    It doesn't really matter what you think, with all due respect. Why are people jumping to the conclusion that it's just about losing his seat. People have other things going on and I've known the kid for nigh on 40 years, he isn't any snowflake. I've also stated he will probably still get one, because he has nowt else to do. He's seen far worse himself, but he is still allowed a viewpoint without being labelled.

    Twine hasnt been great for them, been used as a left winger which he isnt

    Hes one of those players that doesnt offer a huge amount if he doesnt score, other than quality set pieces

    He has absolutely won them points though mate. A players value is sometimes weighted by the games they did alright in.

    Johnson and Richardson spring to mind.

    Are you making a stand cos I’m not sending you any recipes? Sorry if I’ve upset you.
    It’s mag like entitled behaviour. People are becoming the people they hate.

    You see I would have to make sure Twine was unavailable on Friday before making these comments, such is my luck

    Yes that’s right, you’ve nailed it. Everyone’s a mag cos they don’t have the same viewpoint as you.
    Now I will take heed of Scouts advice

    Fair enough, just the games ive watched him this season hes been poor and won't start for them when everyone is fit. He is a goal threat tho as hes a quality finisher so in that sense he is always worth it. Just hope the boy they signed from villa in the summer is still injured as hes by way n away their stand out (think he is still injured)

    I just think he gets lost too much when he is looking for space, struggles receiving on the half turn in central areas

    He is at his best when used in a free role which is what manning had him play at MK dons - probably a good move for him

    I wanted us to sign twine when we were ij the L1, sent Lee Johnson a scout report on him directly but he had pretty much agreed to join MK dons (well thats what LJ said) so think we were looking at him

    Well that's the 3 people behind, 3 people in front and the 2 either side of were you sit, so that's 8 people that are going to be so happy first home game next season.
    I can just see their faces when they realise 3 miserable ****ers aren't coming back this season

    Whilst I haven’t really taken note of his career, I think he may be over stated because of his free kicks. Does he offer a great deal more? Serious question like cos I haven’t really followed him

    His finishing is his main strength for sure but i find his positional play n decision making poor - again only going on what ive seen of him. Dont think the move to burnley helped him at all, hasnt had the opportunity to kick on but @Nads does actually make a good point - he will be a loss to hull. When everyone is fit he wouldnt start for them n he wouldnt start for us but he is a threat when on it as he can score from anyway. Hull are missing playerd so losing him is a hammer blow (unless they have someone else lined up)

    As a coach you always want players like that in your squad so got that he will be a loss to them so i def take my original comment to @Nads back - he will be a loss

    It’s a thing for sure mate. I’d agree he’s not a player that’s going to control games or really bring a whole team to life, but he will get you points from nowhere.

    Think about the games we’ve drawn this season, he could have bagged one from something, like Jacky has been doing.

    I’m not suggesting we sign him mind, to be clear, I agree with you rhat we SHOULD have maybe in past, but his nomadic existence since MK says a lot.

    no chance it was because of the fans imo. If that was the case we’d not have Beale in charge I think kld is a bit to strong minded to listen to a few keyboard warriors personally.

    Delap is out for the match on Friday he’ll be a much bigger loss for them than Twine imo.

    Will Connolly be fit after going off on friday? If he isn't Billy Sharp will start and I can already predict the discourse among our fans if he scores.

    Saw his last game and he was outstanding , real classy, but he is not what we are short of atm, and I doubt we could afford him tbh.

    With all due respect, I didn't label anyone and didn't jump to anyone conclusion on it being about losing his seat. But some are making out that they aren't going to renew because it's that's bad at the minute, when it's not really, and it's been far worse
