    If Lund is so good why did a struggling championship side let him go? Hes decent no disagreement but look at Rotherham they showed ambition at took Matt Palmer from said club. Yes for a fee but you would not get him as a cast off.

    I didn't say the squad wasn't "good" enough, as in ability, I said it wasn't deep enough, as in numbers/cover.


    Sorry Hudds, but again, without some sort of evidence to back up your statement, it's just your interpretation. Did McCall need the money? Are you aware of the interference Parkinson is having to deal with from big Ken at Bolton? If the money is right, you put up and shutn up. Something McCall wasn't prepared to do.

    But those players you listed are all development squad players? So Stuart wouldn't necessarily have known about them.

    One game in Blackpool. Hope all your performances in Blackpool have been good!!!!! The team were shot to pieces by then. If Grayson was so shit hot he would have seen what all of us can see. 2 left sided centre half’s doesn’t work, put a right footer in there .

    Loans are something we are going to have to look forward to next season with income way down it has to be the way to go.
    Change of style was one of the reasons given for Lunds release. At Rochdale he scored plenty of goals something we don’t get from our attacking midfielder. I would like to see him here next year

    He is. He wasn't signed as a first team starter. He's ended up playing because Poleon & McCartan have been awful.

    ? you lost me,

    You said ... quote

    "Something McCall wasn't prepared to do."

    well he was prepared, as he did not walk!

    So are you just making things up to suit the agenda?

    Urban soldier, you are the one making things up to suit your agenda. You are spouting stuff you know nothing about, it's just hearsay. McCall stood his ground when the board wanted to sack him a year earlier, remember? The poor run, ( IMO due to circumstances out of his control) together with the boards insistance that he couldn't handle the "big games" gave them the opportunity to sack him. At the same time, they also had the opportunity to BACK him but they decided not to. Again, IMO, the fact that McCall wasn't prepared to tow the party line, resulted in his sacking.

    He was signed for the first team squad and given squad number on signing.

    Here is the club announcement. No mention of being a Development squad player.

    BTW I thought the same until I read this article

    Ok, now we’re getting somewhere. This makes the first half of this season far more impressive . Grayson is old school and will not get us promoted, I don’t have the answer but I don’t want to wail away from VP every other Saturday thinking what a shite game that was. I want to see players with the ball, moving it and players moving. I don’t want a long ball and hoping for the second ball. I want entertainment, is that a problem
