Agree and surprising Jacks bowled more overs than anyone else -
Starting lineup/formation? I'd imagine an unchanged XI. Away from home against a team willing to go toe to toe with us, I reckon you stick with the added stability of Targett and Browne over Bangura and Gilbert. Only possible change for me is Fry in for Ayling if he's back fit and in contention. Score prediction? Definitely think both teams to score, I'll go 2-1. Don't reckon they'll roll over like some of the other teams have, but I do think we're catching them at a good time and we'll end up having too much for them. That being said, don't think a draw would be a bad result at all for us as we have three very winnable games coming up. Will I be doing the Blackburn MDT or does the run end here? We're keeping it going until we have a full album! -
no doubt they are getting the chequebook ready, thats the main risk with the parachute clubs even if they off pace, and we seen plenty of times from our own experience under carrick you can go from the worst positions in the league (or from having the season wrote off) and ending up making a push for the previously impossible, even in his first half season at one point we were thinking - can we over take sheffield united here? granted we needed to win again and again and them lose the plot to do it, but a strong run moves you up this league quickly as most teams drop points on a regular basis -
I don't think we take much of a hit in the summer from the Ipswich offer at all. That works out going on the cheap when no one is interested and competing, but if 10-15m starts to float about and a few clubs get involved it won't take long before its north of 20m again. We saw similar with Akpom, who due to the contract situation could have potentially left for maybe half of what we got for him but there was competition to sign him, so we got a nice fee for him that must have been close of what to expect with his age if he had say 2 years left on his deal. HH has age on his side, so anyone who might be paying a bit of a championship premium to get him, still have opportunity to recover that money and potentially profit from it too sounds like a good idea, but most transfers don't work that. everyone knows after turning down someone's last offer to buy or last chance from the seller, that further offers will normally still be considered, especially if you come close or meet their demands. You could visibly see the club try to do this in the last week of the transfer window in the summer. We announced that it was now too late for anyone to buy him (as I imagine we told him a deal needed to be done by then so we had scope to sign someone to replace him) via the local press. Which had an immediate response to them reports in the locals was leaks in the nationals that he was still open to a move to the premier league, which no doubt came from his agent to tell Prem clubs to come and get him if they want him. Where these demands fall down is when the player is trying to force the move, if they are then you either force them to stay and risk their productivity falling off a cliff, or take best offer you can get for them. If you actually try to cut off contact with other clubs buying them, they will just go public to get the player to knock on Scotts door and ask what is going on.
