Player that called bullshit when bullshit needed calling. Played injured for us and waved a trigger to play at Wembley for us. All the best to him going forward. Still wanting to play at his age. Class.

Agreed.

Loved watching Geads. Ups and downs here but some great goals, some great performances. Hope he has a great last year or 2 up there.

He’s a player I’ll remember for sure.
 
Now contracts are done (still don’t think we’ll retain Bailey) we should see progress on new signings. Fingers crossed for a couple before we head to Portugal

I agree mate. To win a football match you have to win the ball, intercept the ball and get yourself and others into positions that hurt the opposition. I’d say 09 does all of them most games. I’m not sure what people moan about.
One thing I picked up on, especially in the first leg was when their keeper got the ball o'nien would spirt 20-30 yards and put himself between 2 defenders, it may have looked to some that he was marking no-one, however what he was doing was narrowing the space to 2 players so If the keeper went short, whoever he played it to would be under pressure, which then resulted in the keeper going long.
This stopped the playing the ball out from the back which they like to do, I presume AN would have been behind some of this but like you said that's the bit people don't understand, AN will have instructed o'nien exactly what to do and he executed it perfectly and I believe will have had a massive impact on us winning the play offs.
People in the stands might not notice it as much but AN could not have been happier with the performances that o'nien put in
 
on the other side of the argument, does anyone think Neil would put up with any of Morrisons **** if indeed he gave any reason?

Who’s this Brad Jones journo that’s popped up on Twitter, he reckons he knows loads on us

He reckons we aren’t interested in Morrison, but Footy Insider are the ones who broke the news stating we are, and they have called pretty much all our transfers since last summer
 
Alan Nixon has linked us with Danny Ballard, Arsenal centre half, chased by Millwall, Blackpool and us
Would like to see this one come off. Very good young centre half just what we should be looking at
 
Jack Clarke - yes please.
Dan Ballard - yes please.
Ravel Morrison - yes please.

Absolutely buzzing if we start our recruitment with those three.

Morrison was a level-headed professional for Derby and brought through their youngsters last season. He can also play deeper in midfield so will be a very shrewd signing on a free. Alex Neil strikes me as the type who doesn’t put up with any **** regarding attitude so if it doesn’t work out, he’ll sell him.

Clarke has been class for us towards the end of the season. A few mags at my work watched the play off semi 2nd leg and said that Clarke looked absolute quality and they actually want the mags to sign him. Be funny if we get that one over the line on a permanent just so I can wind them up a bit!

Ballard was impressive last season in the championship I believe. Resounding yes to that one especially if Wright is considering his options because we only have Batth as a senior centre back!
