He played for Grenada against El Salvador in a World Cup qualifier the other week.

Wrexham have signed 3 strikers, 2 of them are from Gloucester City. I don't think they need strikers but defenders with all the goals they are letting in.

[Devongone]

Wrexham got Keanu Marsh-Browne from Forest Green, he's good, fast strong, been in the USA, one of several footballing brothers, Gold Omotayo who is Swiss, who I recommended for us when he was playing for Whitehawk, since when he has been all over the place in EFL and Non-League and despite being very skilled hasn't been a big success, and a bloke called Chris Sang who I never heard of. All their forwards are out injured.

Kairo has been on the move since not making it at Leicester. King's Lynn was a big chance for him and he took it. Grenada is a beautiful island, a jewel, one of the few places I'd renew my passport for - gorgeous, it had me writing poetry.

King's Lynn furloughed their striker Adam Marriott. they have given him a free to Eastleigh and let us have Kairo for however much. They keep pleading poverty but Ian Culverhouse keeps furloughing players and signing players and they know they can't be relegated. This is a strange season right enough.

Big big game on Tuesday for Sutton when Torquay visit. If Torquay win that will change the complexion at the top. And we have the two best away teams outside the play-offs to play in Boreham Wood and Bromley. On paper Boreham Wood look play-off material at least with Dancing's favourite keeper, Kane Smith at right back and Ilesamni and Fyfield at the back too, Mufata and Whiteley in midfield and Marsh and Tshimanga up front ,,,,,

All spellings left unchecked, couldn't be arsed.

Would love to see us put 4 or 5 past you know who Tuesday but cant see it. Would take another 1-0 but you never know.
2 Goals in minute turned the game on its head yesterday. Both well taken. We have suddenly the luxury of a 4pt comfort cushion now and could jump to 5th, 1pt off 4th if the results go our way.
For the first time in years I walk with a renewed spring in my step.

[SaltergateBorn]

I should be careful about that spring in your step, Dancing. I did that a few weeks ago and sprained my ankle. Still hurts.

By the way, i read this morning that Son Heung Min went for his Covid jab last night. He fell on the floor holding his face afterwards and had to be given resuscitation to get him back on his feet. He`s okay now though, apparently.

[Devongone]

If we put four or five past Nathan Ashmore I'd back us to win the League outright, even if Sutton put ten past Torquay! 1-0 would actually be a cracking result for us! Strange stuff this Non-League. Stockport sign Paddy Madden, known for his goals, team improves, but he isn't scoring them. Wrexham get Hollywood money, go into a slump, hit by bad-luck and poor performances. Notts County sack their manager days before they have a chance to reach Wembley and whilst they are in a challenging position in the league with games in hand, Solihull get this level's big-name player and are never sighted again, Sutton look like winning the league, but they'll have to dig up a pitch that cost half a million if they do, Torquay come out of the traps like greyhounds and just when it looks as though they are true stayers, they start to fall apart, but just as we all get used to them falling apart, they re-discover their inner greyhound, Chesterfield get a new young manager and progress from third bottom to the promotion race. and up their game from snail's pace in the transfer market to being such wheelers and dealers that opponents aren't so much worried about the result against us, as us taking our pick of their most promising players.

And as for you SGB saying that about Son, no wonder Archie Moore gave you detention! I like Jermaine Jenas, but he'd have us believe it is perfectly natural to wave your arm behind you into an opponent's face during a challenge. If McTominay touched him, then that's a foul irrespective of Son's tears. I agree Son went a little far when he decided to take the ball in and went off to fetch his dad who is bigger and harder than everybody else's dad.

Did anyone see Liam Cooper's sending off? That gland Shearer thought it was dangerous, course it was you gland, lots of things in sport are dangerous but there are two parties to dangerous incidents. One does something potentially dangerous, whilst the other puts himself into an endangered position. Being from the Bob-Wilson school of goalkeeping I went into dangerous situations most games. I took plenty of kicks etc from players who were going for the ball, including follow-throughs from lads who'd got there before me. If every time that happened there had been a sending-off we'd have ended playing against ten men every other week! Had Cooper not gone for that ball his alternative would have been to change direction and try and go with the forward. I could outpace Liam Cooper at 68. If he'd chosen that option and a goal had resulted from the move smug pundits would have been re-winding play to his failure to tackle and telling us he had the chance to win the ball. If a player is to be sent off when he wins the ball due to something that happens in the inevitable follow-through, not only will that make defenders hesitant to tackle and/or intercept, but also it will tempt attacking players to endanger themselves in the hope of getting caught and reducing their opponents to ten men. Of course you shouldn't endanger an opponent, after all it is only a game, but equally if you to choose to avoid doing that you should not risk being scapegoated and blamed if the result goes against your team. OPINION!
Call fouls, but look after the game for those who watch by keeping players on the pitch.

Cameron Mason who plays for Curzon Ashton is being released at the end of the season and there is rumour that he's on his way back to Chesterfield.

[Devongone]

We just signed Manny Oyeleke from Port Vale for a small fee. Midfielder.

Before we got Grant Smith I wrote to James Rowe and recommended he sign Cameron Mason. We'll need two keepers next season.

[Dancingwilldoit]

Fee allegedly £10k I saw yesterday. Hope he stays injury free as his history doesn't make good reading but lets wait and see. He certainly looks good when fit from clips.
Cameron Mason am not sure about. Part time at Curzon Ashton isnt a good place to come from to play second fiddle for us. Would have thought he wanted something better than that. Grant Smith seems to be our No1 for next season.
Do you get paid for your recommendations Dev? If you are up for it would you recommend to him that when Gunning is playing, somebody else takes our free kicks? Our set piece play is usually pretty poor and when we need a someone to muscle in and head the ball the man that fits the bill is invariably taking the free kicks. OK he scored from 1 but it was more of a fluke than anything plus Maguire claimed he got his head to it. Also can he stop being so "nice" its something we are not accustomed to. He needs to get more grumpy - you know "the players are not listening" "I could do better myself" "are you questioning my judgement" etc etc. Just the odd grumpy face and comment in each interview would make him look like a real Chesterfield manager.

[Devongone]

Perhaps previous managers got it wrong ...... couldn't be could it?

I just wrote and said current keeper's crap, you could get a decent one cheap from Curzon Ashton, England C cap and all that.

Do you think Grant Smith will stay for next season. I hope so. Two good keepers is a good idea.

I hope James Rowe is still being personable after tonight. Boreham Wood worry me they've got lots of ability if their manager lets them off the hook.

[spireitematt]

Teams we have to be weary of are Wrexham, FC Halifax and Eastleigh because they could get a playoff spot if we start to slip up. It's a case of we have to keep winning to stay in the playoffs.

This is what I said on post #19.

You've got Wrexham and FC Halifax above us by 1pt. Eastleigh, Bromley and Notts County are below us by 2pts or GD and they could overtake us in the playoffs. We need to keep winning.
