Re: Take your Mac to Fleetwood. Away 07-12-21. 7-45.

Fleetwood are playing Accrington away tomorrow. Let's hope for a hard game on a heavy pitch to tire them out. They lost 5-1 to Accrington today with 10 men after 23 minutes, looks like you got your wish! I wonder what it feels like to get battered away at Accrington having had a man sent off early ...

Re: Sprats v Mackerels..V Fleetwood at home. 31-11-21. 7 O'clock

We did what we needed to do and we did it without picking up any additional injuries. That's what tonight was about and it's good enough for me.

Re: January 2022 Transfer Thread

Linked with buying Cole Stockton now, be ruing not going after him in the summer if we have to pay a fee. https://t.co/bR0EoSju3H We tried to sign him in the summer. 100%. Whether he turned us down or it was down to money I wonder if this is just a hold over story from then or whether there is genu...

Re: January 2022 Transfer Thread

I've noticed the No. 28 from yesterday is out of contract in January. I'd need to see more of him but if his performance yesterday is his standard he might be worth looking at.

Is Doyle playing with an injury?
Don't think he's been the same player since The 'Rona.

I think it might have more to do with age than anything else. I do also think he's been rushed back from injury, though.

Re: More Tin Pot Than Gold Cup - Jockeying For Position vs Cheltenham At Home (3pm 27/11/21)

In the context of what had happened both before and during the match - injury crisis; only two viable substitution options, neither of which were particularly inspiring; up against in-form opposition; coming back from a goal down twice, etc. - I'd genuinely rank that as the performance of the season...

Re: More Tin Pot Than Gold Cup - Jockeying For Position vs Cheltenham At Home (3pm 27/11/21)

It's desperately disappointing to concede so late after fighting our way back into it and having the better of them for a good period. The tactical switch was nedded because Johnston looked like a centre half playing in midfield before it. We need to get a grip on their No. 28 because he's playing i...

Re: Dem Bones, Dem Bones, Dem Bare Bones....

The thing is, it's not like we were massively short in Edward's and Senior's positions. We just need anyone we can get now. At the time they left we were all positive to see them getting football. This has been a snowball of shite....a shitball. Interestingly, Senior seems to consider himself a mar...

He played for his parent club before signing on loan. Players can only play for two clubs during one season (the rule was temporarily relaxed during COVID but I presume it's now been reinstated).

We won at their place didn’t we? That marvelous last minute Ryan Delaney winner, our only goal celebrated by a fan inside the ground all season… Will be happy with a point, not distraught if we lose. Anything but another injury / suspension. We did. To the delight of the few supporters lucky enough...

Re: Exchanging Corn...V Doncaster at home, 23/11/21 8 'O clock.

I'm not advocating we become a team that habitually "bangs it in behind" but doing so a couple of times usually makes defenders drop deep, giving you more space to play. And if the lad collects the ball and whacks it in the onion bag, we'd accept that, right? Indeed. It'll be a nice alternative to ...

Re: Dem Bones, Dem Bones, Dem Bare Bones....

If we are really desperate can we not register Sam Hird as a player to fill a spot on the bench ?, or can that not be done outside of the transfer windows ? He's probably not fit but he's only just turned 34 and played last season for Barrow and can play CB & DM - surely he could play 10-15 mins sh...

Re: Exchanging Corn...V Doncaster at home, 23/11/21 8 'O clock.

A good, professional performance with a number of players contributing well. I'm wary of taking too much from it because they looked near certainties for relegation but considering the severity of our injury crisis it wasn't difficult to envisage it being a difficult night for us and in the end we w...

Re: Exchanging Corn...V Doncaster at home, 23/11/21 8 'O clock.

Still five subs in the FA Cup. 3 in EFL. I suppose the argument against making all your subs early is what if you get an injury - which would be very on-brand right now… I wouldn't necessarily have made them quite so early but if we maintain this three-goal cushion I'd like to see Lee come off as s...

Let's have plenty of substitutions between now and full-time please, Ian.
We’ve only got one left.

I hadn't realised the five substituions rule has been scrapped.
