Hey Warfey, you got one of those motorised custom jobs, or are you just super beefy with rippling biceps to race about lol.


I'd have to agree with your post. Austin definitely tries blessim but he just hasn't got the pace now, time to hang up the boots methinks.


On Lowry - I really really really hope he stays with us. But, if there were any scouts watching his early season performances, then I fully expect there was a lot of interest in the lad.

i heard Derby have been in contact with Jamie L, and its something he would like to do

He has been a Derby fan all his life and was rumoured to have been on trial there when the injury happened.

after a serious knee injury he will have no irons in the fire,lowry will be offered a new contract by us and he will take it,he is a good player and we need him

Surely the question is 'does he need us?'. If, as rumoured, he was being watched by other clubs before his injury and one or more of them come in for him do you think he'll stay. If you were him would you sign a new contract for us or for, say, Derby? Like you, I hope he stays but I suspect he may well be off in the summer.

Well, If he does get a better offer and goes onwards and upwards (cant't blame him or expect any different) we'd be entitled to a fee as he will only be 23 come this summer.

I wouldn't be suprised to see him sign the new two year deal we have rumoured to have offered him and if he proves his fitness and form again, he'll be off next January.

Can't really see it, depends how much of an impression Clay has made in the reserves whether they give him a year.

Pressumably a very good one to be considered bench-worthy ahead of player like Hall, Harsley, Austin and Moncur.

[twistedspire]

Depends on the opinion shez has of those mentioned, jus cos he was selected above any of those mentioned means nothing really, most probably down to tactics and the options he gives the manager over those players.

Some1 like Moncur on a pay as u play basis may be on a high appearance fee and JS/the board deems it not worthwhile putting on the bench, but only use him if injuries dictate he starts.

Not for 1 minute suggesting that is a reason, jus stating that there are numerous factors to consider. The mere fact he's on the bench doesn't mean he's made a good enough impression to get a contract, it could jus mean the manager see's him as the best option at the minute

I felt sorry for Kev.last night he slipped badly and nearly gave away a penalty just before he was subbed. Vale played some good stuff down each wing at times, and I was glad to see Niven brought on to steady the ship.Well done Shez on your selection and tactics in difficult circumstances last night, we deserved and earned our win.
