So as at today, how many senior players will we still have under contract beyond the end of the 2025/26 season? Question for Mark Brfc I guess who's our resident expert on the players' contracts.

Hang on, you spent all of January maintaining it didnt matter when players came in as long as we got the "right" ones by the end. You then took me to task for complaining about the activity towards the end of the window and tried to make out we'd had a decent window immediately after it finished. You're flip flopping more often than chaddy!

Im completely taken aback by that post and not in a good way.

Id be absolutely delighted with Dyche. No way the Club would be that ambitious.

Just heard an interviee on Talksport where he said "There was a discussion to be had" regarding the Derby approach. Not the sort of thing youd say if you had any thoughts of staying. My take on it is he's made his mind up and is effectively gone but for PR purposes he has made out that the ball is in the Club's Court re the giving of assurances etc because he knows it will never happen. Dont think he's done anything to be ashamed of. He clearly feels he wasnt backed in January. Looking ahead there's also the longer term issue of non renewal of players' contracts.

Shit.

Bit of an insult to Stan and Ollie......

Dennis is only on loan. Kargbo Id be reserving judgment on imo.

The well is practically bone dry. Given the lack of talent and the contract situations who (apart from Carter) could we possibly sell for a worthwhile sum?

Nailed it. Nothing more to be said on it imo although I know many disagree.

Far more importantly after 14 years plus of general decline we as fans desperately need a bit of success on the pitch. Wherever it comes from, be it League or Cup.

The heat needs turning up on both him and Pasha massive fashion should Eustace depart for Derby.

I know, I was speaking rhetorically I guess.

Unsurprising, that would actually have been a relatively good appointment. If Eustace does leave, I like the idea of Warnock until the end of the season. He'd have them bang up for it. Sincerely hope Eustace stays though. You'd hope Balaji and Madame would have been on the blower to Waghail demanding to know what in the actual fuck is going on.

Cant believe anyone downvoted the comment about Pears - until I checked who it was!

Not for the first time recently, didnt like our substitutions at all today. I thought we were building up a bit of a head of steam around the 56th or 57th minute and were having a decent spell. Cantwell was putting more effort in than in the first half and ACD was looking very dangerous. However Eustace pulled them both off in what looked a predetermined move not based on how the match was actually going and with it went all momentum. Did Woodrow ever actually come on? The second two substitutions weakened us still further and the rest of the game after that was a procession. I dont mind Dolan but he looked well out of his depth against Premier League opponents. Overall it was a real eye opener how much bigger, stronger and quicker than us they looked. Physically it was men against boys or older men. Very disappointing but pales into insignificance next to the managerial situation.

Correct. He was looking for it and manufactured the contact. Was two thirds of the way down before the "contact" occurred. Very poor offside decision though, it never felt offside even to the naked eye.

(Tin hat on) I think Kargbo looks flashy and has a bit of pace but will prove to be a player who gets himself into lots of promising situations but who has no end product. Still miles better than Hedges though. Quite like the look of Dennis. He'll just about be getting up to full fitness by the time he goes back to Forest. Has Eustace's Uber to Derby arrived yet?

All came from Cantwell losing the ball. He's an absolute liability. Wahlsted Mk 2 didnt help either. Edit: Now it's 2. Game over.

Clear dive. Another one on an unnecessary yellow. Generally playing well though.

Bad decision. Unfortunately we're not Man Ure at home.

Stupid from Buckley. Completely unnecessary. Put himself under all sorts of pressure.

Toth's a disaster waiting to happen. Where do we manage to get them from?

If there's a silver lining to this particular cloud, there's no way Waghail would fork out for Rooney's wages.

Disagree completely on Lambert. Started off well for the first 5 games then lost the players and it was dire stuff from thereon in. It was only a couple of wins in the last two games of the season which were dead rubbers after he announced he was leaving that made his record look slightly more respectable than it really was. Also knew exactly what he was doing, was only in it for himself as evidenced by him putting in the break clause. He wasnt wrong with some of the things he said in the Press about the ambition of the owners of course but notwithstanding that he was quite happy to come in and take their money and get himself back on the job ladder for a limited period.
