Very good offensively. Instant control two quick feet can see a pass. Not so good defensively as yet which was why Batty was exposed.

Formica was one culprit.

With the transfer of Sanchez from Brighton to Chelsea having been displaced by Jason Steele as number 1 for Brighton how much is Steele worth now. Funny old game.

Just as well he is doing such a good job we'd be in a right mess otherwise.

Even Kean had enough and left.

Lancs telegraph headline CEO wants closer relationship with fan base! How long has he been here to suddenly decide this now.?

Rare arrival at Liverpool airport this morning an Indian registered business jet on a direct flight from India. Co incidence?

Callum Davidson leaves St. Johnstone by mutual consent.

For me this deal had The V,s mitts all over it. The insistence on pursueing the appeal as far as possible even when the opinion of the DOF was it was highly unlikely to succeed. The sudden availability to pay a wage way above the ceiling. The fact JDT wanted a striker and not another mid fielder. it was another of their special operation punts. Let's not forget they have previous for pursueing pointless legal cases and not listening to advice

Nixon has not had a Scooby about Rovers for some time then suddenly back doing pieces on O'Brien and Diaz. It's all froth and a PR exercise.

Probably the same mythical 30k a week as for the forest lad.

Looking on BBC football transfers the Markanday deal is listed at one minute to midnight on the time line very much one of the last deals to go through. That one very nearly didn't happen as well!

Desperate stuff but no such problems getting the outgoiñg markandy deal over the line probably spent all their time getting the appropriate paperwork for that deal in order!

No worries I am convinced there will be another Liverpool loanee arriving in the summer.

You would start Moreton?

I see Joe Nuttall ex of this parish is now playing his trade at Oldham

Contract runs out end of the season I,m sure uncle Tony will look after him just like he did with gladwin

Harsh. I would also suggest Millwall have as much chance of a top six finish as we have

May depend on the system you are using. I have problems with a dated laptop running an older program. It is less of a problem using a modern tablet.

i see Nahki Wells starts for Bristol he generally scores against us if we can keep him quiet that would be good

Felix Goddard has returned from the loan to Bamber Bridge

Had a trip to watch Bamber Bridge yesterday against Guiseley in particular to see how Felix Goddard was getting on. Felix had an excellent game making a number of crucial saves and commanding his box coming for high balls and catching them despite a battering from the Guiseley forwards. Unusual to see a keeper so dominant of his area at this level

Think Tomlinson was Chorleys player of the season last year. However in recent weeks he has lost his place in the starting eleven to Joe Nolan. It has also been rumoured he returned at the start of the season a stone over weight. Hope he can knuckle down to fight for his place.
