    Fingers crossed you are right but can't see it with two of them. Stewart and Protchard I doubt they will stick around, too good for this level!

  2. Don't write us out of these play-offs yet,and,as we know anything can happen in them. I think Alex Neill has identified the problems with the players and with our defending. If he can make progress with our attacking capability,we could be the team going into the end of the season in a good run of form.
    We could do with a bit of good luck mind,particularly with injuries and keeping Matete off another yellow!

    Absolutely too good for this league, but remember Pritchard needed the move to get his career back on track he’s settled in really well and will want to stay imo, Stuart is playing the best football of his career and the same has really settled in well and seems to love the club.
    Neil is a sunderland fan so again he’s not Gona wana **** off just yet.

    Well if he doesn't stay that doesn't bode well. I would have thought like the Neil would really want to stay and play for his home town club, I mean he has just broken into the 1st team this season. Surely if we don't go up he wouldn't jump ship??? Unless the people in charge can get a decent sum of money for him, but does that show desire and commitment to the club, by constantly bringing in a new batch of on loan players season upon season.

  7. Every player has a value mate,and we'll cash in if it's met. As much as I like Dan...I think he's a really talented boy...the one I would hate to lose at the end of this season is Stewart. I think he has the potential to become a real star.

    If we sell Neil for a big fee, does that not allow us much more salary cap leeway for next season ?

    We have been battling clubs away for nearly 3 years now. There comes a point when we won't be able to, or more to the point, should do. Loads of interest from higher levels.

    Yeah I see your point mate but we don’t need to sell and I don’t think he’ll want to leave just yet.

    Makes total sense, instead of getting "compensation" (2 goldfish and a bag of sweets).

    A board room conversation playing out in the public domain is the top and bottom of it. Both sides after their own best deal.
