Rumours down here that the owners may throw a bit more money into the playing budget in the summer. I think they are realising that they can't have a 4th season of underachievement on the bounce.
There were grumblings of discontent this season at the lack of on-pitch progress under Eisner with...
I'm bored with this season now. Time to look at flimsy "player linked with" nonsense.
Apparently we are looking at Gavin Whyte of Cardiff. Mousinho knows him from his Oxford days.
We may also make a move for local lad Tommy Leigh of Accy.
Very early days of course. Expecting to churn...
Yes, a Barnsley team resting players for the playoffs. I wouldn't rely too much on that. You have two games against teams with nowt to play for. You should win those and not have to worry about Peterborough.
We've sold plenty of tickets for our game at Derby. A lot of these were bought when it looked like it might be a big playoff-place battle. Sadly, our predictable collapse in form means that quite a few will likely be unused unless they've managed to sell at a knock-down price.
2-0 win for...
Scott Twine went for £5M last summer, so £4M isn't ridiculous. As others have said, it all depends on his contract and agent etc. If Rovers do sell and reinvest then I can see them having a good season. I can begrudgingly say that Barton does seem to have a good eye for a player.
We may have a...
Huge night at the top of the table. Plymouth and Ipswich have the chance to all-but seal promotion. Bolton can also almost confirm a playoff berth. I'm jealous.
Milan could be a bit mad (he once held back the players' salaries after a poor performance) but he genuinely loved football and really wanted his club to succeed. He was very popular with us too. Fun times.
We've been saying that for the last three years. I don't really see any reason to be overly optimistic about next season. Budget-wise we'll be in with a shot at the play-offs but no more. Yet another rebuild too. We seem to be doing that every summer.
It would be nice to not have another 2-3...
Looks like Barnsley's late run has come up short, although they still have a chance of keeping it going with the big game on Tuesday. However, it was always going to be tough with Ipswich and Argyle's solid form.
Wednesday are really just about hanging on and need a bit of a miracle now. I...
They never played aerial-bombardment with us. There's a sense on here that their one tactic is to have a beanpole striker that they launch it long to. The Cowleys are studious types and they've definitely tried to adapt their style.
Don't get me wrong, it's still not exactly tiki-taka and...
At the risk of being unpopular with the majority on here, I think Ipswich will go up and be competitive in the Championship next season. I see them battling for a play-off spot potentially. They have a squad already of Championship-level players and the resources to add quality to it. They...
Don't be surprised if Accy sneak a win against us today. They will be motivated at least. We are likely to be pretty apathetic both on and off the pitch. Good chance of a draw at least as that's all we're doing at the moment.
We'll take Harness back for half what we sold him to you for. Joe Pigott is unlikely as neither manager he's played under here has considered him as a first-teamer. I do think we've under-used him though.
I remember saying when you signed Ahadme that I'd be surprised if he did well for you...
Accy at home. Likely to be a very disinterested crowd going through the pub-match-pub motions. Some may decide to make it pub-pub-pub instead.
Big game for Stanley though. 1-1 (Raggett 34 mins, header from a corner)
Meh. 1-5 not too bad. Missed out on Plymouth and Barnsley. Chucking us in at 6th was more in hope than expectation. At least I got MK Dons and Oxford right.
Looks like 2 of the bottom 4. Not a bad effort all said and done.
Pack could likely have stayed in the Championship this season but we managed to appeal to his emotions in wanting to play for his hometown club. He's very driven, and has often been visibly irked when others haven't hit his standards. Along with Joe Morrell he's had long stints out through...
