    Maddison out for a few months

    He said he was going for a scan which would be ligaments wouldn't it? If he'd broken something it would have been an x-ray.

    Maddison out for a few months

    FFS we must be cursed. As soon as you think things are on the up something like this happens. Hopefully TM can either adapt the system so his absence isn't as much of an issue as it seemed to be on Saturday or bring someone in who can replace him.

    Ryton training ground upgrades

    What was his reasoning behind that? Did he think other clubs were sending people down to spy on us in training?

    Ryton training ground upgrades

    Don't think you've got much chance of the club showing before pictures, wouldn't want to embarrass themselves! That graffiti club crest you can see in the background would make a good t-shirt for the young-uns.

    Why I would sell Maddison

    If, as we are told, the club is running self sufficiently now then there is no need to sell players to cover costs. So the reasons to sell would be the player wanting to go, TM deciding he'd rather have the money to spend than the player or SISU wanting to take money out to pay a debt from the...

    Rumour - Arsenal Interested in Maddison

    Don't have a problem with clubs identifying potential talent early on and having input into their development, after all you would expect a professional club to have a better infrastructure, but it does seem some sort of regulation is need to make sure the youngsters are still enjoying their...

    Why I would sell Maddison

    I think its too early to sell him, both for his career and for our benefit. We should certainly look to get him back if anyone who signs him then loans him out, make sure that's in the contract. Of course money comes into it, both from the clubs point of view and the players. Seems that Bigi is...

    Rumour - Arsenal Interested in Maddison

    Wouldn't think that is particularly uncommon. Player sponsorship will be tiered, there will be players who get boots at cost, players who get them free and players who get paid to wear them. I can't see that Nike are pushing for Arsenal to sign him to sell more boots!

    3 wins out of 4...

    Obviously always want to win but I get your point. People were getting carried away after 3 wins, if we'd gone and beaten Walsall that would have only got worse. What we need to do now is bounce back and get another little run going. If we group games in small groups of 4 then we're looking at...

    Airshow crash footballers killed

    I can only think of Hillsborough and Bradford where people have died at football from anything other than natural causes. And of course off the back of those tragedies enquiries were held and changes made to prevent similar happening again. There does seem to be a fair number of accidents at...

    Rumour - Arsenal Interested in Maddison

    Of course there is and I doubt they tell people who they are going to see. Clubs like Arsenal most likely have a huge number of scouts, one turning up to watch us doesn't mean anyone is about to move.

    Why is southend match on monday

    They can certainly request not to have home games on certain days, guess it depends how charitable the FL are feeling as the regulations do say that we should have primacy. The get out might be if we can get the police to request any moves on safety grounds. As you say it doesn't happen...

    Totally agree. This is just making the officials job impossible.

    Walsall (Away) Match Thread

    Had to happen sooner or later. Hopefully Maddison's just booted and on crutches as a precaution. Week off now, chance to regroup. Key now is how quickly we get back on track. 3 points next game and its still a very good start to the season.
