My best guess would be Mattie Pollock switching from Cheltenham to us on loan


Out of interest, did the club catch you out by only telling certain people that our Number N N N N NINE was on the verge of signing?

Also, if the role of Chief Operating Officer was advertised, would you have applied for it?

Cover for Longe-King - PH sounded like it was a recurrence of a previous injury.

Played left wing back in his three league games for Bristol City last season. I wonder if it’s a signal that Hurst intends to play three at the back more often. The fact that he’s started league games for a side as good as Bristol City is very encouraging to me.

Pretty happy with this one, despite having never heard of him two hours ago.

Robin - a post about signing someone called “Banks” is now outdated already.

Well we scored four and it should have been more on Saturday. At the same time we conceded 3 to a team who had scored 1 goal in 3 games before that. So which end of the pitch would that suggest the most pressing concerns were?

The Telewag describe him as a midfielder who can cover in the back 4 - does that mean someone already confident with the ball to feet and able to play out from the back?

Less hoof ball as in previous years, and hopefully more good ground level passing.

If he has played at a higher level and they think enough to offer a new 3 year contract, we could have made another good versatile signing.

A good defence takes pressure off the attacking players to have to score 4 each week, and will help Hurst to make the right striker decision going forward.

Hurst having more choice from EFL clubs needing to loan out a player needing a hardening up experience at our level.

The wait continues !

Suspensions, cup games, covid and injuries could soon decimate our left side. Longe King is one of our quicker players and although Crookes can fill in at centre back in emergency, he isn't the quickest. Revan is quick but is possibly seen as a left mid.

Meanwhile, that Charles Hagan from Wednesday would fit in nicely with our new higher tempo attacking game. Max can play on either wing as can Sousa. Crosses into the box, like Taylor's goal, are a rich source of goals at this level and playing out for a 1-0 victory is very difficult with ageing defenders.

If we can't sign a 20+ goal a season no.9 then give McAtee more support. Hopefully, Bapaga will make a claim for the left side by whipping balls in at pace as he gains in confidence.

I’m not sure if you were at Stockport and if you weren’t I’m sorry to disappoint but Revan is most definitely not quick
