Hope everyone is happy now. Will he be a Swanny or Cox appointment,I guess time will tell.
Bit of a clue here, let’s hope ‘it’s the future Jerry’:-
“First team manager Neil Cox added: “Mark’s an experienced goalkeeper that we’ve tried to get a couple of times when I’ve been at other clubs”
I’m delighted and WG will be over the moon that his advice is being heeded.

Just a theoretical question. Do property developers/racehorse owners automatically know anything about football?
Interesting that PS has advisors when buying horses and allows a qualified trainer to train them and a qualified jockey to ride them. He is successful using this system, would it work with football?
“their back three was splitting and causing our front two massive problems”
I don’t quite undestand this. Firstly shouldn’t it be our front two causing their back three problems? Secondly if their back three are ‘splitting’ shouldn’t that create space for our front two to exploit? If a teams CBs are causing us problems then we really are in trouble.
“Cassidy, in this case we have no choice”
I’m not disputing that WG,as you say, it’s our only option. What I’m advocating is being careful in our choice. For instance you suggest:-
“Calum Woods at RB. Woods played 12 games last season in lg 1 with two assists so he must still have something to offer.”
Now I don’t know why he only played 12 games but could he be another Clarke?
That’s the cause of my concern, we’ve a habit of paying players for little return (e.g. Hammill) we can do without any more wage thieves.
That’s a big disappointment to me also WG. He’s done the lot as a player with years of experience but seems to be ineffective as an assistant. Does he fear for his job if he dares to interfere, can he not offer help and advice or is he just being ignored? Is he another with strings attached or a hand up his back?
“Plenty of players out there without a club, no excuse. I wouldn’t mind Conrad Logan, Woods, Junior brown and Wordsworth here.”
WG has highlighted what’s needed, no surprises as it’s been obvious to fans for some time and his suggestions might very well be the best available. Free agents are now our only option until January, my concern is why,at this point in the season, are these players still without a club. We could be looking at the bottom of a very deep barrel.
Look, I’ve been wrong a few times (Mrs CT will say it’s much more than that) but I can’t remember being as spectacularly wrong as I was about our players. In common with most others I had no idea as to the footballing ability of our new signings. What I thought I knew was that we had young footballers keen to forge a career in the game, prove they were up to league standard, even higher than league 2 in some cases. What I have seen is that few of them have that ability and even fewer have the desire. I hope call centre wages are not too far below what they’re earning now, the hours will be longer certainly.
Arguably the best we can field for that formation, just hope Gillead and Hippolyte are allowed into the opponents half. 6 attacking players gives some hope for positive intent, fingers crossed.

Cox says there are currently no other loan offers for their fringe players including winger Andy Dales, whose name has been circulated to other clubs. #uti #Iron
Hope you’re right about Trump, do you think he might consider buying PS out when he loses? We’re unlikely to make any profit so he won’t have to worry about paying tax which should appeal to him.
Here’s an idea for Neil in case he’s reading Bru.
Watson
Rowe Onariase Cordner/Bedeau Vincent
Gillead Taylor Spence Eisa
McAtee ANOther
Can’t pick a partner for McAtee as several have shown flashes of talent but little consistency. I think it’s reasonable to allow the manager some input anyway.
….but Cass doesn’t that bring us back around to the same old point, Swann believes he is correct doing it his way, he thinks it will eventually come right doing it his way. It’s a bit like telling Trump not to wear make-up because it makes him look as big a twat as he sounds, these egotistical people just don’t get it because their way is the only way. It’s sad but true, we are shafted.
The difference is that, despite being as you describe, Trump’s ego and tactics won an election, our tactics (whoever is to blame) are winning b….. all!
I completely understand the frustration with current affairs and, in particular, with the chairman. However there is one thing that I don’t understand at all.
Money comes into the club via supporters attending matches (or via ifollow at the moment) so how can it be in the chairmans interest to lose supporters by playing dire football and taking the club out of the league?
