I thought and said Brereton would never come good, or words to that effect. I have to admit that he has become a very good player for us and one of the first men picked. However, imo, that will never justify an outlay of £7M on a nineteen year old 2 years ago in our position! For way less than that we could have had a real contributor for 2 seasons and , who knows, we might have gone up! But we have him, he's playing really well and that's all about it. I won't be saying anymore on this because I know the people it will bring me into conflict with and frankly, I can't be bothered. I'm still on a high after that win and I'm going to try to stay there as long as poss!

The only thing anyone could possibly complain about is that 3 goals was a poor return for all that dominance.

I've seen plenty of those where the ref has given a free kick just outside the penalty area. couldn't really have complained if he had. Have we gone from paupers to princes in terms of pens awarded?I seem to remember when we couldn't buy one.

Please don't!

So happy to see Wharton get his chance and take it. He must have come close to leaving at one point.

hilarious! Made my day if not month!

Whoops! Ha! Amended! Pleads old age.

No question that a win tomorrow night would be the sweetest of the season (unless we need a last game win to make the 6!) I'm absolutely sick of losing to that lot year after year. Edit---amended

Wins this season: Wycombe, Coventry, Derby and QPR--- suggests that's exactly what we are!

Luton should be castigated for their poor behaviour. No way should they be above us in the League. Don't they know the rules? Their job is to stay up this year because they've only just been promoted and thoughts of top half should not enter their heads. Over the next few years they can gradually build up and wait their turn to get in the top 6. Its like queue-jumping----toatally unacceptable.

He's way too cautious. As others have said, starting Trybull and Johnson in central midfield does not give us the opportunity to quickly release our forwards. Always over-thinks it, always over-rates the opposition. Let's play to our strengths rather than our opponents.

By the river surely?!!

TM is quoted as saying "they are a difficult side to play against, they are very well organised." I'm left wondering what he expects? Being organised might be foreign to him but its a starting point for managers isn't it? You build on that.

With this result Its hard to argue we will go up or even make top 6. Every time we miss an opportunity like this the prize slips farther and farther away. Need a really big run now.

This is not unusual Jim. Shaking my head myself! Our great pub culture is disappearing fast. Its like the end of the steam engine.

I was on the Riverside with my girlfriend. Freezing and very dangerous. Crowd surging and swaying with every event on the pitch, Yet we had 52000 on in the recent past. She married me anyway!

Oh I do blame the Walker Trust (so-called), however in no way shape or form does that let Venkys off the hook.

"will become"----always in the distance.

Is that a Damian Hurst print?

Luton are hardly that!

Yeah---forgot about him!

Its several years since we signed Dack now. Similar with Rothwell. I'd be amazed if we could get players of that quality for £750000. I also said IF he was as good as Sparks says he is. That's it from me on this.

I'm not arguing any of that. You're missing my point which is that transfer fees from the lower divisions have risen considerably since we signed Dack. At his age, and if Whiteman's as good as Sparks says he is the £2M doesn't seem excessive. You can't pay £750000 anymore. And £2M is better than £7M if we're gambling.

Once again, 750k now is not the same as 750k when Dack was signed. Transfer fees have risen exponentially since then It doesn't help the discussion when posters don't compare apple with apples.
