    Depriving the club of money will only lead to less money in the transfer window

    Think of the bigger picture / longer term.

    A few hundred quid is nothing in comparison to the value of the message it would send for the clubs long term benefit.

    It's fine, we won't need a budget as big in the National League.

    I'll watch on iFollow and hope we win. But I would hope we ONLY use reserves, young players and players coming back from injury until we lose or win the competition. I don't want to see a single first teamer in this competition. Save them for the important league games to keep ourselves in the league

    This loan just doesn't make sense at all. Pursued past the deadline, defence crying out for pace and a ball player yet Hughes, Macdonald, Trueman and Alexander haven't picked him. He's obviously way off being a starter and I'd imagine he'll return to Norwich without making a significant contribution to the club. Gent really needs to come out and explain the rationale behind a whole host of signings. We've wasted so much time, money and effort on these youngsters.

    I think Tomkinson was brought in to play in a back 3 then very soon after he signed we binned it, he also was just recovering from an injury which likely set him back a bit. He will find players for what the manager wants and I think it's harsh to blame him for Hughes binning the back 3. If we go back to the back 3 I expect he'll get more minutes or at least a place on the bench.

    Well, that sometimes trotted out explanation that playing in front of a large and expectant crowd, won't be able to be used tonight! Only 2 going. @Park bantam@Park bantam and?????

    I'm not going. I don't even know if I can be bothered watching it on the TV.

    I would actually rather the manager try something out with the team tonight as the result doesn't matter. Maybe he could restrict Ash Taylor to putting the training cones out rather than sending him out as centre back.

    That's a shame. I was hoping for a crowd <1000.

    Given our chronic lack of pace at the back, a centre half should be able to play as part of a pair otherwise he’ll have a very short career. Add to that his supposed ball playing skills, maybe he could have been used as a DM ahead of Oyegoke. I appreciate he’s had an injury but seems fit enough to travel with the USA team so he must be fit enough to play you’d imagine.

    I thought he was quickly recruited because Barnsley had a blonde moment by taking Stubbs off of us in a last day deal ?

    You think we’ll put a full side out?

    Doyle
    Kelly
    Taylor
    Richards
    Odour
    Osadebe
    Gillead
    Pointon
    Chapman
    Cook
    Smith

    Shocking team that. Tulloch or Afoka not going to improve it much. Cook starts to try and get his confidence back perhaps. Either him or Wilson.
