No appointment yet suggests Patel is haggling over the wage. Once huge wage earners like Dike and Wallace are off the books then thank the lord. I would also take any reasonable offers for Maja and Grant in this window.

Let?s just hope Morrison starts with a strong team tomorrow but balanced with great youngsters like Whitwell and Bostock not garbage like Junior FFS
Nothing substantiated of course, but reports in the press are saying that terms have been agreed so whatever the delay in an appointment, I'm not sure how much of it is down to haggling over salary Al. If it is Ramsay, then I've likely got the same concerns as yourself and many others (primarily his lack lack of proven management experience in the Championship or comparable league) but can only hope that they have got this one right and he proves us wrong. At least, he has more actual management experience than Mason had when we appointed him.

Unsure about Morrison's selection for the cup game tbh. He has said all the right things so far and talked of the desire to win the game as well as this being a chance for others who have not had too many opportunities under Mason to play including some of our younger players. We will see.

Given, our injury list, the lack of depth in the squad and the urgent need to concentrate on pulling ourselves back up the league table I'm not sure how "strong" the team selection will be -but I do at least expect a desire to win and for certain players to try and impress. I think we will see many of our best XI rested or playing bit parts only with Bostock, Whitwell and maybe some of our other youngsters given their chance alongside the likes of Dike given a start.
