They were on about it on Talksport, strong rumour apparently, but must admit it did seem odd.

Leonard does look to have a chance,but giving Gallagher away for free, who's played alongside Armstrong, Brereton and now Szmodics with their scoring records, wouldn't appear to be the best move for his progress.

Keiran Mckenna in the frame apparently

It does help if your population is twice as big.

How do you know?

If the thousands are staying away until Venkys have gone, why would the price matter? Not being facetious,it's a serious question.

If it's Pears or Angus Gunn, I'll stick thanks.

From what I've seen, we've gone from 8th to 7th to ground zero in 2 years. Who gets the Blue Peter badge?

Then again, I don't remember one person on here giving us an Earthly.

Every game?

He doesn't.

Club propaganda unit🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣

Because we've supposedly no money, and he's an experienced Championship forward who's already paid for. It makes the most sense.

I know we've been linked before, thought it was more recent than that to be honest.

Got told today we're interested in Ross Sykes. Rovers, Boro and Plymouth interested.

Might it be that concentrating on not letting them in, has maybe affected the attacking side of things? Or is that a bit too simplistic?

Nottinghamshire live saying Tuesday at the earliest.

I realise his hands are tied to a point, but can we not point the finger at the head of recruitment for poor recruitment? Might as well let Waggott off

I'm sure if Eustace wants a new keeper it will be the first name on the list,he may keep Pears as back up. The one bonus is, as bad as it's been, this season has given him a good look.

I wouldn't be too hasty with Pears,he's young for a keeper, and this season might just stand him in good stead. Yes, he's dropped a couple of clangers, but if anyone thinks we'll sign a keeper who doesn't, they will be in for disappointment. The improved defensive displays have come with Pears in goal. It looks like we've a coach who can set up a defence,it'll be interesting if Eustace gives him his support going forward.

When Broughton came in, he actually said this is a refurb, not a rebuild. We're starting his 3rd season, him and his extensive, shiny new recruitment team might want to at least get the tools out of the van.

No, it's a shame being one of ours, but he just hasn't pushed on. Eustace may see it as horses for courses though, he may just not see Buckley as right for the situation last season (let's call it last season) Using the same logic, he obviously feels he can trust Dolan and Gallagher. I personally think we'd be mad to let them go. Despite the stick they both get, they're both experienced squad players and they are both paid for. What we need is to keep both if possible, then sign players to challenge them for their place. They've been first choice players for too long.

Now we're safe, I'm sure he'll look back on this period as a pre pre-season. As fraught as it's been, it's been the perfect situation to assess what he does and doesn't need.

Wasn't she a nurse in Carry on Doctor?

Agree completely. It's been a grind, but any coach who can get 6 clean sheets in 17 out of our team deserves the chance for a fresh start next season.
