Bit surprised there's been no comment on extension of Keyes contract for another year - while maybe not as eye-catching as a new signing think it's great that we've secured probably our most influential player until end of 2024. It's also a pleasing change that we now have five of our best players in JWH, Jouffret, Keyes, Walmsley and Tibbs tied up for 2 years, in line with remainder of Grix's contract, something I'm sure Grix has had a big say in. This continuity is not something we've had in the recent past but is something you'd hope would have a positive influence on performances- particularly towards the end of a season when players are often more concerned with their next move/club.

Great news.
Not many of Joe's ability and experience in the Championship and still at the right age for the next couple of years and beyond.
