True enough, in typical City tradition we'll probably manage to get at least 20k for him!

Then again if we emulate the 1969 team and go 21 games unbeaten from December to the end of the season to go from mid-table to promotion we might be able to hold onto him! :lol:

Emulating the 1996 team might just do it :wink:

Nope, it can't be the play-offs, that would wreck my travel plans for the year!

Well Donovan Ricketts' move to QPR has fallen through - the home office have rejected his appeal for a new work permit, and his appeal has failed too.

At least that means we'll now have 2 keepers on the books.

Presumably we'll be retaining Loach? Has anyone been sad enough to go watch the reserves and seen anything of our 3rd choice Thai international?

According to the OS Loach will stay so they will have to fight it out to be number 1.

Not seen the Thai keeper myself, but the reports I have read don't suggest good things.

So you have two goalkeepers and are paying two but only one can play?

Oh dear :(

No they can both play.

Ricketts' current work permit lasts until his contract with us expires in June, he just doesn't qualify for a new one.

At least its a bit of healthy competition, which we now seem to be having all over the field, which can only be beneficiary.

In reference to the earlier posts about Bullock, he's been a great signing for me, and the rumours are he'll sign a contract tomorrow for 18 months. Added some much needed height and resillience to our midfield.

Well I went to my first away game of the season yesterday (after the Chesterfield debacle last season I'd pledged never to go away again, I'm amazed I lasted this long TBH), not the best of games in fairness, but another win to keep the run going.

David Brown looked lively and it was his persistence that forced the mistake from the goal, Scott Loach had a bit of a mixed bag really, was lucky not to give away a penalty in the first half, some of his kicking was dodgy but then he stopped the penalty, and his save from the rebound was top drawer - he then dropped a cross late on and I'm amazed Macc didn't score - but he got away with it.

If Ricketts had performed similarly he'd have probably been vilified!

We missed Daley big time for his ability to get us going forward with his pace, unfortunately Colbeck seems to be slipping backwards into his pre-loan spell ways, tinned a lot of challenges yesterday and gave away a needless penalty.

Two home games to come now, and a chance to really shoot up the table.

Might have been a bit hasty saying we'd never make the play-offs :wink:

The odds are dropping fast apparently, people are starting to take notice. It's still a tall order, but it's not out of the question, especially if we can win the next 2.
