Unfortunately, if he gets a new deal, that means we won't be improving this defence in the summer, because all the slots will be filled.

And I think that's going to be a problem.

Yeah, that’s the worry.

No issue with a contract as a backup/rotation option but we know that’s not how we operate.

We’ll play him week in, week out and run him into the ground, eventually looking to loan a Prem youngster in Jan when he inevitably gets injured.

Love the bloke and he’s really stepped up this season at LCB but if we’re serious in this division, we need better and younger.

Woodburn and Onomah as well. We'll see if they accept lower terms and if not simply move on to the next 1 year freebie squad filler.

Surely Woodburn is not on more than a perfunctory £5k-type wage?
 
I like all our 'senior' players - Cunningham, Hughes, Browne, D.J. Evans. I'd keep them all on sensible money / rolling contracts etc. However, if your keeping them, let them have an input, I just have a feeling that R.L. doesn't like being challenged or is willing to listen. He's the boss and he knows best.
 
Cunningham has been a great servant, but we need better if we are going to push the club forward. The fact that people of wanting a new deal for him shows the bad shape the club is in. Ledson and Lindsay also shouldn’t have been given new deals for me

Please pay attention as to what's happening within the club.... Push forward? Have you had a bump on the head?

Fully aware of the situation, budgets being cut, owners just happy with Championship survival. But with this being said I would hope that he football management side still want to push the club forward and improve the quality of the squad.

Giving players like Cunningham, Ledson and Lindsay new deals will not improve the quality of the squad. Surely better players out there even with budget cuts.

The reality will be Cunningham will get an extension, as well as Woodburn and maybe Onomah.

Perhaps Bauer will move on

Cunningham is not a starter when all are fit but he is good experienced cover for injuries.However, If he is on around £13k a week, then I am sure that there are cheaper, younger and potentially better players available.
Also, as stated elsewhere, we don’t want all our current defenders contracted for next season as it limits our opportunity to improve the defence.

Greg will get a new contract as we won't pay money for a better replacement!

We'll probably offer him one but whether he signs it is another matter. He's left once previously for better terms so there's no guarantee that he'd stay. Given his fitness concerns then a 1 year deal should be the maximum offered but even then it leaves us needing to ship out either Bauer or Storey to provide room for a right-back who can cover at RCB.

Cunningham's doing his coaching badges but given how Gally is already sat on the bench, John Welsh is/was in the youth set-up and Ched is also being touted as a future coach he might feel longer term he has no pathway at the club so might decide to drop down a division and try his luck elsewhere.

I don’t think he was dodgy at all, there was nothing he could do other than go for the interception, it was pretty much a goal whatever he did.

Totally... the matchday thread made out that he'd made an absolute howler. I could barely believe the reality when I saw the video.

And furthermore, the ball seems to either flick Lindsay's toe, or take a small bobble as the ball was zipping across, which may have been small but would have changed the ball's trajectory, making it impossible for Greg to adjust and reach the ball properly. Either way, absolutely zero blame.

If I were Wigan's striker, I would be appealing to the dubious goals committee because I think the goal should be credited to their lad.
