Hope we sign him, to me the reason Championship and top end League 1 sides appear not to be in for him is that for the majority of the last 2 years he’s been average (with signs of potential) and with a poor scoring record.
Had he played like he has in the last 2/3 months over a 2 year period he’d be gone to one of the above.
So what’s his huge improvement down to?
Suddenly clicked/ playing in right position/playing in a better side/coached and managed properly… or his contract was up?

If he plays like he has recently and we have him contracted to us then he’ll be leaving on a nice fee, to a club much higher than league 2.
so I really do hope we sign him and he then continues playing like the real Luke Molyneux

= Win Win
Thought he reverted to type in the 2nd leg against Crewe , the full back had him in his pocket 1st half, he grew into the game 2nd half & got in some dangerous positions but his decision making was awful.

Bit harsh
He hit the post, and also created an excellent chance for himself but scuffed the shot.
He was our best player that night I thought

Alternatively the back 4 weren’t at their best because they weren’t being marshalled from behind by the keeper??

Both Jones and Lawlor when they played at the start of the season were playing behind a back 4 that wasn’t at its best. The back 4 didn’t improve much until Woods returned from injury and gained match fitness, which I believe coincided with the run of good form we showed at the back end of the season.

The mindset of the Club is changing (or has already changed) in that we’re no longer aiming to be ‘in and around the play-off’s’, but we are aiming to be Champions.
That is a different culture altogether and it then brings a change in player/squad criteria. GM is changing/tweaking to suit a sustained drive for the top spot and if we miss out by 1 or 2 positions, so be it.

Clubs showing interest and offering something are miles apart!

Form-wise, LM certainly improved after Adelakun joined in January. When Hans’ form dipped in the last 2/3 games, so did a few others; which leads me to believe HA is the catalyst to Grant’s system going really well.

Ideally, we need both to sign.

Biggins we most definitely missed in the Crewe home game, as the penny was dropping with where and how to play him. Now we have competition for his slot, but it would be nice if he signed too.

And Reeves slipped in a very, very clever point in her Mansion House speech in March.

Currently, the OBR's economic predictions work on the principle that Govt investment doesn't increase economic output.

Why they do that, God alone knows because it's batshit. If we build a new railway line, or houses where they are needed, of course economic activity increases.

Reeves said she will require the OBR to change that rule. That means when she borrows to invest, the OBR's predictions of GDP five years down the line will be much higher than they would be under current rules.

So, because predicted GDP will be higher, she'll be able to spend more on both current costs and capital investment without breaking the Fiscal rules she has signed up to.

It's very clever politics and appears to have gone straight over the heads of the "They're just Red Tories" bunch.

So Reeves wants the rules changing so they give a more favourable long term "prediction" so in the meantime she can borrow more cash on the strength of it, ermm.

This sounds something like the policy way back when work placements were introduced for kids that had left school with very poor or no formal qualifications. get them into the scheme, it gives them a job for a year, you can then massage the employment figures and make it look like the trend is downwards but in reality the "created job" kicks out the individual at the end of the year and gives it to another struggling school leaver. Looks like your being proactive but in reality its a mirage and not a good substitute for creating solid and permanent long term jobs and growth.

Massaging the figures didn't work then and will more than likely not work now.

Plus, Rachel Reeves has set out in detail what Labour's economic plan is:

In a nutshell, it is a very long term plan for growth. Balance the current account but allow borrowing for investment. It's the classic remedy for an economy that has spent too long living on consumption and not investing.

It's not going to solve our problems in 1 year, or even 5 years. But it's setting the right direction for the next 30 years.
bst if the tories had said that you would have said the need to spend massive now, borrow lots and invest! You were all over bidens plan in america, now labour are getting into power by saying what the tories say you seem to have changed your tune slightly
