Has left Blyth, where’s he off to then?

I wouldn’t mind us seeing how fit he is during pre-season with a trial - always been a big dominant CB

Sorry to see him go but no surprise. Definitely one of, if not the, most technically gifted players we've seen at the club since 2012. Sent from my Pixel 6 Pro using Tapatalk Vital now that he is replaced with someone who can , like Jack dad , create that something from nothing. Someone like Dom Mc...

Regarding the budget debate, I believe Luton have one of the lowest, if not the lowest in the Championship yet they finished 3rd and are in the playoff final. I would also think the other team in the final, Coventry City have a relatively small budget by Championship standards. Fantastic point - wh...

If there is a next match. Much still to be sorted with Brad Groves,IE funding issues. I presume Spenny's future depends on whether Groves loaned them the money and whether he wants it back or not. If not, then they could survive if they cut the budget to fit their income and shed some of the player...

I believe he was only on loan at Wrexham, Boro are his parent club. Could be a possibility if he is released by them, but might also be of interest to Pools.

No he signed for Wrexham permanently from Whitby

Was released by Boro a while back and signed permanently for Whitby

I’ve seen Nathan Lowe’s name mentioned on social media. Hasn’t really worked out for him at Kiddy but I rated him highly when he was here last time. Scored one goal at Gateshead. That’s it!! Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk He played well in all of the games. Last game of the season at Kiddy he w...

Yeah, baron's post is a goodun. To put it succinctly, it's all a bit dead at present. For a club in our position where nearly everyone contributes in some way (BTB/volunteering/extra 50/50 tickets etc) there is at present a malaise, it feels odd. Totally agree , seems to be a bit of a disconnect be...

We’ve either got to stop having clauses in these players contracts to walk away the second an offer comes along So your response to Beck and Charman would have been "no deal" when he said he would sign but wanted a release clause? We've rather not have you at all than have you and risk losing you f...

Weledji would certainly be on my radar. 10+ goals from RB, bit of pace an physical.

I think it’s important both of our full backs are extremely physical with some height

I’d be really happy with Weledji and Staunton as fullbacks

Far too much time on my hands today , but below are some of the players I’d be looking at if I was AA and are out of contract in the summer Reece Staunton LB Nathan Newall LB Fraser Kerr CB Maxim Kouogun CB Rory McArdle CB Keiran Weledji RB Michael Duckworth RB Warren Burrell RB George Carline RB Lu...

We are part time, small squad and a few of the team suffering illness (Lawlor,Jass,Griffiths, Lambert) so can expect and accept losing games albeit was hard against two teams with poor form. However, what worries me is AA quickly going from "this is a different bunch of lads to last season" to now ...

Piss poor, season petering out, guess the Blackwell/bishop ground fans will be happy, sorry but I’m not, 2 top players lost and zero decent replacements brought in, not good enough, lucky if we make playoffs I disagree to an extent - I think Newall is more than decent , a very good fullback and has...

No media pressure on the manager these days. Uncle Ray is a club employee/volunteer and is not going to be too critical, and the Echo simply lift reports and interviews from the club website. "So Alan defeat against Scarborough today, what are your thoughts..." Not entirely sure it is the job of me...

Is a 4G pitch on a building site really going to generate a lot of income? If it’s at Skerningham especially… too far from everything. I suppose Faverdale the nearest one is Hunmersknott. No it wouldn't generate substantial profit. The town is saturated already with 4G pitches and 5 a side leagues ...

Just to add a couple of further points from the recent fans' forum with DJ - and these are only my interpretations of what DJ was saying. He mentioned that the 4G pitch could / should be the first part of a new stadium development to be built - hopefully providing a revenue stream for the club up-f...

I don't remember it boiling down to this? I recall it being quite high cost and given they wouldn't benefit ground grading it wasn't commercially viable to do it? That's how I recall it, it was a costly and pointless exercise in the end as the seats had also had to be covered. If I recall rightly B...

Game summed up in two sentences for me. One manager did a good job with his team at half time the other didn’t. One manager did a good job with his subs the other didn’t. It's easier to change things around at half time if you have had a poor first half. Clearly he strengthened his midfield which m...

AA has made a good loan signing with Dodds but our squad has several players who are just not good enough for this level & need replacing.

Really interested in who you think are not good enough for this level ?

Wondering if a 352 would work for us ?

Would definitely need another CB for it though

We are 4 points better off than at this time last season - give it time! Look at the league table so far , Boston , Kiddy , Brackley all below us. Our squad is much better than last season , granted it is a little forward heavy but I’d put money on it that AA is working on that Let’s see where we ar...

I think we will win 2-1 , Hazel and Lambert scoring

Assuming Rose won’t be fit enough to start I’d go for a starting 11 of -

Taylor

Griffiths Wheater Lawlor Hedley

Maddison Moke Purver Lambert

Beck. Hazel

Subs

Martin
Sukar
Rose
Rivers
Mondal

We definitely reinforcements. Any reason why Rose has missed so much of Pre-Season, that’s a worry? He’s a huge player. Just seen Danny and his wife has introduced a new baby to the wolf tonight, might have been the reason he’s been away lately. Congrats Danny. Think AA says it’s a calf injury But ...

Taylor, Hedley, Lawlor, Wheater, Sukar, Moke, Purver, Maddison, Hazel, Lambert, Beck

Subs: Mondal, Martin, Griffiths, Hughes (triallist), Emery (triallist)

Only 2 missing and our squad is extremely thin, Rose not in the squad is a huge concern for me - we are much better with him in the side

It’s pre-season and means absolutely fuck all. Long as we are firing and winning that first game vs Gloucester, a defeat to Guiseley in a friendly means nothing. Totally agree , a lot of teams in higher divisions getting beater by lower opposition. No need to panic What I would say is we need 3/4 l...

Thought the boro no 6 controlled the game and would like to see him on loan, no idea of his name but made it look so easy. Thought with Hazel and Lambert in second half we looked much more threatening and thought rivers had a decent game. All 3 to start for me. Maddison is clearly a gamble and cann...

So we are down to two locations and these have been agreed by the council....so why can't the fans know the two locations. Its a fan owned club, I have every confidence in DJ to deliver the new stadium, but the buzz this would create would be great. For the same reason we don’t get to know the ins ...

Sousa scored 7 goals in 14 appearances, not sure how many assists but I reckon a few. He smashes it at this level and with the way Beck and Hazel occupy defenders, would have a field day for us. Sousa would be amazing at our level , I’d love it to happen but really can’t see it! For me the priority...

Anyone at the game today ? How did the new players get on ?

No Rose as well. Not a major problem at the moment, and AA is right not to risk players who might not be 100%. Hopefully everyone fit to face Rochdale next week.

Rose is named on the bench

Looks like a very attacking line up

Maddison , Rivers , Lambert, Mondal , Hazel all in the same starting 11

Only Moke as a recognised CM

Interesting no Wheater again - hope it isn’t anything too serious

No Griffiths or Purver in the squad either
