    ... and we are scoring goals (better than last year). The problem is at the other end.

    stop please stop - enough transfer speculation already. We have three strikers and limited ability to get rid any that would now surplus (Baka I assume). Give Godden and Walker chance please

    Having gone thro this thread it is written in the runes that they will win 2-0 with Chaplin & Thomas scoring, both from very difficult chances...... I'm glad we sold Chaplin - he could never have done the Godden role up front role on his own and we turned a nice profit to boot. I liked Thomas...

    The question is who is in a position to take all these players? The L1 and L2 teams are all broke having no crowds. None of these players are in the "development" mould like Eccles. The ones that are like Bapaga we want here. The two that are only played under sufference by Robins, whom a...

    It is a reasonably educated guess though, don't you think? It is pretty clear getting a new LWB is not a top priority, there are bigger holes, and that having four loans is out of character for Robins. Norwich came knocking, and we thought "bargain". No human outside your own family warrants...

    I knew there was a fourth. That makes my point even more so. Looks like Kelly, Sheaf, Hamer and Hissner ar bthe central midfielders.

    Last thought. I think this move was not planned, not strategic, but wholly opportunistic. This is not necessarily a good thing. Norwich knocked on the door and we saw the merit in it. It was not because a weakness in the team more important than any othe was identified, leading to a search for...

    Out of interest, this means we have used 2 of our loan slots on one position. We now have Giles, McCallum and Ostigard as loans. It means that probably any additional player brought in for the CDM slot would have to be a free or a purchase. It is concievable that if Rose comes back, two of our...

    Thw two corners we have conceded from were down to poor cover at the far post weren't they? ON both occaisions that was the left.

    If Robins is true to form, MacCullum will be on the bench. He has been very consistent in team selections and the way he treats players. Everybody knows the score that way. You earn your place. Only Kelly (and previously Doyle) have been treated in any way differently imho. This rule does not...

    On the subject of birth's clashing with games... A friend who is a big Spurs fan was at a conference with me in Durham, and his wife was due to give birth. Spurs were playing Accrington (IIRC) in a cup comp that evening and he was planning to go, as it was a grounds he had never seen Spurs...

    Josh Pask

    As everyone seems to think its nonsense, it will probably happen. Judging by comments in the past made by those who have actually seen him play, that might be his level. If I was Pask, at his age, I'd want to play.

    Eccles

    Good move - he should, all things being equal, get serious, competitive game time with a strong League 1 outfit. Better than we could have expected. Looks like Eccles impressed Evans on Tueday night. I would worry if we needed him for an extended run in the Championship at this stage in hid...

    Dabo & Sheaf for Pask & Kelly. 1-1 Pask to replace Dabo as a sub if needs be Rose on the naughty step because of Gillingham.

    When this happened last year, we got Walsh in. Then it looked, although it might have just been a coincidence, like a reaction to a Kelly injury. Either way it was fortuitous.

    It's a wonderful combo - City scoring reported by Michelle Owen. I need to go and lie down.

    You are all saying Pask was at fault, but who was that trailing in patterson's wake, Hyam or Giles?
