Them interviews in the LET are becoming unbearable to read, it's just constant waffle.

I could see Fielding and Bauer being options as they are both free. Absolutely need a cm to replace Reed, no way will Davenport be good enough yet. Striker is a must, as is a full back to challenge Nyambe. As has been said, anyone hoping for Mulgrew, Evans, Smallwood & Bennett not to play much of a part next season is going to be very disapointed, i'd put my mortgage on at least 3 of them lining up on the opening day of next season.

At least one of them will be back in in Saturday, no way will Tony play an unchanged side.

Don't get me wrong ive enjoyed tonight, but i'll bet anyone here anything that Smallwood & Evans will be back in the side on Saturday and we'll be 2-0 down after 30 mins. Everything is so predictable relating to Rovers at the minute.

Can someone at the fans forum please pull Waggott up at the next meeting on his rediculous claims that most clubs would need the whole Darwen End this season? It's sold out twice i think? With maybe one or two more bringing over 3k.

Said all along we would win tonight. Saturday will see Evans & Smallwood back in and we'll lose our last 5.

Chapman not even on bench for under 23s tonight, either injured or maybe on our bench tomorrow?!

We'll win this as nobody is expecting it, then lose our next 5.

If we're drawing or a goal down when the board goes up at the end of 90 minutes you might aswell go home, coming upto 26 months since we last scored a injury time winner/equaliser in the league.

We'll win this 2-1, then lose our next 5.

That'll never, ever happen.

Anyone in the last 40 years? Yeah thats what i meant. Shearer, Duff, Bentley, Santa Cruz, Samba, Jones, Rhodes all sold for mega money, the year after in every case we really struggled. It's pure fantasy to suggest we'll sell Dack and buy 5 players to become a better team, not a chance it will work that way.

This is exactly what would happen, when has selling our best player to invest the funds into the team ever made us stronger?

This will be the most routine 2-0 win that Stoke will ever have.

Make of this what you will. I've just been told that the club had planned an "early bird" deal that would have seen season tickets on sale by easter weekend, but because Zebra Finance have just gone bust they have had to abandon them plans and delay it.

I'm not even worrying about that scenario because I know it will happen.

Only if you can't fit them in. For the sake of an extra 1000 applications I'm sure we could have fit them in somewhere!

I'd personally be amazed if we ended up with 4 proven championship players in the summer that could walk straight into our team. It just won't happen no matter what TM says between now and August 9th. I predict we might get one on loan who has played a lot in the championship from somewhere, a couple of league one players (thinking Bauer etc), a couple of young players that we'll put on the bench for the season and give 5 minutes here and there too, and another premier league loan who has had spells in this league but hasn't really done it anywhere yet.

Realistic I'd say from what we have seen with our eyes over the past 6/7 weeks, instead of being deluded.

Biggest home banker this weekend anywhere in England this one. As it's my birthday on Sunday the misses has bought match & train tickets for me and my lad to go, cheers I think. 4-1 Villa, our goal coming in the 86th minute.

Championship and prem clubs have to complete all perm and loan signings by August 9th for next season. We're screwed.

10 years ago or something like that i read earlier.

I honestly think anyone expecting wholesale changes is going to be disappointed. Williams, Mulgrew, Smallwood, Bennett, Evans, Samuel will all still be around the squad IMO, could possibly see loan moves for Smallwood/Samuel but nobody is paying a fee for any of that lot. I think Dack will be sold, then hopefully Mowbray will bring in players ready to go into the first 11 next season, I'm not to hopeful though I have to admit.

I think Leutwiler, Gladwin, Hart, Rodwell & Downing will all move on permanent deals I could see Smallwood & Williams going out on loan to league one sides, nobody is paying a fee for those two. Evans, Bennett, Conway, Mulgrew & Samuel will all still be in the squad I think.

Yeah shame that. Leek is pretty much on my doorstep so I was thinking of going along later. It's a lovely little town too.
