    Full house, some refreshments sold, good for Brighouse. It’ll be well received by them financially. Shame Eccleshill will lose out though.

    Because the non league teams they rely on teams like us for revenue to make it through the season,i thought it was obvious

    I wonder what the take from tonight represents as a percentage of Brighouse’s annual income?

    I honestly don’t think he does. He has a focal point up top, clearly, but the days of hit and hope long high balls to a big man up front have gone. That’s why I believe Angol and Cook are the two in that position, maybe one or the other away, but when pushed at home, play them both together, by bringing one on as sub in the last 25 mins, playing both up front.

    He may have an embarrassment of riches?

    It may mean that the last piece of the jigsaw might just not be a front man?

    I just don’t know tbh?

    I think Adams likes him playing on the left but I doubt he will oust Eisa

    Of course it’ll be a front man what if one or both get injured

    Was it Adams or Sparks who was on about the importance of relationships with local clubs? Might have been both, either way it’s good to see.

    I'm really concerned about Mr Parker. He seems to have lost so much blood ( mostly on his keyboard ) . Hope he lives long enough to give his after match analysis.

    That’s what I alluded to , an abundance of riches?

    I think Eisa is a sure starter, hence the Angol / Cook conundrum.

    An emergency loan would be available whereas that isn't an option for an outfield player.

    Do you mean you don't understand why people go to pre season games?

    Oh really so if you are a small club you then play the non league local club but if you are big club you play decent sides?

    So no its not obvious!

    I want us to be tested in pre season. None of the games so far have been a test. Joke of matches. Tests hopefully coming up soon. We can't take anything from the matches we have played so far. Nothing! Lucky its mainly about the fitness and an extension of training.

    Fair point Monks.

    So which position is it that doesn’t have two players for the role.?
    If Cook and Angol are the front man “ pairing” which position is the missing link?
