Lehman was so distraught after the Inter defeat he walked straight out of the stadium and threw himself in front of a bus. Fortunately the bus passed right under him...

Not a particularly public subject, but yes Steve T does appear to have an option for getting some first team footy with another club in Div 2. As with anybody who's playing for us at the moment I don't particularly want to see him go, but though his chances of getting first team footy have increased with Harry going, they've also taken a knock by the fact that we won't see too many comfortable victories this season, or shouldn't see too many bad defeats either, either of which would have been ideal opportunities to give him a run out. As most games are going to be hard fought and close, the chances of me subbing Neil or Dave from the striker positions are limited at best, as both can conjur up goals from nowhere. Steve is considering the option of loaning himself out to get some actual game experience, as we all know how valuable that can be. If that happens, he will still be considered a part of the club and will still be welcome to training, drinks after games etc. Whereas if any of the midfield leave, they can go fook themselves. Tough decision, so I hope you'll all respect whatever direction he chooses to go, I wouldn't want to be facing the same decision myself, but to be part of an improving squad you need to improve and it's tough to do that when you're not getting games.

I suppose you could say he's considering playing for the other team. Cannot believe I just wrote that.

In all seriousness, try to give him your support while he's coming to a decision, he's a good bloke in a tough spot. I'm going to stop writing now
