    Possibly what you are suggesting he hasn't done, he wasn't furloughed so how do you know he wasn't doing what you accuse him of not doing.
    With regards player he could have had players identified and the salary cap put pay to that, yes I hear the calls why didn't the club buy our marquee singing, Ryan Sparks told us we would be sticking to the salary cap if voted through.

    I'm far more worried Wood might leave in January. With only a few months left on his contract, he'd go for peanuts and we'd be left scratching around trying to find a replacement at the last minute because we wouldn't have done any forward planning for such an eventuality.

    And as I posted I would expect when his ban is over he takes the RB birth, fancy a £10 Burns unit bet ?

    Not sure why you think that when the one game he has featured in he played in CM. I've a feeling that might be where we will see him feature when his ban finally comes to an end.

    I don't but there is absolutely zero evidence that he has done.. we're £400k under the salary cap apparently, yet a few weeks ago McCall was in the paper saying it's difficult to work within it. nothing about it adds up and there have been so many contradictions coming from him it's starting to become laughable.

    again, he's not a specialist right back - how difficult is that to understand? he can fill in at right back but we still need to get a specialist right back into the building. for no other reason that Sutton needs to provide an option in midfield or do you expect Watt and Cooke to play every league and cup game throughout the whole season without an injury or suspension?

    why does every bet on here come down to trying to guilt someone into it by using the burns unit - shame on you.

    His main position is not right back. He did not become a professional player to play right back. He hasn't been coached or trained as a right back.

    I want us to have a proper right back.

    In essence, Sutton is no different to Devine. A player who plays in midfield but "can slot in" as right back.

    The main player for each position should be a specialist in that position.

    No one.

    But that's another issue. Why wasn't introducing a leader into the dressing room in the mould of Gary Jones either #1 or #2 priority.

    All fair comment maybe my frustrations and being someone who doesn't question ever position taken by the club, we'll have to wait and see the in comings before the window closes.

    Is it Watt or Sutton? they're the only ones brought in so far.

    We know he hasn't succeeded.

    No points given for trying in this game.

    I'm not sure we've have ever had the set up your suggesting a senior scout and several other scouts, of course he will use his Ipad and take note of agents telling him his client is available but he will also have contacts within the game who may suggest players just as John Dryer did with Knight-Percival.

    Parkinson had Tim Breaker. you don't remember the uproar when he went into the club after leaving for Bolton and took his dossiers and player research with him?

    You could be correct I believe he will be at RB, of course its a concern that we don't have a genuine RB there are only the two reasons for that scenario.
    1, We have one one lined up on a loan.
    2, McCall is prepared to have either French or DMH take that position.

    so we're looking at either a winger, a CM or a CB being our first choice specialist RB? with hardly any football league experience between them.. brilliant strategy. a blueprint for success.

    So we agree past friendships can help get players in, I remember the none sense that many quoted with regards him taking his dossier, IE he put the work into putting that dossier together, would the incoming manager/coach want the previous managers opinions with regards players.
    He left the club in a far better position by leaving the likes of Doyle, Darby, Mezza, McArdle, Marshall, Clarke, and Stuart added to those players with the likes of Vincelot, Law, Dieng and took us to Wembley something Phil couldnt do as a league one manager.

    I posted this "We have one lined up on a loan" do you think that is out of the question, you do remember both Staunton and Warnock playing full back after Liverpool allowed them here on loan although they weren't here that long.

    what's that got to do with anything? at this moment in time, there is nothing to suggest we have anyone lined up to come in.
