When you say another Devine, do we mean a drag queen?

McCarthy review from a guy I know at work whose a Barnsley fan - "I like him, our manager doesn't rate him and won't play him but I think he's good. Not the quickest but a big lad and a good defender"
Sounds promising!

Absolutely I heard similar. Can head and tackle but not bags of speed, similar to Syd Nelson, decent at attacking corners too. In L2 you dont need much pace as a defender just the ability to get in blocks and challenges when and where it matters and then find a team mate with a short pass, a defender that can defend he doesnt need to be able to pass and dribble like Beckenbauer. Much like McDonald was. |

If he looks good, we should definitely look to sign him in the summer. Anyone know when his contract is up? Must be soon. |

Crewe's centre backs impressed me last weekend, but they have conceded 40 goals in the league so perhaps aren't that good of an example. Mansfield however possibly are. They have conceded a miserly 21 goals in 26 games and their CB pairing is Aden Flint (6ft 6) and Baily Cargill (6ft 3) who I don't think are particularly quick, but I bet know how to defend properly. |

First and foremost get him back to full fitness again, he had an entire season out last year with a ruptured ACL which is notoriously difficult to overcome and often comes back after repair. Hes only played 3 EFLT games (scoring once) since September 2022 when it happened. |

Wasn't sure where to post this with the game off tomorrow, but Gunning saying he'll change the formation and system, simplifying players' roles. https://www.swindonadvertiser.co.uk/sport/24062053.gavin-gunning-looking-simplify-messages-players/It is League Two and players are going to make mistakes, it is what it is, but it is all about being positive when they make mistakes and then being brave enough to make them again. This bit did make laugh, as if we haven't been seeing the same mistakes week after week... |
