Drew 0-0 vs Plymouth. Reasons for the draw are us being incompetent in front of the goal, Lee Clark being incompetent by taking out our only proven goalscorer this season and the goalie playing a FUCKING BLINDER

Lost 2-3 at Fleetwood. Jermaine Beckford missed a last-second penalty to equalize.

Don't rate De Boer after his failed time at Inter either, but it's hardly his fault his players have occasional brain failures and forget how to football

Imagine the following scenario: You sign tons of players with good quality for League One and you end up playing 38 year-old player-coach Ryan Lowe upfront. That is exactly what happened yesterday.

Can't even blame the lads for not trying, but we never ever looked like we're going to score. Hence, Josh Morris free-kick, 1-0, loss. Shit is getting real

Does he still sign 4 million midfielders only to not settle on a regular pairing? Thinking about his midfield signings for us, he made a fair few (some of whom were quite good, to be fair.)

Antony Kay, Danny Drinkwater, Scott Arfield, Joey Gudjonsen, Damien Johnson, Anton Robinson, Tommy Miller, Kevin Kilbane... I'm not convinced he ever really brought in anyone in central midfield who improved upon the regular Jim Goodwin/Michael Collins pairing. Though that was probably because he played those two together week-in, week-out for six months before starting to sign players - worth pointing out that two of those midfielders he signed are Premier League regulars these days


He's evolved an signs tons of defenders nowadays. In fairness, we had hard luck in pre-season with O'Connell and Edwards picking up bad injuries there, so we were on the backfoot from the start. We wanted to play 4-4-2 but when our midfield talisman Stephen Dawson got injuried vs. Sunderland in the League Cup, things went a bit tits up. Clark went back to 5 at the back after this, then realized that due to injuries we don't have the amount of defenders to play 5 at the back and signed loads of them. He then realized, our midfield was still very light and signed Rohan Ince to make up for that. Given that we have just signed a winger I believe we might go back to 4 at the back again.

Clark has already lost the plot. I don't really think he knows what his best XI is.

Never actually signed for us as he just joined on non-contract forms for our game at Wigan. Might be too shit for Villa, so not going where daddy's at I suppose.

HOWEVER, the defender we signed from Southend earlier on in June..... has signed for Bradford on loan for the season, so there you fucking go.

We also signed some Romanian winger from Bournemouth today, called Mihai Dobre. I know absolutely nothing about him, but if he gets past the 2 game mark he must be qualifying for a fucking testimonial nowadays GOOD GOD I want the transfer window too end so much, jesus

Well, drew 0-0 at Spotland today. Must be pleased with that given that Joe Murphy was sent off for handling the ball outside his area. Not really much action. Many fouls, not a lot of football, pretty meh game all around. LC has already predicted a hectic deadline day so here we go then

Lee Clark will go down as one of the worst managers in our history...and we had Colin Hendry and Mugdonald. I can't even remember his real name...Fat Sam's old number 2.

I agree Rohan Ince should do well for you, easily good enough for League 1.

Oldham visit us tomorrow, confident of a win for a change!


Neil McDonald? I believe that's who you think of. 99% sure he was Peter Jackson's assistant when he was at Lincoln, needless to say that didn't quite work. Works as manager at Limerick in Ireland now and is under heavy crossfire there but picked up a win last weekend at Bohs if my memory serves me right

Lee "The Transfer One" Clark has struck again! Not once but twice! Our squad size must be around 30 now!

First up we signed Rohan Ince on a season-long loan from Brighton. I am very pleased with that. I thought he played very well in a very shit Swindon side last season and looked an absolute unit in the middle of the park. Probably the replacement for Stephen Dawson, who is indeed out for a few months.

Second is yet ANOTHER loan signing from Huddersfield. We might aswell merge and call ourselves Huddersbury Town, play all the big PL games at the John Smith's and the irrelevant cup ties at the Energy Check Stadium at Gigg Lane or so. Anyway, Jordan Williams joins on loan. Young lad, been capped for England youth teams. Don't know a lot about him but heard he played really well against Rovrum in his professional debut in mid-week. Thoughts? @terriersmad

Big game at Rochdayul tomorrow. Surprsied this wasn't picked by Sky but nevermind. Be interesting to see how we bounce back from last week's shocker against Brizzle Rovers. If we lose this, expect quite a meltdown Plenty of amends to be made if we do get a win though

Ryan Mason seeks third opinion on coming back to play football after skull fracture.

I'm kind of torn about this. Obviously if this third doctor says he shouldn't, then it's a no-brainer. However, if the doctor says he can go back to playing football professionally...would it be something you would be comfortable with if it was you? One doctor suggesting it would not be safe for me to play football would be enough to make me throw in my boots I reckon, even if two others said it'd be alright. I don't know the ins and outs of it, so maybe something like a skull cap rugby and Cech style may prove the difference in which case fair enough. Feel sorry for the guy though, don't think he really has had a proper run at a career as a footballer. Spurs shipped him out here, there and everywhere and just as it was picking up at Hull for him he suffered this injury...

I'm sure if he did chose to retire from football the FA would fast track his coaching and Hull or Spurs would bring him in as a youth coach or something to get him on his feet!


If I was him, I'd call it a day. Not just because doctors said I couldn't but also because I would want to be at my 100% best if I was to return. I'm not a psychologist by any means, but surely if you had such a massive injury to your head, it must somewhere in your mind right? Just imagine this: 90th minute in a Championship match against physical side, you are defending a 1-0 lead and you're facing a 1 vs 1 aerial duel against someone. Would you put your body 100% on the line to win the header? Are you willing to risk it? Can you be 100% focused and commited to football knowing that one header might fuck you and after everything you've been through? The Petr Cech comparison doesn't quite cut it for me, because as a keeper you don't have to use your head, whereas it is a necessary to do that in an outfield position. Massive decision for Ryan Mason that is for sure. I wish him all the best in whatever decision he chooses to make but if I was him, I'd be sensible and stop.

Your 2 goals came in injury time too, no?


More or less, Beckford's goal might have been about a minute from stoppage time, but that's just splitting hairs tbh. Clark correctly pointed out that both our goal just paper the crack and that the game was just very crap

Another highly entertaining and thrilling encounter at La Stade de Gigg ends with yet ANOTHER loss. This time 2-3 against Brizzle Rovers Gas Franchise, who were absolutely pants before this game so probably a banker that they would be beating us.

YAY

Should be a good game this.


I lied, it was crap. Created nowt and one mistake at the back sealed it for them. Hopefully Stephen Dawson our skipper will be alright, that all that matters to me now. Apparently he only has lateral ligament injury, which wouldn't need an op, so that would be good for us and a lot less than I first feared when he went down. Looked horrible.

Glad we're missing out on a dull away day in Carlisle though
