And I doubt he will next season either, for all the good form the massive are in they still can't break into the top six

And even if we did sneak promotion this season he would likely be replaced with a better player for the prem season!! You guys probably know him better than we do but the consensus seems to be that he is better going forward than he is at defending, whereas the other right back we have, Palmer, is the opposite. So as we are generally set up with a formation that requires the FBs to get forward with the midfield providing cover, then Hunt is our best option at the moment.

Sounds like nothing's changed there then. Great going forward, yes. wouldn't have him back now. We now have attacking full backs who look comfortable going either way.

Tommy Smith attacking full back!

Not Town o'Clock news at all but read this piece by Ami Winehouse in the Yorkshire Post about the noisy neighbours up the other end of the A62 today. To save you reading all the guff, scroll down to the last 3 paragraphs, particularly the 3rd from the end.

Now that is pretty damning for any professional club if true and no reason after the mad Italian's spending cuts to think it isn't.

No scouts!

Exactly - short term planning for a long term disaster.

Some old Donkey on Blackpool beach died carting a Geordie heifer around with a kiss me quick hat on, it was 130 years old in Donkey years so Town fans are stopping back after the game at Preston until 5:25pm so they can do a round of applause for the poor animal

Dean Hoyle was quoted as saying 'Eh' of hearing Derek Donkey's passing
