    I wish him well because anyone signing in this window has just got to make an impact AND more than anything..make a difference. We have a great opportunity to clinch promotion this season but we have to sort out our weaknesses.

    A 3 year contract!! Someone thought he was good enough. Plus don’t we do due diligence on attitude as well? All of this speculation on a lad who is our second best goal scorer on whether he will play for us due to some mythical fall out with Hughes. If we have given a 3 year contract to a lad who has hardly played, what does that say about our recruitment?

    Was unfair to start him, He looked totally out of his depth, The blame must go to Hughes who looks poorer and poorer with his management, We look to be doing no more than treading water under him

    I don't know what arrangement we have with Burnley over his loan but I'm sorry, I think we should terminate it if we can. Let one of our own players have the shirt.

    He had a shocker for sure. Missed an early sitter and just went from bad to worse. Confidence shot to pieces so really hope MH sees sense and pulls him out for Tues

    Our attacking situation is really comical

    Cook cant stop scoring but struggles with service due to the system we play

    Oliver, a renowned target man, will come on an suddenly we'l stop crossing the ball into the box

    Chapman scuffs every shot he takes

    Costelloe can't hit a barn door with a bazooka

    Eisa sends 9 shots out of 10 into row Z

    Derbyshire will score a worldie an then be on the injury table for 5 weeks

    Young can only shoot an thats it but gets loaned out

    An Harratt preffers to chase rabbits than through balls

    He's a confidence player. Let's encourage him when he's on the pitch and not give the lad stick. However, I'd prefer to see him come on for the last 10 minutes to drag their defenders about but not as a starter

    Burnley supporting friend said he’s good, but has injury problems which is why he’s going to league 2 instead of higher up. Also needs to work on end product.

    I agree. Only thing about Young is the fans havent written him off, Hughes has. He's the second top scorer while still at the club and hasn't played for ages. Hughes words were that 'he'd plateaued' and wasn't impressing in training. Personally I think he needs a change as I can't see Hughes changing his opinion of him.

    Hughes has already written Young off. If he hasn’t he’s got a very strange way of showing it!

    I guess we're all hoping for a miracle man to lead us hand in hand back to playing with the big boys, something now just a memory, rather than another gloomy sunday after the sweet dreams promised by the mouth almighty led instead to tears before bedtime and indoor fireworks and realising the home truth that looking into a deep dark truthful mirror leads to the uncomplicated conclusion that my readers are just about glad that it's time to end this sentence as I've run out of Costello records to plunder. Blame it on Cain.

    Probably chose us because he thinks he has more chance of getting game time with us.

    We do, but maybe he knows something we don't - yet.

    And remains our second joint top goal scorer, even though he hasn't played since October.

    I think we're ok at the tip. Chapman definitely needs to up his output but we've got Walker, Eisa, Pereria and even the new lad from West Ham who can play there. It's the two behind who I think we need to upgrade.

    If we'd have said at the start of the season that our central midfield pairing would be Gillead and Sutton we'd have been predicting a season of mediocrity at best.
