The Indian spinners will be licking their lips at the prospect of facing Sibley.

If Deeney came in would leave us with 3 strikers all the wrong side of 30 plus Wood at 29. You'd like to think we're looking at bringing the age of our squad down a bit instead.

jrgbfc

Big win but I don’t share the same hysteria as most, almost feel guilty for it. Didn’t want to mention it because I’d get shot down plus I’m happy that others are enjoying it. I feel the same tbh mate. Enjoyable yeah, but watching at home on TV just isn't the same. I'm only really bothering with ou...

Aye the money Chorley and Marine have earnt will be huge for them. Such a shame their fans missed out on it though!

jrgbfc

Pitch seemed to hold up well at Chorley! Was expecting it to be a bit of a quagmire after the weather this week.

jrgbfc

Great stuff, haven't listened to them properly in a while so having a Smiths night on Spotify with a couple of beers. So many great tracks.

Once a player gets into their final 12 months its only human that their mind will start to wander and they've got half an eye on their next move.
We need to get what we can for him this summer and make sure we replace him properly. I'm sure Dyche already has a few options in mind.

jrgbfc

I'd say 20 million for Maddison is a steal in today's market. What have they brought in by selling Maguire, Kante and Chilwell? The lad Justin was signed for peanuts from Luton as well and he's a regular now.

jrgbfc

Glen Little against Bristol Rovers always springs to mind. Defour's chip in the cup game as well.

jrgbfc

He'll be a bargain for someone this summer with his contract situation.

jrgbfc

Bit surprised Wood is playing again with his injury record.

jrgbfc

That year is the reason i don't get all the continued bitterness towards Coyle. There's a good chance the majority of us will never experience a season like that ever again.

jrgbfc

Can someone explain why City's goal wasn't given offside? How can Rodri not be interfering with play when he sets the goal up? Was miles offside.

jrgbfc

Looks like Tomori is going to AC Milan on loan with a view to permanent.

jrgbfc

Only time i went was in the awful season under Waddle. Pretty sure it was getting towards the end of September and we scored our first league goal that day. Ended up getting beat 3-1 and came off realising that all the excitement had been misplaced and that we were absolutely dreadful.

jrgbfc

Can India come and win in England this summer? Should be a great series. I'm not holding out much hope for us out there.

jrgbfc

Feel really sorry for those living in areas prone to flooding. As if things aren't bad enough at the moment without having to worry about your house getting flooded again.

jrgbfc

We can't rely on the back 5 to keep a clean sheet every week. Particularly with the Mee Tarky partnership likely to be broken up this summer.

jrgbfc

Perhaps we should be asking why only Sheffield United are in for him if he is so good. That would be my thought. Problem with that argument is generally if another Premier league club is interested in a player it rules us out. With Dyche unwilling to shop abroad i'd say Lingard is as good as we cou...

You'd like to think ALK had more important things to be getting on with.

jrgbfc

Liverpool really seem to struggle when teams sit deep against them.

jrgbfc

I'd be tempted to bring Cork back and move Brownhill out to the right again. Not convinced by JBG or Brady playing out there.

You will only see more quality in the middle with a 3, not 2.

For what its worth i think Brownhill would be suited to playing on the right of a middle 3. He's got the engine and he'd have a bit more freedom and time on the ball.

jrgbfc

India still hanging in there. Pressure on the Aussies to try and score quickly now and bowl India out again. Will be interesting to see which bowlers India can get fit for the England series.

jrgbfc

Brownhill is very hard working and industrious but not sure he's got the quality for this level. I realise it won't be easy but we desperately need a bit more quality in the middle of the park, rather than just graft.

Who would you take from this Sheff Utd team?

Sander Berge.

jrgbfc

I'm not certain, but I believe Burns isn't touring this winter, Sibley does seem to struggle against spin though, and it's been a question mark throughout his career, however he'll definitely be given a chance in the 2nd test, so it's up to him to prove the doubters wrong, and fight for his place, ...

jrgbfc

I think Burns and Crawley could be a better bet as openers out in India. Sibley just looks too big and cumbersome against spin.

jrgbfc

Surely England can't cock this up?

jrgbfc

Fulham are winless in 7 games since their victory at Leicester back in November, what on earth makes you think they have too much to go down based on that form, West Brom did well yesterday, but 2 of their goals were penalties, yes we need to improve our goal tally, but let's not make these teams o...

jrgbfc

Disingeuous again our Sean, this time about missing the January sales since he has been with us. I recall Barnes, Lennon, Brady Brownhill signing as well as Keane's loan becoming permanent plus Crouchy and there may be others signed at this time of year I have missed. Pretty sure we signed Westwood...

jrgbfc

There's more chance of us all being back on the Turf next month than there is of Dyche switching to a flexible 4-2-3-1 formation.

jrgbfc

Not sure i'd agree with that. If we lose the TV money we're screwed, given the amount of debt we appear to have taken on.

jrgbfc

If we do manage to sign anyone this month it would probably be September before we saw them anyway.

jrgbfc

Didn’t notice it today but thought that we looked like a pub team emerging from the tunnel before the MK Dons game. Smile, yes but IMO we should look like a professional outfit at all times. A shake up is obviously needed and the manager needs to reinforce his own high standards. “Burnley won’t be ...

I must say West Ham would be a terrible move for Tarkowski, shite team they are. At least you would understand him wanting to join a Leicester but throwing his toys out of the pram to join West Ham? Moyes looks like he's building a decent team there to me. Definitely a better option for Tarks than ...

What did he do?

Dragged their defenders around a bit, created space for others. Dawson and Ogbonna could have played with a deckchair and cigar while Barnes and Wood were on.

It will be interesting see if Sean accepts a new contract offer. That will obviously give us an indication of where his motivation lies.

Would be sensible for both sides to give it a few months and see how things go. They might have completely different ideas on how to move us forward.

Watching it on delay in the morning at 9am with a breakfast mate- all avoiding the scores!

Take it easy on the beers pal! Don't want a repeat of the infamous West Ham bus trip

jrgbfc

Thought we were on BT today for some reason. Already used my free trial so looks like it will have to be Leeds v Brighton. Can't be bothered messing around with streams.

jrgbfc

Shows Indias strength in depth i suppose that they've managed to stay competitive. England may get lucky and be facing a second string bowling attack out in India next month, which would make life a bit easier.

jrgbfc

Does anyone know much about Knight? Is he a holding midfielder, more attacking?

jrgbfc

India barely able to get a team out now. Got 5 or 6 of their first choice side missing, including Bumrah and Ashwin.

jrgbfc

Problem is if he goes he'll more than likely be replaced by another big lump, Troy Deeney anyone?

jrgbfc

With the new owners coming in i'm guessing all contract extensions will be up in the air at the moment. I'd say Brady is worth keeping as a squad player.

jrgbfc

I fancy Fulham to stay up now. Think Brighton are in big trouble, they just don't look capable of winning games.

jrgbfc

Be interesting to see Vydra's goal return if he played as often as Wood or Barnes. Its not easy being thrown on for 10 minutes when you're desparetely chasing a game.

jrgbfc

Think Bruce is lucky games are behind closed doors this season or he'd be getting absolute pelters from the Geordies.

jrgbfc

Scott Arfield had been released by a bottom half Championship side when we signed him. Likewise Westwood was regarded as a bit of a joke by a lot of Villa fans. I wouldn't be upset with signing Kenny at all. At 23 he's a good age as well.

jrgbfc

So to summarise if things go well ALK can make a hell of a lot of money from the club without putting much in themselves or taking any real risks?
But if things go wrong it won't affect them too much as its the club thats been saddled with debt?
