    That was special last night and hugely significant, we've got them by the throat we must not let them breathe.

    And if we do our bit this will not go the distance cause when they go it'll be 55 season levels of implosion and turmoil for them.. but we mustn't give them a chance to breathe.

    Agreed. If we win the title, it’ll be a sure thing by early April because they will implode. 
     

    Im still not sure if I see us getting over the line in a week by week title race in the depths of May, there’s still scar tissue and our OF record is poor. 
     

    There’s a real possibility that if we win our next 7 league games, we’ll be out of sight and the last 7 won’t matter as much. They are ready to implode and it’s about what we do, keep the scoreboard pressure and they’ll crumble soon. 

  2. It’s usually the length of term that’s as much of a factor as the wage, when you get to 30 odd.  
     

    Say he’s on £35k p/w as rumoured, we’re not offering him miles less than that. Maybe we’re trying to bring it down to 28-30k p/w, but we’re not going to insult our best player on form (barring super JB) by offering him half what he’s currently on. 
     

    But we’re probably only willing to offer than kind of money to someone with no resale, on a 2 year basis (if we’re really embracing the player trading model). He might get similar weekly wages down south on a longer term like 4 years…

    Again worked his socks of but had little quality or impact in his play. Until he then scored a fucking belter.

    Reminds me of Hagi, but people forget Hagi was basically worth a goal or assist every other game in the 55 season. The numbers matter, Cantwell needs to do more of that 

  4. People were pointing out that his movement is good and I was questioning if we were watching the same player. 
     

    But he gets a lot of chances, so clearly he’s good at finding space for himself. Doesn’t seem able to just put his foot through the ball, but these little dinked finishes are starting to add up

  5. Yeah that’s a big big blow. 
     

    Barring Tav and Dessers (I know), we don’t really have a consistent goal threat now.
     

    We’re going to need a poacher style striker who can convert some of the chances Dessers will miss, plus a wide player who can give us something similar to Sima in terms of threat, but also work-rate and physicality. 
     

    The likes of Cantwell, McAusland, Lawrence, Matondo, are all going to need to pitch in with 3-5 goals a piece also between now and summer.
     

    Combined they currently only have 7 goals in total this season. That’s woeful for players playing in those roles at a club like ours (although McAusland deserves a pass because he’s young).
