Re: Asante

You wish to rubbish rumours that don't suit your point So it is a rumour ;) 97 - things would be simpler if you just said/wrote something along the lines of "I reckon Asante is on huge huge money" instead of making out that you know, because you don't know that he is, anymore than I don't know that...

Re: Asante

Looking forward to today's preview "Asante will have a fitness test on a groin injury"! Bang on the money, the preview says exactly that. This was a quote back in July after he underwent 'minor surgery' on this groin injury: When asked how long he is set to be out for, Webb replied: “It will be a f...

Re: Asante

My patience is definitely wearing thin if he's contracted for next season. If that's the case it's a ridiculous decision. Had he come in fit, playing regularly and scoring goals that would put a different slant on it. Sure I read his contract is this season and next when he signed. I am sorry but i...

Re: Banbury V Darlington

Same issue, zero creativity. Hatfield & Platt both tough, hard working midfielders but neither of them can create literally anything. Liddle back to non existent self. Cannot win games with those 3 together. We can't win games with Lees and Lawlor together either. They just aren't solid consistentl...

Re: Banbury V Darlington

No mention of Barrow on the injured/fitness test for tonight’s match, so I’m assuming he’s in the squad for Banbury game 👍 According to today’s Echo, Barrow almost definitely out with food poisoning. Presumably that is why he ended up in hospital last week. No point risking him and having him spewi...

Its not the first time we've signed a crocked player and it won't be the last. David Wheater another recent example who managed 19 appearances in 1.5 seasons. It...

Meanwhile Jacob Hazel who Asante was meant to replace, scored both goals in Boston's win at Spennymoor.
Luckily we've got Main in now, who might go some way towards soothing the Hazel wound.

Re: Recruitment

I think we could maybe afford one more permanent signing, at a guess someone like Hancox.

Two more loans on top - Jameson has been rumoured for a while, and if we could get Donowa, that'd be amazing.

That sets a worrying precedent and becomes a slippery slope. Reynolds liked his say on stuff like that and loved the odd intervention without having the slightest clue about football.

Obviously not, as no one has seen him break out of a slow jog since we signed him.

The board can say yes or no to transfers.

Re: Darlington v Hereford

With 18 games to go the team could go 6 wins, 6 draws, and 6 defeats and make 49 points, which should be enough. After yesterday's game, can we believe that doubling our wins tally is possible? Based on yesterday it should be a formality. How so, you ask? Can we beat Banbury Tuesday? Not so sure gi...

I wonder if he was being rested so he's as fresh as possible for Tuesday? No, he's just fucking shite, and a massive waste of money, just like his ex boss Clowning. But if he is going to prove us wrong and be available Tuesday and do more than amble around in midfield, that would be good timing - a...

Re: Darlington v Hereford

If Asante was fit, a partnership with Main could be very effective, because a big man up front alongside a nippy striker can be an ideal combination. I don't think I've even seen him in the box in the 2 and a half months here, and he has managed to amble through about 8 or 10 matches during that ti...

Main and Nelson up front imo, main can score at this level and provide assists, and I think Nelson would relish that. Just my opinion of course, may have a bet on a 3-1 win :) I think Main is supposed to be pacy and runs at defences as well. What we've clearly been lacking all season. That penetrat...

Hereford - 6th in the league with a minus 2 goal difference! Strange combo. It's always a good way of telling if a team is in a false position mid season. Teams high up in the table with a minus difference 9 times out of 10 tend to drop by the end of the season. Teams low down with a positive diffe...

Not sure it's about effort or us not taking chances for me - the players generally put plenty of effort in, but we just create next to nothing!
That means that the likes of Ngandu, Salkeld and Rivers aren't good enough.

But Asante is never in the box anyway, even if they were creating chances.
