York fans forum gives Mitch glowing references. Lots of other players should go instead.

The only detractions seem to be that there's more gifted footballers out there - but that's absolutely not what we're signing him for - and let's face it, he's got to be better than Joey Jones.

Sounds like he has a similar game to Isaac. Ideal.

Welcome Mitch and good luck!

I've decided to give up on providing my own thoughts seeing as I:

(a) thought a Tuesday postponement might be good for the lads; and
(b) would have dropped Alex Newby due to his more recent flat form

I do see the merits of both systems - regardless of which we pick, I think Matty Kosylo needs to be dropped down to the bench again now, we can't have him picking up bookings every first half. So expect him to feature in the National League's team of the week come Sunday afternoon...

Whether that means Dan Mooney having a go from the start in a 4231, or Roscoe coming into the back line and having Alex/Justin running off CCC, I've no thoughts either way.

Very impressed with George Wilson - I did think he was being introduced to the fold too soon - and we can't ignore the fact that York would probably make most midfielders look like Modric in his prime - however the game could only have done wonders for him and a few other lads.

Let's face it, we were never going to carry on that blistering run of form to the end of the season - even Chesterfield have had quite a dramatic drop in form.

There was always going to be a bad patch of form somewhere, so I'm clinging to the positive that we timed ours really well and we're going to come roaring into the playoffs with fresh momentum.

One can hope!

I wouldn't normally say this, but perhaps the lads could do with a postponement to properly re-group.

Some of the decision making this season has been shocking:

- not taking a game in that FA Cup weekend, where we could have played Hartlepool when they were a very different prospect to the one we played - and thus relieving this heavy period of one midweek game

- not giving the Trophy a go as a result

- taking expensive punts on players that weren't necessarily hugely needed at the time we got them (Crankshaw, Mooney) that could have gone to better causes now we truly need it

- I hope to God I'm proven wrong... but hanging fire on Alex Newby for a bit longer...?

- who knows... maybe we weren't that keen on getting the Southend game played either (although I'd be amazed if that wasn't just Southend causing mischief

- but the biggest was throwing the baby out with the bathwater after the Aldershot defeat - we all accepted that was an off day against a dangerous team, but everything that's followed has been dreadful.
