    Do you think he is better or worse than Burstow Hemir Meyander, i think he has the edge on all 3

    Permanently injured and probably earning the wages of all those players?

    He'll be on a higher wage than all three, has played less than Burstow, won't make us any money, has been on more reality TV shows than appearances this year. Terrible signing.

    Once again RTB, cracking thread !
    As usual my prediction last week was way off the mark but was probably fuelled by too much alcohol, based on the fact that I never get a prediction correct I’m going for a 3-0 defeat and crossing my fingers.
    We got a win there last season when nobody expected us to and hopefully history repeats itself. I just think we have too many important players missing and don’t have the quality in reserve to cope without them.

    Is also a totally different player, in a different position to the players mentioned.
    A fairer comparison would be to Jobe, Aouchiche and Pritchard

    Muchas gracias como de RTB.
    Historically, we nearly always have a season which goes right to the end to keep up the intrigue. Whilst we keep the faith and hope that the playoffs are still in sight, maybe realistically we'll settle in midtable --- but the intrigue is still going to be here- I do feel a bit for Dodds - which way will he go- continue much as we are and hope he makes his name by being the one who gets the same players back to what we were doing - or does he risk it by trying the squad players, experimenting and setting up for next year- ?
    However , expect the unexpected, Norwich is a place we like, so obviously we'll stroll this 3-0

    Good to hear. If he can learn to use his physique, and fitness is key, he could well be a threat. Always been up to him though, hopefully a step forward for him.

    I know exactly what you mean, can't quite put my finger on it either just think he will be a good player, hopefully for us.

    I’m backing him to hit the ground running next season, looked fit and sharp lately a goal could transform him

    Yeah, think a goal would give him a confidence boost.

    I’ve got no faith we can win this and that pains me.

    Genuinely think remainder of season should be used getting us strong for next, so play Rigg more, play Hemir more etc.

    We ain’t going up or down, let’s just get a head start.

    We are in slow traffic just North of Doncaster but Google maps saying around 3 1/4 hrs, so plenty of time.
    Me and grandson are going for narrow wins:1980_boogie_down: (2-1 and 1-0) but 2 sons aren't as optimistic <doh>
