    Agree that a predicted draw should be 6pts not 4.

    Don’t agree on the rest of the post.

    Did he say that? That we aren’t looking for another keeper?

    He said Rory had had some bad luck with injuries but that he (PS) wants him to become our #1. And that with Adam and Tom we had adequate back-up!

    Hmm!

    Still the recruitment “committee” I/C of transfers. Mooney, Jarvis & Vincent had been “tracked” for over a year.

    So about as fast as the Government’s App then!

    Glad your glass is still full Brian. I think mine has lager in it when I ordered Pale Ale!

    In the podcast Charlie admitted he had made some bad mistakes in crucial games.

    Unfortunately that’s what people remember. Let’s not forget that last August we we’re welcoming back Andy Butler to shore up the defence.

    Hindsight indeed!

    Players will have bodily contact which is rather more critical.

    It’s the “excuse me, scuse me!” brigade that squeeze past you after twenty minutes, because they need the bog after having quaffed three pints pre-match, that concerns me. Those and the ones who head off for their pie and Bovril ten minutes before half time.

    Think I’d prefer to stand when we’re allowed back in. At least you can move out of the way if you’re not comfortable with the lack of distancing.

    With one fit centre back it may not be a viable option.

    You can only go on who gets the most mentions in the twitter feed.

    Eisa seemed to be involved quite a lot. Colclough we all know is more than capable at this level.

    As for the new lads, well Mooney took his goal well but with so many changes I guess it’s hard to judge without being there.

    Keepers still worry me going on the four goals conceded in the two games.

    I can’t believe they are still going ahead with the League Cup AND the Mickey Mouse Trophy in a shortened season.

    Stupidity IMO.

    He didn’t play Mooney or Jarvis either.

    Maybe he knows what his defence is but needed to have a look at midfield. Let’s face it that’s where the work needs to be done.

    Bit early for conspiracy theories!

    You’re absolutely right Mick. I was thinking about this just the other day when I looked at the OWS.

    12th Man packages, replica shirts, face masks. A scattering of pictures/videos of training and the squad numbers list. No “news” of any substance. No wonder journos like Charlie Wilson second guess at possible developments much to the annoyance of the chairman.

    The communication issues raise their ugly heads again.

    When I was playing in 70s/80s our gaffer often used to say “remember lads, they call their goalie Dracula, and you know why?”

    To which we’d all reply, “because he’s afraid of crosses!”

    Hope his leg doesn’t hurt, but we’ve got new shirts!

    Another one that left because of abuse from so called fans.

    In this particular case I believe the fans received more abuse from Mr G than vice-versa.

    But hey, if you have preconceptions you might as well use them!

    Maybe being a local lad he’ll be better at building the bridges between the fans and the team…

    ^^^^ this!

    Though he may experience some static interference.
