    We've spent more money than any other club within 2 years of promotion from League One that I can find. Please shut up.

    Ah but that doesn't suit some people's agenda against the club!

    Yes we're all unhappy with the way things have gone this season especially after last season and expectations have risen but people will look for any kind of point to knock the club

    A nothing game. Some bright sparks but overall pretty grim. End the season now please.

    Genuinely don’t think we win again this season. Think we nick a couple of draws still like today.

    Huddersfield not beating Rotherham is good news

    Wouldn’t say we did enough to win even if we had the only real clear chances. Big missed opportunity for us though other results were kind.

    I'll take a draw. We possibly didn't deserve it, though I'd hardly say they deserved anything more either.

    Stopped the rot and 1 point closer to breathing a bit easier. Hopefully this season will soon be over.

    Personally I don’t want / need an owner who spends his own money. I just want one who spends the money the club generates in the right way.

    Owners spending their own money is what gets a lot of clubs in trouble

    Why doesn't Sinclair Armstrong play every game? Absolute beast.

    Probably expect the season ticket emails to come out. Given we have a point at least. Best chance anyway.

    Absolute minimal given a club like ours mate. Sure the accounts will show it all anyway.

    He splits opinion and he’s very raw. I’d play him in the away games more but the manager likes ball players and he has the first touch of a combine harvester. Personally I’m a fan but there are a lot of games where he gets in those positions and completely ****s it.

    But isn't that why FFP or whatever it's called these days was brought in for - to stop owners ploughing loads of money into clubs to try and make it a level playing field? Probably about 20 to 30 years too late for my liking tbh.

    Im sure you were saying back in the summer (or the one before) that he’d spent loads of his own money on the pitches at the AOL. So there’s something :D

    Yeah extremely raw but offers so much more than Dykes. Cifuentes doing a hell of a job.
