  1. all we need is to win every remaining game and we finish as champions 4 points clear coyb
  2. I know some of the football and effort levels have been dire but that seems a bit harsh
  3. makes a cameo in the highlights of the facup 5th rd in 1977 link from lookerstandandy's thread of footage
  4. Great player. Had a lot of power in his boots. Seemed an old man to the young me but boy could he play. As said above part of a gradual rebuild to better things. RIP John
  5. can't see them winning BBC suggests they used one bottle over Christmas and New Year- lightweights https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/uk-england-somerset-67891534
  6. maybe in time but it wouldn't be in my first 4 upgrades
  7. I'd be happy to see Barnet and Bromley drop points. We are close enough to Alty not to worry at this stage. 2/3rd gives an advantage and looks a stretch but...........
  8. Think that is a fair observation Dave. The bottom four maybe not full blown latics crisis but not sure any of them are healthy. Don't know if anything is happening behind the scenes at FGR but they look on course for successive relegations Sutton look like they have peaked Rapid manager turnover at Colchester -You probably have more intel on what's happening there than I do Hopefully Salford have peaked and we pass them on their way down
  9. Not sure Dave, 4 possibly of the top 5 'recently' promoted? which supports the best of NL competes with L2 argument 3 of the bottom 4 I'd think of as non league teams punching above their weight (- but these things all hinge on when you started watching football.) Colchester will be on their 8th manager in 3 years- that feels like an indicator of decline.
  10. I think it clear he has talent. Start of September they said he would be out for six months. Made his return on boxing day and did what 30 mins of normal time today. We've had a lot of crocks nursed between games in recent times- I'd want to see him reestablished before I spent money on him. EFL window about to open- I'd be happy for MM to use his contacts and bring a loan or two to the end of the season. We must look a better prospect for a loanee now than last year.
  11. Isn't there a takeover in the offing? Anything could happen. Bit of a gamble though- the lad has had two cameo appearances since a major hamstring issue.
  12. Finally we have someone scoring against a former club- rather than an ex scoring against us. COYB
  13. Listening to the local BBC commentary they sounded pretty much the same as we normally are.
  14. Not really Pidge. Under the muppets we had a lot of short term loanees who didn't seem interested whilst we weren't bringing on much of our own. There were notable exceptions Lang , Surridge, Bryne, Iverson, Palmer etc and the best of them probably raised the game of those around them I agree that if we brought a couple in there might not be anybody missing out now but I think it has been an issue in the past. I agree it works well for the higher clubs and your point about them hoarding players who then drop out is valid too. On greedy league budgets it is relatively cheap to keep a teenager on what for most people would be an incredible salary on the off chance a few of them make it or can be sold on for millions. I'm not sure how one would legislate for it but some element of 'use them or release them' with some sort of cap on overall numbers might release a few more nearly men whilst they are still hungry.
