Well it makes Saturday's friendly a bit more significant. It will be a marker to see how we compete against (on paper) a decent squad and representative of a team favourite to finish in the top four. Pity we have so many injuries as i feel an indifferent result will bring the naysayers out in force!!

Quoted from Northbank Mariner
did Mrs Peacock do it with the candlestick in the kitchen?...


She certainly did.

I’ve seen the video 😳


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'

My only concern is clubs have strengthened their top end better than us but I would say the likes of Fox, Coke, Macatee, Sousa and Revan mean we only need a fit Taylor/Lewis and we'll fine....trying to stay as positive as possible without completely p!ssing my pants.

Great signing for Chesterfield that - they will be member a hoop.

We have obviously been turned down by all our first choice targets otherwise they would be in the building by now, so we can only speculate what the problem is. Surely it's not money, as we must be the most financially viable club in the league, apart from Wrexham.

If by fine you mean mid-table, then yes, we'll be fine..

Desperately short of pace and firepower up front.. probably need two in with Taylor as back up. Not expecting much at all from LJL..

I seriously think we were close to getting him. Standby for someone we’ve never heard of that’s scored 2 in 342 games.

We are so far behind the pack in the National League now. Get comfortable guys because I think we’re here to stay!!

I do think we need two good strikers signing, we can't rely on John Lewis and Taylor, both wrong side of 30, both Injured, both not regular scorers

I’m not sure if we were in for him or not, I’d suggest the minor meltdown on here is the result of people realising that those around us continue to sign strikers and that the ‘there aren’t any available’ excuse may be wearing slightly thin for even the most ardent user of the phrase.

Actions speak louder than words. We have a very decent looking defence and midfield yet can’t attract a striker. Be prepared for a lot of 0-0.

Like others I thought we may have pulled off something of a coup with Tshimanga so it's disappointing to see he's opted for a non league rival.

Podge going to Exeter rubs salt in the wound.

But hopefully we can entice Cheek up north, if he's still available?

If not, I'm sure Hurst has other targets on his radar and as others have said the Dembele money - or lack of, at present - may mean we have to keep our powder dry for a little longer.

Here's hoping a marquee no 9 signing comes through the doors in the next few days.
