    Transfer Rumour #CARLBAKERDAY

    Yes we've JJ and Nazon, but that's it really. JJ has bad habits and a element of predictability to his game but can have that flash of magic we want him to perform with every touch. Reality is he's still young and still developing his game so like we found with AA we cannot hinge our hopes of a...

    Chesterfield away 2nd September

    Season before that was, last year was only 12000ish. Let's hope for a good Yeovil win to bounce off

    Transfer Rumour #CARLBAKERDAY

    Nazon can play that role for sure, I just feel we're quite narrow as a side and would like a few extra options. JJ will be in and out of form as he's young so will need taking out the firing line. I think McNulty will get goals if we get the ball and players into the box more, just need to get...

    Transfer Rumour #CARLBAKERDAY

    Id be tempted to get another wide player with pace and good feet, and a more natural target man to give us another attacking dimension to what we have currently and also we'd need to replace the outgoing player who's gonna free up the wages to cover this. That's in a ideal world but in all...

    Chesterfield away 2nd September

    Will likely be the latter end of this week given it's a bank holiday weekend too. Hopefully we will take a good following, easy ground to get to also.

    Danny Newton - Tamworth

    I doubt many are fussed about Danny Newton, but some maybe interested to see how a player stepping up form national league north adapts to life in L2 as a professional footballer.

    Transfer Rumour #CARLBAKERDAY

    Don't get me wrong I like baker, I'd take his set piece abilities but at 34 is he really the right answer to fill a wide role? To me he'd now suit a more central role and we've players already here to fill them roles, so I struggle to see how we can accommodate him. If wages become available...

    Danny Newton - Tamworth

    3 goals in 3 league games for Stevenage, a good start to life in L2 with a goal in each game.

    Transfer Rumour #CARLBAKERDAY

    Vincenti isn't blessed with pace but has been a winger for years, tho predominantly on the right not the left. Bakers is going to add no additional pace to what Vincenti has. With FFP rules (SCMP) I don't see how we can afford to take him on tho obviously he'd be working to our terms and not...

    Transfer Rumour #CARLBAKERDAY

    Would he really be a good signing with what we have? Where does he fit into the current team or match day squad? I cannot seem to find a place for him if everyone's fit.

    I must admit I thought the changes were wrong yesterday and mistimed. Andreu should of been introduced at half time in place of Beavon who was more isolated than anything as we were struggling to break down Newport as they defended in numbers and we lacked movement and ability to string a pass...

    I'm disappointed with yesterday as we all are, but 3 league games in and this seems a good squad for L2 tho for me yesterday gave no real indication to say we're a average side or real promotion contenders with so many players being poor and gifting the win to Newport. 10 games in will give us...

    I think Andreu will provide that link and attacking spark between Doyle/Kelly and McNulty or Beavon. Yesterday we carried to many players, several could be dropped as we need to adapt and impose our best 11 for each game. For me JJ and likely Beavon are likely to be the ones. Andreu for...

    No I agree on Beavon it's not happening for him currently, tho a lot of his work is valuable and goes unnoticed. Tho we're basing this on a fair performance v Notts county where he created space for McNulty, a first half at Grimsby where he wasn't given much to work off as we lumped it long...

    I park in lucky bay 37 in car park A, as I pull in some old duffer pulls into my spot! I'll get there 5 mins earlier next time. Normal service will resume.

    I raised this point on another thread. To me he looks more comfortable on the right but JJ seems to spend the majority of the game there so Vincenti is the fall guy as MR looks to have things hinged on JJ doing something and being the spark while most balls are lumped to Vincenti in the hope of...

    Peter Vincenti is for one, comes in for heavy criticism from some quarters. Vincenti hasn't started his career here on fire but against Notts county a lot of his work went unnoticed, and was a valuable outlet at times, same against Grimsby too albeit he's wasn't as effective that day. Tho if...

    Welcome to league 2.... Today turned out what I feared, it was never gonna be a walk in the park, and a reality check we most likely needed that will hopefully make us a better and stronger side going forwards and we can learn plenty from today. We're gonna get teams come and frustrate us at...

    O'Brien 5 - commanding again, claimed crosses, tho distribution a little off and obviously a huge error in a otherwise decent performance. Grimmer 5 - had attacking threat at times, average performance Willis 5 - fair first half, average performance. Mcdonald 7 - signing of the summer so far...

    Think this is gonna be a tight game until the introduction of Tony Andreu who shows us what he's really about with a SSN goal of the day contender to take the win
