    Well at least whoever the next manager won't have to worry about Fleetwood next season.

    Joke opponent of a joke professional.

    No of course not Rod, but similarly, what was the significance of us taking points off them, they still went up!!
    We’ve also beaten Wigan and Shrews this season but they’re likely to go up we’re not

    It's a good game Blackburn just leveled and both sides going for the win.

    One game at a time, that's all we can do, if we do win (which won't be easy) then onto Tuesday night and MK Dons.

    Bradley Dack gets another 2 tonight he's run the game for Blackburn, money well spent.

    Exactly bronco. 750k and they'll get 10 times that when they sell him.

    This is where Edins plan is so flawed, 750k on Dack, 400k on Marriott or the best part of 400k on Poleon, McCarten and Reeves? I know which I'd have

    Isn't it rumoured that Dack is on over £11k a week?

    Come on Dave
    You and I are far too long in the tooth to think that :D
    A good win against Pompey who were under par on the night is not going to get us into the play offs
    Still a long hard interesting summer to go but I admire your optimism

    Always the optimist mate, yes very unlikely but as I posted let's beat Rochdale (which is no gimmie) then onto MK Dons, it will be interesting to come on here at 10pm Tuesday night if we have collected 6 points from the two games.

    I agree, if we had £400,000 to spend we should be getting more for our money than those three. I'd only take Reeves and Shay if they were free, to be honest. Dom, he'd have to be a very low wage to take on a free transfer, but I probably would if he was cheap enough.

    Luckily we can release the majority of the dross brought in this season. McCarten and Reeves have shown (in small parts), potential to be half decent squad players so I wouldn’t rip up their contracts just yet. Blackburn still had championship players so adding Dack made sense. If we’d have brought him here, with the calibre if players in our side we’d probably still be in league 1 next season, with a player on a reputed £11k a week.

    And that's the difference. We could buy players for £750k but won't (and rightly so) pay £11k a week in wages.
