    If only it was Delph (bring him home!) and not Delf we'd signed. A player in that mould is what we're crying out for. Will be very interesting to see how Longstaff performs for Mansfield. Could very well be the signing of the season. Doesn't seem so long ago when he scored THAT goal against Man Utd. Should absolutely walk League Two.

    As I posted just a possible scenario of what might have happened, why couldn't it be a last minute deal Delfonouso leaving it as long as possible knowing Evatt wanted rid, once the lunchtime deadline had passed Delfonouso couldn't play tonight, just a thought.
    Yes we need to get at Orient from the first whistle take control of the the game and hope the booers get behind the team.

    Maybe we were haggling over what % of his wages we pay?
    Maybe Bolton wanted us to pay 100% and we knew that the longer it went on the less we would have to pay?

    Here is a perfect example of this from the man himself

    I absolutely love the man, never left wondering what he’s thinking. I hated when we played Millwall back then horrible lot.

    That's the crux of the issue for me, there's too much chopping and changing of direction every few months. Since dropping to L2 there's not been any consistency to the types of manager we've gone for, the style of play, the approach to youth, player fitness, player recruitment (loans vs longer term contracts), scouting etc. The footballing side of the club is completely directionless and whatever Adams might say, he is rapidly running out of time to show that he's the man to deliver positive change.

    Not a particularly helpful response. But, OK, whatever!

    Not necessarily. Hendrie can play CH and it'd give a great opportunity for Reece Staunton.

    I'd love to see Staunton get a chance but not if it means Adams will haul him off at half time and blame him.

    On Hendre - isn't he a right back?

    I have a novel idea whereby our defenders play in the primary, specialist positions. Radical, I know. Not sure we've done it since 2017.

    For some reason in the back of my mind I thought young Fould's had played CB, but nothing in his career history suggests that.

    And all the hamstrings! I can't think of another club who has lost so many of their players to hammy injuries this season. It's not coincidence and there has to be a serious reason why. Ergo, slightly shot signings allied to poor conditioning and fitness programming. We just can't be getting this work right.

    Botswana, Luke Hendrie has played as a CB before too.

    Utility m8, it's all the rage these days. Over paid prima donnas should be able to play anywhere, what do they do all week etc....

    It's true mate. I was a software developer last week. Last year, I was an architect. Just get a new business card printed very time.

    A few more minutes and our contribution would have been nil.

    And Bolton would have been left paying 100% for a player who they don't want anymore.
    It's all a game.
