    If you’ve paid for something on the premise of being entered into a prize draw which then never materialises, surely the Gambling Commission may have something to say about that?

    Yep I think you’re right there on both counts DSGM…remember being in the away end for Mirfs red card and it was something stupid like 10 minutes into the game!

    Just a couple I can think of off the top of my head from recent memory:

    Gary Hooper vs Leeds
    Izzy Iriekpen vs Charlton
    Jacob Butterfield vs Yeovil
    Andrew Boyce vs Yeovil (2nd spell)
    Ryan Loft vs Swindon
    Billy Sharp vs Forest
    Leon Clarke vs Sheffield United
    Sam Winnall vs Mansfield
    Matty Sparrow vs Mansfield (2nd spell)
    KVV vs Swindon
    Charlie Goode vs Burton
    Josh Morris vs Bristol Rovers

    I’ll have a lie down now…

    He’s 19, same age as Cam Wilson, yet miles ahead of him in terms of the performances he’s put in for us. If he leaves in January then the likelihood we’d see a replacement come in of similar quality is slim to none!

    We’re currently the only team in the league unbeaten in their last 5, but all these draws aren’t going to get us very far!

    Win on Saturday and things might start to look a little healthier. 10 points from 6 games wouldn’t be too bad a return.

    Yeah points away from home against bottom of the league are brilliant, especially when we’ve won once away from home in 37 or whatever it is games now. It’s going to have to be a team terrible beyond words for us to actually pick up 3 points off of them!

    Will we win away from home ever again?

    If we can’t beat the team bottom of the league who ship goals for fun then probably not!

    1 in 2 strike rate so far this season, only 5 players in the league have scored more. His hold up play has been much better and most attacks go through him. He ain’t doing too bad for me.

    His goals not earning us points is down to our atrocious defending, not his ability to score goals!

    Whether you like him or not, if we’re selling our top scorer less than a quarter of the way into the season to a league rival then the only take away is…shambles!

    Got to back it up with a performance at Torquay. If not and we lose to bottom of the league (again!) then it’s very much back to square one!

    Can he play as a left sided centre back? Taft is abysmal, he has no desire to actually defend whatsoever.

    If SST’s post is true I can see it being Daws with Cox back in as assistant.

    Crozzer? Why would a current League 1 assistant manager come to a sinking ship in the National League?

    Good riddance, can’t get any worse. He was a big downgrade on Cox which just goes to show how massive a failure he’s been.

    On paper this squad should be able to compete in the National League. 5 defeats on the bounce (and the manner in which we capitulated in them) warrants his sacking.

    I don’t have any sympathy for the bloke after he completely downed tools last season and threw our youngsters under the bus.

    Thomas has near vanished and rightly so.

    Eh? He played 24 times for QPR last season and has made 2 appearances for them so far this season.

    Mick, you’re naming the odd loanee that played for us up to 16 years ago. I’ll use the past 4 years’ intake as my realistic barometer for judging how well he’s likely to do.

    Like mentioned above, how is signing unproven youngsters like this going to affect the morale of our own youngsters, who were completely and unnecessarily thrown under the bus by our idiot manager last season!?

    I remember similar was said about Ryan Yates and Jack Cork in the past, it is all hit and miss, we even signed a striker on loan from Newcastle twice and some moaned,and look at him now, Ivan Toney, then there was Jermaine Beckford from Leeds, Carlisle fans were laughing saying he was crap,

    Living in the past Mick, name me a real decent loanee in the past 4 seasons…

    Hope he isn’t a bloody striker with a record of 2 goals in 17 apps for Chester in NLN last season!

    With the predicament we’re in we should only be signing players who can go straight into the starting 11 and make us better. Otherwise it just seems like padding out the squad for the sake of it.

    Can we really afford to sit idly by with the most incompetent manager in our history until Swanny finally decides to feck off??

    Was interesting listening to the Arsenal doctors on All or Nothing saying how a medical is less of a physical procedure and more a risk assessment. So how Hallam and Ntlhe faired in these risk assessments to then still be awarded contracts baffles me…unless they’re on pay-as-you-play deals but I highly doubt that’s the case.

    I’m struggling to find the logic behind people still backing Hill to turn this around. What is this based on? Certainly not on his performance with us to date with his 3 wins in 37. People still mentioning Rochdale…let’s not forget they sacked him too.

    Cox was arguably our worst ever manager, but Hill managed to take his team, bring in his own players in January and make it much worse. Then completely downed tools and threw our youngsters under the bus.

    He’s now brought in even more of his own players and we currently sit in the relegation zone of the National League. But hey, sign two more players and everything will be alright!

    This was a polished side and superior in quality to our team.

    As were Woking and Maidenhead and pretty much every team last season. Where does it stop!?
