Re: Vokes and Barnes to be sold
Barnes is a cult hero nowadays - we can't sell him Vokes I'd be sad to see go, he's better than Wood and don't feel he's past it. As for Wood, he needs to up his game.

Get to 40 points before you can even look to see if we are safe.
You could get lucky and stop up with 34/35, but I doubt it... and if you get 37 and stop up, you've escaped, big time!
