Re: Liam Sercombe
Yes it's a shame - but let's be honest - he's still a L1 standard player. It would have been bonkers if there were no offers in for him - his former clubs Oxford and Exeter are in that league or maybe a big final payday at Wrexham? Of course it's sad to see Sercs go - all those goals against Pompey...

Re: EFL Playoff Finals
I think it's probably due to the authorities thinking that if it is OK to completely ruin the spectator experience for the Premier League supporter then us in the EFL should suffer too?

It is insane that 13 months ago we drew with them and now they're Premier League bound and we got relegated. Football is bonkers.

Re: Contracts latest
Good news on those two. If we can get them to sign quickly along with Pett seemingly staying on, that would give us a pretty solid nucleus of a squad to tackle League 2 next season. Also interesting that DC is still very much leading this process so perhaps talk of him walking away are a little prem...

Nothing on his Twatter, nothing on the official site, no mention in the report nor DCs interview. Has another player said something? Definitely his ankle (yes, I realise that's part of his leg, but "broken leg" conjures up images of tibia and fibula, which I'm pretty certain it wasn't). T...

Re: See you at Stevenage!
We've never officially taken 1,000 to FGR I believe. We took 3,000 to Notts County in 2003 (stat courtesy of JP). According to the report on the official website we took 1,200 to FGR in December 22, although that does seem a rather round number so could well be an estimate? JP reported the same - I...

I'm a bit confused with the backlash against selling players to breakeven or make a profit. Its not luck to sell a player but a clear part of the club's business plan.

Problem is, Burton could potentially get 6 points.
