Take Away...

Cadden, a 21 year old midfielder went off injured yesterday with a hamstring strain.

Yes think he's a wide player who a Scotland youth international in different age groups and so on. Don't know much about the pair of them.

We should be looking to improve our squad at every transfer window. We have twice been down to our last 18 players in recent weeks (although we clearly had some very bad luck with injuries. We also had 4 players who reached 5 bookings (Pearson, Huntington, Johnson and Fisher) all of whom may well go on to get 10 before the next amnesty. Would argue that in addition to the DCM, we definitely need a permanent forward or 2, another defender and a right sided midfielder. We can then afford to offload a few of the players lower down the pecking order, like Vermijl & Pringle.

I agree that we do need to look to improve our squad every window, but we don't need a lot of signings in the jan window especially as it will take time for squad members to get used to the style of play/link up with team mates etc. A centre forward and a midfielder are a must - anything else is a bonus. We also don't need 2 centre forwards unless we sell Hugill. One more will be enough as we usually only play with one striker anyway and barky and robinson can both fill in as a last resort.

...that horrible 4 game losing streak when we had 11 players out (Rudd, Vermijl, Clarke, Cunningham, Davies, Woods, Fisher, Spurr, Welsh, Maguire, Earl) and it is only the 1 defeat - to a dubious penalty at that! - in the other 17 games.

I think the gaffer - and the players - know what they are doing.

The 2nd half of the season, with hopefully 3 or 4 quality new arrivals (within our budget) to ease the work load on certain areas of the 11 in January, and it should be an exciting run in to May. We will certainly better both the 11th and 62 points of the past 2 seasons.

Turn up v Sheffield United people and back this team onto its inevitable march into the Top 6.


COYW!!!

Take-away the 4 years spent in league 1 and we would have been in the championship for 17 years.

Spooky.

Fact is e can’t take those away and if we are 1 point or 12 points off they will count.

We are close but like under Simpson when he had lost a back 4 upon joining we could miss out by the slimmest of margins. We need to keep going and invest in January just in case we have another injury crisis.

Back the manager and Ridsdale.

The last time I came on here spouting the 'I believe!' stuff, we went on the horrendous run.
Think I'll just keep me gob shut.
