Apparently Yussuf played for Chatham in a qualifying round and is cup tied

Porter and Hemmings in the same side, god help us !! Is it only me that thinks that these two added together doesn't make a sunday morning reserve player?

Surely beating Southport in an away replay really isn't good enough anyway.....Not like they either played out of their skin or their keeper made save after save after save as we battered the goal left, right and centre!

I still firmly believe WB should have gone long ago, wasn't at the match Saturday so can't comment on what went on on the pitch. If Hemmings worked at LB then fair enough, although for me won't be long before his attack minded brain leads him to go walkies......

My view is Saturday was more important than Southport, survival at this level is WAY more important, cause if we go down we ain't coming back quickly. To leave 2 of the best strikers in this division warming the bench is simply ridiculous. This alone shows his ineptitude and for me, the 'Saving them for Southport' argument simply don't wash.

I agree with those who have mentioned Doidge as well, last time I saw him (and don't think he's played since) was up Luton. He scored, looked the only player actually interested and did more in 10 minutes than the rest managed from the get go. Yet that's apparently not good enough to get a go in a miserably failing team.

After reading some of this thread though, almost before a new manager we need a board who have a few balls around the table. Yes 22nd is survival, but surely not a target.....! I'm still convinced the squad is more than capable of being closer to the top 4, rather than the bottom 4.

I don't know an awful lot about Southport, and I didn't see the first game, but from hearing it on the radio it seems as though we would benefit from a physical presence up top, and on that basis I see no reason why we shouldn't start Doidge (if fit, and I haven't heard anything about him being injured). Doidge alongside Cureton has potential to work as a little and large partnership, even just as a one off. What we cannot do is play one forward up top as it just won't work.

And I for one am excited by that! I agree that I'd like to see more of Doidge though

I'm all for giving Doidge a go, he definitely offers something different, but in the one game I've really seen him get some minutes was the ESC game and I thought he was poor, obviously not a great game to make a real decision on him, but those games are for players like him to prove his worth I guess.

Unfortunately, the only way the majority will push their views on the Board would be if we all voted with our feet. THEN they would HAVE to do something...

But the gits sold us cheap season tickets so we can't even do that now!! :lol:

Makes me wonder if this wasn't expected by Dave The Plumber?!
