    How many points clear at the top of the table would we be if they’d stayed?

    Quite so, Donks. Could we not have matched Luton's offer and sent ourselves back up as champions, even if it meant a hefty loss for one year?

    I think the state of the club’s finances was too grim to contemplate keeping any of the top earners, then you’d have the issue of unhappy players etc. But I’m convinced they’d have been on 20 goals each by now.

    20 goals EACH?? Someone's been on the sherry early.

    Assuming Morris was fit enough to play every game, which is a bit of a stretch.

    I think I've seen a Barnsley striker score 20 league goals once. Sam Winnall in 2015-16. Two getting 20 by Christmas is some prediction.

    I’m working on the Devante Cole multiplier principle. He has scored 7 in 20 games, and Morris / Woodrow are both 3 times better than him.

    Ashley Ward scored 15 before he was sold, and we were only mid-table.

    "The Devante Cole Multiplier Principle". Actually sounds like a proper statistical law!

    Im sure we all realise and have seen that spending money we dont have doesnt guarantee promotion or success. Lots of other clubs have tried and failed.
    Supporting a football team is for life with ups and downs along the way, no rush, stay in business and try to compete.
    We are going the right way and its been a good enough season so far.

    Bang on. If that theory worked Sheff Wed would be champions of Europe by now. There are absolutely no guarantees other than a club like ours being given little to no leeway by creditors. We're doing fine.

    I think there’s a difference between speculatively splashing the cash on new signings, and retaining existing talent.

    In our case, I don’t think either was a realistic option.

    A Barnsley fan asks his Dad what's the difference between Theory and Reality, Dad sez go an ask your Mother if she'd sleep with the neighbour for a Million buck's,

    After a short while the Lad returns an sez, yes she would, but i still do'nt understand the difference between Theory an Reality,

    In Theory we could be Millionaires, but in Reality we live with a Whore.

    I don't think Morris would be the only one who fitness would be in doubt hasn't cauley been injured this season aswell as long spells out last season with us?

    Two well taken goals by Morris, one in each half, to move Luton up to 5th.

    Woodrow has just some on in the 58th minute.

    I wonder what Morris's current market value is. Really hoping we had a decent sell-on.
