6 of those wouldn't be here if Hamer and Gyokeres hadn't been sold.

If we get 11 from that lot it will definitely be a statement of intent.

A lot of people will think that they have invested a lot of money in attending cup defeats to lower-ranked opposition over the past few years under MR. So if he isn't showing any interest in progressing in the competition it's a bit rich for him to imply the fans aren't interested in coming to...

I seem to recall that Adebola went out on loan somewhere and when he came back he looked a different player.

Win tonight would do us a lot of good. At the minute everyone from 4th downwards is drawing/losing (Except Sheff Wed).

Loved him as a player for us. He seemed to attract a lot of criticism on here.

Agreed . If you're going to charge fans for a ticket you should at least make the effort to win the game.

6? That's generous!

Trouble is that our manager doesn't like a cup run.

Except if the reason you're unfit is due to an injury sustained during the course of your employment.

I'm surprised that the managers of teams that have gone up don't seem to be under undue public pressure (apart from Heckingbottom possibly).

Fair point, It's a bit of a different situation though. If we'd gone up then Vic and Gus would maybe still be here wheras we've had to do a rebuilding job.

If we had beaten Luton and were now 18th in the premier league, would Robbins still be here?

If we're winning games it's not an issue. Otherwise it's another excuse for losing.

...and weighing it up against the additional amount he'll be asked to spend in January.

Thing is our recruitment does look poor and many on here have criticised the recruitment personnel. Why would it be any different in January?

Simply for balance - If we lose we'll be 9 points behind. We're 19 points off 2nd place.

Did I say that?

Because a short term contract extension gives the injured player one less thing to worry about during his rehabilitation and makes him grateful to the club rather than thinking that his employers are a load of bastards. In the grand scheme of things it wouldn't have cost a lot would it?

Not necessarily. If Burnley get relegated and Kompany moves on (pushed or jumps) then the situation changes.
