I missed all the football today. Can't believe it's 22:22. It's always miserable to blow a 2-0 lead but you know the cliche! I feel your pain. I'm impressed with Derby tbh. What a weird season and Championship though!

In our position, average would be a distinct improvement.

Who else do we have with that in their locker?

I concur, a one year contract could and should have been offered.

Poor business decisions by non-football people at the start of the season could be very costly.

if we kept him on (and he was probably on a big wage) then we aren't suddenly transformed into a promotion winning side (he has scored 3 times for reading) yes he might have produced the odd flash of brilliance as a reminder of yesteryear, but he wasn't that good in the last couple of seasons for us and he would be blocking game time for the likes of Davies or Evans.

if it made the difference between finishing 18th or 15th with less game time for the ones being brought through would it be worth the wage for a year?

He could help those players with their games, though.

He was great for us. When he ticked, we didn’t lose.
