    100% incredible tactical mind too. The managers go too, to get instructions across to players. That is a significant contribution and shouldnt be taking lightly, especially given the younger age of our squad.

    Cirkin, Hume or Neil could be captains in the long term. Right now we need Batth for another 12 months and I'm glad to see the club and the player seem to feel the same

    If we weren't able to sign any more players, for whatever reasons, and we kept Rosco and our current defenders, I'm confident that we would finish in the top 8, at least.

    Yes I want another two strikers, a 28 year old seasoned attacking MF and another backup keeper, however, we look good at the moment, don't we?

    I also still believe that we will capture a couple of marqee players too....

    Imagine having Rosco and Amad for this next season....wow!....top 6?.....AYE!

    I completely agree, Prichard is always on the lookout for the pockets of space between the lines and does most of his work there. He is extremely effective and would be a massive miss when we are grinding out results.

    This seems to be missed by some, we already had defenders that would have prevented Luton from bullying us at corners. Unfortunately they were injured. Way some go on you would think that backing against Luton was what we had all season!

    I hope Pritch stays but it has been said since January that he wants away for family reasons, I assume that's still the case.

    There was a couple on hear that heard things that were convinced he was gone.

    The only reservation can be about his endurance. I'd live with that.

    He's a cracking player, sees all the game, changes games and helps other players. At our level, near gold dust IMO. He doesn't have to be excellent or even play every game, I'd be very happy if he stayed and if he does he'll gave a good impact

    I’d have no qualms with Neil as captain.

    Didn’t Jordan get the band a few times?

    IMO he puts more into his 70 minutes than others do in 90, that'll do for me and obviously Mowbray.

    I think he is an amazing player I just think he’s looking increasingly leggy and a bit less of an attacking threat so may decrease further, but him dropping into space and pinging it to our other attacking players is a joy to watch at times. He also draws fouls Gates style because his touch is so good.

    I’d be happy with that, could be beneficial to his development also.

    :emoticon-0102-bigsm Not in the box as much as Gatesy though! The master at dropping on the spot!

    Agreed, thats why i think he has a big impact as a sub. If we are winning hes great for coming on and drawing fouls or keeping a hold of it. If we are behind he can link play and create chances.

    Im def not against keeping him as hes what i call a proper footballer just dont think hes a week in week out starter anymore

    Still a cracking squad player, who could start 1 in 3/4 games then be used off the bench in the other games

    I have a feeling that jobe could have a huge impact this season
