    Not Angol. I don’t think he’d stay fit anyway and cant be building a system around him.
    Don’t see why it won’t suit Chapman though? He’s a winger is he not?

    Young clearly left a good impression on you on sat, General, you appear to have cloned him!

    It did feel like the right back didn't know which Young to tackle.

    I'd like to see Angol go back to playing the target man role. He was terrific in that position at the end of last season. The ball sticks with him, unlike when Cook plays the back to goal role. His close control, quick turning and ability to link play with nearby attacking midfielders causes defenders no end of problems. Because of his hamstring issues I think his days as a wide striker, running at defenders are gone. The central role suits him much better now.

    Interesting line up General. I see like me you are yet to be convinced by Halliday

    I want Oliver to get service and game time to play himself into the form he has shown for the last two seasons

    I have to agree about your criticism of our play so far, I think you are spot on. However, I'm also reassured the management team know what they are doing. MH's post match comments from Doncatser and Barrow were spot on. His observations about what we didn't do echoed what a lot of the fans have been saying.

    Knowing MH and team have identified these issues I'm sure they will be working on systems which provide more of a threat in the final third. It may take time but fingers crossed the team becomes more cohesive and threatening up top.

    No you can't. You've seen promotions, Premier League, a major cup final and a number of Wembely appearances. Let's not forget the relegations, administrations, the sale of assets and the joys of training at a school! What more could you want? ;)

    I've not been convinced but know he is a good right back on his day. The thing is, he's had a serious injury and was out for the entire season last year. He needs time but perhaps starting him was a little premature, then again Hendrie has been out for a large chunk of pre-season and is not exactly match fit! Tough call.

    I thought first half against Barrow he defended solidly, was impressed. Second half probably not so good, but couldn't see close up as at the other end of the pitch and view from front row not so good. Less good going forward though.

    Yep, I think he will come good and be a solid addition. He put some good balls into the box against Sunderland which indicates he can provide a decent delivery. Perhaps not one for taking on his man but as long as he supports as an overlap in the attack then he could be effective in the final third.

    As frustrating as it was, absolutely. I adore my away days with my lad, I savour every single one of them win lose or draw, it keeps us close together. Probably won’t be long before he wants to go with his pals instead, naturally. So I savour every game :)

    I know a fair few have put Angol in but why would you build a team around a player whose got a poor record regarding injuries...... ..... to me it should be based around the forwards who have a chance of playing a full season
