    Correct. There were some lovely teasing crosses coming in today that were just begging for somehow to be anticipating and getting on the end of them

    If the lad Walker is anything to go by with regards Adams signings I'll take that.

    Selling Cooke would be crazily stupid

    I'm thinking we might now see Sutton starting at RB. I don't think he's the best out and out defender but him and Gilliead looked pretty good together down that side on Saturday

    Bit too early to start wanking off on it, one good game from Walker, Daly has played well for Hartlepool and the Luton lad is missing in action. The squad was light on quality, the subs bench has been piss poor. If say Cooke, Vernam and Watt leave, you still have the likes of Evans, Kelleher, Lavery and Robinson.

    These new signings should be to augment the squad, not replacements for the better players.

    Evans for Daly, Walker for Lavery and the squad is stronger. Ditch the better players and it might be a stronger first choice XI but it’s still a dogshit bench.

    Another strange myth you've seemingly adopted Trev.

    He put in one cross at Port Vale from the right (with his left foot) that we scored from and all of a sudden he's Trent Alexander Arnold.

    He's barely played and when he has, he's hardly put in any other deliveries all season so this "can put in a good cross" is just made up nonsense at present.

    I'm filling it in the "Hornby has better distribution" bin.

    I'm not sure the formation affects Gilliead's likelihood of scoring :laughing:

    Yeah it's the thought process of ours that never ceases to amaze me. Angol and his hamstrings have been an accident waiting to happen and Adams clearly doesn't rate Robinson or Lavery but all we've brought in are three players who play in pretty much the same space on the field. A striker should have been in by now and those not rated by the manager should have been farmed out. Instead it looks like Andy Cook will have to be flogged despite not being match fit. But hey we might have a new keeper soon.

    Regarding players leaving. I can't remember a time in my 45+ years of supporting the club where I've felt less affection for the players and how I'd feel if any one of them left in this window. The spectrum of my emotions would be a shrug at one extreme and a minor celebration at the other. The same can be said for those that are running the club. I've never been this apathetic before.

    Looking forward to statement around the Crankshaw money having to cover the drop off in match day revenue as I believe the club are shortsighted/arrogant enough to do so

    Very pleased for Matty Foulds tonight, made a difference to the energy levels when he came on

    And to be fair to Adams i thought his interview tonight was honest and accurate (unlike some of his recent pie in the sky efforts)

    If this transfer window doesn't scream intent then I don't know what does!

    Thanks for the investment Rupp, our custodian :heart_eyes:

    Thank god someone who wanted to spend money in January didn't buy us either. We could've gone bust and ended up like Bury! Now we get to rot in League Two and sign cast offs while we delude ourselves into thinking there's a "playoff push" :thumbup:

    Quote from Adams in the T&A this morning :

    'I don't plan to be too busy because if we are it will be ones that we might have had an idea of what we wanted before'.

    What does that even mean?????

    I wonder how much Ryan and Stefan are aware of the depth of feeling against the club, it’s owner, it’s recruitment policies and increasingly the manager? Apart from Park and one or two others, there isn’t a lot of support here, on TCA or Twitter. I get the impression Adams’ saving grace among many fans is that there is a recognition sacking the manager every year hasn’t worked. Surely the club can’t be that ignorant? Can they?

    I have to say I think Canavan has been garbage this year. Always falling over and about as slow as a slug. Just can’t understand why we have done it so last minute without a replacement seemingly lined up.

    Fiacre Kelleher is the problem, mate.

    The fact he is now the only actual centre back that can play alongside Paudie.

    Like, we do actually need to field a team, you know?

    So woken up to the news of the Hendrie and Delfouenso signings and the fact we haven't replaced Canavan.

    The window smacks of seeing the season out and looking ahead already to a massive clearout in the summer under Adams. Or, perhaps the faint rumours of a consortium takeover is on the horizon.

    Whatever it is, another underwhelming if not bizarre window.

    Hornby superb in a great 1-0 win away from home for Colchester. A player we had no need to replace while other positions go begging
