Thats great news for the club,Thorne is a goal machine and as you said he will score atleast 15-20 goals next season if all goes well.
As for the Rochdale game tonight i think we we have every chance of winning again, Rochdale dont have a great record at home so hopefully we can beat them and move up the table.
I think too many people are getting over exited about us being promoted this season because even with a win tonight its still a long shot,if were to mount a serious challenge for promotion then id say we would need to win every game from now til the end of the season which simply wont happen,im exited because we are finally a club with ambition and we have a good squad of players that are playing with passion and belief,if we can finish the season in the top 10 then that would set us up great for a promotion challenge for next season.

There has to be a building on this though for City, rather than just looking at what has been achieved in the second half of the season and expecting the same bunch of players to carry on in the same vein next year. Depending on the financial situation McCall should be given a bit of cash to splash in the summer, as you can't expect to challenge with a squad full of frees and loans.

Well now Donovan Ricketts cant come back to the UK his contract is terminated so that should free up some money for transfers.

Finally the playoff talk can end (and I can go to Headingley instead of VP on Saturday

)

We hope! Must have been close to 1500 City fans there tonight, obviously we had a few people believing!

Actually really enjoyed it, despite the defeat, we played reasonably well and could have nicked a point, but 'dale were the better team, in fact I'd say they were the best team I've seen us play this season (more based on the game at VP than tonight) and are a good bet to win the play-offs.

Thinking about it we must have dropped at least 12 points in the last few minutes of games this season, what might have been eh? However, if we play like this til the end of the season, and use the money freed from high earners getting off the books to get some good League 2 players in for next term I'll be feeling optimistic for next year, and it's not often I say that.

looks like Wrexham are down

Obviously disappointed but at least it dispells any thoughts or hopes we had for the play-offs, which probably (nay, were) impossible to reach!

At least we can hope to finish strongly with no pressure and finish in the top 10 maybe.

Looking forward to next season, get rid of some high earners, Thorne has taken a wage cut to stay which is terrific, he will bang them in provided fully fit, and Topp will be fit for pre-season.

Optimistic!

Providing Omar doesn't befall the same fate that Donovan Ricketts did...

Theye were excellent at VP. Was Perkins as good last night as he was at VP? He's the best midfielder I've seen in this division

He was good last night, didn't run the show like he practically did at VP, but he gave our midfield a bit of a run-around at times as they had the upper hand in the middle of the park.

I'd be more optimistic if that actually happened!

Jeez, that first half tonight was abysmal.

I left at half-time and got home 5 minutes into the second half of the Liverpool/Arsenal game, I know we got a draw but I daresay I didn't miss much.
