A change of style is unlikely to occur with the current management.
I think we should change our style.
Oh Mick, that is so witty please post more of these insightful comments!
Mr Clever Mick!

Maybe not. If it was someone like Sheffield United or Notts County, i.e. potentially big clubs with history and pedigree then I'd agree. But Stevenage are a traditionally non-league outfit with limited support who are punching well above their weight. The cycle won't last. Plus he has the hero worship factor and the fact that he won't have to try very hard to win the fans over down here. He may stay.
In fairness we did play the ball on the ground far more when he arrived. I don't remember us punting the ball over his head much against Cheltenham, Barnet or Macclesfield. He and Harris linked up extremely well in those games. Obviously the Crewe game was another matter but we were ****e all round that night.I think he is lost in this team anyway. Our style of play does not suit him.
Unless we are thinking of a change in style, then he may as well move on elsewhere, where he is used to his strengths (Balls in to feet 30 yards from goal)

Surely Stevenage can't offer him more than we can in terms of ££££££
It comes down to if Freddy wants to stay
Money should not be the major factor certainly verses Stevenage.
Even if we paid 5k a week thats 260k. We get him for nothing and if he is on a 2/3 year contract we would expect recoup at least most of the wages in the transfer market if we needed to- and that even before you get to the attendance argument.
You can build a business case, it has great marketing value to the fans and we are assured Mr Lockett is a fine businessman.
So in summary I am sure he and PS can work this one out and its all down to if Freddy wants to stay.
Freddy may well say look I'll sign for 2 years but will have a clause in my contract that if we dont get promoted I can go if a club offers 150k or more. That way worst case we got him for 2k a week...really its not complicated if (maybe its a big if) we wanted to happen.
