was told earlier that after Tuesdays big blow out of the JPT, which could have brought in a massive financial reward had we have progressed, Guy got on the phone to rocha who is still with out a club, its sounding like there is a real possibility that the Fl may give permission to sign him for a month.....a taster to see if he can be persuaded to stay long term! C'mon peeeeeeps, get him signed up!
The perfect solution for us would be to sign Rocha to a similar contract to Connolly's where he is a player coach.

Watch out for more rubbish spouted by the players in the news about how they're going to put it right. Methinks they should learn to keep quiet.
Apparently Ian McInnes stomped out before goal 4. Only listened to the game but it seems we just can't deal with route 1 football.
Not the sort of response needed after the Newport game... 2 home games coming up now against teams above us in the table. Difficult to be anything but gloomy about our prospects after this run of form. Losing away from home is one thing, but these have been awful performances. Obviously Guy can't do much with regards to changing the team (perhaps Painter might be fit enough to start soon) but the defence has been fairly dreadful all season. Let's hope Rocha is working us or fancies a few games before he goes off in January...
Left back position does seem to be a problem area for us. Could be that if fully fit now, Marcos Painter could do a good job for us there. Joe Devera is not a left back, so why play him there Ric Rocha has got quite a job on his hands with his short term coaching role on our defenders. Let us hope they take heed of what he says, and learn from their mistakes. Can't say at the moment that I am looking forward to our next game, to be honest
