    we are supposed to be signing has suddenly had a change of mind after last night.

    On the other hand he may be thinking, I can make a difference here.

    I'm not betting on it either way.

    If anyone should be having a change of heart it should be us. Apart from his off target second half free kick he was anonymous.

    Might be because he knows he's leaving them. Apparently didn't celebrate their goals either. Didn't want to rile the home supporters...

    I would think that any striker watching that game would be rubbing his hands at the chances we created

    I think the main factor in his decision making will be the wages we offer him & last night won’t make any difference

    If it was anywhere near to being done, surely he wouldn't have been playing last night.

    Disagree. You play your best players to have the strongest team available to pick up three points and expect them to play with the effort you'd expect any other game.

    You wouldn’t if a fee had been agreed.

    Why? He's still Mansfield Town's employee until his contractual situation says otherwise. If we are to sign him, then personally I'm glad that he's professional enough to turn out for Mansfield and try his best, probably knowing that he'll be a Barnsley player this time next week.

    At least his head was in the right place to play - can't remember any player at Oakwell get a standing ovation from his directors

    I didn’t mean in a professional sense. You’d expect a footballer to still perform despite interest from elsewhere, unless you’re a certain Hungarian international. More that Mansfield wouldn’t want to risk an injury if the rumoured fee of £500k+ was anywhere near being imminent.

    Aren't you disagreeing with yourself there? But this tactic would save a lot of BBS arguments. You might be on to something. :D

    Hard to say. We still fielded Hourihane in a huge derby match 3 days before we sold him to Villa.

    If the rumours are true the lad was stuck between a rock and a hard place. A strange decision by Mansfield of course they had every right to play him but he is moving here what position to put him in couldn't win really.

    He is not a striker. Did you not see him play?

    At one point I thought Connell had scythed him down and thought he’d roll around and get Connell booked.

    Maybe it wasn’t that bad - but he jumped straight up and I remember laughing and saying to my lad ‘he doesn’t want to get his new skipper in trouble’.

    Not sure if he’s coming or not. I actually thought he was ok last night but not much more than ok. He wasn’t their best player.

    Where will you play him? Up front or instead of Phillips / Connell / anyone else?

    Just had a look at Boltons team playing today and it’s absolutely night and day when you compare our squad to theirs at the minute
