Only watched brief highlights from yesterday but everything looks same from the Blackpool game never look like scoring Kaleta cutting inside which isn't my idea of a wide player. Don't hold much hope out in the January window if we're only going to get a loan forward in won't have been playing so be daja vu from the summer.

One of those games where you wonder why you actually watch the sport. Niggly, time-wasting, Ref giving random decisions. Keeper even went down twice!. One shot on goal each. Couldn't tell whether ours was over the line due to the camera behind the goal being at the far end of the High Street.
Ref ducked the penalty disicion probably because there was a lot of home fans. At least Dawson doesn't appear to have been blamed on here for the goal, but I suppose it's early doors yet.
Why is Footy mad making it harder and harder to view the site. Endless waiting for Robot checks. Massive, intrusive adverts, now a return to the 1990s format . At least it is on my device.
If you click on the figures it gives you a price for each position. Keeper, defence, midfield , attack...
We spend 780k on keepers wages. Since we only have 2 that's 15k per week on keepers. From the links figures , Would it be fair to say Dawson could be on 10k per week?
Our strikers are on 1.3 million per year. We have 6 strikers (2 on loan.). Even an even split between the 6 it's ?4200 each per week. Can't imagine Ayres and kayode being on much.
Defence is where the big money is spent.
2.6 million per year. I count 9 players who play there. Even split 9 ways is ?5500 per week.
Imo we have some very high earners in this club and I can imagine it being eaten up on.
Dawson
James
Rafferty
Raggett
Hugill
Maybe Kelly... All of whom don't have a sell on value.
Imo only 2 of those are worth keeping beyond this summer which could free up a couple of million in wages
MH needs to stop praising opposition before we play them saying they're in a false position and this and that. Why give em that boosting confidence we should be winning those last 2 matches just about everyone else has beaten them apart from us really poor.
I remember reading this article at the time and thinking it was just more smarmy words from our esteemed COO.
He was unlikely to say anything other than we have a competitive budget as that would be tantamount to heresy for criticising the chairman, something no-one on the board ever dares to do!
We may or may not have a competitive budget and, to be honest, I don't really know what one would look like anyway at this level.
One thing is for sure is that we rarely recruit proven players from a higher level to give us a realistic chance of a promotion push.
I think quite a few people were hoping the club might have done that in its centenary year.
