I think that Barnet were a league club in those days.

Isn’t Gary Bull the last non-league player we took on? Weren’t Barnet outside the league when we got him from there? If I’m right and that is the case, I can only hope that this bloke does somewhat better (not to mention better than the last ‘Taylor’ we had playing upfront!).

Something else. Leeds seem to be wrapping deals up, whether on loan or not, us??? what’s the problem?? 8 days and very few new rumours on players coming in.

Is it CC? or is it the club? It’s not our position, we’re better than Leeds…

Meatfly already on the books (and skinning Gary Ablett) before Woany sauntered down from oop north.

To N.Ireland red,

The answer is NO wit hregard to transfering it to the 1st team. Look at the 2 teams over the last 2 seasons since CC took over.

The reserves walked their way to the title last season, the 1st team collapsed in the play-offs.

This year, the reserves are 10pts clear of 2nd & a game in hand. The 1st team, well no Christmas collapse this year but inability to win vital games against lower opposition – re Cup games.

My thought, Pemberton – reserve coach might be moved on if CC doesn’t take us up just like McParland was.

My hope, CC goes whatever happens & Pemberton takes over. -))

”Who can think of the last non-league player we gambled on?”

Answer – Richard Tait from Curzon Ashton on 5th December 2007! He played at right back for the reserves last night and yes I am a smart arse!

It looks like we must have a scout in the north West who is making some decent recommendations of non league players.

I still think we should buy all of Luton Town’s better players as they seem to be better than ours and it may help to save them from going bust!

Why is it that our reserves have been amazing this year. Has anyone seen a reserve game this year?

The most important thing is how can we transfer this form into our league form!

Wasnt Gary Birtles taken from Long Eaton Town by the Oh Great One?

And what about Roy Keane from Cobh Ramblers…..perhaps not non League but surely as good as???

After all the money we’ve pissed up the wall (most of it by Twat Platt admittedly) on shite players then this guy might be worth a punt. However, lets not get too carried away because you can bet your house that all the bigger clubs will have heard about him and not taken up the option.

I’m reasonably sure we already had Meatfly when we picked up Woan… of course, I’m too lazy to look it up!
