    I'm a natural worrier, and the likes of Blackpool away this season haven't helped :worried:.

    Rory was at fault for both goals, big errors, and I wonder if he wasn't hauled off because of that rather than the yellow card?

    (Or both?)

    Interesting Stuart says January can't come soon enough - he must know he has money available or at least the scope to bring players in...

    We need to make sure if they're strengthening with quality, we're getting even better.

    They are after the Rochdale Center back Mcgahey.

    Wouldn’t mind him myself personally and sure we can tempt him

    Got a contract until summer 2020, so would probably cost a fee. However as he is from Preston and is playing at Rochdale and has in the past played for the Blunts, I guess Bradford may well be easier to get to than Scunthorpe, which may mean he has to actually move.

    Listening to McCalls post match interview and he said the Scunthorpe chairman was losing £2m a seasonon 3,000+ gates.

    Agree with your view Dave.

    There are a few teams in our division who are being heavily ‘assisted’ by their owners. Apart from Scunthorpe, then Fleetwood come to mind. I guess Evans and Barton do not come cheap!

    I always struggle with the Financial Fair Play calculator!

    Very true but small clubs will always be small unless the rules are bent slightly. Very difficult to grow organically
