I see Flynn is going with the quality over quantity line again. We all know how well that ended up in the summer
Lets face it, who in their right mind would want to sign here in the first place with the club in its current state? Players talk to each other and word gets around
'January is a tough window' had the alarm bells ringing for me. It's tough if you're a skint basketcase. If you're run professionally its an opportunity to tweak and improve. |

Yes, not sure Wrexham/Stockport et al will be having a “tough window” |

I wonder if Kokolo has an automatic trigger a la McEachran and Brewitt last year?
He's been solid enough.

Morfuni will either go shit or bust a la di Canio ( we know how that went in terms of finances)
Or it'll be a firesale with nothing of quality coming in...

Okay, let's park for a second that hell freezing over looks more likely than Clem finding £1m down the back of the sofa. The trouble is, lose the next two games and you've arguably reached a point where a major financial push for promotion looks pointless as we are so far off the pace. The time to do it was August and he shafted us. |

Mahoney's injury 'a long one' from Flynn in the presser...

I think Mahoney can be accused of being a sort of goalkeeping version of Brewitt (not that I agree with the naysayers on that front of course…!) He does a lot of the blood and thunder ‘spectacular’ stuff but is a massive part of a woefully performing defensive unit. Zero organisational ability, doesn’t look that confident with the ball at his feet, simply non existent in the air, error prone etc. Gets plaudits for saves like Brewitt gets them for tackles but overall has critical deficiencies. |

Opinions vary etc. and we'll certainly see over the next few weeks, but remove the names from your post and I'd have thought you were describing Lewis Ward fairly accurately.

Playoff run in Lewis Ward was excellent. Sadly he’s never been seen since… |

He went to Sutton and was fairly quickly second choice again. Imagine the reaction if we signed Sutton’s second choice keeper to start here. Ward is one of those keepers that will have a couple of good games & then a few stinkers. |

Mahoney is a great keeper.
Ward is an adequate keeper.
I still don’t understand why Garner dropped Wollocott for the run in - I mean I guess he’d said he wasn’t signing a new contract here, so I kinda get that. Principles…but then despite being so offended by Wollocotts action & dropping him - Garner then left the club and signed him at Charlton.

Peter Schmeichel was a “great” keeper. Mahoney is a solid L2 keeper. I saw nothing great about his performance at Tranmere! |
