Always thought Nicky Maynard was good but he’s been part of a Mansfield team who’s recruitment policy matched ours from a few years ago, old pro’s for free but on high wages earning their last 2 years of pro contract… Whilst there’s a benefit to having an experienced spine of the team we need to go back to what we used to be good at, signing hungry young players with the right attitude to progress and make money from.

Would prefer Mark Oxley, out of contract next month at Southend… Born Sheffield ex Rovrum and Dull City wouldn’t be huge wages and a good age and experience to compete for the number 1 jersey.

Raz Clayton, Andy Crosby, Pete Daniels, Mark Jackson, Paul Tisdale (Des Comerford would be happy).

And doesn’t Joey look like a young David Moyes ?!

[Square Ball Bullimore]

I would have liked to have seen Joey Dawson and some of the young lads SanFran knows well. I understand you cannot throw 5 into the first 11 but if attitudes stink amongst the senior pros then time to throw 2 in to shake things up a bit.

Is it over the line and confirmed yet?

[Square Ball Bullimore]

OP – Is your title a parody ?!

If ‘taking the knee’ continues in the long term won’t it have a detrimental effect on the already delicate knee joints, which are a common cause of long term injuries in football players?

[Square Ball Bullimore]

Keep going Bartonscorpion, at 80 you’ve still got plenty of sting left.

Football at the lower level is all about taking the bad times with the good.

However, it would be nice when things return to normal if you could rock up to the ground and park in a blue badge space without sitting around waiting needlessly, that should be something the club can solve easily at little or no cost to them but a significant difference to you.

Interesting to read about the goalkeeping situation, makes me wonder if opposition scouts see this and other teams set up to flood the box with crosses.

Hope Beestin gets a run.

Onariase looks solid at this level.

I’d like to see Olomola get a run but not sure KVV and him would be a good pairing.

[Square Ball Bullimore]

Very sad news, a gentleman of football and a proud ex player of our club. He has passed at a young age.

It does make you wonder about how long retired professional footballers live, how does it compare with other vocations or sports professionals in particular?

RIP.

[Square Ball Bullimore]

Backed 100 %.

I agree we shouldn’t get hung up on ex players or has beens, but Cox is different.

Time to be United.

[Square Ball Bullimore]

Olomola on the bench with KVV. Some reasons for optimism

I have been told the money freed up by Ryan leaving is funding three new players, two in already and as cox has said hopefully the other one Is imminent, if this is true Ryan most have been on a very good wage.

About 4k a week

What’s going on with all the bad language?

It’s been said that Cox needs time, first management position with a large squad of young and inexperienced players. It will be a season of experiment and learning. A finish outside of relegation will be seen as acceptable by the owners and we’ll have to settle for that.

Would like to see some more from Fela and Green.

[Square Ball Bullimore]

I’m eating humble pie and it tastes good. Really pleased he’s back. Experience alongside hungry new manager.

[Square Ball Bullimore]

Agree but unlikely, suspect it will be a former playing colleague from Watford days or more recent. Richard Hall would also be good.

[Square Ball Bullimore]

If Neil Cox is being considered whilst he is a serving assistant manager, why not interview Chris Lucketti too?
