Yeah, the pitch & the forecast no doubt a big concern. Plus side is it’s over 2 weeks since we last had a home match & I believe we’ve borrowed some heat lamps off Stoke for the especially dodgy patch in front of the main stand. The forecast tomorrow well known & we’ve had time to prepare plus it should stop at least 3-3.5 hrs before KO so gives us some time to work on it.

As part of the pitch crew, Stoke haven’t lent us any lamps.
Who told you they have ?

Well, someone certainly has. See the post on the Facebook group earlier today.

We've bought it second hand and it's just arrived.

Bad news indeed.

Does beg the question of where Byrnes position in club is.

Surly he could be loaned out as hes cleary not in the plans

I'm sure Ollie Byrne will be on the released list in the summer - he just wasn't good enough, it's as simple as that. He's still young and will hopefully be happy somewhere else.

I made prayers to the main gods of each religion he was signed by Rochdale. I think they heard, but checked the wrong cork city keeper on transfermarkt.

Huge tbh, I'm in agreement with Phil that Eddy is the best LB in the league, and Baines is easily in the top 10 in the NL at CB.

Next Isaac on an year extension. In my opinion, he is the best ball winning midfielder in the league and should be on most clubs radar.

Hoping there will be a few this Jan tbh.

From those most likely to be expiring this summer(?) my priorities would be Jake Cooper, Isaac Marriott, Elliott Osborne and Regan Linney. Don't think I've missed any other obvious ones...?

Marriott is under contract till the summer of 2025.

Still not long enough.

I'd be looking to keep everyone on a 2 year contract now we know we'd like to improve the squad over rebuilding.

Such a bizarre move this one - I just can't understand who would have sanctioned it (although the top brass at United are clearly clueless at the best of times).

Surely there must have been a club hovering around the League Two playoffs that would have been quite happy to take him - or even Salford given they're better placed to pull away from the bottom over the coming weeks. Feels similar to when Toby left us scratching our heads when he went to Rochdale.

They pulled it off last year as well, grabbing that long haired ponce from Macc's lad. Like a cesspool of teams I dislike that one, Macc, FGR, Utd. Full sh*t sandwich.

If we don't play Mooney against the team that he's just abandoned so he can score the winner and cause a merry hell, I'd be very surprised

Tonight's performance shows that we are a very good team but we can't afford to be complacent. Oldham and Rochdale are behind us and are big threats. If we want this, I feel we must beat Rochdale next Tuesday - a huge game.

Rochdale have no keeper since their lad was recalled to go to warm the bench at Northampton instead. Decent timing with no other senior keeper on their books.

I think we were robbed by fate tonight, Ethan saves the first goal just by the virtue of being larger. The second was a great goal, but again, I wonder about the lost height.

Other than that it was just your run of the mill top of the table clash between the best two teams in the league. Standard Alty stuff.

Woking, whatever season was before the year we opened with a 4:3 win vs Rushden & Diamonds.

I think 95/96, I went to Preston in the FA cup the season after as well I think

If they paid 750k for Luke Williams to go there, I'd expect we'd get 7figures for CCC.

It would be a stark rise in wages for him as well, so I'd not blame him for one second, we wouldn't be talking a 50 quid bump in a move like that.

We could even push harder for more money now, less sell on if we wanted to avoid the Watmore gamble that didn't pay off.

I don't think it's true, but if we do get an offer that gives Chris such a huge opportunity and lines our pockets very well it would be in all parties interests to get it done.
