With these rumours around Charles; if he was snapped up by someone higher up, who would you look at as a replacement?

Just a talking point, as I don't think he'll go, but I've no idea who would be suitable.

I note that both Stevenage and Northampton have a player each with a decent goal record this season, and maybe that's the type we'd have to look at, but in general, I've no idea.

My lad was looking at possible reinforcements in Jan rather than replacement and came up with Callum Marshall on loan from west ham.

Clark-Harris from Peterborough

Sure we were linked in the summer

Can't cut it in the championship,  his own record shows this.

If he can’t then Vic & dan won’t stand a chance

Yup, exactly,  no better than what we have. Just be a lot of wasted money

Plus, hasn't he only scored one more than victor this season?

Yes, victor has started 4 more games I think

Very good news

It seems mad that he's almost played a 100 games for us already!

[radcliffe white]

Morley & his representatives have been after a better deal since May and it was that or he was off

the club obviously believe he’s worth the investment👍

[burnden]

Don't understand the length of the contract extension for Morley myself.

Fair enough. Evatt et al must be happy enough with what he is offering.

Can we read into it that it was only settled right before the transfer window opens

They must indeed feel he's earned it, though I am a touched surprised at its length, given he's not currently a first choice on a regular basis.

Perhaps it is a means of protecting ourselves- if we don't go up, we still have a decent player, if we do, and he doesn't manage the jump, we still have a saleable asset.

Can we also read into it that perhaps his dip in form was at least in part because of the situation?

The issue from Morley’s point was that GT, Sheehan & Dempsey all got offered better deals in the summer, there is a player in Morley

His form dipped when his contract was up in the air so I’d think it played a part.

[frank_spencer]

I like Morley good set piece taker and rarely makes a mistake. Never upset at seeing him in the side might not be as exciting as GT, Maghoma and Sheehan but exactly the kind of player a squad needs

No doubt. He also has the responsibility to bring it out consistently. 

Always has been and always will be situations like this; and not unique to football neither.

It's now down to him to knuckle down and make himself invaluable. 

[ianofcleveleys]

You would think that, regardless of whether he's currently a fixture in our side, there'd been whispers of interest from others who see him as just what they need. I hope he kicks on now, forces his way into the team and stays there regularly. I've always thought there was a really good player in him
