    Thanks for that.I’m getting to really like the fella. Doesn’t waffle and B/S like SM and I get the feeling he won’t take prisoners!

    Exactly what this club needs!

    I get the feeling the post match interviews with Jamie Raynor could get a bit Edgy

    Lets hope Jamie Raynor doesn't have to question team selections, playing formation or the reasons for the defeat.

    Are you making reference by any chance to my point? If so, say so but Dave and I weren’t being offensive. That is how citizens with that ethnic background want their ethnicity described, I worked in senior management for years and that’s what we were INSTRUCTED to say as a description by employment lawyers..So please stop trying to overthink a comment. I could not think of his name and I wasn’t going to get out the research bible because I was eating. Simple.

    I suspect he sees Foulds as a potential starter.

    He mentioned something about speaking to Martinez and Everton and others who gave great reports. I suspect Foulds also stayed because Adams was coming, he nearly signed him at Morecambe and he wanted to work with him. Foulds did also get more minutes towards the end of last season so perhaps Adams sees him as a starter.

    I don't think we've seen enough of him to be able to say if he's a first choice or back up tbh and Connor seemed managers favourite.

    I can see it now

    ‘So Derek, on the back of today’s 1-0 win at Port Vale would you say you prefer to install a 256GB Solid State Drive or the more traditional 1TB hard drive’

    Id be surprised if we didnt sign a CB. But yeh maybe not a priority. Can be addressed in January if needs must I suppose.

    Prefer to see Sikora go out on loan. Sounds like Adams rates Foulds though so he will be an option.

    Im not 100% convinced Paudie or Canavan are going to form a partnership solid enough to win the league.

    As you say Adams must have liked what he saw when trying to bring him to Morecambe, he must have shown promise for him to catch Everton's eye and them to pay a fee, my only concern is his lack of any standard of football over the last 5 or so years.

    I bet Adams’ first sentence doesn’t involve telling us how good the opposition are.

    I never saw anyone refer to Cook as "that white lad", or anyone other white player for instance.

    Perhaps that's the issue?

    If they were in a team full of black players then in order to differentiate then it might well be said.

    I dont think its anything to cry over.

    You were able to type the post but couldn't put a few words into Google?

    Sorry Kev, I'm not buying that.

    No, maybe not. Just trying to point out why someone may have questioned it.

    It definitely doesn't bother me and as you can tell by my profile picture, I'm black myself.

    I don't understand the mentality around accepting us signing players that are considered 'back up'
    We should be signing players capable of competing for places in the starting 11 every week not simply because the first choice is out injured.
    When I read or hear terms like 'back up' or 'bench warmer' it seems we're accepting mediocre players playing for this club. If there's doubts about a players ability to perform in a position then we shouldn't be signing them.

    Yeah some people are down on Paudie and Canavan but IMHO I feel they will prove to be one of the best partnerships in the division next year (injuries willing)

    And agreed on the Sikora loan... can always recall from National league if required if my understanding of the current loan system is correct
