Always hard to say who'll be starting at the beginning of a season. Rowley will be getting them to do whatever he wants to see in pre-season to decide who to start with. Don't think anything today with money or transfer fees will have an effect on who he picks, it'll be who's playing best.

As we have a large Squad already , and it is about to be increased by around 3 more additions , obviously that is why pre-season friendlies are arranged , I would think Paul already has a good idea of who his 17 will be next season , but with injuries and fine tuning coming into consideration the Starting 17 for the first game could be anybody .

You will lose that bet . We wont lose 7 games again and you wont go the season losing only 1 while going almost injury free.

Fev wont have another season as bad as this one. So many off field distractions and injuries this season its unbelievable. We will be a much better team next season. Nicholson and Walmsley season long injuries in the pre season friendlies. Dale, bostock, Medeika, flanagan, all had season cut short due to injury + Cording was out long term and returned for last 2 games. We also had all the bollox with flipflop resulting in us releasing or loaning out Briggs, Helliwell, Bennion, Saxton and Etu.

If you think you will be ahead of us by same margin in 2015 your deluded. We will improve much more than you lot will next season. Thats not saying we will be better than you, I just think there much more room for improvement from us. I cant see us losing to the bottom of the league next season and that gap will close

I msg DB a couple of months ago after reading that Sykes wasnt being retained and would be worth a look at......he said we had spoke to Sykes`s agent but WE decided against it as we had better players offered to us.
WE turned him down not the other way around.......sour grapes to me from Sykes.
