Succession Game

Big signing that, will do us well until the Championship.



Nothing available from the Parent Club?

I was a bit worried about having Hause on such high wages and restricting potential new signings because of it but I also tried to offload Smith and Jackobson is also leaving so should alleviate some pressure.

After two weeks of delaying we could finally get Nolan. He's currently injured for 3 weeks, and so is Pipe so it will be Wedgbury or Bennett on the right back in the start of the season.



I'm pretty sure we had him last year as well. He can play in a couple of positions, so I'm happy to have him.



Back up goalkeeper with some potential. And he's an international.

A free loan from our parent club. And with a pretty cool name.

The old man still got it. He had another goal disallowed in overtime as well. A perfect start in the league.

A largely rotated side faced Gillingham in the Capital One Cup. Substitute goals from both Norwood and Malbon. And as Spanky pointed out earlier: Elliot Frear need some more games this year - 3 assists from him in this match. Hause scored his first goal for the club from the left back position.

Johnny Gorman, indeed we did have him last year and I was scouting him for nostalgic purposes lol.

Yeah I like the look of Frear, something about him and he keeps performing when he gets the chance.

Here's my results. Some heavy defeats: In the Coventry game Dunkley was so lost the first 30 minutes (4-0 down at that point) that I was wondering if I could takie him off, not necessarily replacing him with someone else, but just to get him off the pitch. Against Yeovil we played okay, but they scored, and we didn't. Huddersfield are a Premier League side and a win was never on the cards.

After that we improved slightly and we're sitting rather comfortably in 10th place in the league, 5 points down to the relegation zone.



Over to Cymro (if you don't want to take a bite, Fola)

I'll skip this round too lads, sorry Uni work is driving me insane.

First news item that appears, possibly no loss but a local club has cut ties with us.

Lucky, is not even the word. We got out of the game with a point somehow. Not complaining but we were lucky as anything.

Second big team on the trot and we came away with a miracle 3 pointer. Worst thing is we had the chance to really take them on when they went down to 10 men. We failed to take advantage and in fact Bristol came back in some force.

Secured this lad on loan. International experience and will give us some much needed quality in terms of cover at center back and central midfield.

Frankly embarrassing. Players were made aware of it. The skipper led from the front but the defence was fragile at best.

Downside of the game ... Rooney and a costly £6k ... money leaving when we need to keep.

On trial to see if we can negotiate a deal for the wide man, also to bring pressure on our wingers who I feel are not performing at the moment.

This guy can't stay fit. He has yet to feature for me because he is injured in some capacity. No doubt he is class but we need to look to get rid I feel.

Another trialist who I feel could be of some use, depends on wages and potential.

And another trialist ...

Rodgers has declined in stats and is not able to produce for us. Looking at an alternative, Tubbs is that man. Demands are pretty high mind.

Beat a struggling Scunthorpe who are bottom of the league, surprising since they have Paul Madden one of the most prolific strikers at this level. Contract due up at the end of the season and someone we should and could sign to help us on our quest. Uche and the Kluk are quality together, love feeding off each other.

Another trialist ... unlikely to sign mind.

Another striker on trial. Doubt he is good enough but has proven experience at a higher level.

Big win in the JPT, against a struggling Swindon. Chuffed to come away with a win. Progression in the cup.

I love an injury. Hero Rooney is a man down.

And another bites the dust ... c'mon

This guy is unreal. Available for £650 and an instant upgrade, Nigerian international and ex-Man City player. Confident I can get him! Sadly however work permit failed on 4 occasions ... went on to sign for Evian I think.

A much different Swindon side, we took them for granted and just about walked away with a win.

A thriller that we allowed to happen. Had we bothered to defend we would have not conceded three goals. Uche is a quality striker at this level. Fitness however is an issue for him. Picks up little knocks during games.

Peterborough are a side with a lot and I mean a lot of ex-Prem and Champ quality players. I was worried but the players delivered. Shouldn't have worried. We came, we saw and we conquered. Rovers away.
