yeah, we got thumped 6-1 in the League Cup by City and it just felt like a training exercise in the second half with all their kids queuing up to score a glamour goal - including Cole Palmer's first senior goal.
Amusingly we didn't even play *our* first team as the first priority was promotion...
Someone posted this on our forum, about silly spending in this division...
There's an article in today's financial times about the record amount spent in our division ahead of next season's new spending rules.

It's behind a...
I haven't watched the footage from the link, but in fairness to their fans (and I say this with a mild dislike of Peterborough just about how bitter they were when we got promoted) a fair few of them think they're doomed as well.
Obviously a few people on a forum is not necessarily...
He’s a very useful player to have, very versatile and great in the air. I wouldn’t say he’s amazing at any one position, he’s always been a utility player for us, but Ainsworth knows all about him so he could be an option.
our site doesn't say what he's gone to do exactly, it just says he's left to "explore new opportunities".
That said, the last time someone did that at Wycombe, it was our RB Jason McCarthy, hanging up his boots at the ripe old age of 29 to become a coach at Brighton.
Long-time player (as well as former Exeter man, and Franchisee) David Wheeler has just left the club, I'm assuming we paid up his contract in order to let him go as a free agent.
He had barely got a look-in this season even *before* our flood of January signings, so this is fairly unsurprising...
Well are you trying to contend that you *weren’t* whipping boys?
Re. Fin Back, yep, doesn’t fill me with confidence but I’ve never (knowingly) seen him play, we’ve got 2 more RBs though so if he’s pants, he won’t play.
I don't know which "people" you're referring to specifically, but I'd be highly surprised to see Mansfield ever even flirting with the drop spots.
Whilst we've beaten them twice, they've looked pretty solid but lacking up front (Gregory was definitely injured for at least one of those games so...
oh yeah, we can be grateful that we didn't sell Kone this window, squillion pound bid or not, but he's nailed on to go in the summer (contracted till the end of 2026) - he's already turned down a contract extension with us.
Even if we got promoted (and it's still a big if) then I'm sure...
That is definitely really bad.
I was frustrated the two times that we went up from L2 to L1 and completely failed to strengthen adequately (there were reasons why both times which I won’t bore you with, but still) - and surprise surprise, came straight back down both times.
But it’s even...
The excellently-named Fin Back joins at RB from Nottingham Forest.
EDIT: oh shit, he’s had most of his pro experience on loan at BELEAGUERED Carlisle United.
Whatever happens, this will have been a record-breaking Jan for us, we actually did do a bit of business last Jan too but this has been something else.

ah yeah, just seen that.
It was a weird one because he was supposed to come to us (again on loan) the season before that, then Man U bolloxed the loan deal at a late stage leaving us high and dry - then eventually he did sign the following season, only to get broken early doors - he made a...
Adam Reach (winger/fullback) signs as a free agent, most of his experience has come from Middlesbrough (with some lower league loans in between), Sheff Wed, and West Brom.
Looks OK on paper but has been without a club since July... :pond:
