    I can’t see the Howe brothers playing too many more games together.

    He is too lightweight and his ball control is worse than Carlton’s.

    We should not be in the position after two games where we are scouring the loan market for a goalkeeper, but I agree that there is a good chance we might be in the coming weeks. I thought Jones made some really good saves but was very erratic. He potentially handled one outside the box, flapped at a number of crosses, came steaming out to tackle their player at the corner flag and kicked two clearances straight at their striker. That said I would still pick him ahead of Campbell.

    Matt I tried to enter prediction league last night could you let me know if it went through because I’m not sure if it did. I will try again if it didn’t.

    All good!

    While I can understand how an upside-down ‘M’ might easily be overlooked, sending a shirt to a customer with no badges at all is completely unacceptable.

    Yes, you won either £20 or Joey Dawson’s home shirt. I will email you to arrange your prize. You are also entered automatically into the new prediction league. The first round of matches will be visible next week.

    Is this the club’s attempt at the content side of the FC100 offering? I don’t mind them trying to monetise, but I have 0 interest in behind the scenes content or videos of a group of blokes running up and down a training field. I’m sure they will get some sign ups though.

    I think a 750k grant is wide of the mark. The panel that decides how much we will get hadn’t sat as of last week. There are also parts of the work that the grant does not cover, so I would imagine the short fall is pretty significant.

    If you’re referring to the link I put above, I’d disagree, unless the option was in Ewing’s favour, which is possible but unlikely.

    I don’t think it was ever an option in the club’s favour. There was an interview with Butler half way through the season where he confirmed that, but the explanations have never been clear. I’m reliably informed it will be explained in detail when his departure is announced.

    Good spot, they were in the database but I was looking at cached data.
    Well done Oppidium – managed to sneak in to the top three with the last kick. Siderite just misses out.

    Howe has done fairly well this season but he doesn’t really fit the system and Butler now has Smith and Dausch that look better suited to the role.

    His goal return has been ok considering he has not played through the middle, but he is a bit limited and lacks a bit of quality. He could easily be sitting on 20 goals as he’s missed a hatful of easy chances.

    Much will depend on how Dausch gets on but I think Howe will probably be quickly forgotten.

    I think Hurst might find himself on the bench on Tuesday. Has done nothing of note yet and looks incredibly lightweight.

    Hope he goes pretty much full strength tbh and takes it very seriously. We changed most of the team last season at Newcastle Town, and it was one of the most embarrassing performances I have ever witnessed.

    Keeper secured. He is a Premier League youngster and U21 international. Not quite the experience I was expecting/hoping for, but probably tricky to sort at such short notice and he comes highly regarded.

    In real time I thought it was a horrific challenge but a few mates that have seen it back said he had eyes for the ball.

    It would make sense to call it a draw but the National League doesn’t do common sense, so fully expecting to have to replay it.

    Aside from the fact it’s going to cost the club financially for another overnight stay, I wouldn’t be too disappointed. They were pretty poor and we should have seen it out. I’d fancy us for three points if we were full strength when we went back.

    On another note, relieved both players are seemingly on the mend. I haven’t had the benefit of a replay, nor do I want to see one, but I was of a similar opinion to Andy as it happened in real time.

    There was no profit, and costs were incurred due to the use of a marketing agency when they realised ticket sales were incredibly low. That sounds very much like a loss to me.

    Sadly cannot make Thursday as I am away for the evening, but I have submitted the below questions to the Iron Hour.

    How much did the Weekender cost to put on and how much revenue/profit did it generate for the club? Have all artists/contractors now been paid by the organisers? How much revenue did we lose not having any home friendlies? Why is there a new CCJ (August 25) for £4898 – what is this for, when will it be settled and does a CCJ leave us at risk of a transfer embargo? What can be done to rectify the pitch, which looks to be in a poor state already? Would the FC100k partnership have gone ahead if it wasn’t for the fan backlash?

    The companies belong to the club doctor and his brother, who have been very supportive of the club in recent years.

    Mentioning no names but 2 family members of one of the board have 6150 between them I wonder if they purchased them or gifted them you can make your own mind up.

    I can confirm they paid in full to support the club.
