IIRC it was Millwall home. Sent them down I seem to recall.

Think you’re right. It was an Easter fixture as I remember.

It's all relative. Liam Delap, THB, Downes were all relatively big money signings the year we went down last time albeit they were loans with options to buy. We almost bought Piroe last time out and he would have been a big money buy.

Yeah I could see us going for the loan to buy kinda options, although to be honest THB and downes didn’t really workout that much better then we already had  once we got promoted .

my main point was signing a big money signing in the championship will not get you the same quality as it would in the premiership take ramsdale for example we could go out and spend a equal amount but a player like him wouldn’t come so it’s not as good value for money .. we have to be careful not to just buy more championship players that won’t make the step up 

to all those who are calling to sell off pretty much everyone, we went into the premiership with a good championship squad doesn’t really make much sense to now ditch everyone when they are back in the league they are good in ?

I agree but I could see us spending say 10-15 million on a top drawer championship player. If you're in the prem you'll probably be spending that amount multiple times on most of the squad.

Mansfield IIRC. Won at Southend in round one. Bale got his debut under Burley much later that season. Walcott definitely featured under him though. 

Yeah it was Mansfield. I went to that game, and the lineup was essentially most of the U21s plus Neil McCann. It's no surprise we lost.
