I’m inclined to agree - with the contracts of the likes of Turnbull, McWilliams, Pollock, Morgan Roberts, Andy Williams, Oliver, Cornell and Hoskins all expiring in June it might be an idea to get some of them tied down.
I agree entirely. If only to increase their value if they move on in the Summer.
The current plan on performance is going well.
So, the one position that needs that extra investment is a solid, street-wise Centre-Back (or two!). Not someone who needs time to bed-in, but, someone up and ready. Although we have Williams and Hughes coming through, old-heads will be needed for the promotion push.
We need to be wary that the performances of Wharton have him in the frame for an early recall by Blackburn.
Maybe a cheeky loan bid for Richard Stearman, with a clause to sign him permanently after we get promoted?
