Best Of

I'd guess he'll go to someone else a bit higher up the leagues

If Mike Dodds is coming in, you would suggest that would increase Nathan Bishop’s chances.

Many....but a team from Cornwall playing a team from Devon and the crowd singing 'You dirty Northern bastards' has stuck in the mind.

Some bookies have stopped taking bets so seems likely.

Good timing. FA Cup free hit at the weekend. Almost 2 weeks to settle in until the next game.

Absolutely. He played the ref all afternoon. Whenever he got into a tussle with Udoh he went down like Dan had hit him with a cudgel to buy himself and his team time to reset. Off the pitch, he is a genuinely nice man.

I'd agree that 3 games is excessive

Taylor was fantastic today. There was a moment in the first half where he was sold a bit short with a pass back to him (not sure by) and not only dealt with it with minimal fuss but turned it into a progressive move. If we can get Low back soon, we're in a very strong position at CB. Haven't seen enough of Hagelskjaer to form a judgment yet, so I'd say those two are our best ball-playing CBs - Taylor particularly.

I thought we did reasonably well today in difficult circumstances.

Missing Harvie and Pattenden is really tough. Skura and Leahy did well but just don't have it in their toolkit to bomb forward up the wings.

Likewise, Udoh did well as the hold up players and was a handful. But he's not quite on Kone's level.

Bakinson had the best game I've seen from him. Thus far I've been pretty unimpressed but he played a few nice passes today and actually helped with some useful clearing headers at the end. Nonetheless, he just hasn't got the forward passing game Morley had.

Early in the season the balance of the team was just right. We had the perfect trio in midfield, two ever-present units at centre back. Attacking full backs. And 6 fit attackers to rotate.

Injuries and the loss of Morley mean the same balance just isn't quite there now.

A lot clearly hinges on how effectively the new recruits can impact the team.

Getting Caleb back is a huge boost and makes me think we might just be able to get over the line to 2nd place. He really is absolutely fantastic. A potential PL centre back in the future I think.

I think these situations are so unjust as it means a player and hence his team get punished 3 times for the same offence, I.e. penalty, red card and 3 match ban. In this case the punishment doesn’t fit the crime.
