I&#039;m thinking if it happens it will definitely be via the play-offs, and with our locals - Bolton, Stockport and Hudders being in or around the mark - it could be very, very interesting.]]></content:encoded>

      <content:encoded><![CDATA[He provided the best moment of an otherwise forgettable match on Saturday. Obviously given his injury record he&#039;s not one for the future but might he be the one for at least the next game to give us the experience, guile and genuine goal scoring threat which seem to be sorely lacking from our other centre forward options?<br />
<br />
His ability to last over 60 minutes is the key question, that&#039;s for the management team to decide. In terms of footballing contribution alone I think he has done enough...<br />

I know Ian Cooper and Ian Ormondroyd are at the ground, but they have current links. In the past Pat Liney use to stand on the old Kop. James Hanson has also been spotted. Anymore?]]></content:encoded>

At Barnsley we switched to a back four and scored two goals. Touray looks more comfortable as a left back than a left wing back and we can play both Ashby and Neufville on the right.]]></content:encoded>

It’s fine to have one way traffic towards Queens Road to allow cars to get out that have parked on MR but surely they should block access to cars coming the other way?<br />

All the games in the top divisions are now televised how much would it take for a member of the top referees to each watch  games on a TV and make a judgement on the referees performance.and perhaps use it as a sourse of a type of VAR. It could be the assessor with training.<br />

      <content:encoded><![CDATA[As the books are starting to be released for FY 24/25, the reality of football finances again are showing it&#039;s ugly head. Kieran Maguire is a great follow on social media if you are interested in this kinda stuff. <br />
<br />
Burton Albion seems to be one of the first to announce their data, losses of £8.3m over the last financial year. As he says, their owner wrote off £8.7m worth of debt in late 2025, shocking numbers really but a club like Burton spending £8.2m on wages seems crazy and i bet that&#039;s...<br />

      <content:encoded><![CDATA[I know, let&#039;s not count our Bantams, but it looks like we&#039;re gonna make it - with 2nd place probably as unlikely as finishing 7th or lower at this point.<br />
<br />
So who do you want?<br />
<br />
We&#039;ve obviously got Stevenage, Bolton and Plymouth to play yet so preferences could still change, but what do YOU think is the <i>ideal</i> playoff pathway to ensure the best chance of promotion?]]></content:encoded>
