Remember seeing him playing for us on loan from Leicester City - in the equivalent of the current Championship. He can always hurt us.
He (Ellison) has never played for us - has he? If he has I must have been in a coma.

I vaguely remember him playing for the reserves whilst on trial, but he never played for the first team

Regarding the budget. To me we use to have a better playing budget in the conference than we do now, Tait, Connel, Amond ect. Surely the budget in our non league days was alot less than it is now we are in league 2?

The season we got promoted the clubs wage budget was £1.6m. The first 2 seasons back in the EFL it was £2.3m and then £2.5m. That includes non-football staff, but it shows the budget has increased since promotion.

Very poor end to the season . Although if I’d been offered a lower mid table end position in August without the threat of relegation I’d have took it tbh . However , considering the position we were in , I’ve got to say the players and management have to take a long hard look at themselves. To roll over like this with 10-15 games left is fooking pathetic and to be quite truthful the majority of them can do one . I don’t think sacking Jolley and Limbrick would achieve anything but they have to look at the players they’ve got to work with and really make some tough decisions. The majority are just lower L2 / conference standard which is why are are where we are . Fenty has to up the ££ available and MJ has to find better players . It’s that simple .
Nail on head. I think only Hess mckeown and Hendrie out of the 14 today would get in a top half side.possibly Clifton and Dennis. The rest are barely above conference standard. That’s 9 or 10 players that need to be greatly improved or released.i just wish he’d play players in their natural positions instead of trying to shoe horn inadequate players into a system that doesn’t suit them.

Thought we were top half when Bignot was sacked and had just won away at Blackpool?
True that was a week or two after fielding an experimental side in a local derby and getting embarrassed by conceding 5 goals versus the free scoring league leaders. Add to that a massive playing squad sapping up the clubs coffers, nothing to play for and in the process. In addition to p1sing off most of the players left at the club who got us up after having just p1ssed off one the the biggest clubs in the World by throwing their England Youth keeper publicly under a bus so much so that they recalled him due to an "injury crisis", The fumiest thing about the Bignot reign is that we had a head of recruitment who just used to set the cones out on match day rather than being at other matches watching future targets. This actually is almost as funny as someone thinking we;d have progressed under Bignot..

I knew that after the Fgr game in August. I’m sorry but he’s another tony crane . Might have looked good as a 16 year old but never developed. Just a non league standard now .
