    In weird I suppose transfer news as they'll both be linked to everyone under the sun next summer....

    Cheltenham are down to 2 it sounds like in their new ownership contest. A local consortium or a rich American investment group. Also, the Tranmere Rovers buyout is a step closer to completion to a group lead by American musician ASAP Rocky, after Mr ASAP was acquitted on 2 counts of assault. Yank money is here to stay it seems!!

    She'll fit right in! Reynolds and McElhenney at Wrexham, Asap Rocky at Tranmere, Tom Brady at Birmingham, Michael B Jordan at Bournemouth, a random bunch of famous Yanks owning Leeds. There's going to be no celebs left by the time we get bought by some American group!

    Who's the American version of Bob Carolgees? Knowing our luck, we'll find out.

    I wonder if Jennifer Lopez or Sofia Vergara have any interest in “soccer”
    I’d happily show them the bright lights of Manningham.

    That was a poor mistake by Walker, no doubt about it. A simple catch there and we go in 0 0.

    Do you think Huntingdon could have prevented their winner had he been on the pitch?

    I don’t get this “ imported” idea from foreign coaches and keepers that punching the ball , which could go anywhere, is a better option than a plain old simple “ catch” ?. The latter gains possession the former potentially 50/50 % gives the ball back to the opponent. My only critique of the night .
    Hey he’s made some brilliant stops recently ……

    Probably not, Baldwin would still have been in that area and it's a great leap by the lad. Just one of those things.

    It was a great leap and he had the momentum running onto it. Was Dykes a big money signing / big wages?

    Looking at a still photo of Dykes winning that header, it's an incredible leap, fair play to him

    Fee was undisclosed. He has 42 caps for Scotland, so I imagine it won't have been peanuts.

    Sort of goal we've seen Cooky score many times.

    Their forum reckon anything between £1m-£1.5m transfer fee and the best part of £20k a week wages

    Nah, Dykes had his eyes open when he headed it.
