    Because there will be decisions to make. I hope we can resist. But in January sometimes silly money gets thrown about.

    if we are pushing top 2 it will obviously make things even easier to be resolute.

    But if the likes of Liverpool come in for players and offer decent fees, it’s really hard to convince them not to, even if as fans we think it’s a no brainer for players to stay.

    Yes I'm fine, curious why you mentioned Dan Neil and possibly leaving in the summer, when a, its in the past and b, it doesn't matter as he's not going anywhere till January.

    But again, yes I'm OK are you?

    Stuck £75 on us winning the league at 20s and £50 on us getting promoted at 6s after Saturday. Must say I'm quietly confident. This is some team, with a load of maturity and developing to go. If we're like this now, what will we be like in 6 months?

    Not sure much will change can’t see the club being tempted to sell if we are around the top 2 it’s would be madness to cash in on any of this squad and madness for any of this squad to want to leave. Something special is going to happen this season I can feel it in my water.

    agree if we are around top 2. Long way to get there yet tho. Need to keep our heads down and keep winning. Love what I’m seeing

    Yes. Because I was replying to someone. He was close to leaving. We are lucky to have him continuing here. That's it. You made a point and that's it.

    Nah we made 3 points, away at Blackburn while not playing as well as we could.

    The rest is noise and not important

    Well if Liverpool came in with seriously good bids for any of our lads, they'd be off, but I'm sure we'd do very well out of and be able to reinvest very well.

    The problem would be if we sold too soon to smaller clubs, such as Burnley

    Even if we resist it’s going to be tough and difficult and tense. Agents will see to that.

    The same as you don't have to hint he was close to leaving. Everyone knows you get info and posting that adds fuel to a fire that is not needed.

    Just my opinion

    Not many will win there I'd say.

    Getting bodies in the way under heavy pressure is all part of being a team. Great to see that, it matters to all of them.

    Some very good work by everyone there. Huggins had a tough time mind, let's hope it sharpens him up as we'll miss Cirkin.

    Well said Smug.
    We're never going to dominate every game, Rovers were a very big test from a team on form.
    We dug in when needed but there's goals in this young team and they obliged again tonite.
    Lots of good performances, we could have conceded 3 and easily scored 6 it was that type of game.
    My biggest gripe is the Ref again, Ballard is taken out by their keeper is made to leave the field at the wrong end for us he restarts the game and we're punished, then he waved Ballard back on to line up for the KO.
    That seems wrong from every angle.

    Can I just say, that is the best win so far. The boys tonight weathered the storm early doors, and did the business up top. I said before the game in a conversation with my fatha that I fancy us this season if we win. After seeing the way we won that game, I fancy us even more. What a fantastic win that was.
