    I don’t rate Chicksen. His play is too frantic, his asset is his speed and it’s also his undoing. It’s completely the opposite of when Warnock came in on loan. Warnock had time, composure and a bit of class even though he had no pace. It’s great having pace but not when it’s hectic. Dare I say he plays like a headless Chicksen pointing everywhere but not really sure where he should be. There is no doubt that both fullbacks would benefit if we had width in front of them.

    I feel the same about O’Conner. He throws his body in and does some great blocks but we would really benefit from a CB who has time, anticipation and composure. Not just last ditch. Gonna cost.

    No surprise at all. Drury next perhaps?

    a bit of a shame, but most likely necessary so Bowyer can get more of his own team in the building. Had a decent impact r.e fitness but he was Hopkin's man. Drury next and the jobs a good un!

    Very well qualified and our fitness improved alot since he came in. Hopefully we get a decent replacement.

    Lets face it, the fitness levels could hardly go down could they before he came in. You are right that a replacement is needed, even at league 2 level.

    Especially at league 2 level, you need that fitness edge.

    You would have thought that a coach that can do a similar role to what Drury and Anton do would be what was needed at League 2 level. GB seems to want to bring Todd with him plus another should complete the coaching staff positions.

    Let's just hope this is part of Bowyers cull rather than a cost cutting exercise.

    There appeared to be some sort of disagreement between Bowyer and Drury last match, not sure what is was about, so my guess is he will go.

    Probably finds his sh1tty beard offensive and he’s annoyed that he spends most of the match preening himself to look like Rylan Clark or Timothy Claypole from Rentaghost.

    Bowyer will most likely already be sorting his back room before the main job starts sorting the mess that’s our playing squad .
