He's gone from Gordon after the accident to Gordon before it

If Broughton thinks a 23 year old from an inferior league, having recently graduated from college football is likely to be an upgrade on (for example) Harry Leonard and is worth dragging halfway across the world then I would question his credentials to be the Director Of Football at our club. Having assured us that a newly installed system would prevent another deadline day catastrophe, only for this to be seen to be patently untrue, then I again question his credentials to perform his role. I can only conclude that the man is a complete moron. What other explanation can there be.

Apologies if it has been mentioned earlier on this thread but apparently Buckley played tonight.

I don't know if you know a little more than you are prepared to post on this issue Tomphil, and fair play if that's the case, but your post chimes exactly with something I was told on my way out of the Jack Walker Upper after today's game. The chap talking to me is a former long time employee of the club, and his story is identical to yours and was told to him by a club contact. In fact I have been for a meal with family tonight and recounted what I heard, only to arrive home just now and read your assertion. Food for thought indeed!

True, but us deciding to play without anyone in the left back position didn't help either.

Yes, me. Wondering how to get it

I bet you enjoyed your mate Simon's last minute goal 😉

We went 5 at the back for the last 15 minutes there with Pickering at centre half. Surely Hill back there and Brittain to the right would be better?

Surely Brittain to full back and Siggy on would be better?

I'll be interested to see which 1st Division clubs were after buying Garns during Saxton's time. Howard Gayle heard that Liverpool were interested around that time.

What on earth must the likes of Terry Gennoe think when they see a howler like that from our keeper? They are so over-coached nowadays they forget the absolute basics.

Centre half, very young, highly rated.

Not a lot of people know that...

Tony Diamond?

I was there five minutes before kick off today getting pre match snacks. Part of this building is now a cafe, appropriately named The Beechwood.
