It makes more sense to sign a back up keeper than a back up defender. We should not have outfield players contracted who we know will never challenge to be first teamers....unless we go down! It will not make or break our squad but it is not the best use of our resources.

He seems more attacking so if he does come it probably spells the end for Yalcouye and maybe Widell.

I would like to see more consistency in selection and a commitment to the players a manager has faith in. For example, Inoussa to start for a prolonged period. However if we did just play the same team and system over and over with no improvement we would also demand changes. Inoussa started 7...

We have a squad of players signed based on being good out of possession and physical, but compared to the other teams in the league they do not even stand out that much physically. Ronald embodies this, we went into the season knowing he would start almost every game on the right wing because we...

I did not say he was a loan. We may need to send him back to Scandinavia to raise money for upgrades and he is well known there so may have suitors. People keep repeating this line about Vipotnik as if he has been an undeniable success, he is a great finisher but does very little else. He has...

We need at least one of Widell, Inoussa or Yalcouye to step up quickly. I can see the promise in Inoussa and what he could offer differently from other players we have but Sheehan went off him at the end, O'Dea didn't pick him and now he was Benched for Matos first game. That could be down to...

Vigouroux Tymon Cabango Burgess Key Galbraith Yalcouye Franco Eom Ronald Vipotnik I think he will go with this tomorrow and first and foremost try to be high energy and irritating to play against. I hope he has taken to Widell and some of the new signings in the early sessions but I think it...

Coach speak sounds so much better in his accent. Mourinho might be a step too far but hopefully he is our Marco Silva or Nuno.

He worked for Liverpool and RB Salzburg before that though. Maybe the others worked for a big Portuguese club and will qualify in the same way but I have no idea who they are to be honest.

Do managers like Matos usually bring many staff with him? I know they have made the work permit system much tougher so will his lieutenants be able to get one from the Portuguese 2nd division?

Performances and results have been consistently so poor that any small improvement will be welcome. I will be intending to back him and hope he does brilliantly and think everyone should do the same. I understand all the misgivings and if we lose 5 games in a row, my good faith will dissolve...

Where is this? Makes sense that we did not get close to matching that. Matos must be on a third of that if that. Shows how much smarter we need to be with every pound we spend than our rivals.

This is a worry for me. The coaching has been bad and can be improved a lot but the fact we are such a dull knife going forward has me concerned that we just lack the talent to score goals in the team. After 16 games, you would expect someone to have sparked something and looked dangerous for a...

If we are honest, he has not done much this season other than score the eight goals. His finishing is excellent but he does very little else and either we create more chances for him or he probably will be replaced by somebody who can make the difference in other parts of the game. It is a...

This. This. This! We have seen Franco a lot at this level now and he is not a bad player at this level but is fairly limited and average. Stamenic was not the Fulton upgrade he was promised as and seems to be more of a number eight. Jury still out on him. Galbraith is a good footballer and is...

I do not think we will get relegated but I am also slightly worried about how bad things could get. Early in the season under Sheehan I thought he was not the man long term but would usher us to a safe and sightly dull midtable finish. That was partly because of my expectations for the signings...

Today only reinforced that Sheehan and his backroom staff did not fancy Widell or Yalcouye at all. Widell at the start and results got so bad that he needed to try something and so he was used a little bit by the end. Yalcouye started the first few games and has barely seen the pitch since...

He may be facing at least another eighteen months in League Two. Knowing our luck, every single player we signed and staff member we hired over the last 12 months will turn out to be complete duds. We will find out the Kitchen staff failed their hygiene rating and the secretary can not use excel.

All the players who have played look like they are giving a normal amount and there is no sign of laziness or players not caring. I am more worried by their talent than their effort and if any more than one or two have shown they are anything out of the ordinary for this league. Especially the...

Odea is becoming a very convenient scapegoat. The stories being pushed the week before Sheehan was sacked that suggested he was the problem felt like cover for Sheehan and now people think he was a corrupting force. The whole coaching group did not do well and the buck stops with the head coach...
