Don't forget Talbot! The man who let all our best players go halfway through out most disastrous ever League season.
Did I detect in Mark Ashton's email yesterday a hint that Appleton is not as safe as some have assumed? He said that we must show 'unwavering unity' during this time of challenge and adversity but that they are committed first and foremost to deliver success on the pitch. Quite right too, and an impressively worded email for a former footballer
Unless Pussy Kelner and his PR team actually write the communications...
Anyway, no particular problem with the signing of Vassell - a striker who has actually played games and scored goals at L1 level. I really like Hoban's build-up play but 13 games or whatever without a goal is not good enough. Truly he is the new Derek Lilley. If we get the crucial win tomorrow I'd really like to see Roberts given as many starts as possible once the pressure's off though. In fact I don't understand why he's not getting picked now. The lad scores goals doesn't he?
The introductions of Rasulo and Balmy were as pointless as predicted. But it could be argued that Roofe has worked out ok, so the scattergun policy reaps rewards of sorts.
