Can imagine you as a Bryan Robson type. Am I right or am I right? 😄 Never got over the half way line. I remember on my debut chasing a loose ball into our opponent’s half and our teacher going mad with me. I did get to take all the throw ins on the left in our half - such responsibility! ....and a footballing philosophy was born 😉

"Goals are irrelevant to you, son" The ball was as hard and heavy as a boulder. We were only little kids and could hardly kick the thing. I remember playing an away fixture at St Filomena’s, Caverswall and the ball cleaned me out. I also remember playing a match on Poplar Drive playing fields and clearing the ball off the goal line. My clearance barely reached the edge of the 6 yard box. But they were good times and were thoroughly enjoyed.

Any others close to signing? Winger is close He may well be (& I hope he is), however ... ... arguably, do we not also need ano, different type of fwd more urgently? For a start, Brown, Gayle & Campbell - aka BGC - are certainly no BMX anyway. Their xG aside, are the x3 of them enough to see us though the season (injuries / suspensions etc)? Exactly none of them is the target man / hold up play / back to goal CF we arguably need. And we have just lost / pissed off / had snatched back the one guy we thought might have been that player. (Granted, he wasn't.) Maybe such a character is sat, hidden away in the Holiday Inn at Jnct. 15 (lest we lose our rock the city signing to a rival) with his pen in hand? Maybe the plan is to bag the goals we desperately need with false 9's & trickery (Mmm, see BMX)? And just maybe, Alex has some aces up his sleeve this weekend.

Is that a yes to Redmand then? I think he could still do a job in this league. Turkey at the moment isn't he?

Is Celina a winger? We still need a striker, another winger, CB and CDM He might play him out there but at Ipswich he looked a natural #10 to me from highlights. In his welcome interview, Jonty questioned him about AN's comments around bringing in some talented wingers, Celina corrected him and said first and foremost he's a midfielder, and his heat map puts him in the no 10 role a la Nick Powel... so I hope we aren't looking to stick him on the wing. He can play out wide, but he's already stated he's not a winger so you'd hope those sort of talks had taken place
