Bongo Terry's contract had a year extension option IF we'd gone up, Benteke isn't the player he was and his wage demands would be ridiculous, as for Barry, midfield is not our problem; he has the rest of the season then will probably hang up his boots.

I read on Twitter today that O'Hare was booed when subbed after 40mins, that is an absolute disgrace from some SUPPORTers. Other comments of no better than Bruce, slating Tammy due to the reported move - a player who has bagged 16 goals in 20 games and is on loan. His club calls the shots, not the player and it's a move up to the next level.

Smith and non loanees are the future of this club, a blend of youth & experience and hopefully a sound infrastructure unlike what has gone before in recent years. By all means boo the whole team off after a performance like that, but FFS don't destroy the confidence of any player, especially the fledgelings.

Rant over - onwards & hopefully upwards.
