L1 wages are also up 58% on last season. Next season it might settle down slightly depending on who gets promoted but also who comes down from the Championship (going to be decent budgets but they don't look like Birmingham or Wrexham level of spending) and up from L2 (don't look to be any...

Three in, three out for us. James Collins will prove to be an excellent signing up front I think, although as a collective we're probably weaker in attacking areas after injuries to Cadamarteri and Moylan. Those who went out made sense as well, so it was an ok window for us in the end but not...

We missed out to another L1 club having agreed a loan deal with an option to buy, and terms agreed with a Championship player in that 25-28 age bracket, which at our end, we think leads to either Owen Moxon (who went to Stockport) or Owen Dale (went to Wigan).

Straight away I thought Walsall and Battersea Power Station. Like most stands when they're re-built at old stadiums, it'll look completely out of place with the rest of it especially with the height. Why would they not look to incorporate some corner stands into it and try and wrap around...

Are Carlisle and Tranmere quite lucky of Morecambe's predicament? I think Adams is doing a good job under testing circumstances there and they'd probably be around mid-table if they had a bit more room for manoeuvre in the transfer market and not be under embargos.

Glad Josh appears to have developed a bit more since being with us 4 years or so back. He was never a bad 'keeper here at all, he was in an unfortunate situation of being compared to those before him particularly Alex Palmer, who ironically is the reason you're losing him!

Don't think we'll be particularly active today, we've slowly done our business through the month and I can't see us selling anyone at this point unless it's an absolutely ridiculous offer and even then, from a numbers point of view I'm not sure we can really afford to let anyone go so late. If...

He's basically a head on a stick, and wins his fair share as well. Zero technically ability and there for a nuisance factor of creating second ball situations. Can't believe it's been 13 years since he signed here in the NL on his first pro deal from Sheffield Wednesday.

"Significant" is relative to the importance of the player of course but it's around £100k apparently, which I think is good business on our part. No point keeping a player who doesn't suit the system we play (or really looked likely to turn into a decent L1 player in his favoured position either...

Getting Covid fucked Jones up here really, he wasn't the same after that. Not surprised he performed two levels lower than he was when he was here, or that he's not had too much game in L1 with you. He had that promise in his earlier years, close to a Championship move, but he's probably...

Sorry, didn't see this. You can't knock his attitude, work rate or anything like that. We gave the lad a chance after picking him up from part time college football in Ireland and stuck by him during his betting charges at the beginning of the season and he'll always put a 100% in. He's...

From the article on our OS, he sounded like one we were keeping tabs on for next season but a season ending injury to Moylan forced our hand to bring someone in.

He had Chris Cohen, one of our coaches, at Stoke as well. Not sure whether anything is likely to happen there.

Confirmed, and a reaction off the back Moylan's season ending injury by the sounds of it.

Couple of people suggesting Joe Gardner from Forest on loan was done today and presumably to be announced tomorrow so we'll see. Bit of a bizarre January in attacking positions for us. We set out to strengthen it as a collective, yet we've lost Moylan for the season, Cadamarteri for 6-8 weeks...

L1 accounts starting to appear. A £2.9m loss last season for us, but that doesn't include the sale of Jensen to Millwall (£500k-ish). Mentioned it a few weeks back but confirmation that our budget last season was mid-table and even with an increased budget this season, we're now bottom 6. To...

Wigan away. Despite the result on Tuesday, we actually played ok and getting something here will be a decent points return over the last four games and probably gets us out of our rut of form.

We had tonnes in the NL, lots of the wingers are basically glorified sprinters. The Mansfield lot will remember Luke Medley and Nick Wright who ran fast but had nothing between their ears.

Seems unusual for so many sides to have such low GD's.
