After 196 pages of mostly drivel and bickering have we as city fans got enough shite left in us to get over the line and make it 200 pages before Sundays kick off. That achievement might give the players inspiration to push on this season, .So come let's give all the bollox we can and get us over the line.
Lets do it for all the people with Aids.

Am I the only person that’s not at all fussed that we didn’t sign Paterson, Collins or Walsh? The only one I was disappointed about missing out on was James
I was gutted we didn’t get Walsh because I’d convinced myself we’d sign him on a free last year

annoyed we didn’t get James

but Collins & Patterson

Personally I thought Paterson was a strange one to begin with as I'm unsure what Robins' plans were with him. With O'Hare being a guaranteed starter bar being rested or injured, I just didn't think bringing Paterson in was a wise use of the budget at all.

Walsh I would've liked but not all that surprising we missed out. Happy we didn't bring Collins in frankly.

We will probably never know but I reckon us going seriously for Liam Walsh was dependent on Hamer moving on heavily linked with Rangers for a while. As we stand midfield wise now if we play wing backs and two up front I’m not sure where Walsh would have played.

No idea if we were in for him or not, but it would make sense. Someone to either compete with, or play next to, O'Hare and miles better than Shipley/Allen. The fact we've signed Bright shows we did need someone in that position.

Not sure I agree. Paterson would've likely demanded a third, perhaps double what Bright is currently on and realistically would've been second fiddle to O'Hare.

Granted, we needed a player in that role but not one on whose wage demands simply didn't reflect his status within the team.

It's a poor use of budget, especially when other positions are in need of addressing.

Surely Clarke-Salter in today?

In other news just found out he has both a double barrelled surname and a double barrelled first name (Jake-Liam).

Let’s hope he’s more decisive on the pitch than his parents were at the registry office.

Good-one ma-te

Yeah he was a weird target. Brights the right balance of potential and cost I think.

Confusing for other defenders when he shouts one of his four names to claim a ball

We all know Bright is a gamble if it comes off though and he performs as we know he can imo he offers a lot more than Paterson and younger.

You should see his middle name, triple-barrelled

I think we should nickname him 'Shotgun'

Louie Barry off to Ipswich on loan, good signing for them. Big things expected

Hope we move in for a loan next season after he's had some time playing mens football.

Just seen that Robins has said Cranie is still training with the club (currently with the u23's). So looks like there is still a chance to sign him. From his comments it looks like we are waiting so see how much budget we have after the 2 more loan signings before making the decision.

Souare been let go.

Probably depends on who we can move on then. Hopefully a couple go out today as well as come in.

It reads as if Cranie is being kept on trial as a secondary option just in case. So, I don't think he'll be brought on.
