Can’t understand why Ramsey isn’t involved with Jamaica. I heard they weren’t interested when he was at Harrogate but his profile raised when he joined us. But still he’s not involved
as for Campbell was told there are offers on the table that cannot be ignored any more. If we don’t go up he’ll leave sadly
I knew TC was eligible for Jamaica as I think it was the SLP who mentioned it. Didn’t realise Ramsay was, where did you see that?
If TC goes that has to be for several million? I would hope we’re not going back to the RD days of selling a good young player for a million or two.
The team who were chasing hardest is NOT somewhere I would suggest to TC if i were his agent.
I hope TC stays here, he'll be allowed to develop and get game time as he still has his quiet games. Elsewhere won't have as much patience and in all likelihood probably won't play as much. But money talks

This is partly what makes Sunday such an important must-win game. If we lose and Campbell goes along with Small then we pretty much have a re-build on our hands before any of our other best players also potentially get lured away. The way we've been winning games then stops right there and we can't just go again with the same squad. Potentially then another 2 years for another crack at The Championship and that's also if Nathan isn't lured away either taking us right back to square one.
How much realistically would TC even sell for? Far from the finished product and still has a lot to learn
TC is more valuable than Leaburn imo. Very few injuries helps but although he has a lot to learn, he has shown that he can do that. He can play 4 positions (to different degrees of comfort) and showed his dedication over the summer. If things continue to click like the last 6 months and he can keep improving then his ceiling is massive
The fact that the supporters heavily voted for TC as their player of the year (finished as runner-up), and that he won the Valley Gold Young Player of the Year, illustrates just how much the fans think of him and his contribution.
It will be fantastic to see the aggressive, strong, zippy, creative and clinical version of him in the final. Even if for one last time. Come on TC.

No chance Miles will be leaving nobody would be interested with his injury record he needs to prove fitness I think
TC is massively improved this year but if we get several million for him it will still be a decent result considering a big portion of fans were happy to see him walk on a free last summer.
I am slightly concerned that with all the hype the enormity of the occasion may get to him. We shall see
I do wonder about his capability in big games. He's going to go through patches of form like any winger but his body language in the pressure games hasn't been great and it feels like one error knocks him back. Hopefully that's not the case on Sunday, he makes a bright start and is full of confidence

Disagree,
Teams man mark him and often double up on him but he keeps working and he's not afraid of a physical battle. He wins a lot of free kicks although not as many as he deserves as refs don't see the constant shirt pulling.Covered_End_Lad said:

That many fans couldn't see his ability and potential, and a few still can't, shouldn't be a factor. Other clubs can see what he offers and are willing to pay well for it.
Our best 11 and we will get the best out of TC on Sunday. Theres a little bit more width and a bit more length to the Wembley pitch. Whoever is marking him will need to be rapid if the ball is knocked over the top.

Plus VAR should catch any so called dirty tactics to try and stop him

I'd much rather we kept him but money talks.
There's no coincidence, that as soon as small came on Wycombe away and they couldn't double up on TC anymore... we instantly improved.

A little, sure, but VAR doesn't do free kicks unless a penalty or red card does it, so shirt pulls and niggles outside the box will continue the same.

I think it's fair. I never said he avoids a physical battle or doesn't try but his performances in the bigger games have been lacking. He was very quiet against Wrexham, he was pocketed both Playoff games by Grimmer, when he did get on the ball against Wycombe at The Valley he fell over a lot which I think had a lot to do with nerves, he didn't offer a huge amount against Wycombe in the league 4-0 despite our overall dominance and I think he's looked visibly affected in the higher pressure games. He's only 21 and I think we overplay to him as well, sometimes it feels like every ball goes to him when we could be using Small and creating breathing space for TC. Hopefully on Sunday and he'll show he's the man for the big occasion but recently he's looked like he's finding it tough
I agree, I don’t think he’s hiding or not trying, but I wouldn’t claim he’s a big game player. I think it’s partly confidence and nerves, areas he’s made huge progress in e.g. by showing his ability to score goals more often than in the past, and as NJ says he does in training.
I think it’s also fair that these games are more nervy cautious games with even more physical and aggressive defending than usual. While it’s on him to deal with that, he also doesn’t receive the ball as often or in good areas as he does in other games. The team need to find ways to create space and get TC and Small more involved in big games. A few more opportunities to run at defenders could be the difference in finding that chance we need to score.
He simply needs to start trusting in himself more.
I agree, I don't think he's yet quite clocked how much defenders shit themselves when he runs directly at them. He sometimes checks back when he can just keep going and make the defender do something. Someday he's gonna be winning a lot of pens.

He would be better served by having higher quality passing from the midfield . Having Docherty (bless him) as his chief supply line doesn’t help. TC is a typical winger at this level - very much in and out . He’d be already playing higher if he had consistent end product and played well every week .

Although he didn't get much joy out of Grimmer he got a terrific reception from the fans when he got subbed off, and he seemed to appreciate it. Maybe this will give him motivation on Sunday.

awful and uninterested last 4/6 weeks believing the hype around him .. he owes us that.
