I recall Ollie commenting on just that last season, a lot wil depennd on how far away McGregor is away.  Sobawale's pace at the back resulted in being able to play a higher line, unfortunately he has a tendency to switch off.  I suspect that the Town might release him given a decent offer.

From those there did anything else materialise from what Ollie said about there being "handbags" between our players and theirs at the end of the game? like who of our side were involved and why?

Probably nothing much in it but its something Ollie will have to stamp out, its fine protecting your team mates but only to a point.

Who's most likely to have been involved from our side? Harry? Ollie? (Clarke, not Holloway)

From where i was sat it looked like Tabor may have been Snowdon was hit a bit late and they had a little grapple of each other in the left back position but that was a few minutes before Wright scored so not fully at the end but near as. We left as Wright scored so unless it was after the incident above who knows
Melksham number 19 gave it to Minturn during the first half when Minturn questioned a decision, but the Melksham manager or back room staff was certainly vocal for anything resembling a misdemeanor on any of there players. Also chopsy little fucker plain as day shouted you're fucking having a laugh ref about 2 minutes in and nothing was said about it. The ref let things go and allowed the game to play which was good.

The handbags was at the final whistle in our pen. area. A handful of players from each side were involved. A lot of them were holding on to each other but I didn’t spot how it started.
