Release them all, bar Gardner, who should be sold to the glue factory.

It was Ethan Walker a few weeks ago, he'd change everything and be just what we need. He played a few games, was shite, and now he never mentions him.

Relations between Halifax and Udders aren't great at board level.

Lundstram is showing green shoots. Raglan had been dropped after a substandard start before Mellon came in, but is now probably the #1 pick at the back. Hudson isn't everyone's cup of tea, but has made the #1 shirt his own. Gardner (retire please) is probably playing at the top of his game - certainly better than what he was under DU.

That's a failing on the medical department, if they're failing to veto signings based on injuries/condition.

Who signed him?

Stop digging

Bit different when you have a match every week to prepare for though, isn't it? And the players he's brought in aren't from the end of season free transfer pool, they're the ones clubs were happy to let go part way through a season - either recently long term injured or deemed surplus to requirements - sticking plasters in other words. Judge him on the squad he builds after the summer activity.

That huge expectation was foolish though. We ended last season with DU fluking his way to a decent run of results, but at no stage did we look like real contenders, and that continued at the start of this season, even with a few decent (on paper) signings. The longer we don't play over the summer, the better we get on paper. But reality is a harsh mistress. It's the same with any player who's out of the side for a while - the calls grow and grow to get them back in the side as they must be better than the crap currently playing. Conveniently forgetting that the likely reason they're out of the side in the first place is they were crap themselves previously. People need to reset their expectations. We're in non-league. We're able to attract better talent than most others in non-league, but the players are never going to be world beaters. We're up against sides who've played together for longer than we have, who normally do one thing really well. We're still building that, and repairing the damage done by the AL years. It's going to take time - we're not going to win every match. It's foolish to judge MM based on what we've seen so far - most of the players aren't his, and he hasn't had a pre-season to properly bed in what he wants to do.

Nonsense

Almost as if the players are......a bit dim?

1 point. Great.

25/1 to promote (or 16/1 if you like poor value)

1-0 Fylde, 10/1

Hard to pick one out tbf

Just a bad tackle wasn't it? 1 game ban (which was Saturday)?

Don't forget to scrub off penalties
