Makes you wonder if someone else is being sourced behind the scenes. I hope so.

I must be psychic! 😉

Stockport have just signed Paddy Madden from Fleetwood. A big statement of intent apparently although may push a couple of their strikers down the pecking order

Says on the JL site that the Blackpool paper gave the Madden transfer fee as £250,000! 😲😲😲😲

That CAN'T be accurate surely?

Those of a certain vintage will recall one Andy Green.
He was bonkers, the original Mr Angry but he scored goals and disturbed defenders.
You didn't have to know how to wind him up...he came, to use a phrase "oven ready". If you had taken that aggression away he wouldn't have been half the player for us that he was.
Ken McKenna was no shrinking violet either and nor is Kosylo.

Agreed... see also a certain Mr Hulme.

Rather have players with fire in their bellies than the softies we've had in certain regimes like the Sinnott era, where we played some nice stuff but got steamrolled right down the middle of the park.

Softies in the Sinnott era like Walshaw and Perry?

Didn't Steve Connors play for Sinnott?

Good job Kingy isn't playing nowadays. He'd probably get ten years. 😂😂😂😂

But who would have had him any other way?

JK and Gerry Casey were worth a goal start before we even got on the pitch.

I understand your point, however the abiding frustration with Kosylo (and I do rate him as a player) is that the majority of his yellow cards are largely avoidable in that they are received for dissent or, frankly, inane actions rather than for not being a 'shrinking violet'.

I recall a ridiculous booking at Chesterfield for a stupid pull on an opponent's shirt when they we deep inside their own half and not presenting any major threat. Plus last night's caution appeared to be for a few 'choice' comments directed towards the referee.

No, Steve Connors was signed on loan by Ken McKenna during the second half of the 2010/11 relegation season.
