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

    Not necessarily, he just doesn't think he's good enough to get into the team at this moment (which he patently isn't)... doesn't mean to say he doesn't feel he can make it in a year or two if he applies himself in the right way

    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.

    So the lad had interest from a championship and a league 1 club, but chose us.
    I suppose it could have been a distance thing, nearer to home. I am not buying the T and A bluff that everyone at Burnley are ex Hughes players, so are doing us a favour.
    Anyhow good luck lad, give your all and city fans will adore you, more Wright than Pereira please

    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?

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

    Could be, but we do have a lot of options in the forward positions.

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

    And yet he was good enough to get in a team who got promoted last season.

    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.

    Aye, the wings that we don't use in the current shape.

    Genius.

    Yep, very frustrated with the current situation. With the budget we've clearly been given I just think we should be doing much, much better and I'm dreading having to spend yet another season in this god awful division.

    I think were destined for the playoffs, which is frustrating in itself

    We really need that third spot, but whenever we get anywhere near the boys burst into nose bleeds and faint at the thought of achieving something

    But who knows, there's a long way to go

    We might not even make the playoffs at all, or we might still win the league. But I'm going for fifth

    Was he? Thought he spent the vast majority of it on the bench

    Yes I agree. However, we have to develop the lad or he will go backwards. It destroys their confidence not playing. So I am glad he will get game time at Barrow but if he does well we will have given Barrow a rival a leg up. It depends how the season goes from here on in.
