  1. Wilks might do a job. So might Smith when we see him. Would it be wrong to find another u23/21 player from the Prem? Try and get them on loan. Despite the uproar on Twitter I don't think we're far off a balanced squad. I know our loans have been hit and miss but a Brad Young style of player. Would probably suit us just as well as folking out for another high earner?

  2. What's happened to Iorfa?! Weren't we turning down £5millon bids for him. Yeah injuries aside he showed one moment of getting forward but 3 instances of rubbish. When we went down to 10..(yes it probably was a red), we should have packed the midfield. Maybe even put Iorfa there instead if Moore was intent on bringing him on. Some may say that it's a long season but we should have done better. Until we get basics right at the back it's just obvious what will happen. I woke up at 3am to get the kettle on and stupidly get excited but it's like Midsummer Murders... You know exactly what's going to happen. Peterborough looked alright but it was very easy for them in the end. 

    Moving forward, we be need to be more direct. Bakinson wasn't at the races either. I thought Paterson put a shift, but maybe Palmer as captain says it all. 

  3. Deffo 5-2-1-1. I can understand Byers reaction. Smith was a bit of a dick about it. Shame as we were growing into the game more.

    I think we are best when Johnson is blazing forward and putting balls across. People are easy to slag Paterson off but he's done well so far both attacking and tracking back. Let's hope the ref tries and evens things up. 

  4. I remember walking down Hawshaw Lane in Hoyland when he rode past me on his push iron. It took a few seconds to click on that it was him.. I turned back and shouted 'Hey Fernando' he did a semi turn but rode on...

  5. Prutton v Rochdale(?) and McGugan v Preston. Two goals that are stuck in my mind. The first games at Hillsborough after being abroad. I just searched for him on YouTube and there's some cracking goals. I found the one against Preston and remembered Alex Lopez now I suddenly feel a bit sad.

    Is there much in the DMZ?

    Sorry for the late reply. Not really, but it is cool to look in to North Korea. A few years ago I went to the JSA/ Panmunjom the border with the meeting room which is divided in half. That was really interesting. We then got taken to a gift store and I bought some North Korean acorn whiskey. I tried it once and it got put to the back of the cupboard.

    I've never tried those heated cupboard bath things. My mother in law has one...I don't think I'd fit in it! Been to plenty of jimjilbangs (saunas) though.

  7. While it's fun to see new kits, I've been on twitter this afternoon and the amount of fans stressing over our new kit release is beyond my comprehension. I'm 35, although I've had a few shirts as presents, which I appreciate, I don't really wear them that often. Granted I live abroad and haven't been to a game in a few years, but even then I can't really remember wearing a football shirt to a game other than at Wembley. If I had kids maybe it would be different? 

    Honest question to folks on here, do you care that much about kit releases?

    We've apparently turned down 2 loan bids for Cam Dawson from the Scottish Premiership.

    He's 26 now?! ...that makes me feel even older. The point being. What's the point? He's either good enough or not good enough. Sadly I feel he isn't. I would have loved him to kick on and reach his potential but I think his confidence got kicked out of him by some managers thinking he could play the Victor Valdez role. I'd like him to have another chance in league one, but at this stage, both the club and Dawson should be deciding on the best for both parties. Hope I'm wrong and if he stays he can give Stockdale worries about the number 1 slot. To be frank, I can't see it.
