He's a winger in a 4 4 2 or 4 3 3, which is why he was so effective when the shape changed second half.
It will be interesting to see if DC sticks with the 4 at the back.

Artemis

Beat Burton away, and it's back in our own hands.

I don't think so. They were both on one month notice contracts.

Artemis

Not sure I implied it was? So what were you implying? I believe he is implying that given the losses in FY2022-23 it is even more infuriating we let May go so cheap in this financial year - we could have done with selling May for £500k to get us back in the black in the next accounts. Or tried to h...

Maybe Olayinka will get a game?

Artemis

Was one of those nights. We're not going to get points from every remaining game, in some we're going to struggle to look even a half-decent team. Six wins and a couple of draws is all we need now. Its going to be a bumpy ride.

Artemis

Maybe they've asked for only 1000 ish, or maybe someone at the club is listening.
Will be interesting to see if we can sell out the CF on a Tuesday night with ECL on the TV (albeit with no English clubs playing that night)

Apart from Celtic and Rangers....

I'll take a point right now thanks.

Again - as poor a start as it was, we were only 7 points off safety when he took over. We were further behind a couple of weeks back. Maths and logic being distorted a bit. Not the same being 7 points behind after 11 games as being 7 points ish behind after 20 games Whilst I think I get the sentime...

Artemis

Apparently Wigan have no available right backs or right wingbacks for tomorrow night through suspension and injury so talk that they're changing formation. Wonder whether that will work for or against us. Hopefully Ferry will be as hot as he was last Saturday and take full advantage. no right side ...

Artemis

I'd take Matty Taylor over Etete every single time. And possibly over Alfie too.

As much as he played a big part of aour promotion, Raglan isn't a patch on Freestone, Shepherd or Davies.
Mattie Pollock, possibly for Shepherd or Freestone.

Artemis

Sounds like there's been a couple of league one clubs chasing him. I reckon we weren't one of them.

Artemis

If he keeps us up (and it's still a big if), he'll have both promotions and relegation saving achievements on his CV. That'll make his star shine bright with other clubs...thankfully he's on a longish deal

Artemis

I wonder what standard of overall play the league of Ireland is feels more like lower league two top end of national league given some of fringe players go out and do well there. Go watch a game. I can thoroughly recommend Brandywell, home of Derry City (they play in red and white strips as a bonus...

Artemis

My 11: Scott Brown - I know he went to Aberdeen and played in Europe, but he came back and wanted to come back again (It's f#!$ £5k Johnson!!!) Jerry Gill Mark Freeman Alan Bennett Jamie Victory John Finnigan Lee Howells Dave Bird George Lloyd Neil Grayson Damian Spencer Alan Bennett???? Really Goo...

Artemis

Anyway, Bob Bloomer would be in my 11, along with Dave Bird, holding the midfield together.
Gavin Caines and Andy Gallinagh at the back. Grayson up front along with Damien Spencer. Book in goal.

I'll think of the rest later.

Artemis

Excluded from the discussion? Really? Surely players like Duff, McCann, Butland can be discussed, even if, as is the case, the discussion is brief to discount them based on the criteria set.

Artemis

If we're still in touch with safety by the time the Roofers game comes round, surely with some marketing, we can fill the CF with home support and not have to give them blocks 7 & 8.
Come on Board, you know what to do

Artemis

Apparently, Dwight Gale is at Vale Park trying to sort a deal with Moore.....take your time lads, sort it Monday.... 34yrs old 7.5k a week good luck to them getting him up and running quickly. Not sure it is a viable report, Think he has history with D Moore at WBA. That's the link. Yes, the link i...

Indeed, they're a lot flatter than they used to be.

Long's corners and crosses are also very impressive.

Artemis

What is every bodies list of 5 penalty takers in order if on the pitch. Mine is, Taylor, Sercombe, Nuttall, Long, Keena. So if we get another penalty does Keena take it? Would have thought Pett might take a good un. Taylor, Keena, Sercombe, Ferry and hoping one of those will always be on the pitch....

Artemis

One difference though. Keena scored has at least scored a few (last season), something Connor never did.
Keena will come good. We've already seen how good he can be.
His attitude to front up to take the pen was top notch.

Artemis

it's not too late to get a free agent in. Question is whether there are any we can afford who will do a better job than the ones we have, and who wants to come to us.

Artemis

Oh FFS when is Lloyd going to get some luck. It was very, very tight. Not sure he was offside. Probably wasn't the way it's going. George Lloyd works so hard we love that, but he has to add goals/assists to become a great Robin ? Creating space and chaos for others to exploit and score will do for ...

Artemis

Is he any relation to Mickey? No idea who ‘he’ or ‘Mickey’ are so cannot help you old chap. We had a player called Micky Nuttall way back to late 80's approx. Don't think he played more than 10 games for us before transferring to Wycombe. Imagine Goodwin with long curly locks and a tan!!! Mickey 't...

Back to the original topic. Cambridge has to be in a bit of doubt this weekend, surely? A lot of wear and tear on the pitch on Tuesday followed by persistent, heavy rain forecast for today and tomorrow. Would not be at all surprised if it postponed. Just hope they are sensible and do it early if th...

Artemis

To coin a DC phrase, we are a million miles away from becoming an established League One side. And that's not because of mismanagement, it's because we are fundamentally a small fish in a relatively large pond. Until our incoming increases to the point where we are in financial mid-table, we will a...

DC said it would be on non-contract terms, whoever it is / was. I can't recall the last time we had a player on non-contract terms.

Artemis

I'd say progressing from a Southern League club to third tier is good going to be honest. The likes of Rochdale spent 30 years in the same division. Oldham spent 20 at League 1 level before dropping like a stone. Sometimes it's a good thing to take a step back and just appreciate how far we've come...
