Confirmed Shaun MacDonald has retired. Our second summer signing to do so. Just the curious case of Chris Long to go.

I’m hoping the loan is due to time running out last night and the deal is Blackpool pay up in January with no back tracking allowed.

I hope for our sake he goes and rips it up and we get a fee in January (unless that aspect is actually agreed/assured already?). Just need some sort of official news on Lowery, Macdonald and (?) Long. Then we can all get on with life.

Squeaky bum time for Owen Dale. Seems all indications are that his move to Blackpool has gone through but just waiting for the FL to confirm. If we get £500k for him we are absolutely laughing. Honestly don’t think he’s kicked on like he could have done. Good L1 player, doesn’t strike me as...

Series 1 finale of the Crewe Alexandra summer ends with Tom Lowery starting in the pizza cup tonight. Cliffhanger whether he’s signed or not.

c***. Good to see Doncaster are taking action.

Aye, it’s grim. Can’t see where our next goal never mind win is coming from. That midfield is ridiculously out of its depth, edging towards being one of the worst we’ve had imo. I dread fans turning on Artell and Kenny cos this summer has been a complete shits how that I don’t think they can...

Well he’s not been very good since he came, which won’t help. Definitely not filled the Paul Green, old head & instant captain material that we were hoping and expecting. He’s probably been the poorest midfielder in an absolutely woeful midfield. Twitterati seem to be hinting him leaving helps...

Rumours on Twitter (cos I’m the least “in the know” football fan on the planet) that Shaun Macdonald is now leaving after signing in the summer. I think we’d have made a good Netflix documentary this summer.

14/1 this morning. More like it.

Appalling odds tbh

Can’t make it, gutted. Seeing some of the condescending nonsense from Leeds fans on Twitter is keeping me entertained. Not seen it since Coventry fans in the JPT. Fully expect us to get battered but then I fully expect us to get battered by Charlton and Shrewsbury, so just another match day.

Trying to stay optimistic but my god this is a struggle.

Happy for us to leave Tommy Lowery and anyone else necessary out in the wilderness and for us to take the hit and get relegated if it means at some point these (this?) agent(s) will get the message and jump in front of a bus. And future academy kids will not try and dictate the running of the club.

Looks like Ben Knight from City has signed. Edit - TNO beat me to it

Tommie Hoban retirement confirmed. Bit of a weird saga but I’m uncomfortable with anyone giving him stick for it, in a situation like this there is always more to it and I highly doubt Hoban had any real intention of causing us disruption. And Thomas sounds the better player anyway.

Artell pays Portsmouth far too much respect and we never turn up. We’ve been absolute tripe today from top to bottom. Keep it below four and get the hell out of there.

I think my point was that we should fare better with the losses than in recent history regardless. For the last 15 years the club have not wanted to or been unable to act when we’ve lost players due to Hassall and co. This is the first test of the new regime. I’m not overly concerned with the...

Surprised Blackburn weren’t interested, the Pickering & Kirk double act was insane last season and they played a big role in each other's moves. Looking forward to seeing how Artell responds to this last week or two. If the new ownership are good to their word, Kirk’s fee shouldn’t be swallowed...

Two poor teams today. We were largely pants, looked exactly like a team whose pre-season has had every disruption imaginable. No real link between players and completely lacking energy. Still gifted Cheltenham the equaliser and never really looked like losing, so I guess it’s onwards and upwards.
