Yeah over 8k isn't it? Can't really see a shed boy through and through going to Hibs even if it was for relatively better money. If I was Ross I'd be asking for a decent wedge and as guaranteed as you could starting place. He bloody deserves it.

Interesting that Goodwin has pointed out in the media today that Walton has another year left on his contract at Luton? Most sites have him listed as out of contract in June.

Graham, Moult, Wotherspoon, Meekison, Mochrie and try and sign Walton plus whatever else we'll need

I think Walton will be a competent enough keeper in the premier. He's played at least a season in the English championship plus other appearances in English lower leagues. He'll be absolutely fine.

Him and Graham have struck up a good partnership last few games. Doesn't seem to be that slow but he's definitely in the mould of no nonsense defender who clears most of what comes his way. He might not be that great when facing pacier forwards in the prem but he's been good this far.

Would be happy for us to bid 100k or similar for him. Young with potential and we should just go for it putting him and Graham in from the start of the season and building the partnership further. Gallagher for experienced back up plus another would be fine for the prem. There's no expectation from me for next season other than not going straight back down. Don't really want to see the club over extend with cash in chasing a dream and putting us in a precarious position. If we can get Walton back, and make some astute signings that keep us up and give a platform to build on I'll be a happy man. If we get top 6 then that will be great, not expecting cup wins and rainbows though. There will be a section of the support that's got some serious dissonance between expectations and reality and I'm not looking forward to the inevitable knifes out of things aren't going well.

Are we all ready for the chairman's message now

Wasn't able to get to the game but watched it. Felt like United (the home team) controlled it without being especially dangerous. A nervy performance. Good to get it settled though and a massive relief. Credit to Goodwin he's got us up first time of asking and that's all we can really ask for.

Lean towards this myself but feel like we would need to offer Archie a 2 year deal, send him on loan and see how he gets on. That's good news but we definitely need another striker. Definitely. An able squad player at worst.

Sibbald is a given, he's had a years extension triggered. Mental to think Graham is out of contract but he'll be easy to sort no doubt given he's absolutely shedded out his nut. Moult I'd definitely keep because at worst he's a squad player in the prem if he's not firing on all cylinders. I'd get rid of the young trio of midfielders, maybe keep one of them at a push but for their sake I think it's time they moved on.

Was nice to catch all the goals on the telly before heading to work. Broadfoot is a total thug and needs sent to the glue farm. Hopefully a 3 match ban on the cards for the twat.

He went for power and the keeper was equal to it. Not sure it was a bad pen as much as it was a good save.

So some interesting points raised on twitter I've seen. I'm no way calling the league wrapped up now but I do think we get another 2 or 3 wins that's it. I think Raith will be utterly deflated after last night but Morton will be a tough tough game on Friday. In fact I think it's our biggest game of the season, we win and it's all but assured I reckon as the pressure on Raith the next day will be immense. Now Goodwin has been levelled a fair bit of criticism over the season but with the last few games he's changed things (although the injuries to Holt and Gallagher have forced his hand in this) I do wonder if he'll be reflecting on that and seek how much the reduction of passing between the defenders held us back for long periods. If we win another 3 games that puts us on a very respectable points tally for the season with a brilliant goal difference. If we go up first time are we gonna jettison Goodwin at the first instance or will we persevere? I'm totally on the fence about it, I think he's capable enough but needs to improve to cut it in the premier as a manager. Not sure if a bigger budget would be a help or hindrance to him. When we go up we'll likely need a decent goalie (although Walton might be persuaded to join perm I'm not sure he'll be the answer in the league above) and would a pairing of Graham and Gallagher cut it? So many players out of contract and lots to consider for the next season.

Especially when both are in remarkably similar positions to each other. Those in glass houses and all that.

Can't see any info any where got a link?
