    Don’t get a big head but you can sometimes tell who has or hasn’t played football for real at a decent level. Before anyone shouts at me this doesn’t mean I’m demeaning any fans opinions who can’t play footy :blush:

    We didn't really buy Josh Wright just to take penalties. I think he's having you on.

    Would suspect Andy Taylor is only still here to keep up his fitness. No way we'd waste money on a 3rd/4th choice LB.

    Roger, get yourself to Queensbury Celtic on Saturday. We are opening our new clubhouse. Food and bar will be available. Some old, slow, limited ability geezers who can't tackle, can't shoot, can't defend will be making an attempt at staging a game from 1.00....hold on sounds like déjà vu from last season!!

    You tell 'em!

    He was nearly as dangerous from open play as the great Jack Payne was in half a season!

    Nearly.

    If he put any effort in he might get double figures without penalties.

    I’d think a Brighouse effort but maybe we will see Ismail etc given a run seen as he wants some minutes in them.

    Majority will return then for weekend game

    Yes a really good turnout despite the weather. Teams were not evenly matched, one had a few younger ones and fitness told in the end with them scoring 3 in last 10 mins to win!! But fantastic day and fantastic facility for the club. Reminded me how long I've been coaching when kids I've coached at 5 now coming back @ U15s!!

    Agreed.

    Take it off topic with some more reminiscing of food you've eaten while out and about Ron. That's always a winner.

    They wouldn't dare Ron. You're a staple of the forum and traffic would drop immensely without your unique brand of input :thumbup:

    Our back four will be relatively new and sometimes 'fragile'. We really do need that no nonsense holding midfielder, which Akpan could have been. He is ONE who really does need to step up, and deliver.

    Wow, I think if you refuse to engage with somebody because they use informal language on an internet forum it's you with the problem buddy. I'm sure it makes you feel warm and fuzzy inside though so crack on 'lol', nice deflection though!

    Other players with far less pedigree still performed better and offered much more. Not worth the money and could be better spent elsewhere imo

    He's only scored over twenty goals in a season twice in his entire career and a career total of 127 in 415 is decent enough but not prolific enough to justify the amount of faith you seem to have in him, is that better for you? Play the ball not the man, pun very much intended.

    That's a better effort yes and I can definitely see your point, I just don't agree with it.

    Although I do think the argument is irrelevant for two reasons. Firstly because I think someone else will come and take Doyle before the window shuts and secondly, nothing I've seen from Bowyer suggests we'll play two up front so I'd say Doyle is 3rd in line for a line striker role.
