I'd bring him back (in Jan I guess) just to get him away from human toilet Joey Barton.

I don't know what we've paid to loan Muniz and his wages? I imagine a fecking small fortune. Throw in the best part of 5mil for Hoppe and Forss (without wages).
Nobody can tell me any of the 3 above have been better than Coburn last season? Definitely not in terms of minutes and goals per game ratio.
I'd rather 'develop' Coburn than Muniz as similer ages. Yet one's costing us a fortune and the other is our player out on loan on 'buttons' by comparison.

I hope when we get the chance to pack him off - Muniz can go back to Fulham.
Im beginning to think that for all his whingeing - Wilder never used any contacts to help get players in - an just kept his head facing the cash being flashed in his face at other clubs.
Goodness, we`ve paid out for some duds!

Derby County - Home Attendances This Season:
Quite impressive for Division Three, although they are down by approximately 5k on average compared to last season in the Championship. It has to be noted that Sheffield Wednesday had just over 22,000 last night for the visit of Bristol Rovers, who also played in front of a crowd of 18,800 at Portsmouth. Bolton also played at home in front of 22,000 against the Owls and almost 17,200 against Morcambe!!!! Its astonishing some of the crowds in EFL League 2.

Bristol Rovers Attendances - Home and Away [22/23 Season]:
Considering Rovers share Bristol with The Robins of Ashton Gate - they were promoted in May from the old Division Four and are experiencing a relatively good season. Average Rovers home gates in the league are around 8,400.

Joey Barton makes Derby County vow and declares the future's bright for youthful Bristol Rovers
Joey Barton insists Bristol Rovers will be on the front foot when they visit Pride Park to face Derby County in League One on Saturday, backed by more than 3,000 travelling Gasheads.A post-match Twitter message from Joey Barton is part of his routine. Usually, four match action images and some words of wisdom are shared, but this time the content was a bit more revealing of the inner workings of Bristol Rovers' dressing room.
This time, there were three pictures of a 1-1 draw at Sheffield Wednesday, accompanied by a snap of a flip chart from the away changing room at Hillsborough. Listed are a mix of principles, tactical demands and affirmations of the belief he has in his squad – and it is no wonder he forms such a tight bond with his players when he uses terms like "superstar" and "unique" to describe them.
But there were more meaningful words there which have underpinned Rovers' rapid development as a team in League One this season. A simple reminder that "attack is the best form of defence" scrawled on the A2 piece of paper in green marker pen amidst the rest of the messages sums up this Gas team perfectly.
So with a quickfire turnaround and a trip to Derby County's Pride Park less than 48 hours away, when they will be joined by more than 3,000 Gasheads – what Barton has described as Premier League-level following – the Gas are full of confidence and the manager insists they will not be taking a backwards step.
"We had the lads watch their game and Exeter got a solid point there (on Tuesday), but we must take enormous confidence into it," Barton said. "Derby are a big club, a big side, but we’ve just played first and third in the division and I think anyone at those games would say we stood toe-to-toe and were more than a match for them.
"We’ll go to Derby and we’ll play our way and we’ll attack them because why would we not?

"They’ve had a couple go off, I think James Chester went off on Tuesday and Curtis Davies went off in the game on Friday. They’ve been playing a back three of late and that might be subject to change, I’m not sure.
"But we’ll be focusing on us and we feel if we get us right, we’re more than a match for anybody. We’ll pay Derby the respect they are due by preparing for them the same way we’d prepare for any team, but there will be no fear attached to us and we’ll be looking to put a great performance on again in front of incredible travelling support for League One.
[Rovers fans have been travelling in their thousands to away games this season]"But we’ll be focusing on us and we feel if we get us right, we’re more than a match for anybody. We’ll pay Derby the respect they are due by preparing for them the same way we’d prepare for any team, but there will be no fear attached to us and we’ll be looking to put a great performance on again in front of incredible travelling support for League One.
"I’ve seen it is 3,000, they are Premier League numbers so hopefully we can give them a victory and make some more memories."
The Rams are 10th in the standings with Paul Warne now in charge, replacing Liam Rosenior during the international break. They have taken just one point from their past two games, drawing with Exeter City on Tuesday after losing to second-placed Ipswich Town on Friday.
Rovers' season has been transformed in the blink of an eye. After winning just twice in their opening 10 league games, a relegation battle could not be ruled out, but the end of an injury crisis has allowed players to bed in and a youthful team is blossoming.
The average age of Barton's starting XI at Hillsborough on Tuesday was 24.3 years old and they have strung together a six-game unbeaten run in League One with three draws against teams in the top seven and a trio of victories. They have risen to 14th in the table as a result, but the standings are so congested that if their momentum continues they will make further strides.
Despite a chastening start to the season, Barton insists his confidence never wavered and he believes the future is bright for the Gas.
"You grow stage by stage, but I’ve always retained this confidence," he added. "When we won two out of 10, I swear to you I didn’t lose any sleep.
"It was difficult, but because we have a fantastic owner… I said to, maybe it’s time for me to offer my resignation again which was a little bit tongue-in-cheek. But when you know you’ve got an owner’s support in terms of he really believes in what you’re doing as a culture, it allows you to make the right decisions for the short term because we want to be successful, but also medium to long term.
"People are forgetting how young our team is out there. They (Sheffield Wednesday) are a team of men, a group of men who are paid an awful lot more than our players, but our player will come on so much for that experience.
"The future is bright for the Gas and we keep building. When I came here, it was to create special memories and take these fans on an incredible journey and inch by inch, brick by brick, we’re starting to do that.
"Derby on Saturday, Sheffield Wednesday, Plymouth – they are great occasions and occasions we want to be involved in and long may it continue."
