We could have Podge back as he made himself "unavailable for selection" today for the monkey hangers, a move on the cards or just his true colors. As you would imagine he's getting crucified on social media etc
NEWPORT County AFC have been heavily linked with a move for Hartlepool United striker Padraig Amond tonight.

What do we do then? Keep them and pay them their full whack instead when they're no use to us at all on the pitch?
If nobody wants them we are stuck with them. Some of these players will no doubt have signed here because we were their best option this summer, what makes you think they are going to want to move on if they have a nice 2 year deal to sit on.

Because if a player can earn the same money (part contributed by GTFC) and get game time it's far better for their long term career than not getting a game for one season or two. Players actually prefer to be playing rather than sat on their asses in the reserves. Not playing for a whole season could result in being the end of their career..

I'm sorry I just can't see it happening before the window snaps shut, there's not enough time and frankly I can't imagine clubs coming forward to sign these players. Slade has had all summer and this is obviously the best he could do.

I agree mate. Don't think there's the will to do it at the club at all. We will just be expected to turn up and pay to watch shite..

Two weeks ago we were virtually guaranteed to be in the play offs, now it looks like our 2 year stay in the FL is over

If there ever was a result and performance in August that should make our non-chairman and manager shite their pants then this was it. Hope Slade is nervously looking around the coach hoping no one will notice the smell and Fenty is fretting trying to break away from a delirious Stevenage chairman's long winded conversation. Time for this pair to get radical and ship out players who the fans have known for a year are just not good enough, stop signing journeyman after journeyman and bring at least one or two with real quality in. Tear up plan A and think about plan B sharpish. No evidence of any of the Bogle money being spent over the summer so far at all. Bargain basement signings. Only Karleigh Osbourne, DJ, Dembele and Mitch Rose have come here with an ounce of a positive reputation and two of them can't get a game.
Keeper - mixed season at best last year Centre Halves - big brains, slow legs Full Backs - one learning, one meh and another one the wrong side of thirty five Centre Mid - Mitch Rose, that's it Wide - we're fine as long as Sam Jones doesn't play there and we can get the ball to their feet Strikers - the only one that excites me has been injured ever since he's got here and SV is just ok, the rest?
Yes we've got injuries but every club has two or three out at any one point, it's normal.
Either Fenty's being really tight, Slade has overestimated his skills in getting a rag tag bunch of professionals together to play point grabbing hoofball or Slade has underestimated this division. Probably all three. Out of the two, I trusted RS to know better.
Time to tell some players that they are not good enough to get a game at GTFC, move them on or pay them off and time to spend some dough on some proper players or loans of youngsters from higher up with discipline, heart and a play for the badge spirit. Early stages but the signs are not good, 30 shots conceded in our solitary victory, no shots on target at home to Coventry and today's debacle.
Tick Tock..
Bump JF, please read this and act on it before it's too late..

We desperately need at least another full back and a centre back. A centre midfielder of real quality is a must, even if it's a promising youngster from higher up the league ladder. Ideally a striker as well.
