    It's been three long months but the Chairboys are back in action with a trip to Yorkshire to take on the newly promoted Bantams at Valley Parade our last visit in the league was 7 years ago but we have also visited twice in cup competitions two seasons ago winning the last three our last defeet came twelve and a half years ago.
    Dodds has totally changed the team during the summer but Kone will start up front.
    I won't be travelling but I will be keeping a close eye on the game and let's hope the new squad has gelled and we can start the season with all three points<cheers>

    I can’t see Kone staying if he is asked to be a lone striker. I have a (bad) feeling it’s going to be, hit is long to Fink and ask the others to feed off scraps.

    No Kone as Dodds reckons all the transfer speculation has got to him but we have offered Kone a new contract.,

    So after 16mins we have had 2/3 posession, conceded 2 goals and had not one shot and only 4 touches inside their box

    So we are playing in our half effectively

    We don't seem to be very good against "League 2 sides"

    I would have to say in seasons past it was always a case don't get relegated from League 1 then it moved to being happy in mid table, moved on again to last couple of seasons a top ten finish, now after the changes a top six finisf is what' expected. This should be an ideal first fixture being away to a team that only just scrapped out of League 2

    Is this the Dodds new ideology. Pass it around in your own half, opposition scores. Repeat until too late

    You can't blame Kone for wanting a move from a team with a clueless manager had he started today he would have been up front on his own why does Dodds stick with it? <grr> :headbang: :steam:

    It's our new attacking style. Get Bradley, Tilley and Junior on I say

    He'll probably bring on Hartridge
