The Bidwell contract extension is looking like a poor decision at the moment.

Of the four players whose contracts we’ve extended mid-season - Eccles, Bidwell, Wilson and Sakamoto - only one of them would currently be first-choice. Been a slightly odd strategy.

Sale's?

Tats - no issue.
Wilson - no issue, makes sense as back up, which hes likely to be happy with
Bidwell - as above, would suggest that was part of the discussion and keeps senior pro involved. JDS who will be on higher wage and probably higher re sale than JB will be gone - suspect JDS will also want 1st team football somewhere.

Eccles, wasnt it to do with appearances being triggered from old contract., regardless, wouldn't be surprised if he moved on in summer.

Maybe it is to get a small fee for him. Could see someone like Blackburn/Derby coming in for him in the summer.

I said this for the Hull game , I'm not bothered about the performance { ironic as we played really well in my opinion } just the 3 points.

Should be an intriguing game as WBA need the 3 points as well , I will be glued to this thread as I'm on late shifts all over the easter weekend
2-1 Rudoni and Kitching
