I'm warming to the idea of Jebbison it's a bonus he has played alongside Dobbin so element of familiarity could bed him in quicker. 

Yeah great lets sign the strikers of a team that finished 14th last season. Like when we signed the strikers of a team who finished bottom of the premier league, remind me how that went.

Ambition at its finest.

Settling for average. 😅

We bought Dobbin from the same team and he has looked very good. The fact they finished 14th doesn't mean that they don't have any players worth buying.

We signed Billy Sharp from Doncaster, who finished bottom of the league. If he’s the right player for us, I couldn’t give a hoot.

I agree. We should not be signing strikers from the team that finished 14th in the Championship.

Wish we'd got Ballard or Tolaj though. Fingers crossed for Salech! ASPIRASHUNS!  😉

Isn't that because they threw in a picture of a train?

Didn't we buy Dobbin from Villa?

On loan at Prestos where him and Jabberwookie scored a massive 16 goals between them 🤦

Aston Villa weren't 14th 😉

When it comes to some of the players we’ve loaned out, like BBD and even Sugawara, it’s important to bear in mind the “X-Factor” – Tonda.

They were both loaned out at the end of August, and Bree at the start of September. Tonda became interim manager on November 2, and things immediately started to change for the better because he was getting much more out of the same players – like Downes, THB, Manning and – when we brought him back - Bree. Fellows was released from the constraints of playing wingback, and he started to show more. Larin arrived and brought far more than he’d produced elsewhere in the previous two seasons. Same players but much better utilization, man management, and smart substitutions started getting a lot more out of them.

I was seriously underwhelmed when we signed BBD for the PL because he’s too limited to succeed at that level. He’s a physical presence up front, which is an important element of our style – he’s not a winger. If they think Tonda can get a Championship tune out of him, in a role he can play, I’m okay with keeping him.

Bloody hell, I was only having a bit of fun, no need to strike such a low blow!

Perhaps the other players supporting them weren't good enough to help them score more...🤔🤔🤔

Perhaps ours are....🤔🤔🤔

I know, but he wasnt playing for Aston Villa.

My point was that he played  for Preston last season albeit on loan. Their position in the league shouldn't mean we shouldn't be interested in players that played for them.

We bought one of our best strikers of all time from Bristol Rovers, after they finished  mid-table in League 1.
