    Yes it was, from a great cross from Bradley Diallo.

    In recent times both Bradford and Huddersfield have had higher average crowds than us to begin with, even before they tried their respective season ticket promotions. They have also had success on the pitch to complement this which makes it a lot easier to sell to the average punter than an annual relegation battle with dour performances.

    RW alluded to this in the piece in the MEN that somebody has put a link to. He said he wants a squad of 20 quality players as anything bigger is difficult to work with. He also said that he’d welcome players who are better than what we have but we shouldn’t just be signing players just for the sake of it.

    My main concern with all these unknown foreign players coming in is whether they’re up to it. The club isn’t in a position to be letting unknown quantities cut their teeth. Hopefully there’ll be a few established players coming in to drag us out of this mess.

    McLaughlin was in acres of space several times too and didn’t get a pass. When he did eventually receive the ball it was after several unnecessary passes across the middle by which time Plymouth got men back and any advantage had gone. Like you say it was more noticeable with Nepo though.

    This sums up where I’m at.

    The pitch looked heavy and is showing signs of turning into a beach again. Looks like we may have to turn more direct at home and grind out results like we’ve had to in the past couple of seasons.

    The new guy is listed as a midfielder on wiki. Do we really need another midfielder?

    Thanks for replying so promptly. Hopefully Abdallah will outline his plans or vision for the club in the not too distant future. Most of us are still in the dark as to what they are apart from the short term, which is obviously to pull clear from the relegation zone.
  10. johnafoafc
    Excuse my ignorance but what exactly are Abdallah’s plans? Or will this be revealed in due course?
  11. johnafoafc
    I agree, he’ll be a good signing for them.
  12. johnafoafc
    They’ve paid around £300k for him according to someone on their forum.
  13. johnafoafc
    Like you said it saved his bacon it being chalked off. James looked a bit embarrassed by it.
  14. johnafoafc
    Ian Dowie had him on trial didn’t he? Or was it Talbot?
  15. johnafoafc
    David Eyres took that corner IIRC. Still don’t know why it was disallowed.
  16. johnafoafc
    Cashing in on the sell on clause was even worse. Especially when it was common knowledge he wanted to move back up north.
  17. johnafoafc
    I agree, he was useful as a second striker when we had nobody else last season and looked a threat. With regards to crossing, I miss having Eyres with his trickery on the left and Andy Liddell walking up and down the right to ping crosses in.

    It was mentioned in another thread that Corney offered him a new deal in the summer when Wigan were sniffing round but he made it perfectly clear he was off when his contract is up.

    We shouldn’t be looking to get rid of Davies unless Coventry are offering daft money for him. McLaughlin on the other hand, if Millwall or anybody else are offering hard cash for him we should snatch their hands off. He’s barely featured this season and hasn’t offered much when he has. It took him a while to get going last season too.
  20. johnafoafc
    The Bury fans seem to think he’s coming in as an assistant primarily but he is less experienced than his predecessor.
  21. johnafoafc
    Yes it was worth £40k. If we win at Shrewsbury then the club will receive £50k.
  22. johnafoafc
    That was during the Scunthorpe game. He was way off the pace and taken off after about 30 minutes or so.

    What an idiot she is! Sharing a bit of reliable transfer gossip is hardly sharing nuclear secrets with the Iranians. I look forward to seeing a bit of gossip when I read this board. I’m sure most others do too.
  24. johnafoafc
    His dad will be pleased about that. Although he should’ve been playing for the super white army at Woking.
  25. johnafoafc
    Unfortunately I think that’s the only way we can sign players of his calibre at the moment, like with Baxter. We pay them peanuts but don’t stand in their way once the first offer comes in from the big boys.
