ianofcleveleys Posted Thursday at 12:45 Posted Thursday at 12:45 Vagaries of the free, loan and fee paying markets, Dalby definitely a very good solid free signing, no doubt (on a Twitter post asking who were our best permanent and loan signings of the season I went for him as permanent and ACD loan). No doubt for me also that if we'd got away with that bid for Kenny, or even anything up to £1m we'd be sitting on a big potential profit in a year or two. Capable for me of cutting it at least at Championship level or equivalent league in Europe Quote

Even if we had managed to snare Kenny for £500k (or whatever our final offer was) Dalby would still be the best signing of this, and many previous, seasons. The only signings that come near, over the last few years, are the similar free signings of Sheehan and Afolayan. Maybe, there’s a lesson there. Dalby was getting absolute pelters earlier in the season, whilst Burstow got the plaudits. All change now, and sometimes we forget what happened just a few months ago. Kenny has shaped up quite quickly for me. More difficult to come in half way through and have to hit the ground running. Now I reckon we have a good front line, which should serve us well. Quote

That'll never catch on. Quote

jeep Posted Friday at 09:05 Posted Friday at 09:05 It's gonna be a cracker.... They'll be up for it.... We'll be up for it after Tuesday.... Need a start like Tuesday too.... Bwfc 3 Huddersfield 1 COYFWM!!! Quote
Ani Posted Friday at 15:19 Posted Friday at 15:19 They need to win to have any chance of play offs and even then it is an outside chance. Most they can get is 72 points, whereas 75 is probably needed. If we win play offs are guaranteed , but lose and there are 4 others that can still catch us. All of whom play games in hand mid week. Let’s just win and avoid any stress. Quote
freds dad Posted Friday at 15:51 Posted Friday at 15:51 This is either going to be a storming performance like Tuesday or we will be bloody awful like Doncaster at home. You just never know which Bolton Wanderers will turn up. Quote

I think if they'd beaten Cardiff (and Wycombe) they'd have been well up for it, I suspect they will now be in the frame of mind we were in post-Lincoln re finishing top 2. Hoping to win but losing that spark of expectation and anticipation. I bet their fans will be very flat after conceding 95th minute or whatever equalisers in two consecutive games. I don't think that's happened to us once all season has it? They'll say the right things and try their hardest but they know they've blown their play off hopes. Quote
Arrested development Posted Friday at 17:20 Posted Friday at 17:20 Its tough to balance keeping momentum with making sure our key players stay fit and don't get injured. IMO Dalby probably could do with a rest but I'm happy to go with the same team, but rotate second half. Quote

Whitesince63 Posted Friday at 19:14 Posted Friday at 19:14 Interesting to know who the doubt is but seems likely it could be Dalby who’s been carrying a knock for a while and came off early on Tuesday. If so it gives Burstow the chance up top and if Kenny’s also fit that would be an interesting combination. Quote

Dalby was limping around for about 10 minutes before he finally got subbed on Tuesday, I couldn't believe they didn't take him off as soon as it happened given the game was won, hopefully he's OK for the play offs.

only1swanny Posted Friday at 22:34 Posted Friday at 22:34 Mcatees back for this one? Or another game? Quote

Let’s just win and avoid any stress. 5 teams can catch us if we lose , so we could still miss out on the play offs . A win almost guarantees it with it coming down to goal difference. Quote
Krimzon Posted Saturday at 06:24 Posted Saturday at 06:24 Unusually no nerves for this , like the Stevenage game . They dont really believe and a comfortable 3-1 win for us . Job done ! Quote
Eddie Posted Saturday at 06:48 Posted Saturday at 06:48 We aren’t dropping out of the play offs - that concern is gone post Stevenage. It’s all about securing 3rd or 4th now and that’s a big enough incentive in itself Quote
Farnywhite Posted Saturday at 08:27 Posted Saturday at 08:27 Mcatee and burstow to start for me . Dalby and Kenny both carrying injuries no point making them worse plus burstow deserves a start Quote
Rizlar Posted Saturday at 08:57 Posted Saturday at 08:57 See Hardie is injured again we dodged a bullet with him! Quote
