I try to look ahead and see what's on the horizon. We are doing very well, but you've got to see what could happen if we lose two or three of them, they are going to take a lot of replacing, they are virtually the core of the team.

Not much tends to happen in January. I can imagine that if a Premiership club like Brighton wanted Cashin that a condition of sale would be that he would be loaned back for this season, and maybe next season too if we were to get promoted. For other players where there might be Championship clubs interested, why move now rather than waiting to see how the land lies in the summer?

Agree with Vidal. Cashing might go, but cone back on loan. He's not ready for Premier yet but I think he'll want to finish this season with us at least.
The rest might interest lower half championship teams but why would you swap a promotion campaign with us for a relegation fight with Brum or Huddersfield?

Agreed. Its obvious from the scenes during & after the game that there's a terrific spirit developing amongst the management & players, and even the fringe players like Elder look like theyve bought into it.
As already pointed out, why miss out on that kind of atmosphere, full grounds and possible promotion at this stage of the season to sit on someones bench ?
A possible fly in the ointment might be the loss of Nyambe during January. I thought he was excellent last night, particularly in the first half

Fortunately Namibia are unlikely to progress far I imagine …

Money talks, if player wants to leave for big bucks to either championship, or even even Premier League team he will go, we could hang to him to get an agreed tribunal settlement based on the length of time he has been in the Academy.

This has always been the case, but little tends to happen in January. If there are big bucks on offer now, they will also be on offer in the summer, or even bigger bucks if the player continues to do well and more clubs become interested.

15 to 1 offered when Derby were 2-0.
Nice little return.


Fantastic result last night! The fact our Academy players scored the goals made it even sweeter. A massive congratulations to Thomo , returning from injury and making that sort of impact. Hopefully there's several more of those type of performances from our subs over the coure of the season.

Why would anyone want to leave a promotion campaign and the current vibe in the dressing room for anything other than another promotion campaign in the Championship? Cashin is our prized asset and if we can extend his contract (as suggested)and hold on to him then that's ideal. Bird and Sibley are the other two most likely departures in Jan with their contracts running out so time will tell.

Players gave absolutely everything yesterday. Hopefully we have enough in the tank on Monday against Posh.
