    Easy to be a touchline manager but yesterday was pretty obvious
    Anyway let's see what Tuesday and Hartlepool bring

    Can anyone tell me why ROD never stretched his left arm out to reach the ball and stop it going in? It’s almost as if he expected it to go wide or over the bar so didn’t really try.

    Not seen any of the away matches, so can not comment. In reality we should have won all 6 home games, although 2 of the 3 home wins , Oldham and Rochdale , were as waste full as ourselves.
    We should have beat Barrow , Walsall and Bristol. 6 points thrown away, the league table would have looked much healthier. we need to sort the chances taken issue , if not before , then definately come Jan.
    There is a good team in there.

    Much as he is our creativity, if that happened I wouldnt be too concerned as long as the fee was six figures.

    We do lack quality, it's why we are currently mid table.

    If there's a dairy farmer whose herd appreciates the passing breeze of a banjo to cool their rear ends, then yes we might be able to move him on.

    Just picking on the two words in bold. Firstly l assume your are talking about the number of players rather than the height of the players!
    The EFL has capped the number of Senior players to 20, l am not sure that our squad is significantly short on Senior players.
    l would add that all teams have injuries, suspension, ill health and other issues which impact on the number of players available.
    So we can’t hide behind those factors, they are relatively common for all teams.
    I hope your prediction is correct.

    As per Rod's point we have a "standard size" squad limited by the player cap, but I get your point about Adam's reluctance to use a good number of them.
