Re: New Striker

Loan until end of the season, worth a punt and a try. We have in theory 4 midweek games, wo will need to let Nelson take a breather in that period. If the lad does well enough then he has the chance to sign for next season, if nothing comes of it then so be it. Seems a good move by the club with not...

Re: The Defence

Problem we have is that we are largely playing Sat/Tue for most of the rest of the season.

We need to keep players fresh, so same players each game won't work. It will all be about the squad now. Although I can see the reason why that would be your optimum team.

Re: The Defence

Newall, I think is probably the best left back, with pace and aggression. Should start for me. And yet he had a poor game yesterday well in the first half - didn't notice him as much in the second. I think he gave the ball away every time he got possession in the first half. He looks like his confi...

Newall, I think is probably the best left back, with pace and aggression. Should start for me. Sukar, isn't the tallest or dominant centre back but does a steady away job, has some pace compared to others and is the best at bringing the ball out and engaging the midfield creating gaps for others.

Re: Mark Beck

I'm hoping Beck does quite well, just as long as it's not against us. I have no bitterness and I think we should just move on. DJ has mentioned in the match programme today that at time of writing his notes, we had 2 offers in for players with other clubs. So hopefully some movement on a striker in ...

Shola is Newcastle United loan manager. So reading between the lines it sounds like one of Newcastle yout...

Re: New faces

Nope as Fleetwood released him on a free and Bristol Rovers signed him. So no contract elements would be built in, we just have to be happy that the lad has had a good run in the football league and proud we gave him the platform.

Sadly, yes he is sure.

The media around it will be managed as opposed to just announced. I would expect/hope a player in before Saturday also, AA is certainly trying with the squad so thin.

Re: Mark Beck

Some players get paid 52 weeks at Darlo and some 39/40. Depends what's agreed in the contract, no idea if Beck was on a 52 week contract but quite possibly.

Some players like the money guaranteed each week, rather than 12 weeks where it's missing.

Can't blame for Beck going to a club, that offers him something that we can't.

Not just fulltime football, double your wage and sign...

Re: Lambert attracting attention

Armstrong says we don’t need to sell anyone, but surely any of our players could leave if the price is right. I would imagine that Lambert will have a release clause in his contract, just as Charman did. So if prospective buyers are prepared to match the fee required he will likely be on his way. I...

Yeah more but smaller steps. Also I don't remember being that bothered or have issues about the view in my teens, just happy being in the middle of the tinshed going crazy if we scored - maybe that's a younger thing.
