    It was 10 man Bromley though because their defender handled on the line to prevent us going 1-0 up with a Baldwin header. I also thought the Carlisle game was a really entertaining match which was the game before the defensive injuries happened. If we stop players dropping like flies we will be in the mix.

    After he's picked up his bag of bitterness.

    Well, to be fair that was an impact injury from a match in a similar vein to what Odasebe got. Can't really legislate for injuries from tackles unlike if he ran and did his hamstring when coming back too quickly.

    And to be fair Bots, it should have been an out and out penalty. Very poor refereeing.

    Because he's a 'keep you in your division' type player.

    A relegation avoider, not a promotion chaser.

    A battler, not a danger.

    We had to move forward at some stage.

    Maybe but not before we were knee deep in quality.

    Plus name a player in our squad who doesn’t fit your description “keep you in your division type player”?

    That's the downside.

    You need to offload players like that when you're better than them, not just when we're bored of them.

    Someone like Pointon or Odour could cover that role I'd think. Perhaps I'm a similar way that Nicky Law did so well, by coming inside and creating an extra overload in the middle although with these two, there's always the option of a long shot which wasn't really in Laws armoury.

    Probably did us a favour getting sent off don't forget the 10 men came back at us strongly towards the end
    Carlisle was better than the average performance I give you that (it's a very low bar) but they are only 1 point above a relegation spot
    I suppose we should be happy with that in comparison to the Morecambe/Harrogate results

    You have no evidence that they offered more than City did.

    Has anyone been down to training and noticed any new faces?

    Amended for accuracy. Probably got a few forty year olds looking for a club.

    No, but Ryan Sparks does, and I'm pretty sure he'd accept they had a higher wage bill.

    Write to him and prove me right.

    Once the transfer deadline shut Peterborough could only send him to the conference. They will not be paying more than City offered.

    Heard it’s Cory Evans from my contact who is usually 8/10 in terms of accuracy.

    TBH am flabbergasted it’s him given his recent ACL injuries and our crisis currently. Proves to me the club really are thick.

    It is a very open league - for about 6 or 7 teams, and we are not one of them.

    Are you surprised??? We gravitate towards crocks because they are cheap and looking for any income that comes their way.

    It sums up the mentality of this pathetic club.

    Is your contact 'Insider Chicken', who posted on Friday that it's Evans?

    Maybe if that’s his online alias …. Doubt it though. No friend of a friend who clearly knows someone with loose lips.
