    Not really bothered about crankshaft leaving, never really did much to affect things, manager obviously didn’t fancy him either.
    Priority must be to get someone in to support/ partner Cook up top.

    Oops. Correct Dennis. But my point remains the same. We have to get into Lg 1 as soon as humanly possible. There is now such a blurring between League 2 and the top National League, we could find ourselves down there soon unless we start some forward movement soon.

    I agree and I don’t think anyone is really bothered he’s left, they wouldn’t have done in the summer anyway. More the timing of it, with 6 injuries and not won in 7 games. I was no fan of him but he should have at least had a start or two in place of Gilliead to get the competition for places going it may have actually helped Gilliead in the long run as well. I got caught up in a promotion buzz ore season I won’t lie, that’s already drained from me now I’d take mid table and get a lot of the dross out over the next two windows in preparation for next season. I remember Parky getting called Plonkinson on mass his first 40 games, I expect similar to Adams. But long run he’ll bring us far more professionalism I’m confident of that, but it’ll be a up hill slog I’m afraid.

    If it's unhappy squad members, can anyone name me a player who isn't disgruntled about not being in the starting eleven or on the bench? If they aren't, they're not worth the bother.

    You understand that we haven’t won in 7 and have one forward fit right?

    Oh and have you seen Gilliead and Evans play recently? You think they are good enough?

    Point is it’s the wrong time and the playing budget is done!

    Pure speculation. But the worrying thing is, that it's happening. Definitely a sign of discontent among the fans, and Sparks needs to nip this in the bud sharpish.

    What a shame we never gave Crankshaw a chance before shipping him out at cost, Energy all over the pitch and a great goal against a first division club, 4 goals in 5 matches and MOM awards to boot, Someone needs to give their head a shake letting him go.

    I would definitely favour merging league 2 and the National League and regionalise it. Better to be travelling to the likes of Stockport, Halifax and Altrincham to Exeter, Crawley and Newport

    You should have realised by now, for some it's anything to deflect from the mess at their own club.

    It's like the old school yard Bully mentality. Instead of looking inward and trying to improve they knock everyone else around them down in the hope they appear to look better.

    It’s the contribution across a season that counts. Had he continued in the same form he may have found himself in the league above us.

    I wasn’t too concern when he went, but you can’t argue with his input at Stockport and had he not been here before, he’s probably the type of player we’d look to bring in.

    I know it looks like madness but allow Adams some leeway on the method here if he thinks Crankshaw is a non league player then he won't be able to help us out

    Maybe the new guy will be the perfect addition who knows

    It's not inside knowledge it's public knowledge that Adams doesn't think Crankshaw is ready you don't make the statements he's made if you're not sure
