I would take twine if we could get for £2m and £20k pw but suspect it would be a lot more than that. Burnley staying up could help tbf

I was really impressed with Delano burgzorg for Huddersfield last week-looks exactly the type of player we need who can hold it up and has pace. Only 7 goals but is his first season in a new league and in a struggling team so could get to 15 if we signed him imo.

If we continue at this rate of improvement I fancy top 6 at least next season. Really excited to see what Liam can achieve with a pre season and a striker!

Just feels an arbitrary number to me, why not quote top 11

Agree. do we have any lingering concerns over fitness or has that been put to bed?

Why?

Who cares?

What a fantastic performance-front foot, aggressive and composed. The sort of football Brian and Jon promised when they signed Liam. really wish we sacked him after those couple of losses

I know Blackburn were poor but for me it showed what we've been missing without twine-someone that can handle the ball between the lines and actually unlock defences. Not sure bird is that type (think he's more of a sitter/james replacement) so along with the striker getting twine or similar is crucial to our chances next season

Would you still have sacked him in hindsight? I'm aware of the nuance and I'm also acutely aware of context when appraising performance-hence why i disagreed with the bedwetters

With respect we wouldn't be able to enjoy it if a lot of people on here had their way!

Will the bed wetters who called for Mannings head after a couple of poor performances/defeats now be calling for his contract to be extended??

How's that cumulative net XG LOOKING @Davefevs ?

This thread has aged terribly

But do you think manning would have signed off on signing players that can't handle the ball? Tanner, mccrorrie and knight for example feel very much like Pearson signings! Also the way we want to play has changed from counter attacking to sustained attacks with pretty patterns-so what you are saying can't be correct!
