Re: Gowling MUST go!

I'm going to get pillared for this but, as bad as last night was, I don't think that result in isolation is enough to sack him. We have taken 2 wins recently and looked decent against Chester in the first half before they figured us out. We're battling at the bottom so we're going to lose games and...

Re: Gowling MUST go!

I fully accept that it was a shocking result, but I don’t think Josh should go, because there have been some green shoots of recovery in recent games, and to start again for the third time this season, when we are only in November would be daft. Everything that could have gone wrong, did go wrong l...

JG signings Hannah, Robson,Windfield,Rowe,Lindley, Ngandu, Simms have been poor and not improved the squad.

Mitch Curry update

We are short on goals and Mitch Curry has played less than 90 minutes in the last ten games, depending on what match preview you read he has an arm or shoulder injury. How serious is it, because we desperately require everyone we can ? didnt we have a striker who popped is shoulder back in at salfor...
