We beat Plymouth 2-0, both fielding young sides. Far from giving senior players a chance to redeem themselves after two shockers, we included two loanees signed only on the day and I had literally never heard of four of the subs. Dom Telford, sidelined while our forwards have been failing to...

If it's a nothing competition, would it matter if a manager's #2 takes the game and leaves him to do the transfers?

We traditionally put out very young sides but I wonder if it might be an idea to get some of those who played in our last two games the earliest possible opportunity to redeem themselves.

Scrimshaw will run his bollocks off for you but his anticipation didn't look anywhere near L2 standard in his limited opportunities with us. I can imagine him scoring for fun in non-league.

Possibly Mark Byrne, who initially joined only on a half-season deal. Someone mentioned Yan Klukowski, we might even have paid a fee but he never cut it in home games at least, always seemed to arrive a split second too late to influence play. He did often look much better away from home.

The brightly coloured runoffs would have been a big help when Jordan Green was with us.

Well if the club came out with information there would be no rumours would there' That's a bit optimistic!

So for now it's a rumour.

Do we really know Baker-Richardson is out that long? This is the only place I've read it. Not that I'm too excited.

Fair play, a ground swap is really imaginative. The rules appeared to be changed on the quiet a couple of years ago after our pitch first started causing grief. It used to be that you could share with two clubs but not two sports, now it's with one club only.

Was it Yussef who got a ban for pissing against the side of a stand somewhere in view of spectators?

Yes, Amond is the best striker we have had since John Aldridge but afraid he has looked finished for ages.

No, there's no reason why with a good enough pitch - this one is apparently a big upgrade on the hybrid it replaces, with twice the projected lifespan - we can't share with the Dragons. The location must be one of the best in the country for public transport and town centre access. The level of...

I'm not sure ours could have been done any more quickly. We ceded the right to play the second playoff leg at home and they started stripping it immediately after we beat FGR in the first leg.

I'm guessing our pitch will be better than Tranmere's - and it needs to be because of the rugby - or their works would have been as drastic as ours and taken as long. The big question is what happens over the third team using it, the original Newport RFC who didn't play at all last season...

Should have said I haven't seen any suggestion we won't be able to use the pitch on 4 Sep, it's just that it's the next scheduled EFL game after the pitch will be ready. News about progress comes via our landlord the WRU, but all indications are it has gone fine. If we win at Ipswich...

Someone on our forum said it's an international weekend - are Cyprus U21s and Grenada playing?

Walsall supporters - how did Labadie do? I see he got his statutory yellow.

When was the last time they didn't need an extra month to fix their pitch? Has never happened. We were one round late starting our home programme four years ago. How long was Carlisle's pitch out of use when you had that flood?

Maybe the EFL needs a stand-down rule which takes things out of clubs' hands. Big case in Australian RL recently (similar situation to Ched Evans) where a leading player had two hung trials and the state eventually dropped it. He was on the books while allowed to train but not play for more...
