Although not ideal having the game postponed and the extra fixture congestion this may cause around Christmas could this free week have actually helped the squad. We are now able to get an extra weeks training into McAtee ready for a start on Saturday and extra time on the training pitch in 11 v 11's for Scannell, Grant and John Lewis. Also Wright should be back involved.
Thoughts?

Pretty much what you said. Don’t think we’ll be worse off than anyone else congestion wise.

It is just as likely somebody else will pick up a knock in training.

There is never a right or wrong way to look at these things - similarly when we hope our next opponent has 2 men sent off and play extra time they look as fresh as daisies by the weekend.

Nothing seems to be going our way at the moment- yesterday's results went against us again and we really do need to up our game in all areas if we are going to be in the shake up at the end of the season.

A good transfer window would give us a better chance and it will be instructive to see if we make any signings when the window opens to show our intent.

I had a similar thought yesterday. Further to the potential benefits injury and fitness-wise, next week’s game at Dagenham currently looks a little less scary than it did a couple of weeks ago. They’re one of the few sides below us in the form guide, and only above King’s Lynn and Dover.

Can’t take anything as given, we’ve lost to far poorer sides than the Daggers in recent weeks, but we should at least now go into that game free of excuses.

Yup, also everyone else in the top 10 other than County & the Daggers who have both played 18 are now level on 17 games which gives a clearer view in my mind.

We're 4 points of the top with 29 games to go, and still to play the 3 teams above us twice. Personally it's still the play off's I'd reckon.

Credibility, I would describes as “Iffy”

However, would be a good signing if so.

Unusual that nothing has been said on social media

What a lovely name. Should fit in well with our middle-class values and aspirations which seems by far to be the most important criteria.  

If it is him, I wonder if he is any good?

There does seem to be bit of a shortage of hurst type of player hence still no no.9 so perhaps he’s having to widen his horizons

Jordan Maguire Drew is capable of brilliance, but also he is capable of going missing in games, he is your typical lower league winger, he was excellent for Dagenham and Redbridge 16-17 season and he was also very good for Orient in 19-20 season.

You know me too well! I didn't think that through properly.

A cheap shot born out of frustration that our signings aren't making what few hairs I have left stand up.

Let's hope he turns out to be just the ticket if he does sign.

If that's true then it's not a particularly exciting signing. Lincoln supporting friends of mine were very underwhelmed when he played for them.

The gap caused by the absence of Grant, Scannell and Wright which means we have 2 fit wingers at the club, both of whom are blowing very hot and cold at the moment?

Heck, Harry Clifton has been out wide most of the season and he's done a decent job considering, but he's not a wide man.

Perhaps Hurst can get a tune out of him where others can't. I don't think PH would be signing a waster.

He's had some good seasons along with the bad ones, so maybe he just needs the right environment.

If he is signing, then he starts with no preconceptions from me. Lincoln fans said Nolan was sh1te, so...

Couldnt be more wrong if you tried .  Never going to get out of this pub league by signing  maby`s or cdajatl. We need players first before a pub etc. after all isnt football all about the team.

I don't think anybody was excited when we signed a Scunthorpe youngster that couldn't get in their team. Turned out he was alright. Same for a Lincoln reject in midfield when we got promoted.

My affinity for Hurst is waning, but he certainly has a knack of getting the best out of players that others have cast off.

People are talking about the amount of clubs Maguire-Drew has had. We will be the 10th club he has been at by the age of 24 but 6 of them were loans. He managed 58 games in 2 years at Orient followed by another 17 games on loan at Crawley for the second half of last season.
