It's probably a record but not bonkers (if that's how much it is, but hearing similar from our end). I appreciate he hasn't really fit in at Stockport but he's really important for us and a good statement of intent that we're trying to compete when we thought we might get dismantled in the...

Yeah, we are. I would happily see Pell never play for us again though so don't consider him much of a loss. Unless we sign a forward in the next couple of days you'll be facing the fearsome combined strike power of an 18-year-old just learning his trade and Josh Davison.

If he doesn't get recalled, would you sell him to us in the window or is he a long-term investment? Seems odd to give him a new contract in the summer and then not fancy him even as cover.

Palmer won't be coming back here. Was never really fit for us, and lots have never forgiven him for jumping ship. Not his fault that we didn't replace him but a large part of why we got relegated. I suppose you might get Al Hamadi if you throw a lot of cash at us but think he'll be off to the...

Ronan Curtis has been training with us since leaving Pompey two weeks ago. Wouldn't normally read too much into that but he was sat on our bench last night against them wearing some of our gear so who knows, maybe looking for somewhere to play out the season and prove his fitness after a year...

When we signed him, I think it was Casey who said "you won't love him" and wasn't wrong. Signing gave us a boost last year when we were soft as anything and had a short-term impact but I wouldn't now have him in the squad even as an 80th minute shithousing sub, which is how he's been used...

Yeah, it's the sort of statement that attracts the disapproving attention of the football gods so we'll probably get spanked. I think we *can* win, but would never say we *should* away from home against a team level on points. FWIW I'll go for a draw and would be happy with that. We're not...

I once saw Dennis Wise score with his bollocks against Man Utd at Old Trafford. Low, hard ball across the goal area and Wise manfully thrust out his groin to hump it into the back of the net from a yard out. He has 3 kids now so no lasting damage.

Ours is because Ramsgate are the lowest ranked side still in barring replays. Romance of the cup and all that. Though there was nothing romantic about Ramsgate when we played them down there years ago. Every feral youth from miles around came out to have a pop at us. Even heard their keeper...

I think we'll try to play, and expect our formation and side to be unchanged barring injuries, but will be quite happy to concede possession and make you play through us which we've been very good at preventing so far. Looking at the stats we both create chances - you've had 200 shots (1st) to...

Isn't it? An overly cynical mind might suggest you've never had any intention of actually buying him and all this is scripted.

There was a Chelsea player doing the nappy thing on Wednesday too. He really needs a pair of those 80s bollock-huggers.

Can't argue with a draw really but if Al Hamadi's finishing hadn't been so terrible this year we'd have put it to bed I think. Sort of hoping a middle eastern club comes in with stupid money who haven't actually watched him this year.

Your defenders seemed determined to pass the ball to us for the first 20 minutes but once you settled down are playing some nice stuff and should be level if not ahead. We need to step it up a bit but have lost both central midfielders by the start of the second half. Reeves in particular is a...

I think there was actually quite a bit of crossover support in earlier times - I used to go to Sutton sometimes when Wimbledon were away. Sutton gave us a hand up back in 2002 by playing us in our first match rising from the ashes and I don't think I could ever dislike them, for that alone...

Probably different if you're a pro but the level I played at I'd want the corner and the congratulations. There are limits though - one of the best saves I ever made was finger-tipping a penalty onto the bar in a cup final which the penalty taker put in from the rebound. Very happy that the ref...

Yeah, but will he be able to run in the long grass you get in this division? Other Wrexham players apparently can't.

We always swoop for our signings. Usually after running the rule over them.

Woodyard was far from great for us though. Not terrible, though some fans scapegoated him, but captain over two awful seasons and was always going to be part of the clearout this summer. He should be effective in the national league but hardly set League Two alight.
