    On the subject of Peterborough and that ridiculous rumour, I have noticed Peterboroughs player of the year Archie Collins hasn't joined anyone yet. 

    Really feel that would be a smart pick up. Pretty good on the ball, can pick a pass, plenty of league 1 experience and looks like he could play a level above potentially.

    Not saying he would solve all our midfield problems, but think it would be a solid pick up on a free.


    Is he Better than what we currently have otherwise he’s just another squad player which we really don’t need. It’s two or three players signed and viewed as starters that’s needed.

    I agree. We currently have quality at the back. There may be a goalscror or two up front with the right service. But our midfield is mediocre to a man and we will be relegated if we have to rotate Coventry, Docherty, Knibbs, Carey and JRC.

    Cheers gents.

    I am of course referring to Stoke, Preston and Bristol City. Bang average sides that are pure gatekeeper teams in this league (respectfully, I wish we were them) and their spend on one player will probably match our budget this season and in some cases, last seasons. 

    Of course Boro don't fit that bill, but they're still in the same league as us, and they're spending big sums. Irrespective of if that was funded by player sales. 

    Bookies have us down as 2nd favourites to go down. On squad strength alone, I am struggling to identify 3 squads worse than ours with the exception of the newly promoted trio, two of which I expect to be almost on par with us before the season starts. 

    I just think it's going to be an extremely difficult season and 21st would be a hell of an achievement imo with our circumstances. (One of the lowest spending sides in the league with a lot of league 1 players still) 

    Joint third favs to go down. It goes Lincoln, Bolton and then us and Cardiff equal (Bet365).
    They had us down to be relegated by Xmas last season look what happened not in the bottom 3 at all ….think Pompey and Blackburn will be below us as well … think second season is tougher then the first season cause your more known now . 
    They absolutely did not. Unlike you to make something up. 
    Every “expert “ …. Betting companies , social media sites had us down for relegation before the season started last year .. don’t need to make it up everyone saw it for themselves 

    No they didn't. We were 4th favourites to go down via the bookies (Sheffield Wednesday, Oxford and Hull ahead of us) and most Championship pundits and analysts thought we had a chance to survive and none said we were a sure thing to go down. 

    It's very different this season, as there aren't any teams with transfer embargos like Hull, or point deductions. 

    This is a far more difficult season to stay up. 
    Lincoln have lost their inspirational manager.
    Cardiff have good youngsters, but aren't big spenders. They're only money is on their keeper, was on loan with them last season
    Bolton were a mediocre side, who scraped up via the playoffs
    Blackburn still have an awful owner. 
    Pompey will still be bottom 3rd of the table
    West Brom and QPR won't be much better than they were last season etc

    You were saying.

    If this is true it shows how deeply in trouble we might be trying to get a quality midfielder(s). Cardiff are joint favourites with us to go down remember

    Might be asking the wrong person that to be fair, as I think Alan Curbishley could come in to the team today and be a better midfielder than Docherty, and I think Coventry has been underwhelming at Champ level. 

    Can't say I have watched him enough to have a view like I could Doc and Cov. Statistically he is a better player than them both at league 1 level. He's had a few Championship clubs interested for this season and last season. 

    I personally think he improves us and it's a low risk signing. Could make the step up, but if we go down, would be a solid player to have under contract

    Obviously you hope theres no truth to the rumours of Ramsey, but if he isnt to sign a new deal then unfortunately you have to sell him this window and take good money for him.

    At least with Ramsay we are reasonably well covered at RCB (if we are still playing a 3), with Sichenje signing, Gough coming through and even Burke for the 15 games of the season he’s available

    Really not bothered. We paid 4.75 Million for Jason Euell in 2001 you have to remember. That almost matches that.

    A striker might be on the list, I’ve heard Kelman dislocated his shoulder again in training, it might require surgery! 
    Again? Unlucky for him as he done the same thing in the game on Saturday.
    Yep, was apparently cleared to join training and it popped out again!  Now having a scan, you couldn’t make it up! 
    Well you could. If his shoulder popped out in the match he won't be back training, even if it was popped back in straight away. Happened to me and I couldn't move my arm for weeks.
    Depends on the severity of it I suppose. The person who told me has no reason to lie, they said training was delayed for a few hours while he was getting treatment! I guess we will see.
