    That would mean Gilead would be far and away the best chance creator in the league
    Yep Sutton is the only one I can think of that can make a run, the other two just 'distribute'

    Couldn't agree more - Levi Sutton has shown more bottle than any of our players.

    Yep, if Sutton were a Union General he would be 'fighting phil (Sheridan)'

    The eye test, suggests he is just a frustrating and poor option in an attacking sense. Back, across, don't attack the full back, fail to work between the lines consistently, don't drive into the box, a lack of anticipation. Lack of support in a 1 up top.

    The stats back it up.

    Maybe my perception of a wide right player is out of touch. He's a poor L2 player, synonymous of the squad assembled TO DATE.

    AG will drop into non league. His numbers back that up. Its where he ends up in non league....

    And when he does, let's see if he can match Crankshaws numbers. It's apparently really easy down there so he should p1ss it according to the oracles on here.

    Hope you're not including me in the excuse brigade when it comes to Gilliead!

    I don't rate him at all, but I do sometimes try to find the rationale as to why managers pick him.

    But whatever the reasoning, the fact his clubs keep finishing in the doldrums of the khazi league tells me all I need to know.

    The managers, for whatever reason, are onto a dud.

    No Jon, I don't. Apologies.

    Your last sentence, is one, with no particular importance, why I scrutinise Adams. But I hope Adams gets it right. I do worry

    Our fans seem fixated with the reasoning that Adams will automatically be successful because he's, well, kinda been successful before. But, and this could also be the case, he could also flop on the back of poor thought out signings and not getting the best out of his available players. At the moment the jury is out, January is his chance to switch things round with new signings and a chance to reinvigorate the old guard. But if he fails to get us promoted it should go down as complete failure on his, Sparks and Rupps behalf and as such should be held accountable. Non of this passing the blame to others.

    9 hours 30 minutes in and no signings ? Clearly not ready for this window. Sack the lot especially gilliead and start again. Disgusting.

    Gilliead is a non league standard player who will eventually end up playing there, The bigger question is whether Adams wises up before we end up there with him as well.

    His purpose in life is to make DMH look like a good player.

    9 hours and 30 mins into 31st January will see the first of our panic signings after a 'difficult' window

    So Adams thinks it will be a difficult window because clubs will want to hang onto players due to the rise in Covid cases. Be interesting to see if that works the other way too, or if we will happily accept any offers that come in for the likes of Cooke, Watt or Vernam, even though that could leave us short if we aren't able to bring in replacements.

    An example of how you identity a position you need to strengthen, prioritise your targets then act accordingly. No excuses, transfer done.

    That's very generous of you but I don't think I'll need them both.
