Things happen in football for players to be recalled at any point whether it’s after 1 day or 3 weeks. It’s not tin pot at all. Just sounds like you’re having a pop for the sake of it. 

Yeah ok 🙄

Just noticed we've recalled Shorrock from Stafford Rangers after only 2 appearances. Maybe he's gonna be in the matchday squad , it all looks a bit embarrassing & tin pot 

That's right, go straight on the negative without a moment's pause to think it through.

That’s the spirit mate.

Great to see the number of Academy lads on the bench and Walters in the starting eleven. 

Bull's is rammed. Reckon we will be 9K at least.

Shorrock is straight on to the bench today, so clearly something’s happened to one of our players for us to have to recall him at short notice. Maybe next time they can give you some notice on injuries or illness. What kind of timeframe would you like before you think the club is tinpot?

Try bringing a decent lwb cover in beginning of the season instead of relying on a 16 year old to be back up for a crock when your other back up lwb is out injured whos not even a wing back. It's all a mess, want some positivity... Crosby & Flitcroft out!!! 😃

why does it? We've loaned him out for a month then recalled him after less than a week. If we're that short on numbers why send him out in the first place 

When we loaned him out Arblaster and Ojo were fit  Now they aren't.  I think it's as simple as that. The lad needs minutes on the pitch but we now need bodies.

yeah he's come in for sang that's clear to see now 👍🏻 maybe i shouldn't of used the word tin pot, but we shouldn't even be in this position in the first place. He's not part of the first team plans or we wouldn't be loaning him out. Left ourselves short because of poor recruitment in the first place

nothing to do with them pair mate he doesn't play centre midfield i can see why he's been recalled maybe my original post wasn't worded right

It could be that it’s down to something on the loan clubs part too. It’s not tin pot at all. Just sounds like you’re having a pop for the sake of it.

Can’t disagree with that mate.

State of that 18. Issues of the summer rearing it’s head again. Loft and Massey on again, both clearly impressed on saturday! I get it wilson won’t be fit for the 90 but I’d rather we take the game to them with Wilson on from the start and loft later on if need be

I know loft isn’t flavour of the month but I’m convinced we’ve got to play with a striker, play up to them and get bodies around them. Try and get them playing through their poor form.  Funny that Massey saved his good game for when he played his former club last week.

Hard to see what options there are. Conlon is clearly off on 1 Jan. Don't see Cass as better than the other centrehalves in the squad, or on the bench. Sang is missing but may well be injured.  Uche is ill. Wilson probably only fit for 45 minutes.  The only questionable calls are Walters and Lowe, with Smith to come in for one of them. I'm not particularly inspired but don't see what the alternatives are to be fair.
