i understand Suttons desire to play and although....

hes probably made alot of money so far during his career, he needs to support his family as a footballers isnt as long as an accountants. I would place the majority of blame with Worthy, as a target man is a postion he has identified us needing, the player is available and keen to play, is a fans favourite, so with that would be the ideal candidate. Worthy baffles me.

Saying all this it will be sods law that Earnie will now get 20 goals this season, Thorne will get 15, McKenzie and Jarvis 10-15!!!!!!
