Stated at press conference that when he looks round the dressing room he’s sees Andy Butler, Copps & Tommy Rowe he thinks it’ll be their last chance of getting to play in the Championship - the biggest hint yet he sees all 3 being here next season.

Christ sake now’s not the time to be criticising our players - have you never had a bad day at work?

If like many on this board believe Tommy is leaving why did GM mention Tommy’s name for next season.  Was it a throw away comment or does he see him with us if we are in the Championship and or league 1. Will he also get picked this Saturday for a vital game. Keep saying he is the leading goal per minute scorer from midfield this season and GM’s captain.

Perhaps he means those players would
Only be in the championship with us, not that that wouldn’t move on to another league 1 or league 2 club.?

Quote from GM

“It would be brilliant for me, but it is not about me, but this group really. I look in the dressing room and I see some of the older ones – the Coppingers, Butlers and Rowes – and I think that this may be the last chance for them to reach the play-offs at this level.

That to me reads non of them will be with us next season

And yet, to me, I don't think it reads either way at all. He just means that these are older players so by the nature of their limited time remaining as pros (tbf Rowe is only 29) they can't presume they'll get to be in this position again.

He's right.  Their opportunities to be in this position diminish by 1 every year, therefore they don't have many chances left.

Apart from Copps, maybe.  He'll still be playing when hes 50

Rowe is good but not as a midfield 3 better in the front 3

Not quick enough in a front 3 no where near.
Best position is in the hole behind strikers imo.
We have a few for that role though.

He also said it should be a full house but I don't think it will be anywhere near

Aye a few hundred in the South Stand, there's about 900 left though that can actually be sold. Could we be looking at a lockout tomorrow?
