One of the biggest match ups in League 2?

According to someone on our forum she has indeed gone into labour.

More likely his wife's gone into labour than him sorting out a deal elsewhere I think.

His wife is due to give birth in the next week or so apparently, can't see why he'd want to uproot unless it's a really good offer for both himself and for us. I'd rather he stayed, he seems like one of the more popular players in the dressing room, but if the offer is half decent then we've...

Gillesphey for Raynes would be a weird swap, would leave us with quite a short defence with Brisley the tallest at 6"2 I think. Individually Gillesphey would be the better player to have, but he's not too different from the other centre backs whereas Raynes is a very tall stopper who'd be handy...

Confirmed by Dykes in a club interview today that he'd received an offer. Sounds like Championship or Premier League, I know the Sun were reporting that he'd been offered the main scouting job at Leicester amongst other interest. From the interview it seems like he might want to take a look at...

Adams and Devitt equal on being our best signings so far. 5th is probably a fair guess for us although at the moment I'm thinking it could be anywhere from 12th to 1st, tough one to call even for our own fans given how many variables there are (bad owners, unpredictable manager, notoriously...

It'll take a minor miracle for Bristol to win that, unless they've made wholesale changes from last season I really think that match will truly show how much of a better squad Cheltenham have. Expect double figures on Cheltenham's end.

I saw Adams at Warrington and he seemed to be running down the line every time, similair to what Gilliead used to do. Devitt will hopefully be used mainly behind the strikers rather than on the wings; I gather this is where he's most effective and he's one of our best player so we should be...

Surprised Jabo's odds are that short compared to Miller and Wyke. Given that we've got 3 pretty equal strikers I'd say it's unlikely that any one of them will run away with top scorer, more likely to share the goals between them, so I wouldn't say any of them are good value there.

What an athlete. Staked a good claim for being our greatest player of all time in his short lived spell here.

How strongly/reliably linked? He certainly won't be first choice for us, I should think he'll be competing with Atkinson for third choice, so if he's more chance of game time with you it'd make sense I guess. He's just finished a degree at a university near where he lives (can't remember which...

And yet he's ended up with you, half way through summer and having had to go on trial first - isn't that more of a bad sign? i.e. if he was any good one of said scouts would've had him signed earlier.

Cheltenham are actually so good that they're taking all of the top 7. The league will soon realise that they're light years ahead of any other competition and will see it to be unfair that anyone could be promoted with them as equals. I'm also hearing that they may be granted a double, possibly...

Agreed. I think the owners and a large portion of the fans have warmed to him now more than they did with the last couple of managers, and our board aren't really ones for sacking managers unless there's extreme pressure to do so. Plus most fans I feel would sort of accept top 7 - which we...

I think we're much better set to match up to teams like Portsmouth this season instead of relying on a good backs-to-the-wall performance where we get a lucky result. First game of the season as well, Curle will surely be looking to set out our stall for the season as being a passing side...

I've only seen the Warrington game which was hardly any use to go by seeing as the opposition was horrendous, as was the pitch. We played 4-2-3-1 in the first half and Adams and Lambe were tearing them apart, Adams got the ball and ran down the wing to cross every time whilst Lambe was more...

I'd go for a solid 4-4-1-1 considering the circumstances of our opening match. Team as follows: GK: Gillespie RB: Miller CB: Atkinson CB: Brisley LB: Grainger RM: Lambe CM: Penn CM: Jones LM: Adams CAM: Devitt ST: Jabo/Miller Potentially 7 new signings starting if KC were for some reason to...

Well they aren't exactly going to say they want to be in a relegation battle are they... Odd to say Bristol Rovers had a worse squad than you do now when one of you has already been promoted out of the league, the other having only just been promoted into it. If what you say is the case then you...

1 - Portsmouth 2 - Carlisle 3 - Orient 4 - Doncaster 5 - Blackpool 6 - Cambridge 7 - Luton Some very good signings from the 'big' teams this year which I believe will make it slightly harder for the Accringtons of the league to push for the top 3. Portsmouth have to do it this year, if they get...
