    They haven't said that they want to stop the current use of oil, they want to stop new fossil fuel licensing and production.

    Well then why are they obstructing road users? Is it really the road users that are giving new fossil fuel licenses? Surely it’s the government they should be targeting, not drivers

    I fully understand their reasons as I’m very keen on green energy myself and would love to see an end to the use of fossil fuels on our roads, but you just have to accept that we can’t stop the use of oil yet simply because we’re still not ready to (unless they really can afford to buy every petrol/diesel car owner in the UK an electric car and fund the production of all new wind/solar farms we need)

    We must avoid making too many new signings, as it will take time for the new team to gel, but here are my views on the squad:

    Gunn - Keep. I think the reason he was signed was also so we would already have someone ready for Krul’s departure, and he is now the 

    Krul - Sell. One year left and no longer first choice. If he does go though we will need to sign an experienced replacement because we don’t have anyone ready to be a Championship backup - Jed Steer’s out of contract at Villa this summer

    Aarons - Sell. One year left and I can’t see him signing a new contract, so best he goes whilst we can still get some money for him

    Mumba - Keep. The reason he was sent out on loan was to get some experience because we knew Aarons would have to go this summer

    McCallum - Still doesn’t seem quite ready for the Championship yet but he’s still young and could come good. However, he only has one year left so we need to offer him a new contract and if he doesn’t sign one then I think we will have to sell him 

    Giannoulis - Sell. Only one year left and very injury prone

    Hanley - Keep. Need him for experience, and with him out for the rest of the year no one would be interested in signing him anyway 

    Gibson - Only one year left but with Hanley out until Xmas I think we need to keep him for experience

    Omobamidele - If someone really does offer £15m+ for him then I would sell him, but otherwise I would keep him 

    Tomkinson - Loan. Needs game time and he’s not going to get much here and unfortunately didn’t get much at Stevenage either. Although with Hanley out until Xmas and Gibson out of contract next summer we will have to sign someone on loan with an option to buy. Send Hills and Warner out on loan too

    Sorenson - Keep. One year left with option of extension. Can also cover at FB as well

    Gibbs - Keep. Considering he was still yet to make a first team appearance last summer I think he’s done amazing, and is looking very promising

    McLean - Keep. Runner up POTS, and we need his experience

    Sara - Keep. Sara is vital for next season so anyone who thinks he should go now is crazy and I think he arrived with a sell on clause, although if someone did happen to come in with an offer of £40m+ I guess we may have no option but to accept it

    Nunez - Keep. Didn’t show much this season but he’s still young and has plenty of time to improve

    Placheta - Sell. One year left and always injured, so get rid

    Rowe - Loan. Only turned 20 last month, and although he has impressed in the few first team appearances he has made he needs regular game time

    Springett - Loan. Just like Rowe and Mumba he has impressed in the few first team appearances he has made, but needs regular game time

    Hernandez - Keep. Need his experience and just like McLean I think the reason he was offered a new contract was so we would have some experience in the squad for next season

    Tzolis - Keep. Only 21 and three years left, so can still come good

    Rashica - Sell. Doesn’t want to be here so get rid of him this summer

    Kamara - Loan. Another young player just coming through the youth academy, so just like Tomkinson, Rowe and Springett needs regular game time which he’s not going to get here

    Sargent - Keep. Strikers are the most expensive and we’re not going to have much money to spend which was the whole reason why we signed Barnes

    Idah - Lacks experience so really needs a loan. To send him out on loan though we would need to sign someone in on loan otherwise we would have to keep

    Leeds look like they will definitely go down. They have the worst GD and face Spurs who still have the possibility of a Europa Conference League spot to play for. I think Leicester will join them as although West Ham will probably put out a weakened side because they have nothing to play for and so are probably concentrating solely on Europe, Leicester have to win and rely on Everton to drop points against Bournemouth, who also have nothing to play for

    Grant Holt wasn't that cheap. £400k doesn't look much now, but then - and with our finances so bad at the time - it was a  big investment.....and what a good one it was!

    I think Holt actually cost us £750k, but like you've said although that looks an absolute bargain as now a striker of his quality would probably cost about £20m, considering we were a 3rd tier club on the brink of administration back then it was almost all our funds

    Don't have a clue. Who else are we signing this summer? Who's going? Who else has got relegated from the PL and who won the League One playoffs? In my opinion this poll is 2 months early, and I wouldn't make any predictions on how we'll do next season until late July, when we have a better idea of who will be in our squad and how they do in pre season

    I think it might be worth giving Tom Davies a go. An out of contract 24 year old midfielder with 155 PL appearances to his name, so a free agent yet to reach his peak but with loads of experience. People moan we have no ambition when we sign free agents but it’s better signing a player of his experience level for nothing than spending about £7m on a player of similar experience as you can never expect a player to perform to their career statistics

    He wasnt always fouled though, sometimes he just got tackled, sitting on the ground with your arms out doesnt win the ball back. Only the blind would not see it...and to ignore it would not be a fair appraisal. Just as Pukkis lack of aerial ability knocks a point or so off his mark out of 10...both great players, neither perfect. 

    Yes - what I didn’t like about Buendia was his attitude/temperament. I was at the 4-0 victory against QPR and a player tackled him, bringing him down in the process. A few minutes later Buendia got sent off for a two footed challenge on the player concerned. Saw red four times in his career with us

    Think he would be a great signing considering he came third in the POTS votes last season in the PL but would he really want to come to a Championship club? We also probably wouldn’t have the option to buy as we didn’t last season, so if he came and helped us to promotion next season it may end up being a similar tale to Skipp

    Should both Krul and Gunn be out injured, there is the emergency loan option. The club would have budgeted for Krul seeing out his contract. We still have the third year of parachute money so all this is accounted for. Last summer saw an awful lot of dead wood cut away as a number of 'possibles' were sent out on loan or released. We will have t see who of Mumba, Springett, Tompkinson is up to first team football. Others in the Championship have UK players, doing well. We need to learn to look closer to home.

    We don’t have a third year of parachute payments. This is because clubs who come straight back down are only deemed to be worthy of two years of parachute payments. To get three years of parachute payments you have to spend back to back seasons in the PL - of the possible teams to get relegated this season Southampton, Leicester, Everton and Leeds would all get three years worth, Forest and Bournemouth would only get two years worth

    The current GK pecking order is Gunn, Krul, McGovern. McGovern is out of contract this summer and I think he will retire as he is 38 and been looking at becoming a coach in recent years. With one year left, I would be happy for Krul to be sold provided we sign someone with decent experience to replace him. This is simply because I don’t think Barden is ready to be second choice as although he did well when he had to step in briefly a couple of years ago with Krul and McGovern both out injured, his cancer caused him to be out of action for a year so I don’t think he has enough experience

    The Plymouth boss deserves it more. He’s got Plymouth going right from the start of the season. A while back I remember someone posting a link to a thread on the Ipswich forums on here with fans moaning about how they’d spent more money than anyone else and they weren’t doing great
