I'm currently on holiday and reading the latest "The secret footballer what goes on tour" book and Its made me realise you can blinded in your own vision of the team you support and the reality that happens on and off the pitch... I remember watching Chris lines heading goals in now and then off corners as he's not the shortest player on our team and then now as he's our senior player he takes the corners( in my opinion they seem to high and normally too far at the back of the 18 yard box) In the book tsf explains that as you get older you realise you need to get on everything due to the assist bonuses! Does make me wonder if that's the case..as he probably thinks he has more chance of a bonus on an assist than a goal]And also I can imagine Luke James owed billy a pint after giving him the penalty he missed as that could have been £500 in Billy's backpocket for scoring it. Great book and fantastic insight to footballers life's

What a disaster. Get the bets in early lads, we're nailed on for relegation. Predictable answer from the people who moan right at the end... "It's only been a few weeks" " oh we're gonna be relegated" "Man City haven't bought anyone either"... You were the same lot saying" taylor won't go to city it's a bullshit" There's a pattern every season that gasheads have gone through and Darrel keeps saying let's get rid of rag ass(bag) rovers! The only way to do that is show ambition and buy quality players that spur the team on..and the fans to spend more money and get the funds flowing... If you keep tabs on all the movement your see that everyday most clubs and it seems especially the teams that finished below us in the league are improving and being ambitious...us waiting on a non league standard centre forward who will be getting paid more money by us for his services (Harrison) to sign, which is all we have at the moment isn't great...no one has said that's it we're relegated all I was asking for is to hear we're in talks with a good player or likely to sign but there's nothing and all you hear is everyone else getting involved.. I still have faith but just hope we don't end up with another Luke James...

It seems to be very quiet as usual for us, Darrel knows his budget now so fingers crossed we see players coming in rather than getting what's left on the shelf!! Coventry seem to be buying a whole new squad considering pleading poverty...decent players too, they seem to have a good recruitment team....come on dc and wael give us something to get excited about so we can stop worrying billy bob going!!!! Remind me how Coventry did in league one last season. They obviously had a good recruitment team! You might have noticed they sacked their manager and his team and brought in new people? Hence their buying established players and young players to feed in!

#Millwall are in advanced talks with Colombian winger Cristian Montaño. Two and a half year deal could be penned on a free transfer soon

It will be very interesting to see how billy gets on next season as all the clubs now know about him and his strengths and how important he can be for us... I think he can go again and have another blinder and hopefully from the off this time

I would have rather kept monty rather than Moore in my eyes but i know it's just how the contracts have ended as I'm sure Moore would be on the list to leave as well...monty is such a frustrating one as he has bags of potential to be a great player where Moore plays in a day dream with no real idea of a game plan...we need 2 more left sides players...

But what if DC knows Harrison has no intention of signing his new contract would you be happy to start with a complete new front line next season? DC talks about signing 3 new CF's, not 3 new strikers, which makes you wonder if Harrison is leaving but can't just leave on a free now he's been offered a new contract, if he does stay then him and Gaffers are both decent back up strikers. Monty & Moore have shown this season they aren't consistent enough and so one had to go, unfortunately for Monty his contract was up this summer. You can guarantee Harrison to my disappointment will be announced as signed soon, I know he's going on holiday with a member of staff Too so that wouldn't happen if he was going elsewhere...waste of our time and money in my opinion and I would love to be proven wrong but it's time to have a change upfront and his hold up play and intelligence is shocking...we need to poachers and 2 hold up guys that chip in with 10-15 goals a year.. I think Rory will be that this season and we just need another fox in the box and sorted...get what you can from some desperate deluded club for Ellis and move on...

I know it's the next step and have dual feelings of the mem, If we move into an all seater fish bowl all the nostalgia and fortress we've built has gone and many teams seem to struggle when they get their new stadium but it's a must if we want to be a championship team...it will be interesting to see how long burton stay in their with a smaller ground than us...

Great news...the only striker we have with a great football brain and has a lot more potential, when he's not playing no one holds the ball up to build an attack... Just need Lumley signed/sweeney on loan again and a poacher next to Rory and keep hold of bodin..not asking much are we???

Posh have signed Danny Lloyd to-day on a free from Stockport.29 goals and 19 assists this season.Three year deal.Astute signing.Pushes Luke James further down the pecking order. Peterborough have put Luke James straight on the transfer list and cutting their loses and so should we...

If people are true fans they would not defraud the club of their share of the fee if you you are just a supporter then anything goes to line your pocket at the cost to the club they "support"in name only There will always be true hardcore fans but some of the people will decide sod it pizza and beers in front of the tele than go all the way to fleetwood and be out of pocket a wedge especially if we aren't on a good run. And it's not software that allows you to change IP address on Apple devices all you have to do is set up an American Apple account and that's it! Be interesting to see if it's beneficial which I'm sure it will be... Personally I think too much exposure to football on tv has taken the magic away abit and but anything to bump our revenue up as long as it doesn't back fire on us just to make some broadcasting firm and the efl a sh** load of money

22 goals this season, named in PFA League 2 team of season, would probably cost 500k+. Can't see it myself. More like 50- 100 k not 500 K !!? Can't see he'll be 50-100k if we paid 100k for joe partington? Definitely thinking he would cost 250,000 to 500,000

Apparently Ipswich offering a player in return...we won't win that signing then...can't see us getting 10 players in!!! Maybe on loan and can't see us challenging league one or championship clubs to sign them
