Excellent choice on goalkeepers now
Agree Fitzsimmons or McKeown would be sound at this level. My son says McKeown did not get a first team start for Grimsby last season. Agree with earlier post please not Willis. I've really had it for life with his timewasting tactics, whether playing for us or not. Wrecks the game.

Has to be something promising inwards if Dux is allowed to leave...

Ker Ching......that's £200 quid on new home and away shirts in our house then*. But I pay it willingly if it helps fund our promotion out of this league. *(For the mathematically minded this is broadly computed on 6 shirts@£33 inclusing ST discount).

One assumes that JB's quite rapid (and IMO very welcome) signing suggests we are not fully FT next season. Maybe a hybrid model will emerge??

Agree with Uncertain Corridor: "It felt like they had done some really good homework on us and the better team won on the day." I think in the end just too many things came toghether: a) too many injuries and, at least some degree of b) Paul Cox inheriting players he wouldn't neccesarily have chosen from the season off c) limited loan options in a market that was closing by the time Cox took over. Taking all that into account a really creditable pormotion push from the starting point of only just being play-off contenders in the first place.
I think the big issues now are a) whether to go FT or not (some of these players may be quite happy with a proper day job and £600-800/week on top and for family reasons may not be prepared to go FT) b) how to replace the star studded loanees who deserve to be at a higher level next season perhaps, c) how to handle some of the very good experienced older players who may not have another season left at quite the same intensity as the last one but who are really good assets if not over-played d) how to handle some of our 'stand out' players who might want away to the NL now it is clear we are stuck in NLN for one final seson.

Thanks Mel. Gutted to say I still have two straight reds and will be missing the Fylde trip as well. Timing could only be worse if we get through to the final. I have a die hard Kiddie fan colleague at work. She's been a Harrier for 30+ years. Said to me Boston deserved to win on Thursday. Fair play in thought. Enjoy a bid day out tomorrow all.

With you Mel...I'll be there too next Saturday (unless get Covid from the oh so crowded Ellenders with that massive crowd, 400 of whom won't be back for extra helpings of that football feast). This was woeful, embarrassing and thoroughly complacent. Miracles do happen but rarely for us. Despite my affection for some stellar individuals several of whom are on crutches at present, and some who are on loan, my retained list of permanents is very small. Feel so sorry for the Chairman and even for Paul Cox.
