I'm not sure we really need a loan marquee signing.  I'd prefer to keep the money and use it in the summer.  Or, spend it now on a permanent signing.  That said, I think the Cahill think is BS.  It goes completely against what Smith said about lowering the age of the squad.

Winning 10 on the bounce is something we could do with Grealish fit.

What makes you think that?

With Jack in the side this season, we won 8 out of 22.

Cahill would be brought in (if true) to relieve Chester who is clearly knackered and play alongside Elphick while a Hause settles in. It doesn’t mean the long term objectives of lowering squad age have been abandoned. The back four needs a leader. We still need a LB badly though, even a strong RB as even the best of leaders will be working double time to make up for the toss we have in those positions.

and 5 out of 9 with Jack and Smith, it's not a massive leap to get from that to 7 in 10, especially if you consider we scored 21 goals in that run.

Because half of those games were played with Bruce as manager with his “thereabouts” policy rather than our current manager’s “there” policy.

It took a while to get Jack further up too. Think on Loftus Road where he was collecting the ball from.the half way line.

No. But it's a bit leap to "10 on the bounce", which is actually want I was responding to, if you read it properly.

Ads, if you don’t want the balti pie, can I have it?

If you sit in the Deadly Doug upper. I would buy you one. Only problem is I gave in to the non stop emails from the club, and put £20 on my season ticket card last week. But when I tried to use it it would not work. Supervisor said very few ST cards work. So why does the club keep telling people to put money on them.

I had a nice pie at Preston. Think it was all steak.

Never had one, so by all means!

Best Balti Pie in the Football League served at Glanford Park, Scunthorpe United. Please don’t ask me how I know. All I can say is that it’s just as well as the Football’s shite. As the kids would say # secret shame.

and it had already been said that we don't need to do that anyway so you just seemed to want to have yet another go at the glass half empty routine that you've been pushing for about 2 weeks. We get it, you're a bit annoyed at the recent results, give it a rest.

You're right. I'm fucked off at our recent capitulation. I'll give it a rest though.

Maybe I'll feel a little better after a win today.

What makes me think that is that Grealish playing further up the pitch gives us an irresistible goal threat.  We have the potential to simply blow teams away.  A couple of wins, some reinforcements and Jack back...  Well you never know.
