I see Belper have signed a new keeper and we've recalled Ollie Battersby although he's credited as a big reason for their good league position.

I wonder if we have another loan lined up for him, Crocombe/McKeown are injured/leaving or we don't want him playing second fiddle at Belper.

The daft rumours about Mckeown gain momentum, so maybe he’s offski? Battersby in as his backup?

I really don’t know what to think anymore.

I do hope that Battersby makes the grade, though.

It would be great if Battersby could go on to be our long-term number one, especially as he's truly one of our own.

I've seen some nonsense posted about McKeown but there has been every time he's not played a game or two so I tend not to believe any of it.

Surely he has come back because they no longer need him, so there is no point in him being there.

Sorry I have no conspiracy theory involving the demise of Macca.

The article states he was recalled after a really good spell so they got a replacement, hence the original post.    Did you read the article and read it differently or ......? 😉

I agree with your reading of the article. The Belper manager couldn’t have been more effusive in his praise for Battersby. It sounds as though he’s reached the next stage in his development, and may soon become a serious candidate for the number one spot at Grimsby.

Not as good as the spin-off, 8-1, presented by Tony Crane and Marcel Cas in 2003.

Battersby was in one goal in the training game at BP with Crocombe in the other so maybe Macca is injured?

I’d like to say. But if I did I would probably end up paying for it  !


The wife was going away for a girly weekend.
I jokingly remarked  'I don't know whether to spend it watching porn or watching football'
'you may as well spend it watching porn' she replied
That's understanding darling what makes you say that? I asked

She said 'Well you already know how to play football'

It would be great to see Battersby break into the team. I remember Hurst being complimentary about his form and fitness at the start of preseason but said he needed experience playing matches. Well he has some now, and obviously did a great job at a lower level. Question is can he do it at a higher level- like all young players the only way to find out is to give them a chance.

I don't for one second think the owners would ever interfere with team selection, but it wouldn't surprise me if Hurst has an objective or bonus for young players breaking into the team. Andrew mentioned it again in the podcast about their aspirations for young local talent like Max and Harry to make it into the team and importantly stay with the club at a young age, rather than being hoovered up by bigger clubs.

Would be fantastic if he's been brought back to come into consideration for a first team slot.

If that's their ambition, then they have the exact wrong manager for the job.

I've seen some rumours that Macca is on his way out of the club this Jan, I don't really believe that but stranger things have happened in football.

However, it did get me thinking about his testimonial season. Has there ever been a player that has left a club part way through his testimonial season? What happens with any forthcoming events? Does he just come back to attend them?

He signed in 2011 and had his testimonial against Rotherham in July just gone.

Yeah I know but there are often more than just the one event. I am sure I saw something recently about an evening event at McMenemy's, yet to be staged.

I could be wrong though.
