Maybe we’ll buy one or both before Friday’s window shuts seeing as we’re awash with cash . . .

. . .  Oh, hang on.

It it strange, though, that one, if not both, could have signed on a perm for free but we went for loans.

I am pretty sure both players had fees put on their heads of about £50k up front if we bought them in the Summer, I know Bradford definately wanted a fee for Young and MKD were not allowing Kemp to leave on a free.

I understand we paid a loan fee for both players going by what Flynn said in an interview. He also stated that both were full season long loans and that Bradford and MKD would have to pay us a fee to terminate the loans in January.

So any loan termination fees could actually go towards paying for them if they’re going to be recalled in Jan.

What would the be worth come Jan? Say, Young scores 12-15, Kemp 8-10.

I have been told fees have already been agree with MKD and Bradford prior to them joining if we choose to make them prem deals as we did with Jeff Cott.

According to Flynn, no. He definately suggested that in one of his pre match interviews.

That all sounds very positive

I does make me feel more confident for sure on their futures with us.

Apparently Sandro tried to sign Kemp for us in January but couldnt get a deal over the line before he went to Hartlepool.

That explains why there were none left in the Arkells for Lindsey to wave to during his post match interview.

Havent read back.

My first game watching live.

Well i wasnt expecting that......

Early doors i thought Creepy did us a bit and failed to shoot when they got the chances.

I commented to my mates that the way they played was a lot better than when SL was running the shit show here. 1 zip at halftime was good enough for me and then we handed their arses to them on a plate.

A solid enough start for us, unbeaten in open play.

I always maintain that in L2, if you win at home and draw away, you will get auto promotion.

A bit of a buzz restored in me that i was scared had left me forever.

I think it must be a wind up now but the LSPOD Brewitt targeting continues.

He's the only player they pick out as being at fault for their big early chance.

Not Uwakwe, adding zero value defensively with a pathetic half leg out, not FBT, weak in the tackle and then doesn't get back quickly, not Khan, also weak in the tackle and then ghosted past by their midfielder, not McEachran, who gets absolutely done by a vague shimmy, not Dokes, who charges off like a FIFA player with a glitch, but poor old perennial last man Brewitt, who has seen his team mates part like the Red Sea in front of him and has been left between a rock and a hard place. Their runner with the ball has taken five of our players out of the game... five!

I love the pod and they can say whatever they like (they are doing The Good Lord's work on the ownership front for certain), so making this point out of continued wry amusement rather than anything else, but it does seem that some chosen players will never fall under spotlight (FBT/McEachran for example) whilst Brewitt, who to my eyes and most people's on here was very good on Saturday, seems to have a target on his back.

Dokes, for example, was shocking in the opening stages but not a mention for one of the new golden boys.

I really don't get why some people are still filing Brewitt in the David Duke drawer, especially as many can see that this system leaves him holding the baby most of the time. It will be interesting to see what happens when one of the darlings, FBT for example, has to slot in there.

I guess I'm just interested that people can see games/players so differently but that's football!
