DD, I can see your point, a lot of players do this but I honestly think if he had stayed we would be pushing Burnley not chasing the play off scraps. No disrespect to teams in the zone but achieving promotion via the play offs is never satisfactory and feels like crumbs from the top table.

Players over the years have left us thinking their better than us or their careers will go further leaving us than it would with us only to find they would have been better staying put. I only hope the academy players can look at the players that left and flopped and realise they can build a career and team here with us.

Alex and Josh are at the beginning of their careers and are doing very well but I feel Sam would have bred more confidence in the defence and those draws would have been wins, on the plus side the results got rid of dinosaur football and Bruce.

Normally we agree 4ever, but I am with Dingle on this one, as much as I would like to see him back, he ran his contract down got a big signing fee, because he wanted bigger and better well, now he has bigger and better, so let him enjoy (watching) it, unless he comes back on a free. Even then it begs the question of what message that sends to our up and coming players and what president it sets for other first team players. In all honesty I can see him staying in the Prem anyway.
