I guess the balls in Smiths court if he gives them a second chance or if he's been told they are getting moved on, time will tell.

Sounded like Houghton had an option in his favour, not sure he l get much gametime at all. I think he l be backup incase of Injurys.

Would be a bonus getting Taylor and Griffin moved on to strengthen further and as has been touched on in the media article, we may see the above being paid off or moved on as the "surprising" ones.

One can hope.

Me I cannot wait to see Carlos, Savelio, Cator, Trueman, Hoy, Dywer, Sutcliffe out there alongside the likes of Connor, Satae and Sao. If the youngsters can push on and develop we have a good platform

I think it's absolutely needed that we start to see some structured plays and the basics all been doing correctly again.

Hopefully Taylor but can’t see it personally.
Can’t see anyone else to be shown the door but you never know.

I know you are still reeling from your Stanley "wouldn't walk over hot coals" remark but this post should be on the Derby topic.
