Id go with this. Argument for Digie over Mularkey who I have thought has looked a bit out of his depth the last few months.

Mooney fades too quickly when he starts so I would go with Kosylo and bring Mooney on if we are a goal down.

Need to be much more positive and just have a go at them. Grimsby appear to be sh*t too. Going for a grim 1-1 draw.

Disappointed that we've given Stockport the end of the pop side. It changes the game in the first half if we're down there. We've waited so long with the ground restrictions to be down there, it's a real kick in the teeth.

2 arguments to it. It does give them an advantage due to extra numbers and ability to be louder. However we would unlikely sell out if the home fans had that section too. So.from a financial point of view it makes sense

Just had a look in the OT. Crikey. I think I'll stay in here thanks but will say a couple of things.

Firstly Hugh, you understand it's a RESPIRATORY VIRUS... right? Can you understand that much? The tennis lad was more likely to be suffering longer term effects of COVID than adverse effects to the vaccine. If he got Omicron in early December then I'm sure he'll be suffering to exercise like I am - this stuff is serious.

So the vaccines don't work, right?

Let's break the scientific reports into footballing analogy (fair play to Amsterdam Alty for trying).

Being vaccinated is like United having De Gea in goal against City, rather than the youth goalie. You might still lose, but it will be 2-0 instead of 5-0. Hey, if you're lucky you might keep a clean sheet. But it's better than sticking in a youth goalie and hoping for the best.

Secondly, quoting Joey Barton as a voice of reason isn't quite the 'gotcha' you think it is 

Didn't know there was an Other topics section here. Nore will I ever visit that again after the nonsense I have just read.


Hoping for a Striker to be announced tonight. I assume it is Hulme which is a good option that should stop the rot. On a downer though I would have liked us to go for someone younger and new. Carver or Charman would have been good shouts, although I suspect Charman would be out of our reach with some of the attention he has been getting.

Postponed. Never mind.

A good shopping list would be;
1) another tall centre back (Digie is ok but I'd prefer a better footballer like Sass-Davies).
2) yes, a horrible, mobile midfielder definitely (that has been very obvious this week).
3) a centre forward who can look after themselves and at least make the opposing centre halves feel they've been in a game.

Not easily attainable, but these 3 players would completely alter our fortunes.

Think that's harsh on Digie. Looked decent and can't think of a time he gave the ball away against Wrexham. We have missed a big strong brute in defense for some time. I would say a left back is a must. Fitzpatrick isn't good enough and Hampson is only fit for half the season.

A centre forward is a must and we need to get it right, whether its Hulme or someone we have never heard of it has to be right this time.

If we get 7 points from those three games I'll be surprised.
Utterly delighted but surprised.

We have already seen what Torquay are about, Barnet are clearly nothing special. If we get the ball down we can beat Torquay and get a point at Barnet. We should be beating Kings Lynn. No reason why we shouldn't be getting 7 points.

We need to let the Jordan Hulme thing go.

Ian Henderson is quite an interesting short-term shout - I watched him a lot at Rochdale and hadn't realised he'd fallen down the pecking order at Salford (assuming that's what's happened given their recruitment policy). Lives locally, looks after himself and quite mobile, would probably be closer to what we've missed in Jordan than other options so far.

spot on . We need to focus on realistic targets . Chris senior for example . Never mentioned on here . Frustrating me

I believe Chris Senior is full time at Darlington. So doubt we could get him. What about Chris Denham?
