    I agree mate, we do need to get a few more over the line but I do think our squad is good enough for at least play offs

    Give the young lads a decent run in the side, Diamond, Embelton etc, no crowds could actually benefit them and allow them to find their feet. We lack pace and creativity, the young lads could be the answer. Got a feeling Parkinson would never allow it though.

    At one time I'd have laughed at that mate, not now though.

    I've seen our players wilt when we've had big crowds in League One ...

    ... conversely it visibly gives the opposition a huge lift.

    Shouldn't be that way but I think you make a great point.

    They had a 5m offer knocked back for him at the start of the month. I can’t see them emptying the bank for him while Edouard is still there. He’s a class act, though. His goal against us in the 2-2 draw at the SOL was sublime. It had a touch of Bergkamp about it.

    Isn't this post supposed to be about our takeover, or am I missing something.

    I'm not sure how strictly the rules are enforced or adhered to ...

    ... as the next meeting is supposed to be Friday I think people have said all they can.

    I could make something up if you like ;)

    Still need a proper RWB imo. And cover for LWB. Surely there's some decent young uns we can snap up from the lower leagues, or even non league with potential.

    It may seem brutal but we need to be targeting clubs in trouble, like Charlton.

    Sunderland won't go under and players are mercenaries, so let's try tempting a few.

    I would but some people would quote it as fact.

    Having said that, I have heard Methven has been asked to spend more time with his family ;)

    Was it ever established if Methven, as Mad Bob said, is suffering from cancer?

    Not that I've heard although they say a third of people will get some form or other ...

    ... so, it's possible and may well be something minor.
