Equally he could have thanked the club for all the patience they showed him and the efforts of the fitness team considering we paid him a lot of money for very little return when taken over the time he was with us.

You saw something I didn't then. For me both sides were sluggish and pretty poor. I saw nothing from either team to convince me they'll finish ahead of us even with the 4 point deduction. Not totally sold on Lankshear either and glad we didn't sign him.

Looks like four Championship clubs are trying to sign him but, unfortunately, we're not one of them. Agree he would be a great replacement for Charles.

Good draw for us and home advantage might swing it our way. Should be a good game.

Think he'll get plenty of minutes off the bench because Tonda tends to give the striker 60-70 minutes max. I'd keep Archer as an option mainly from the left as cover for Leo because he's shown he can do that job and presents a goal threat plus some decent pace.

It's not.

I get that we don't have pots of cash available for transfers but the next few weeks will tell us how serious the club is about going all out for an automatic spot. With a 4 point deficit it's going to be a stretch and we do need a decent striker to share the load with Larin plus a good replacement for Charles if we really want to go for it (assuming THB, Leo, and Jander stay). Regards the striker I think the lad on loan from City would be a good addition to the squad but, as others have said, we probably need another front man with some experience and a good track record at this level after losing Stewart.

Good idea. What's Blackburn's target fund for them to take him off our hands?

Doubt he'll get offered more than we're paying him.

I still think we should keep Archer. He's been good in his recent appearances and offers us something different plus he can score goals. We'd likely only get peanuts if we sell him so he's one I think we should retain as a squad player.

Not sure how many more runs we should be giving Edozie. Don't think he's going to cut it for us.

Then you've got the defenders especially THB and Manning. Would be great if Fellows starts scoring but I'm not holding my breath.

Is this a new board game? Can't be arsed to work out what it all means. Who is the better player?

I like the look of Mubama. Strong and quick plus a decent finisher. Hope we get this one across the line. Him and Larin would be great options up front.

Sounds suspiciously like Boro were engaged in a bit of cheating 🙂
