True enough, but then we've got the lowest *net* spend in transfer fees in the league by a mile.

Fair play to him, nice to see a bit of loyalty to his employer (or Cowley I guess is the major factor) in this day and age as we'd no doubt have offered him a hefty pay rise.

We won whilst right up against it and Jordan Cook SURELY ended his own Luton career in the process so a great day all-round I think. Apart from Coventry winning in the cup which ruins a potentially huge away following for us.

JJ to Brighton with a loan back to us to end of season is now being reported by Pete O'Rourke. I'd be happy with that as it would give us money to strengthen now and time to identify another right back for next season. Be a good move for him too I think.

Doesn't sound from the way Cowley is talking there that he has a release clause, if it was a case of us just upping our bid until we hit the clause then you wouldn't think he'd come out and say some of the things he does in that interview. Which makes the low original bid seem a bit strange, we...

Jones said it was a nonsense rumour and we were never in for him even before he moved to Scotland so whilst possible I'm inclined to think O'Rourke was just wrong. He's also been repeatedly claiming in recent weeks that we've told Leeds we would sell James Justin for £1m when we've already...

Just caught up and seen that it is Pete O'Rourke reporting it (and he's saying it is a release clause). He had a decent record with LTFC transfer news until this window but he's peddled a few nonsense ones (most recently that we were in for Aldred at Bury) so I'd take it with a heavy dose of...

Yeah I did think of the Berry parallels, that one sounded an absurdly low fee (when it was first rumoured he was off to Scotland anyway) but turned out to be basically true presumably down to a release clause. Can't say I know much about Woodyard but given the fees that were suggested earlier...

Yes, he's got another season and a half to run on his deal. Jones did say the other day how much he likes Gambin and sees him as a part of the squad going forward, I wouldn't be surprised though if the player wanted out. He doesn't get nearly enough game-time here as it is and I can't see him...

Low release clause might explain why he signed a new deal in the summer? That does seem excessively low though.

Doubt it would put us off if indeed we are interested, it's not like we are desperate for someone to walk into the team right now in that area so I think if he is one that has been identified as a target we'd be happy to take a longer view than the next few weeks. Gives Jones a few weeks to...

Jones refused to comment on the rumour linking us to Otis Khan at his press conference doing the standard "we don't comment" bit. But then he also flatly rejected another rumour in the same interview as being not true so one might interpret that as basically admitting our interest in Khan...

Jesus :bl: just seen the highlights on Sky... he should be docked 6 months wages for that, what an absolute moron!

What on Earth happened in stoppage time then?! Just seen the score, looks like it got feisty at the end?

Yeah I wouldn't expect a good following this time either to be honest, the next three away games after you are Stevenage, Coventry then Cambridge, so if people are going to miss any of those it'll be you. I'm not going for one... swore never to return after seeing us lose 7-1 there in the...

We've got some of our biggest away trips to come still. Stevenage will be sold out, Cambridge too. Coventry on a Saturday could be a huge following (last and only time we've played them at the Ricoh it was about 4,000 if memory serves although that was in the Championship). Unfortunately that...

Doesn't look too good for Pelly's future at the club, couldn't get a game today even when it meant playing Olly Lee in a position he's provenly bad at and bringing in a player who is out of contract in the summer and surely unlikely to be offered a new one. Think his days really are numbered now.

I think you have to back Collins and Lee in his absence as it is only likely to be a couple of weeks max bar any setbacks. If we used Collins properly (i.e. have him in the box, never going wider than the width of the goalposts) rather than forcing him to play as a link-up player running...

Thought Shinnie was man of the match by a distance so gave to disagree with that part of BH's assessment! Very laboured performance though no doubt about it. Something about Collins and Lee doesn't seem to click as a partnership, maybe because both seem to like dropping deep rather than...

I have a vague memory of West Side Vinny on Outlaws claiming it was more like 20% which would be nice if I haven't imagined it. Funny old game is football, this time last season Marriott could barely get a game here. Funny how sometimes a move can completely transform a player (Hylton to us...
