I’d rather we had a go for Langstaff from Millwall who would probably be cheaper but more proven. No saying they’d let him go but he hasn’t played much there and they may prefer to recoup some of the reputed £700k they spent for him?

With larger attendances, associated leisure facilities, such as the hotel and function rooms, and the cash cow that is the car parks, I feel certain that our turnover from business operations will be higher than theirs. If so, only owner investment would make them more competitive than us.

Taggart the better footballer of those two but McElhinney not too bad and definitely a hard man. Every other game he ended up with a bandage around his head and blood all over the shop.

It was the midfield options We had loads I'm trying to figure out who played where I had Johansen/lee right and sellars left with Thompson though am sure the latter played more central But still had plenty games for Pollock and Sheridan so they must've been middle with frandsen It also seems like no one got injured much
May 31, 20251 yr Just been having a Google Didn't realise Sellers played 200+ games for Blackburn He's also 59 which makes me feel old

Don't know anything about Langstaff, but he's only scored 1 in 26 since he signed for Millwall from Notts County, not sure he'd be a better signing and he's not a big striker either.

That’s one hell of a signing to bolster up your midfield when bossing the division. Did we get an injury? Tomo? Nah he played last game at Burnden. Without looking Todd must have rotated them around

Maybe it’s the way they played him and maybe he can’t cut it in the Championship but his record with Notts was sensational and if he could repeat that he would be a steal.
