Someone will start a takeover thread I expect, should see us through from the forum match to pre-season. If however we should fail in our promotion bid summer will be just one long change the manager/sell all the players time.

Although I think it might be better if Charlton didn't win, don't want them to start playing well again.

Not really the sort of comments you like to have on your school report card are they.Still fans can be biased I guess.

Looks like 18 from the photo on page err 2 of this thread (I read from last to first so page 6 for me)

I'm just going to wait and see what he does when he actually plays for us.He won't be first choice anyway,certainly not against MK Dons.

The key lies in the matches between the top 7 teams. We unfortunately have still to play 3 of them, 2 away.If the better placed team(on points average/game) wins each time the points needed will be more than if the lower team wins.

20K is way way off the mark.Anyway this lad's just a loan and then we'll see where we are with what we've got already and where we're going.

Im69 is 5ft 6 and some dust, my daughter is 1m71 and it really isn't very big.Perhaps I'm just biased because I remeber the Eamon Collins fiasco.

why are we getting these comparisons with Gerrard, he's 6ft 3 and Stephens is about 5ft 6, how's that a similar build??

In fact we were good enough to win at Charlton, we did win but an incompetent linesman made a mockery of that. As we have benefited from dodgy penalties given and not given on other occasions you can't complain too much but we did beat Charlton in a better world.

Anyway Colchester have very few fans and their ticket prices are lower than ours (although they do operate a grading system for good/bad/indifferent opposition). Shouldn't even be in the same league as us. The football league should implement a minimum and maximum budget for each division.

nobody has sold anybody as yet. Oldham are really really skint, they couldn't pay their salaries on time last month. Even a loan fee may help them through and as they have absolutely nothing left to play for this season they might as well benefit, even if it's only 50K and 2 month's of the players salary.He'll be in the shop window as well.Plus they get a player on loan from Blackburn who's probably no worse that Stephens.

"I'd like to think so, but as far as I know it's just a loan at the moment, but hopefully I'll play games here and I can impress the gaffer. I'm delighted to be here, and I'll just take every game as it comes because it's a test for me, but a good opportunity too, so we'll see what comes of that. Where's the ambiguity there then?

Coventry won't be relegated this season, they have a 7 point buffer with 8 to play.

He's not a purchase, for the time being it's a short term loan, no option mentioned whatsoever.I suppose if he proves himself with us and the management think that he could move up a league with us then we'll see about a permanent deal. Probably cost us some sort of loan fee though 50K maybe.

As I said yesterday then just loan until we see what he can do.

MK Dons will probably crush Walsall and Peterborough will probably just win.

must be a bit of a nutjob then. Unless of course he's hoping that they go bust and he could pocket the £125000 as a signing on fee. Surely Fulham could give them the money and loan the player back to Argyle for this season and even the start of next. Similarly those clubs in our division who would most benefit from Argyle not going out of business could do the same if they felt so inclined. A story that hasn't really been thought through I think.

We had Dyer and Surman to sell though, plus if I remember correctly we had a few people willing to put their hand in their pocket to tide us over.Plymouth have been living this situation for months now so they're further down the road to ruin than we were and all their saleable assets are long gone.Their crowds are abysmal compared to those we were getting at that time as well.

How would they get any money in the loan window anyway? Loan fees?.but not for the crap they've got left

Depends if Bournemouth's new signing from Citeh adds anything to their game, depends if Symes is fit at any time soon as well I guess. Think they've lost all 3 games since he's been out.

In their last 5 games Dons have beaten Brighton and Peterborough, we'll see what they're made of at SMS in a while of course but they're such a bunch of f*cknasties that they worry me more than any other side left in the promotion race.If by any chance they should beat both us and Huddersfield then all bets would be off regarding 2nd place.

It's all relative though,MKD have won their last 5, who could say just how many of their last 8 they're likely to win. I wouldn't want to be in the play-offs with either them or Peterborough I know that.

If we can't give them 20 minutes or so against Bristol Rovers and ..... why would we give them any game time in the NPC against Wigan or West Ham? Schneiderlin and Chaplow will be our starting pair next season with Stephens and Hammond in reserve I guess, where does that leave Gobern and all the other kids? out on loan at Bishops Stortford and Salisbury I suppose. I'm not sure if Dean actually played fro D+R but if he did he must be really regretting his move to SMS.

Depends if he plays against MK Dons or not, they are in cracking form of late and we may well struggle against them if we're not tip-top.Plus they're one of the hardest and dirtiest sides in the country, I'd certainly take no chances with team selection against them.
