It’s a bare bones squad… injuries and we’re snookered.

If we go part time how are we going to attract players to take that left or right turn for the M180 especially to come and train twice a week, or are we just going for local lads.
Whatever you think of Hilton it was a good idea of his to move the training to the Midlands and his reasons behind it then only travel here for match days, then we could go part time.

Perhaps do a reverse MK Dons and move to London. Huge catchment area for players. Fans would only have to travel once a fortnight. Sorted. Doh!

No insinuation towards last night.
We are a full time ‘Pro’ outfit, he doesn’t work for FITC.
Maybe he’s anxious that we will be PT next season and that he’ll need the income?

Our betting friends – odds on a playoff place?

We’re still 2/1 favs to be champions.
I can’t (quickly) see any top 7 finish markets.

Howe about that!
17 for the season now!

A good evening for the basement boys!

Spennymoor 1-1 Scunthorpe

1-1 is the shortest correct score price at 9/2

Whitehall is frustrating at times, but at the moment he’s imperative. I bet there’s a player out there though that’s just as effective who won’t want as much money, but it’s just finding him.

Declan Howe @ Trinity.

Bit ironic that players need to be ‘tried and tested’ but the manager steering the ship needn’t be.

Absolutely.

He’s got them playing some really good football.
Don’t we all love the underdog?

Square pegs, round holes.

[Rene Artois]

Agreed. Someone has to sit in the driving seat whilst the new board consolidates and reorganises the clubs debts & finances.
Better a cheap rather than expensive “someone”

I remember we were offered vardy for around 300k after he ran us ragged for Halifax in a friendly, but turned it down due to it being too big a risk !

‘Speculate to accumulate’ ?

Risk… the managers/recruitment have made some right old howlers over the years.
Kenny Milne signed from Falkirk, wasn’t the fee about £400k ?, apparently he was injured when signed, came off in his 2nd game for us, injured for 2 years, made just 5 appearances yet pocketed £5k a week in wages.

You couldn’t make it up.

Quite frequently… check the links previously posted.
Other good examples:
Stuart Pearce
Ian Wright
Chris Waddle
Vinnie Jones
Chris Smalling
Joe Hart
Peter Crouch (loaned by Spurs)
Ashley Williams
Danny Ings
Les Ferdinand
Jimmy Bullard
Steve Finan
Kevin Philips
Tyrone Mings
Andre Gray
Yannick Bolasie
Stan Collymore

I’m sure you guys will have many others that I’ve omitted as history is littered with these ‘rags to riches’ players.

Really?
Vardy (then aged 22); National League to Championship when Leicester signed him for a non league record of £1M.

Holds the record for most consecutive games scored in the Premier League – 11 games.
Premier League Player of the Year & FWA Footballer of the Year in Leicester’s title winning season.
Premier League Golden Boot winner in 2019-20.
The only player in history to play in every round of the FA Cup, from the preliminary stages to the final.
26 England caps, 7 goals.

Leicester did well taking a ‘punt’ on Vardy!

I don’t think we can afford him. Would be ideal but it won’t happen.

I wonder what Trinity value him at?
His stock is ever increasing.

Harrogate (L2) away for Dec & the boys in R2 of the FA Cup.
Bag a couple in that game and there will be interest from clubs.

Oh well.
It was good while it lasted.

Posted when they went 3-0 down and decided at that point to just listen to the Iron commentary, as opposed to both.
What a game it turned out to be!
Congratulations Trinity!

[Rene Artois]

So, Harrogate away in R2.
Sutton & Muldoon, both ex SUFC are there.
Muldoon, age 35 (T1 Diabetes) scored the only goal of the game in their victory over the mighty Wrexham yesterday.
Trinity have nothing to lose in this fixture and everything to win.
Good luck to them.

Luckily we’re still in pole position.
With two thirds of the season still to go, we can recruit, regroup, reorganise and stamp our authority on the league.
