    Good job it didn't come off then, he would have played less minutes than Oliver.

    Loved him when he was here before, but sentiment aside, we cannot be carrying expensive players with health issues

    I'm sure you are aware that he had cardiac arrest in training in 2021.

    Only last month the Wigan manager said publicly that he is not fit enough for selection.

    It would be too much of a risk, besides he is still under contract anyhow.

    Younger, fitter strikers please

    Great news for us, had to be a 3 year deal as they were handing them out to Oliver and colin Doyle so its the least he deserves.

    Just need to keep feeding the Cookie Monster next season

    fantastic news Cook has signed and he fully deserves it, he clearly wanted to stay and held a lot of aces in the bargaining stakes, his record at this level is second to none

    Well done to the club for making this happen

    Milner is 37. Over 4 years older and Liverpool have money to invest in a replacement. You are a lunatic!!!

    Every team promoted from L2 this season mainly played with a back 3/5 wing back system, also every team that made it to Wembley across all 3 division's play the back 3/5 system.

    Hughes flirted with it a few times towards the end of games, but do we think he'll follow trend? Or give the 4231 another go next season? If we can find Cook a partner with pace, I can see us going with what seems to be working across the EFL. We have 4 or 5 CBs already on the books and just Chapman as an out and out winger at the minute.

    Hughes has managed Cook, perfectly.

    But he created a number of chances for others yesterday with some lovely knock downs. Just a shame there were no 'others' anywhere near to take advantage of them.
    I feel equally gutted for him and for us. Go up and there's no doubt in my mind he's staying but like you say, he is not going to be short of offers from elsewhere and he deserves to take advantage of that.

    Agree
    When Wrexham were National lge they spent decent money on a mobile lge 1 top scorer Mullin and Palmer as well.

    Now they are lge 2 they will be looking at somebody from lge 1 or above to drop down for serious money.

    Dont think Cook is on their radar to be honest.

    I'm not sure Ridehalgh's crossing has been poor. He's had to cross the ball from 30 yards out as he's had nothing in front of him. Nobody to work the ball higher. A cross from 30 yards out is usually a 'fight' ball at best, unless you are Ben Barclay then you get the freedom of the penalty area.

    No. There were no turning points were we simply were not good enough through the entire season. Even with Chapman and Wright we were never in the automatic positions. We simply got what we deserve. We aren't unique in having injuries and suspensions, Carlisle had Mellish missing for the playoffs, Stockport had Kyle Wooton out and Madden and Sarcevic first leg.
    Hopefully Hughes and his recruitment team understand why we ultimately failed. He has next season to put it right.

    Thats true but tbh it was the January recruitment that let us down. Once Chapman was injured we absolutely had nobody else good enough to do that role. We had plenty of bodies who could play there but none of them anywhere near good enough

    With Wrexham and Notts county now gone from the National League , only Chesterfield have any chance of stopping Hartlepool winning the league in my opinion.
    Cook would bag 30 goals up there and not have a 200 mile round trip to training every day.
    Can they afford him though?
    Can they afford not to try get him?
