    His distribution is poor. It seems you can’t have everything at this level.

    There's a big job to be done in the summer. I'm not sure of Hughes' credentials in recruiting lower league players although he should have better contacts for the loan route. Much will inevitably fall on Glyn Hodges' shoulders and his experience should be invaluable at this level. I haven't heard much about a new recruitment director coming on board but no doubt the challenge of our current position might well offer plenty of opportunities for the right guy!

    That's it methinks for out-of-contracts Callum Cooke, Caolan Lavery and Levi Sutton - given another chance, were all toothless. Find a way to get rid of Threkeld, Evans, Kelleher and Cook too. I'd try and do a medical deal with Angol - send him out to the best specialists we can afford in close season to see how best to manage and avoid further problems and then offer him pay by play deal. Bass won't be here next season - he'll either get a new deal with Portsmouth or another Lg 1/top Lg 2 club. Think Walker will get a decent deal somewhere in the Scottish Premier and his family are up in Scotland. That's nine off the books. God, wasn't it shocking today. Awful fayre.

    It was today but isn't always. His kicking was poor today.

    Sorry Idle, forgot he was out of contract too. Sure he can still do a job somewhere, but please, not here.

    Surely it’s a tad premature, contractually and morally?

    I’ll give MH his due, he did what many of us were saying out loud 30 mins after kick off. He didn’t shirk the decision. Hats off to him.
    OT should be ashamed after that! The hardest work he did today was lace his boots!

    You don’t want to replay the last 5 games BB. He must have done it a dozen times?

    What a joke Elliott was, goes down at the start of a game after absolutely nothing has happened and out for the rest of the season, seemingly.

    18th in the fourth division. Shameful. Just watch us lose to Scunny on Saturday. That has to be one of the most inept, lacklustre, pitiful performances that I have seen by a City team, and, boy, there have been some shocking ones lately.

    We have no proof though 75, it’s all about opinions. My opinion is we can do better, but if we had a good replacement centre back pairing then we could risk signing him. Average keepers are shown to have flaws if your central defenders are poor , the same keeper is said to be great if we have a GOOD centre back pairing.

    That why I believe Paudie should be let go, and Songo’o sidelined as back up only.

    Watched Halifax v Chesterfield after yesterdays circus and while there was more desire and commitment in that game I didn't see any player with greater skill levels on either side that was better than what we have already....depressing...

    Not sure I agree Tony. The finishing from Halifax was a level above what we have delivered this season. Two finishes from the edge of the box.

    They're exactly the sort of chances we've been missing all season long.
