Word has it that there'll be no cuts to the 'Players Budget' next season. 

Well no, that’s because we had a league 2 budget in the first place. 

Just seen a video compilation on twitter of all the goals conceded this season with Sang directly involved.

It's over 2 minutes long 🤣

Outstanding recruitment. 

I think I counted 15, had to close my eyes while cringing for much of it though. 

Not going to count how many points were dropped here as it’ll make me too angry at the negligent, incompetent recruitment over the last 18 months.

And Lewis Cass remains out on loan

Madness...

I think the defensive marking by Vale has been shocking.How many goals have been scored by a free opposition player at the far post?

First player I'd be looking at would be Fankaty Dabo. Exactly what we need in a quick RB/RWB. Did brilliant at Coventry but missed the penalty to get them into the Prem. Was released and signed by FGR and was basically bullied by Troy Deeney. Obviously that penalty miss got to him but a very good player if we could get his head right. 

He was certainly decent at Coventry and as you say get him right,surely able to do a good job in League Two

I would hope that we were one of the many League clubs scouting Conn-Clarke at Altrincham 22yr old attacking midfielder a possible replacement if Chislett or Garrity leave maybe.

I also have a mate who has been watching a striker called Modou Faal currently on loan at Walsall also had loans at Fylde and Doncaster where he has scored goals on loan from WBA he says he is ideal for a striker at league 2 or even 1 level.

On a side note he also tipped MK Dons forward Max Dean to be a great player(destined for a bigger club than us that's for sure)

We need to find that striker who will turn into a Paul Mullin in League Two for us 🙂 easy isn't it. Matt Smith scored a lot of goals for Salford when he dropped down from Millwall to them,not saying go for him but if we do change the wage structure to get in a striker maybe one who will drop down could do the trick also?

I'd forgotten about that Barnsley goal on the break when he just gave up and started walking instead of challenging the ball. <ovf censored> raging.

But that's always going to happen when you have no specialist full backs/wing backs because when whichever midfielder/ winger who is playing there usually gets beaten with ease then that drags the whole defence across to cover leaving masses of space behind and if the makeshift full back hasn't read it and gets in position to cover the back post then there is always going to be unmarked players if they are clever enough to find the space im not going to single out sang even though his highlights reel is woeful because most of the others that have had to play there have all made the same mistakes on the right and left all season

This happened when Clarke and Crosby were managers.

Not enough blocked crosses and it usually went all the way to the back post for a tap in

Really?

Please share your inside knowledge, how much is the playing budget this season?

Don't forget our much vaunted recruitment team work 2-3 windows in advance, so as I write they will have highlighted next Januarys targets and even further ahead............Mind boggling isn't it ?

I agree you can't allow for Clark being out almost all season but we haven't had a right full back for two seasons since we realised gibbo worrell for how great a player that he was wasn't a wingback and playing him there you weakened two positions has he was our most creative player in attacking positions and on the other side we weren't lucky enough to have the lean and trim twice as fit looking mal benning that dominated our left side for Shrewsbury we had the inconsistent unfit one and failing that it was dan Jones and hes one of the biggest wastes of man juice ever up there with joules an look how good we made him look last week he even scored for fu(ks sake

Be interesting see if Clark hangs around next season, I’m assuming though that he signed a 2 year deal?
