I believe it is still a half decent budget for this level, although it seems we have to continue spending a chunk of it on Mussa and also Balanta rumoured payout. I wonder if our club has taken advantage of these pretty unfair new NL contracts whereby we can reduce salaries after 12 weeks of inactiv...

No issue with a smaller squad but as noted they have to be reliable with a long history of being injury free, and they have to be very good. Clubs have done it in the past but if course the league is now seemingly dominated by money clubs with 25+ players. If Hare and Page are long term, we need mor...

Can't see it getting better very quickly. Gateshead are very good on the ball and will move it quickly and make life very difficult for us. If we are really wedded to this 352 I'd at least like to see Johnson, Weston and Lawless come in for Page, Kendall and Rees. I'd put Ibie up top with Inih. I wo...

Terrible. Ibie as a wing back, do me a favour. The midfield 3, looked like 3 lads we'd pulled out of the pub, painfully slow, not sharp. Rees totally anonymous and Vincent couldn't pass wind. Kendall offered zero up front, no pace, couldn't hold it up, didn't link with anyone. No legs in the team wh...

As Digger says, they hadn't sold many tickets originally and then suddenly everyone jumps on the bandwagon cos they won a game. As for the trouble, as noted above every year around 50 or so knob heads attach themselves to each club and attempt to turn this game into some kind of row. I doubt many re...

I reckon if Johnson was fit, Westy may very well have found himself on the bench. Page is surely the guy we are expecting to provide ammo from the left this season.

Agree we are definitely going to need to dip into the loan market to cover all the extra minutes and inevitable injuries.

Those new big red posts underneath it mean you cannot see more than about 2/3 of the pitch from anywhere in the sieve bar the first couple of steps. If you stand between them both goals are obscured. If you stand either side of them the other half of the pitch is obscured.

Think the one and only official sell out in our post 92 era was against Ipswich?

Killing your aging, best creative player at wing back is a non-starter for me. 433 is the way forward. I am sorry to see Manny go, apparently a high earner and we can sign 2 for the price of 1, but purely on football he walks into our current team. If we really are going to play 3 centre backs with ...

It doesn't shock me. We have made a couple of quality signings but overall in the squad we are a long way short. I would guess the lack of recent signings is budgetary and hence we might not see the improvements we need at all. I don't like wingbacks with the players we have, I don't think it will w...

Conor Lawless.

Not really sure what they are protesting about. Should the chairman pay all the bills out of his own pocket? The business doesn't have the money to pay. As I understand it, Kimura are interested in buying but the terms are not agreed. I can only speculate, as nothing is public, that Kimura do not wa...

Beyond me how they're still in the division. Typical of the NL board to drag their feet tho. They cannot be deemed capable of completing the season with all the financial issues. The ground hasn't been looked after through summer. They don't have enough players and are under embargo. They still have...

From listening to Strevs interview, he is still trying to set standards now. If we concede a goal he will be fuming I bet.

Some of my friends started coming to us more after the Olympic stadium move because they hate it there! But unfortunately the football they've seen in recent years has not kept them coming back much. I've noticed that the toilets do at least have bog roll and soap for the last year or so which is al...
