Neither does Dazza. Last time he was there with Wednesday, they lost 4-0 so my guess is he will have a point to prove on Wednesday. Let's hope so.

Valid question - how did it come to this? I stood in Cambridge Utd's pothole strewn car park this week, watching my car being washed and looking around at the portakabins, occasional skip and other assorted junk, not to mention their second rate ground and asked myself the very same question. This season, in addition to Okenabirhie, Cambridge added Ahadme (top scorer on loan from Ipswich), Kachunga, Kaikai and Lyle Taylor. These five have scored 33 goals for them in 128 appearances, goals that look virtually certain to keep them up. Last game, ironically, they put three past Wigan. Cambridge have smaller attendances than we do - and I infer, a smaller budget - and yet they had seemingly little difficuly in adding forwards to their squad having lost Smith and Knibbs to Reading in the summer. So we are entitled to ask some searching questions about striker recruitment. Cambridge are a well managed club, a community club, and they have an unrelenting focus on what happens on the pitch first and foremost. To me, therefore, our owners have got to have a serious look at where their priorities lie. This season may be too late (let's hope and pray not) but next season needs a complete change of focus. If not, we can expect more of the same.

Foyle? According to Wiki: "Foyle was named as Head of Recruitment at Northampton Town in February 2015. He went on to work as chief scout at Scottish Premiership club Motherwell the following year. Speaking in September 2019, "Well" scout Martin Corrigan credited Foyle with bringing a high calibre of players to Fir Park, calling him a "workaholic" with an encyclopedic knowledge of the English football's lower leagues. He returned to Northampton Town in his former role as Head of Recruitment in May 2021. He left Northampton Town in November 2021 to become Morecambe's Head of Recruitment. He left the role six months later. He joined Scottish Premiership side St Mirren as Head of Recruitment in June 2022." An interesting possibility, given his expertise in recruitment, which is something we desperately need after the last three windows.

Neither would the rest

We’ll be lucky - Ripley will be the first out followed by Gazza, Ojo and Chizzy.

Flitcroft had better start clearing his desk. Wouldn’t trust him with the Northern Premier let alone L2. The architect of our downfall.

That’s it. We’re down. What a shower Flitcroft has assembled, taking us straight back to L2. Completely useless. If Carol thinks she can entrust him with any more of her money she is certifiable. Well, season over and I’m done until next season unless Flitcroft is still here then I think it’s Leek or Hanley Town. What a shambles.

It's a fancy name for Company of the Year awarded by private equity companies at their annual awards event. If anyone is wondering what this company does, it buys promising businesses, builds them up and then sells them on at a profit. Its average return to investors is 6 1/2 times their investment, making it the most successful company of its kind in Europe. As someone else has posted, I wonder if Carol could tap them for some investment in the club?

Wow! Bought for £180m, which should buy a few forwards 😀. Synova is Europe’s top performing private equity company who have won House of the Year for four of the last seven years. We should be pleased but it’s a worry to think that DF may be allowed to spend the money. Just think of all those forwards he’s been chasing for the last two years 😬. On a separate note, I wonder what the Synectics staff will think?

...as deemed by Flitcroft; exactly what I meant

MOM Tom Pett - the player who wasn’t good enough for us...

Smudger - back to form, just like old times 😀

And a bit sad to be honest 🙁

Oh dear, Sjoke take the lead 🙁

QPR having the better of it atm and the Britannia is half empty - and like a morgue. Both look like real contenders for the drop, judging by this performance.

C'mon Nippy, be honest - bet you were there when he signed 😀

Well done, Carol - you have done us proud 😀👍🍾🥳💫

This may not look too shabby to any prospective managers looking in. We didn't give up, snatched a late point (which to me always feels like a win) and any manager worth his salt would be confident of improving our defending. Much depends on our beloved DOF: given the dire straits we're in, if he's stupid enough not to let an incoming manager do what he needs to do to keep us up he's lost his marbles and deserves the order of the boot. And Carol, despite our apparent lack of funds, needs somehow to find the money from somewhere to get the right bloke in or it's goodnight L1. But we're still in it and everything to play for despite the current table.

2-2 Never in doubt 😃

Reading one up

I wonder why?

And only his second goal ever in over 100 appearances. Port Vale - the gift that keeps on giving

Normal service is resumed

Back in bottom four. C'mon Vale, we have to find a way to win this

Ah well, it was good while it lasted 🙁
