Unfortunately you are right SaltergateBorn, I used to play in a goalmouth in which I had to be reintroduced to the whole notion of grass at the beginning and end of the season.
Can you remember Derby's great footballing side getting anchored in the quagmire of the Baseball Ground? Pitches aren't all grass these days though are they?
I must also agree the options with Ched were always strange. If he couldn't get back to league level we were facing the wrath and mockery of fans everywhere for even giving him a chance. Now he looks the real deal again, depending on the outcome of his court case, we may have a player we can't afford to keep beyond the transfer window as we have him on a one-year contract. We could offer him an improved two year deal NOW that has no mention of the outcome of his retrial with a release trigger of say £2.5 million so he'd know he could get away in the summer even if he'd put us in the Championship. And that, of course, would betray any principles we have left.
Personally I think sell him to Huddersfield - I want to see Amelia and Snoot's reaction.
