Im sure the ref saw it but Travis being the pro didnt make a meal of it.

Steele will earn more than most of us in our lifetime by sitting on the bench (does he even make the bench?) and training. Just because backup goalies are easy to use for quota's.

Obviously there for the homegrown quota - come on lol

i know its not new - just you do not see it happen much in this division. Just wondering if we will start to see more of it. Thanks for the explanation of the process. Yes, its no use to us really and had he been sent off we could have gone on to win by more.

Next one that needs a 5 year contract.

Madine just given a 3-game retrospective ban for stamping on Travis' ankle. is this going to be a thing this season?

There is some justice int he world it seems. Thing is - is this going to be a thing this season? Retrospective punishments?

Yeah, think he needs a kick up the ass. Did all the hard work, cemented himself in the team but has not really kicked on this season. Probably felt it was job done - in the team now and a mainstay. Under TM it probably would have been. The emergence of Wharton is brilliant because it should give him that kick up the ass. On performances, I don't see how he gets in our midfield right now. Certainly Wharton deserves to keep his place for the time being and Morton has played very well too and his loan will probably demand minutes too. Travis captain and the ultimate shithouser that all teams need.

That's not really his game, he usually cuts in ala BBD.

My feelings exactly. Good window overall but two more in the positions you stated is what i would have wanted to make it an excellent window.

Sometimes? Every time Bowler had the ball he had Wharton, Pickering, and sometimes BDD on him straight away. We doubled/tripled up on him - that was the plan. Solely putting it on Pickering is way off.

And then the club was kind enough to extend that contract while he was injured. Not bad for two years of not playing that he still got paid. BBD is taking a big risk and I hope it doesnt play on his mind as we need him firing on all cylinders.

Some have said Cowans 2.0 as well. Not really sure about the Pirlo comparisons to be honest. Not seen the same range of passing for that to be the case.

It is a risk for Brereton. A serious injury and that big signing on fee and large contract may not come. Then he is out of contract with us after that. Surely it makes sense to agree something here but with a release clause.

I was joking - but thanks for the explanation lol

Okay, with the window done and dusted, can someone explain what an option to buy is - im still confused.

Nyambe started the last game

As if he would know.

Have to factor in the time in india now too. 10pm, BBD aint going nowhere unless someone bids what we want.

hearing rumours of Danny Rose to Sunderland lol - tony always did like a project.

Nope

I will raise you Francis Jeffers

Also, why Harrop? He cant get into Prestons team and was on loan at Fleetwood last season.

Danny Rose wont come - he has been desperate to leave Watford since they got relegated. Wants PL - not sure if anyone up there will take him. Maybe go abroad perhaps.

We might have to say tatare to one on two in defence (out on loan), but they should accept getting pulled (its not like we are putting them to sleep, afterall). Anyway, I hope he shines, shows some wisdom, and has the gum-tion to know he has to work hard to get in this well-drilled team.
