Losing Ness and Macari in the same game is proper bad luck. I’ve got used to competent defending now and I’m not sure what I’ll do if this guy’s another Jaden Warner - hopefully not though. Young player on loan probably the right move though considering Macari will be back and McDonald has...

Interesting how many inexperienced PL academy youth types are moving this January - wonder if that’s indicative of the overall market (i.e. impossible for EFL clubs to shuffle squads around or coax teams into selling whereas big clubs have surplus stock)

He’s basically Macaulay Langstaff 2.0 so it would be very fitting - was struggling to get into Gainsborough’s side 2-3 years ago - went to Long Eaton, got converted to a proper striker and hasn’t been able to stop scoring since

Do MK Dons have a recruitment department or do they just import every new manager’s contact list?

Always seem to have high scoring games with Grimsby so no reason this won’t be complete chaos from the off. Concerns for us are the absence of Ness/Macari leaving us without a natural RCB and Big Al Jatta going off with a head knock - would be his 3rd concussion of the season which…is not...

It’s a useful signing but is signing a player being sacked off by a team below you in the league after 6 months classed as ‘going for it’?

Think Mellon’s a pretty brilliant replacement for Cook, in terms of being a similar kind of player and a proven goalscorer at this level - a big if with the injuries he’s piled up over the last 12 months but think you’d struggle to get a player with that record and potential without spending a...

Jones is going to play on the right, people are just going to have to accept it (he was also fantastic there at the start of the season and has himself said he prefers playing there). Actually think Jarvis will play more advanced anyway. Who knows who for but that’s the beauty of it I guess, a...

Looks very right footed to me in every clip (and takes about 5 penalties with it too).

think younger players are easier to move on if they don’t work out as well, everyone loves a reclamation project

It is for a player that’s only played 9 games in the EFL but sounds like he’s one we’ve wanted for a while. I’ve watched his Shelbourne compilation on YouTube though and he looks like Cole Palmer but better so I approve, I’m going to move over and get settled in the League 1 forum early I think

Fantastic (I mean he might be crap but paying fees for young players on long contracts is just nice innit)

Will Jarvis looks like he’s joining Notts, loan or permanent will be interesting

Amazed we got a fee for Scott (although suspect it will be very very nominal). We only really gave him a 1 year extension as he’d missed most of last season with a knee injury. Wish him all the best, wouldn’t be surprised at all if he does ok. I think he lacks the physical attributes to be a...

A mental appointment but it wouldn’t be the first mental appointment that worked out

It’s a spectrum innit, some fans have this false dilemma in their head that they either have to play out from the back or play direct and there’s no in between. I think it’s the fine line, Notts are admittedly the worst offenders of this over the last 2 years. When it works, you can play from...

Martin and Austin’s form has been a very pleasant surprise. Austin still has clear deficiencies and I wouldn’t be giving him a new contract in the Summer but no doubt he’s had a really good month on the right for us. Martin still doesn’t look that comfortable at wing-back but there’s clearly a...

Pretty comfortable win, Didzy outstanding, probably should have won by more but also helpful Swindon’s attack was so blunt, they got in behind us a few times but had no killer instinct - Tshimanga and Glatzel were surprisingly hopeless.

Must win tomorrow for me given how tight it is, the sort of games we need to win. Can’t afford to play squad roulette either, nor should he really given we don’t have another midweek game until the end of the month. Sounds like Ness and Macari will be out, and still no Edwards or Robbo so...

a 38 year old to bring through the young 33 year olds, good blend of youth and experience
