    Yes we were , no idea if we will try for him though. Might have just been Twitter speculation .

    He's under contract for a few more years I'd guess at Oxford? He signed in 2023 a "long term contract". I can't see long term being just 2 years?

    Paudie O’Connor still in discussions at Lincoln. Still lives in Micklefield up by Garforth. Could we tempt him back?

    He would be our best CB tomorrow if he signed. That said there’s a big world out there so let’s see.

    Yeah but Jason Gavin would be too. I think that sums up the current issue we have at the back.

    A well organised side with hard pressing. They look comfortable with and without the ball.

    Love how everyone on here watching the league 1 playoffs are saying how much of a better standard it is and how much we need to improve to compete, granted i keep flicking the games on and off but all I've seen is a few passes among defenders then a long ball then a few passes between defence and a long hoof again and again just like league 2 .

    Huddersfield and Derby too apparently.

    I saw a thing online that Tommy Leigh is still living with his family in Portsmouth? He has a shared flat thing where the club have a few flats whilst up here. Apparently one of the players mentioned it on a video during the celebrations. Unless it's for like family reasons, you'd have thought the club would prefer a player to commit to the region?

    Tbf I never said it was a better standard. I was on about how orient looked a decent side.

    Technical ability is little different to 2 just slightly faster paced. Most teams with loanees are using CC players with the odd fringe prem player. .

    Orients and L2 top scorer is on loan from QPR .

    Let's hope Sarc is rubbing his hands for that one!

    League 1 North just got a bit more Northern, I think that makes it 15 team from Northampton to the North with 1 more to be added if Wimbledon don't win the league 2 play offs.

    The main difference is the "hoof" often goes to a runner in space
