Some good interviews lined up. KVV, Karacan and a few more on the horizon. We can’t conduct any interviews until their contracts expire though…

Bare with us!

[SST]

Very old news.

Howard has been average, but the stats really do speak for themselves

I believe the club, Trust etc will be circulating the agreed statement/minutes in due course.

I have been told by a very good source that the Stadium & surrounding land is probably not worth £11 million as a development site.

When JSW was here, I believe the club estimated it to be worth approximately £4 million. That said, the planning permission and development over the past few years will no doubt have increased it’s value.

I think he has been undone by having unfit players in front of him – Onaraise, McGahay and Taft have had to be thrown in there too quickly

To be fair to Howard he has also had to contend with a make shift on numerous occasions.

Rory definitely appears to have improved some aspects of his game but for me, the stats don’t lie. He’s not good enough.

Taft was absolutely awful last night. We just have to hope that he is not fully fit and not just coasting now he has a long term deal.

Shameful tonight. Absolutely abysmal. Not sure what else to say.

Think it will be overturned but it was a definite penalty and act of shear stupidity

[SST]

There is contact with his calf when you slow the video down and he is now struggling with a dead calf, so it will be interesting if he makes it tomorrow.

[SST]

I believe if the player makes an attempt to go for the ball in the area it can only be a yellow, even if he denies a goalscoring opportunity… but if he doesn’t make an attempt to play the ball there can be double punishment and a red.

[SST]

There is definitely contact made with KVV. It may have been accidental but the player made no genuine attempt to play the ball. That should have been a penalty and a red card.

Denying a clear goalscoring opportunity is also a red card and you could certainly make a case that Gilly was clean through.

I did think he reffed it quite well overall, but went missing for a ten minute spell where he nearly lost control of it and all the key decisions went against us.

[SST]

Howard was excellent when called upon.
Cambridge reminded me of us when we started faltering under GA. Granted they had a lot of the ball, but they ran out of ideas and the longer it went on the easier it got for us. That said, thought we defended really well considering we ended as a makeshift back four.
Clarke got stuck in at times, but sad to say I think he is finished.

What was your opinion on the Taft penalty the game before

I thought Taft got caught out and despite the fact the striker made a meal of it, it was definitely a penalty. Tuesday on the other hand was a very poor decision.

He couldn’t kick it that far for us. Pleased for him. Great lad.

Straw-clutching for six points?

It’ll be replayed. The question is do our original predictions still stand or do we enter new ones as and when?

New matches will be added for the rearranged fixtures.

Final whistle results only. I can’t remember any SUFC matches that were abandoned and not replayed in my time supporting the club.

Outstanding last night. That last ditch tackle was immense.

I wonder if taking a punt on him despite his hernia injury allowed us to beat others to his signature. Certainly proving to have been a risk worth taking.

Will be interesting to see what happens when McGahey is fully fit. The fact he came back in at Barrow despite being anywhere near fit suggests to me that he is still Cox’s number 1 as it stands.

[SST]

I still think a fully fit McGahey will be Cox’s first choice.

[SST]

Howard was excellent last night. He didn’t have much to do, but he did the simple things so well. Looks to be full of confidence.

[SST]

Manny not at it tonight so far.

[SST]

Loft trained yesterday and is fine

[SST]

Big unit, but can play a bit too. Saw him a few times for the Leicester development side when I was at uni. He was one of about three or four that came through under Sven at the time. Should help with our set piece woes. Quite pleased with this one.

[SST]

I remember Swann suggested we looked to pay £2.5-3kish a week towards some of the Premier League players we had on loan(Thomas, Borthwick-Jackson), but I can’t imagine we would have been paying anywhere near that much for Taylor. I guess we would have certainly been making a contribution.

[SST]

As I said on the Loft thread, Cox is keen but as it stands it’s unlikely to happen. He nearly came in the summer but we couldn’t get it over the line. Shares agent with Cox.

[SST]

Cox is trying to bring in another big and nasty but not sure he will be able to. He has one in mind.

There was an interesting article in Bradford Telegraph and Argus which included comments from Hurst why he walked out, and it was clearly due to the way the club was run.

PS told me over the weekend that Hurst and Doig were both sacked and that he is still paying them off.

[SST]

Looks like he fixed five players up in the summer and three came to us!

Ha. I can’t imagine any clubs will be lining up to pay a fee. Out of interest I wonder what we paid for him?
