just back

Quoted from grimsby pete

FACT. you will learn more when losing 4-0 to a team 2 leagues above you,

Than winning 12-0 to a team 3 or more leagues below you.

When we field our full strength team in the conference

That will tell us how good we are.

Roll on September  

You might be right Pete we can learn from playing better opposition. But on the other hand I seem to remember reading that Puskas and the Hungarian wizards of the 1950s used to play their practice matches against amateur sides they could beat 12-0 to build confidence and practise scoring.

It doesn't matter what we learn as fans from these matches, it's what PH learns. So I agree with you, the proof of the pudding will be there after the first 10 games.

Quoted from Teestogreen

Come on - I'm sure there's a better word than that

I can assure you I never wrote Twit! replace the i with an a and that will do

Aint we going to bother about the first 6 games in August then Pete ?..

Of course we are but the first 3 games we will be missing key players,

We will be able to judge how good our season will be by the end of September imo.

Paul had this to say on clay and ironside...

"The Town manager has been keen to keep his choice of trialists relatively low-key – something that is particularly difficult in this day and age of social media and message-boards.

"It's great for fans wanting to know and I understand that, but at the same time we don't always have to alert other clubs," Hurst said.

"They might be willing to put an offer on the table. We don't know who else might come in or if another offer might be more enticing for them"


well paul I doubt you have had to fight off the phone calls about them two.

jon paul pittman on the other hand looks quality, and he says in todays telegraph he wants another look at him against Mansfield providing he wants to stay !

I wish he would just make the lad an offer, he is just what we need and have a feeling he will slip through our fingers.

Oh well I suppose that passes for humour in miseryland. Where's Penfold?

last I heard he was hiding out with you.

So its our fault then if we dont sign any good performing triallists or any other good players for that matter, we dont need to know their names so we cant alert the enemy....loose lips sink ships and all that.

That Clay was fookin awesome the other night, ran the show and how on earth we have a chance of signing him i dont know but i wish Hurst would just get the deal done before someone else whips in with a better offer, i heard he has an affinity to Lincoln so i hope they dont get wind of how awesome he is...

I like the way you're thinking.

You fool! now we have lost him to Lincoln

Quoted from Garth

You fool! now we have lost him to Lincoln

Would be a tragedy if we let him slip through our hands. I likened him to Patrick Viera - though my mate reckoned he was a
"big Bryan Robson"! PH had better get him signed up PDQ or there'll be a lot of gutted Town fans....
