I think IM will be waiting to see which league we are playing in next season before tying down players or releasing them

Question is,if we were fortunate to win the play offs how many players are capable of handling the step up


That's the key point, Vinnie. Personally, I'd see Matthews as a great squad player/option in a Premier survival battle or a Championship promotion push. Easton less so 8n Premier, but equally in Championship

I mean, would it be a surprise if at some point a conversation was had between Murray and Matthews with the gaffer saying something along the lines of….”Get some games, prove your fitness and we will talk contracts at end of season”?

I want Matthews to stay like most but you can’t blame Murray for being cautious with a player who has hardly played in the two years he’s been here!

Since Murray arrived we have played 70 league games, Matthews has started 6 of them all of which in the last 7 weeks!

In FFP, IM says contract talks for all out- of - contract players on hold until we know what league we are in and even Rossco isn't certain to be with us next season. Some (perhaps ? )reassuring words about Rossco, but nothing is certain.

It's a tricky one for me, not been involved for such a long time and was he a stand out when he returned, I think not, so it's a case of head or heart. Unfortunately football business is all head over heart. Can he give us something we don't have going forward, not so sure. If you are a tech driven manager you might want to look at his stats and how much he can improve. If you are a performance driven manager you would have to have questions about his future.
Still 50/50 for me, total redemption of course would be outstanding performances in the playoffs culminating with him scoring the goal that takes us up, unfortunately heart usually loses in these cases.
