Would seem like a good opportunity to give Nuttall & Pyke half each and maybe 45 for Delaney as they’re all short of match time. Knowing our luck they’d all pick up injuries though.

[cassidystash]

But it wouldn’t fit if it’s not in your puzzle.
I guess ideally Hill would like to have kept Hippo & Wood and lost Perry & KDT but overall not a bad outcome.

I think if Hill wins MOM for February we should be OK.

I’m confused now.
Keith said:-
” I’m trying to put a jigsaw together and unfortunately that excluded Harry. It’s a bit of a shame really because he is one I would like to have kept”

Why would you want to keep a piece of a jigsaw that wasn’t part of the puzzle you were making?

[cassidystash]

Last 3 we had from The Shrews weren’t too bad, let’s give him a chance.
5’8″ or 6’2″? I know which I’m hoping for.
Another one Hill knows – good sign.

We’ll be OK with Grant & Feeney to start and then any 2 from Beestin, Sinclair, Hackney, Hallam & Lewis. (Pugh if we must)

Well he paid Kenyon off and, if he had any sort of relationship with us supporters, we’d have had a whip round for the few hundred quid needed to pay up KDT.

[cassidystash]

Boxall was a teacher too (and Rod Fletcher) and had a mighty long throw. Trouble was we needed him on the end of it and he wasn’t quick enough to get there.

Looks like paying off the EFL loan will be “necessary” in order to remove the squad size limit and get Hill the players he wants.

[cassidystash]

I’d say Covid but, as we’re the only club affected, it can’t be that.

Thanks. Just had a look and, depending on which youngsters count and which don’t I reckon we have 23. Can’t see how we can shift 4 to bring in the 4 that Hill wants. Loanees could be one route, surely the chairman can persuade his mate Rodders to take Wood back.

[cassidystash]

As I understand it the EFL embargo limits squad size (anybody know what it is?) It’s likely that we are being held up by lack of movement out and, with the players we’d like to shift, that could be more difficult than attracting players in.

[cassidystash]

No argument with that McF, just can’t see him moving north now for what’s likely to be a short term deal.

Too cold up here, never been further north than Ipswich!
Remember Lee Hodges saying it was 10 degrees colder here when he came from London.

[cassidystash]

What an absolute treat to have some midfielders that can control and pass the ball. Feeney & Grant top drawer first half but, understandably, tired in the second, surprised they both played 90 mins. Hope the youngsters learn from them and b***** quickly. Where are the strikers!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! 1-0 down and we play without one!!!!

Assuming Wiki can be believed (and why not!!)
Plus:- Could cover the lack of a LB at present
Puts pressure on Taft
6’5″ and a good age
Known to Hill
Probably cheap enough.

Minus:- Doesn’t seem to have played much lately
Morecambe again (3rd time lucky?)

[cassidystash]

Only 1 day left after match day, Monday needs to be busy.
How much longer is the Nuttall deal going to take, does he really want to come here?

[cassidystash]

Needs to sign today and play tomorrow.

[cassidystash]

Another one!!
“Omar Bogle [Doncaster – Hartlepool] Free”

Can’t believe ‘pool are paying big bucks, were we in for him do you think?

[cassidystash]

Two things:-
Were Davis & Kenyon Cox’s choice.
Signing two players from a team just promoted from L2 should have been excellent business, why they turned out to be two duds is a mystery.

Not many league players for whom we’d be an upward move.

[cassidystash]

“Tom Elliott [Salford – Bradford] Loan”

Another one that would have done the job?

[cassidystash]

The benefit (hopefully there is one) this time is that the players coming in all appear to have a previous connection to Hill, so he knows what he’s getting. In the recent past it would appear the manager was given a series of surprise packages to play with.

Experienced CM and striker just what we need. BUT neither have played this season if Wiki is to be believed, Keith must be confident or desperate.

Looks like a desperation signing NI. If you consider this seasons RB options:-
Millen – disappeared
Green – disappeared
Rowe – needed DCM for the injured Kenyon
Pugh – needed midfield because he runs the most
We didn’t have anybody else, also he’s a £1 million player so he must be better than those we have who aren’t worth anything like that in total.

[cassidystash]

He is if he’s fit which Millen doesn’t seem to be.

IIRC the club made the decision not to reveal the names of players affected by Covid. If players are absent then we have to guess why. Things are clearly bad when players unsighted for weeks/months like Wood and KDT suddenly make the squad and get on the pitch.

“the lad got loads of grief for not scoring and was quickly cast asisde.”

A player driven out by fans? I thought we had the only fans that behaved that way.
