Can't see him leaving midterm. Close season, possibly.
If he's allowed to leave in this window, we can kiss goodbye to any thoughts of the play offs or success in the Trophy imho.
Certainly not to a Carlisle side who could very well be joining us in the NL next year (unless, of course, we win the play offs)! 😉

Parky said on Pastries yesterday there were no offers currently, but he did add the caveat, that if the right bid came in and Regan wanted to leave then the club would not stand in his way. I assume Regan would ideally want to go up to at least D1 not to a relegation threatened club and also one that was going to allow him to play and not warm the bench.

Even if he ended up getting relegated back to this level, he'd be doing so whilst earning 2-3x the amount of money, and playing in front of 2-3x more fans every week.

That didn't really work out very well for Dan Mooney, though.

True. But I don't think it helped that he moved away from home though, and he was also nowhere near as good as Regan let's face it.

I think Regan will have plenty of suitors in the north west and Carlisle isn't the worst for him as a Preston lad. I can't see him being interested in Bromley but I suppose nothing surprises me in football these days.

Fair point Cult. They managed all of 63 away fans on a Saturday in August so it will not impact the travelling support whether it is a fiver or twenty quid.

But I wonder if we can evidence what the difference in attendance could be at say 20 vs 12 or something. I do not think making it 15 as opposed to 20 would make enough of a difference to potential home fan numbers TBQH to justify doing it. If you are going to reduce you need to go all in to make it closer to 12 or something to massively boost the home attendance & ensure it is not a slightly larger attendance but actually for smaller gate receipts.

I think two yellow ones are a one match ban, straight reds a three - but I could well be mistaken (or imagined it!) 😏 😊

Yes. Take that. At this stage very few easy games left, so at home to a side of a very similar level to us is absolutely fine. Reckon a reduction in the price might be an idea with the many home (and local away) games coming up. Eastleigh are not going to attract the local floaters in at 20 quid a pop.

Agree that a reduction in the price would be welcome, but it's not a unilateral decision. Eastleigh would surely have to sanction it.

Would love to see a front 4 of Kossy, Weaver, Newby and Linney. Crankshaw and Reddin options to come on.

Was Kosylo's suspension for three matches or merely a single game?

No word from the club.

Feel we need to be more brave for the rest of the season. I would much prefer us going for it, rather than reserved tactics.

Weaver deserves a run of games. Won?t see his potential with the odd 5 mins here and there.

The LB from Preston looked quick. Golden has done really well, but I personally feel we miss a left foot. Balances us out.

It's going to freeze fairly hard over the next couple of days and I doubt the temperatures will get high enough at any point to thaw it out sufficiently.

Shame, the forecast earlier in the week showed it to be a good few degrees above freezing on Friday night but it looks like it'll be down to zero again.

Pitch has stood up brilliantly to a real battering by the rain in the recent weeks but snow and sub-zero temperatures might be too much. Not until Sunday it begins to warm up and it will not get above 1-2c on Saturday daytime. Therefore I think even at this early stage it will be 50/50 at best. Fingers crossed though. IF it is on then we really need to go back to back home wins with Wealdstone and Maidenhead to get our play off bid back on track. Wealdstone have let in 3 goals in each of their last 3 away matches and obviously lost Alex Reid from the original game so I would be confident.

Player wise I would assume a very similar XI to Barnet. Kossy still suspended and maybe Weaver back on the bench but cannot see any need for major changes. Lots of games coming up. Bickerstaff and Nutall both impressed last Saturday so decent attacking options. Wonder if the lad from Preston might feature over the next week too.

Has P-P written all over it. shame as they have lost Read back to Oldham.
