    It's a good policy to have if you recruit better. Don't lumber the club with players on 2 year plus contracts who are coming to the end of their career. One year should be enough for the player to work hard enough for another contract, or the club to find a suitable replacement.

    Yes. Does he need to fly to Dublin to do that? We have pens in Bradford.

    I’ve got to say if it’s true they only offered Smallwood 1 year, when they’ve just given Max Power 2 years, that’s a hell of a kick in the teeth for Smallwood and I wouldn’t sign it either

    Devils advocate - one is 3 years younger. I think and I hope he gets his 2 year deal.

    “Sparks is shit”
    “No he isn’t”
    “Yes he is”

    One of those dodgy twitter transfer accounts that only has a handful of followers is saying that we are after Sam Dalby after his Wrexham release.

    Blackpool are the one I believe from reports in the north west.

    Problems with addiction which are hopefully behind him. A drop down to league one could help him find his shooting boots.

    Well given his SPL spell and age, he could be decent but surely returns to Dundee.

    Wrexham wanted to keep.

    Pearson would be a solid signing colleague is Hudds fan and felt they should’ve kept hold of him, commanding presence chips in with goals and is a good leader, needs someone quicker along side him apparently gives 100% but was played at RB for some games definitely not his position

    Experience and qualities we need, fingers crossed it comes off

    They have “ been watching him for several seasons” whilst he’s been peddling around many non league sides . Good luck to the lad but he’s possibly going as far as he can with the move ? Time will tell ?

    I've watched the League 1 play off games and one thing stands out - to be even close to success at this level, you need forward players with pace and the ability to run at the opposition. We sorely lack that, and we need to sort it in the summer. A quality centre forward, and at least one, probably two players who pace and direct running ability with the ball. It's crucial.
