Tomorrow will tell us a lot, Birmingham will be a tough test for sure. I am not convinced the current midfield 3 is tough enough for the heat of the battle, hope they prove me wrong and give us a midfield masterclass.

Although Clucas signed a new deal, it would not surprise me if he left before the window ended for a fee, leaving us even more wriggle room. Would be absolutely astonished if that happened He was very publicly available on a free this summer Clearly no one wanted to pay the money he was on Any manager paying a fee for him now when they could have had him for nothing should be sacked on the spot I suppose that depends on what his wages were before the contract renegotiation and what they are now.

He's got another year so presumably his side of the deal was a pay cut None the less he wouldn't have signed if the money wasn't still good.

He might be more affordable to someone and more likely to move for an extra £5k a week here or there. The way he played on Tuesday though it didn't look good business other than a wage reduction. He left Alfie hanging several times, he should have bossed that midfield with his age and experience and yet everyone is talking about a 20yo on loan at Grimsby last year who can't make the Fleetwood first team. I'd give Porter his subs place tomorrow without blinking.
