Worst (opposition) player I've seen at Holker Street this season.

 

[Shotsfan1993]

Worst (opposition) player I've seen at Holker Street this season.

That was his last appearance for us. The problem was he was signed as a stopgap (Waddock spent all summer looking for a left back and couldnt find one he wanted) and cover for Arnold, but when Arnold got injured it meant he was our first choice, which he wasnt good enough to be our first choice each week.

Hopefully us releasing him means we have a left back lined up to replace him, because even though Reynolds has done a decent job ideally he would be playing at centre back with Evans.

 

[Darlo On Tour]

Darlington have just signed promising 16 year old midfielder Mitchell Glover. The Stoke-born playmaking midfielder, who doesn't turn 17 until April next year, is described by Darlington manager Tommy Wright as one of the most exciting and promising talents in non-league football. He played under Tommy at Nuneaton, playing for the first team as a 15 year old last season, and this season he scored with his first touch of the ball after coming on as a sub at Boston United in the VNLN.

Mitchell will now be included in the travelling squad for Saturday's away game at Gainsborough.

 

[DarkSithLord]

Alfreton have signed striker Frank Mulhern on 1 month loan from Guisley. Looked half decent but made a really poor and selfish decision when in on goal with Westcarr free to score that cost us big time.

He's strong on the ball, has plenty of talent, a great finisher but his decision making and desire needs work. Hence he's out on loan.

He definitely needs to improve his decision making.

Bondz N'Gala has extended his loan with us until the 20th January.

Pretty much until Elokobi is scheduled to be back up and running. Makes sense, especially while Sendles-Shite is still being inflicted upon us.

Sorry to ask it on here, but I've never been able to access the Orient forum and figured you might know - what's happened to Boco? Seemed a decent player to me, but he's never even on the bench - injured or out of favour?

 

[GTFCfish]

Jamey Osborne to stay at Solihull for another month. Absolute madness from us allowing that he's easily one of our best, fucking ridiculous decision.

He was warming up with the squad before the Haringey game, just no room in the team for him right now.

Decent player, but he is not a natural winger or central midfielder, he is an attacking midfielder and our system right now just doesn't fit him in.

A shame as he is a decent player.

I think we’ve completely wasted him tbh. All going nicely under Edinburgh so mustn’t grumble, but I’d be genuinely delighted if he replaced the finished Mooney in the side and pushed the wingers further forward.

 

[Chief Rocka]

Pools striker James Thorne has been released, played twice, spent most of his time injured, I wouldn't recognise the fella if he walked past me in the street.

 

[Soup Ladle]

More on the way probably. Adeloye will likely go, Simpson, maybe some others (hopefully Scott Harrison). Could probably get rid of a CM or two but likely no takers. I think CH might be allowed to keep Keith Watson, if we can shed a few off the books.

Might have to recall Jack Blackford from loan in the Northern league. One member of the Bunker will get a serious bonk on if we do that.

If you listen to rumours and Pam's avoidance of the question when asked there is no guarantee that the players will be getting paid in January, she said all of Decembers wages will be paid in full and she stopped there, so I suppose it depends on the players, do they chance it and stick it out with Pools in the hope we get a buyer or take their last chance to jump ship in January and shan us off?

Adeloye will be off, Simpson onto bigger and better things, could even see Featherstone, Donnelly, Loach leaving myself like.

They might have no choice but to stick it out as I can't see many takers. Clubs at this level would struggle to meet some of the wages we pay and I can't see many L2 takers except for the three you mention. Possibly add Deverdics to that, I think some lower end L2 sides might be interested in him if he became available or one of the bigger budget sides down here.

 

[doveranddover]

Liam Bellamy back to Dover
Which shows the level of players we look at

 

[Minstermen central]

Alex Whittle has signed for FGR from York

How the hell he got this move,not even first choice in our worst ever team.

Doesn't that make him even worse then?

Jake Sheppard, 20 year old right back signed on loan from Reading for the rest of the season.

Had a bit of a stinker in his first game yesterday, I think he underestimated the quality of opposition and got caught out a few times.

Spot on steve especially first half , he was drifting forward and switching off allowing clarke, norburn and jennings in behind him .

Still say the cook effort was onside mate lol. Highlights will be out later, undoubtedly i will be heading the fridge for a slice of humble pie.... but for now im sticking with onside

Being behind the goal it's difficult to judge accurately so I'll go with the assistant, it just proves what a damned fine fellow he was
Once I saw our team sheet I knew Cox was saving our 'best' eleven for tomorrow when we'll have the better chance of three points against Chester at home. Can't fault his thinking. Even with our best team working until they dropped we would have had slim chance of any points yesterday and would have cost us against Chester. Still no guarantees for tomorrow but it will help especially with Chester having the weekend off after watering their pitch all week. Sorry due to the snow

Must admit we had the conversation about the chester game yesterday, its only 20 miles from our place and has a newish pitch.

Decent defender, not amazing. But scored a couple of crucial goals for us. Has a rocket of a shot

We actually moved a place up the league by not playing.

I think the layer of snow on the pitch followed by temperature rise and rain caused the problem. Had we left the inspection until Saturday morning it would have been on. Please note this Solihull and Eastleigh

After seeing FGR play us a couple of weeks ago this guy cant possibly make them any worse they were attrocious.

 

[Luke Imp]

When's the whole PT/FT change happening, GuiseleySteve? January or being phased in through the season?
