Being available to play cannot be part of the criteria for staying.

The time for sentiment is gone.

at the moment we've got management by elastoplast. we need to build a team from the back forwards and if that means getting out of this league (as looks likely) to do it, then that's what we have to do. going out of two cup competitions on successive saturdays is nothing to with part-time; it's to do with spirit- or a lack of it.

In recent seasons past, we have began with a squad of 20+ and gradually whittled it down to 16-18. That policy is all well and good if you can avoid a rush of sudden injuries. What makes our present situation even worse than it should be is that some of the injuries to our already small squad are less of the 'sudden' and more of the 'permanent'. I agree that the likes of Joe and Sedge are not the best players who have ever played for us, but how many games have they missed, when compared to say, Val and Gareth Whalley? If, as I assume, we have to release players before bringing others in, then who is it to be Joe O'Neil or Gareth Whalley? For me it's a no-brainer. Obviously I'm not suggesting that availabilty is the only criteria for signing players, but seriously lads, we do not have the resources to carry as many players as we have been doing lately.

Well I have now read the match report, 13 fit players and Logan unwell.

Lets hope we have more fit players on Wednesday.

I think you are all reading too much into this. It was a nothing competition, forced on the club by a television company. The youth team should have played instead of risking more injuries to key players.

It was the league cup.  Last time I checked we had not become a big enough club to toss off prize money in anything.

Agreed, Ecky.

In the last eight days, we have contrived to miss out on prize money in two competitions totalling £6,500.

Wouldn't some of that money have been rather useful in January?

Being available to play is relatively important though, being unavailable to play isn't very helpful.

However there is the question of being ABLE to play which is a whoile new matter.

I feel sure that we've covered this already but just in case my fevered imagination has indeed been working overtime there is, within the competition rules a stipulation of the number of first team players who MUST be played.

There's no point in us accepting relegation yet, but it is becoming pretty tough going through so many bad results and struggling to compete so much.

Its really easy to just start blaming the management but when you end up with 13 fit players because your budget is so tight its pretty obvious which direction we'll go in league and cup matches.

In hindsight im starting to see geoffs point when he seemed unhappy about our last reprieve. My only point of blame is the clubs transfer policy, I think we should be doing more to get young players from lower leagues in, even if it takes a while to get everything to gel. Again this is all so easy to type.

We need to remember how proud we should be of this club and all its achievements, the team needs our pride now more than ever!

Thats my bizarre sunday offering out of the way  ???

I believe that we will be welcoming at least one younger player from a lower league in January.  :-X

But back in the Summer we signed players with dodgy fitness records e.g. Potts and Whalley.

Still can't fathom out why we released Rose.
