    Hiwula’s movement (or lack off)

    I actually thought he put in some good defensive work in the 2nd half to support Mason. Attacking wise... it was his 2nd consecutive poor game at home... Early days, but he needs to improve.

    Unbeaten start

    Nope... year after.

    Unbeaten start

    Lost in our 9th league game under Bobby Gould about 25 years ago. Three games later, he quit after the QPR drubbing.

    Both centre halves were fantastic. Mason was good and McCallum did a great job out of position. The midfield and attack were a mix of fair to poor... just not as poor as Gillingham.

    Caller: Aaaaaaah.... Football.... isn't it? I think we can get promoted! Clive: Yes, it was a great comeback to draw that game. Caller: We drew did we? Can you put Barry Manilow on please.

    Fankaty Dabo v Dujon sterling

    If yesterday's performance is 'the norm', then he will not be here long. However, I get the impression (could be, and hopefully proven, wrong) that he will be a 'boom or bust' player... in that when he is good, he will be fantastic (like yesterday), and if he is bad, he will be awful.

    Poor start, then grew through the game...shat myself when I thought he done a collarbone!

    Liked the 'head injury' late on... guess that is being 'streetwise'.

    Overall, yes, but not 1st half. Kelly started poor then grew, Shipley was quiet 2nd half.

    Dabo was MoM... not sure why Mason got it. Jobello improved as the game went on whilst Hiwula regressed badly. Shipley best midfielder 1st half and deserved his goal.

    Confirmed that Jobello & JCH are not the same person!

    Installing a drop kerb and drive

    Council's are now ensuring that drives meet a certain spec, so be mindful of that... the dropped kerb is the easy bit once they take the 100 odd quid off you to get a quote!

    Loans - let’s not bother

    If they weren't beneficial to all parties then they would cease to exist. Even going back 20 years or so, there have been young stars going down on loan... Beckham to Preston, Terry to Forest & Defoe to Bournemouth come to mind... in those cases the player and the clubs all prospered. However...

    Loans - let’s not bother

    As regards Grimmer, Robins may have thought that (whether rightly or wrongly) he would not be up to L1 level, hence the early move for Sterling.

    You do know, we used to have good players here... but from who you have seen... fair enough, it's your picks.

    Nope to the 1st part of the question.

    Nope... he's in the crowd with Shipley.

    U23 v Barnsley

    There was an exceptional touch from him to keep the ball alive by the touchline 10 mins earlier... looks a prospect.
