Following Oxford, I don't expect to win every week. However, that was a pretty poor showing. I do think people are getting carried away though, we have a play off standard squad and I think we will finish in there. Keep the faith! Beadle, Stevens and Murphy I thought were good today. A really...

On the train to P'boro from Edinburgh! 8 hour round trip today to watch the game with my family. COYY

Has anyone watched Herbie Kane’s interview doing the rounds on Twitter? Very non-committal about his future at Barnsley and he has 6 months left on his deal. I am not an avid follower of this forum so not sure what the general consensus was about him first time around but I thought he was...

FL insider on twitter suggesting we are one of a number of clubs after Jorge Grant from Hearts. Might just be because he is from the area but would be a great addition albeit not a position we are desperate for.

I obviously echo the praise for all the top performers tonight. Mcguane, Harris, Browne all superb. I want to show some love to Billy Bodin though who looks like he has really trained and played his way into Manning’s XI. He operates so confidently in the 10 role and links the midfield and...

Will be our first league game up against a team who will want to be on the ball just as much as us. May play into our hands, however the individual talent in their squad could be too much. I think we may get a 1-1 draw.

Poor for ages is very harsh. Wonder where we’d be without his goals last year!

I’m in the sell Brannagan camp if it’s north of £1m and frees up his wages to improve a couple of areas in the squad. Great player, has never let us down in all his years here and goes with the respect of all our fans for his goals, performances and loyalty.

I had no idea they paid that for him. He had a decent season last year so his value won’t have decreased enough for a 6 figure move.

I’ll go for someone I’ve not seen mentioned much this window. Sam Cosgrove of Birmingham City. On loan at promoted Plymouth Argyle last season. Big lad who can also play a bit would really add a different option to what we already have.

It’s interesting that every forward the club bring in or show interest in, their goal numbers are brought up over and over again. Do you think our level of scouting and planning for what Liam Manning wants from his attackers stop at how many goals they have/haven’t scored at their previous...

You literally told someone if they were there tonight they MUST share your opinion.

KJ has really split the room. I loved how hard he worked for us and I think will be a big player for Blackpool in the years to come, has a lot of the qualities of a fans’ favourite. I also have a lot of faith that if EW & LM really wanted him they would have got him. So let’s back the men that...

In Manning’s most successful season (MK 21/22) Scott Twine was their league top scorer with 20. The next best was striker Mo Eisa, with 12. I am not suggesting that any of our attacking midfielders will have as good a season as Twine that year, but I do think we should see this as an indication...

The young players there look like GOD, Goodrham, Mfuni, Franklin, Golding and Aidan E-W. I wonder if a loan move is happening for Johnson and he has already started training with that team? Still would seem odd as you’d think Manning would want as long as possible to assess his players.
