    Chairman Nick Higgs will be holding a Q and A session before Saturday's home game against Oxford.

    The informal session will take place in the Bristol Room behind the Blackthorn End at 12.30pm.

    Everyone is welcome and Nick will be happy to take all sensible questions.

    I'm not sure mine would be sensible. More of a rant really.

    "The club has approached over 30 players"


    "The club spoke to both Liverpool and Arsenal about strikers"


    "There still is money available and we are still working. There could be another striker coming in"


    "I have a conversation with John every day of the week and he comes to the Board meetings"


    "There is no point bringing in someone who is not going to improve things"


    "You cannot employ a manager and tell him how to manage. I have a very good relationship with John"
