    Sadly not , family are coming here to watch although the three Arsenal fans attending might not like it. Second best option but better than nothing Rod! Really looking forward to it.

    If compared to Meredith he’s lacking in a few areas, pace and crossing ability being two. He also doesn’t have the streetwise nouse of a Tony Mac, but he does the read the game well. Decent league two defender but I’d be looking for an athletic wing back if we go up.

    I'm obviously rubbish when assessing full backs :joy:. For all his obvious qualities, in attack and defence, I seem to recall Meredith's crossing was the thing that sometimes let him down

    Completely agree. Meredith's crossing was woeful and most of the time barely got a foot off the floor!

    Absolutely. Halliday is a better crosser than Mezza ever was.

    Could be my memory but I saw that Meredith offered more of a threat than Halliday.

    His energy and pace got him into threatening positions often during games but his final ball was imo a letdown.

    He did drive into the box at times though and got shots off so that's one thing he did better than Halliday from an attacking sense

    Meredith had the real pace, but not crossing abilities.

    That's right. He got up and down a lot - fantastic engine. And he linked well with Nicky Law and Kyle Reid. But his crossing was pretty useless.

    Halliday still in his own half against Crewe unable to get back as the lad runs through and scored with Halliday no where to be seen. Point made he is far to slow He is been roasted by a quick player as they have done there homework knowing the weakness down that side

    Can’t wait for you to bottle it, hope Stockport send us a few drinks with their celebrations. You’re pathetic like many of your fanbase, still crying about Scunthorpe at every opportunity and blaming everyone else for been a town of bottle jobs.

    And that ladies and gentlemen, is why Sam Hoskins is League 2 player of the season. Good luck in the play off lottery.

    Well done.
    It took you 4 attempts though.
    Typing on the internet a little beyond you?

    Imagine finally achieving promotion after bottling it last season and the first thing you think of is a Bradford City messageboard. Fair play. Enjoy your season in League One. You'll be back down before long.

    You mean runner up to a reet goal scorer?

    Ah yes , remember it well the last time we met at Wembley we give your little bottom a right spanking. How many could you muster 8,000 was it?
    Enjoy your promotion but says a lot when your first port of call is OUR forum. Righty Ho sonny.

    Because he scored what ? 24 goals against Cooks 31 ?. Absolute bollocks. He'll be nowhere near league one player of the season and you'll do a Forest Green. Now do one.
