Scott129 Posted March 15 Share Posted March 15 Can't believe opposition fans are still peddling this crap. Yes, we have a good wage budget for the league, but 50% more than Bolton? Utter rubbish. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CBRammette Posted March 15 Share Posted March 15 Not at all confident about this based on 1) how well we play when we have a big crowd 2) how atmosphere often worse with big crowd and 3)how well we have played in these sorts of big games. Hopefully for once will be happily surprised and it will be like the Brighton play off game. jimtastic56, Ramarena, RadioactiveWaste and 2 others 1 1 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I remember reading somewhere that Bird and Knight were on Champ-level contracts, and obvs Bielik was. But now? Maybe Hourihane and probably Bradley are well paid. Maybe Gayle, but that was out of necessity. We're hardly Barry Bannan'ing our way through the league. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

cstand Posted March 15 Share Posted March 15 (edited) Don’t forget engineering works Manchester to Sheffield line blocked and Sheffield to Chesterfield signalling upgrade means some platforms are not available so travel from other areas could be affected. https://news.eastmidlandsrailway.co.uk/news/hope-valley-upgrade-works-to-affect-emr-regional-and-intercity-routes-for-nine-days Engineering work on the Hope Valley line will mean the EMR and XC services to and from Sheffield are diverting via Barrow Hill. This will lead to these trains being retimed and as a result the Derby to Matlock trains have also had their times amended and a through route from Nottingham has had to be cancelled Edited March 15 by cstand Ellafella 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sufferingfool Posted March 15 Share Posted March 15 It will be important that the South stand sets the tone, united and loud then the rest will follow. No need to get into negative tit for tat stuff with Bolton just positive support for the team whatever is going on on the pitch. hales300k, DavesaRam, Andicis and 6 others 6 2 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Steve How Hard? Posted March 15 Share Posted March 15 (edited) I thought a key battle in this one would be if Ebou Adams could stifle the threat of Kyle Dempsey. Dempsey has been a thorn in our side in recent battles and seems to dictate the play for Bolton. Interestingly though he was only on the bench for them midweek. Could some of the visiting Bolton fans( @Wanderlust or @Warren Blufitt) on here shed any light on why? Was it a case of resting him for Saturday or was he dropped? Edited March 15 by Steve How Hard?

Well, we all know why we didn't beat Bolton, and we should have beaten Pompey, so it's not much to cling to when we've also beaten all the other teams he's named.....

Could some of the visiting Bolton fans( @Wanderlust or @Warren Blufitt) on here shed any light on why? Was it a case of resting him for Saturday or was he dropped? He's not been a regular starter for a while now since he came back from injury. Did really well for us when were down to the bare bones a couple of months ago but had to play with - check this out - a broken vertebrae. I s*** you not - we were desperate. Anyway he was rested when George T returned from suspension and has mainly been used as a sub since. Sheehan and George Thomason are the string pullers, with Sheehan playing just in front of the back 3. More recently, Maghoma has been playing too. All 3 can make killer passes. Some of our better players are out for the season - a couple will be returning soon hopefully. As regards our wage structure, it's changed a lot over the last 2 years. A lot of our players were bought on the cheap e.g. our captain Santos from Barnet and Eoin Toal from Derry City who was £75k - although this rose by another £75k when he was capped for NI - however I can't imagine he's on much. But in January we splashed out on Collins (est £750k) as we had no strikers under the age of 30 still fit, and he'll be on a load. Generally though we've stuck to a firm wage cap. That tight-fisted approach cost us as we walked away from two excellent players whose personal demands scuppered the deals despite the clubs agreeing a sale. And the team cost around £2.5 million in transfers including signings for the B team. Wages a lot less than yours but more than half I'd have thought.
