Ex Lion Tamer

Think the Wrexham fans were saying this on their forum

There should surely be a rule that football club accounts have to be drawn up on a year end 31 August basis to cover the summer transfer window

In case anyone is in any doubt, there is no way Stewart should or will start this one. Unless we want him to get injured again

He doesn't really need to be high scoring if his presence in the team enables the others

A lot will depend on his wage demands. There's a certain amount that we can justifiably pay him to be a squad player but will he accept that and will someone come in with silly money?

We do have to leave open the possibility that Martin was trying to protect his goalkeeper's confidence. Are people so credulous they think managers tell the truth all the time?

Not sure either of those players were available in the summer. We had the worst squad in the Premier League by a margin and perhaps it wasn't realistic to turn it round in one window. But under Spors we've gradually been sorting ourselves out

Fabrice Fernandes was a good player whose ball retention was an asset

David Connolly could have been the best footballer at the club, if he wasn't always in the treatment room.

Our previous two managers didn't rate him and it was bizarre that whole time

Can only speculate but I do wonder if it was club policy to play a back five and it took that long for them to relent

I think the squad argument only really works since Peretz came in (and to a degree Larin as well). Before that we were playing with a hopeless GK, so didn't really have anywhere near the best team in the division. Form since Peretz = job done well:

Can only think there's some kind of disciplinary reason why Edozie has been frozen out. I also don't understand why he didn't do well out on loan when he's come back to us and looked pretty good

Consensus on here was that it was a decent appointment, despite his pretty average record, so not sure it can be called ridiculous

They are a solid team and people shouldn't be misled by the 5-0

Jones has worked miracles for them but they want to replace him with our Russ

No one has scored more set piece goals this calendar year than Saints:

I really believe his minutes can be managed to keep him fit and justify a new contract

Yep it's exactly the sort of result teams have when they're going to be relegated

Honestly though, you can't just take players off like that at half an hour. Jander is an important player, we need to manage his confidence.

Second half means playing against tired legs, so it is different. And Larin is not ready for 45 minutes so you're still looking at 45 of Archer

You seriously think someone with his injury record can start 2 games in 4 days?

Transferring players is not the only or even the main benefit of the multi club model

Or they go to the middle East etc for a last payday

This is the kind of thing that fans don't always see but I expect we inquired about a bunch of players including strikers but got turned down, leaving us with Larin as the best available
