be any worse than Mile Sterjovski and Zadkovich 😂

Im sorry but there is absolutely no way that Cole who is being looked at by half the Championship for a lot of money is possible, and there is definitely 0 chance of Shankland happening when Burnley and several other teams have been credited with strong interest at around 3M.

Devante Cole is out of contract 

Just now, Anag Ram said:

What, on here or elsewhere cos all of those names have been mentioned on here.

Elsewhere. The other name I’ve heard if promoted is Shankland at Hearts 

So some more information I’ve heard.

CBT - almost done 

- Langstaff is the top striker target as is Devante Cole 

- wide players - two youngsters from Brentford  , dobra and one from Mansfield - 

CM targets are Moxon , Dobson at charlton and loan deal for a guy at Sheffield United 

I’ve heard is the following today:

we’ve had scouts at Notts County games recently 

Owen Moxon is a name we’re after plus we’ve scouted in SPL, Notthern Ireland and one scout has been to a French league match.

Wildsmith not playing has something to do with a contract dispute 

Biggest decision should be to pull out of extending TJJ loan he’s awful

Bloody hope so, even if we go up 

His football is garbage , signings are appalling if i were clowes I wouldn’t give him anything
