    Does anyone remember our 8th summer linked with Billy Sharp? His legs have gone, far too old, not what we need.....those were the cries from the resident know it alls.

    Has grabbed 2 in 2 for Doncaster already.

    And here we are with Oliver and Smith who are shite, Young been sold to the highest bidder, some kid on loan from Fulham and Kavanagh who is clearly still learning the basics.

    I'm 60 and my legs would carry me on a firm grassy pitch in a short burst. Wait until it's icy and/ or muddy and see if he still has it. That said, I would have taken him over that lump of wood Oliver for a season without a blink.

    It’s that because our midfield looked all over the place? It was far too easy last night at times

    In other news Al Qadsiah have signed Casteels, Nacho, Aubeameyang and Dybala for the new Saudi season. Some new team mates for everyones favourite popular car magazine - Max Power.

    Just think, he could have been playing with Aden Baldrick and Vadaine Oliver if he had played his cards right.

    A fair point but Billy looks like looks after himself. Doesnt seem to have had too many injuries. Im a firm believer if you are good enough then you are young enough.

    Good old Bradford End a Sparks bot that comes out of the woodwork when the spot Lights on the hierarchy.

    He’ll be back sometime before the window with his mystic cryptic rumours.

    GA said they've had adult conversations with the lads who aren't making the squad at the moment about their roles and futures, Gilly being one of them. Saw on twitter that his missus posted something about them moving house recently too.

    There has been an Andy Tod, plus 2 Andy Todd's but not sure if any of them played for the same club or not! The first one played for us, and the second Todd's dad managed us. Or was it the first Todd...:D

    Pay off Byrne and Baldwin.

    Sign two competent centre halves and get your head out of your backside and play Stubbs with them both.

    No, it's because they both aren't good enough. It really is that simple.

    And I'd started to believe you were becoming a bit of a Byrne-Baldwin fan boy! Something must have changed for you ;)

    Not sure where to put this. But Andy Cook looks in amazing shape. Well done to the lad. Obviously putting in a lot of effort to make himself in the best possible shape for his age.

    That's some turn around from January.

    For the record, Ollie Palmer hit EIGHT goals that year, in 46 appearances for a team that finished top.

    I'd be OK giving Baldwin more time. I feel he's still adjusting. His passing is decent. He just needs time with the rest of the back line to work out positions and who picks up which man.

    Shepherd has something about him with the ball. He is happy to move forward into the other half and look for a pass. That's an improvement on Kelly for me at the moment as it's a skill that Kelly needs to learn.

    Our biggest problem at the moment is central. Byrne is either slow or tries to knick in/jump in and win the ball and leaves us exposed. He isn't playing as someone with a load of experience and know-how. It's a problem for me because that only leave Stubbs to play centrally but maybe he's the better option at the moment since he may not be fast but reads the game better. Byrne's decision making has been poor in the two matches so far.

    Oh look, there's suddenly more money available now the rubbish about us being close to FFP limits has been called out for the BS that it was. Funny that ain't it?

    Well if he is giving money rather than lending it then that allows more leeway doesn’t it
