    I expect Ross to get the players up for it... really the only really very poor game this season was Saturday. As the players were always going to be physically/mentally drained after the tinpot cup semi-final

    Yes, George gave them all the justification they needed, to make something out of nothing, and boy did they milk it.

    I'm of a similar opinion. He's a smashing lad, great personality and would run through brick walls for the club which is a huge change from what we've been used to previously.

    I'm not sure on how much real quality he has though from what I've seen for a step up.

    That said we're in league one and he's fine for us right this second.

    I also agree, the positive things you mentioned will take you a long way in football but to reach the top levels you need more.

    I've noticed he has good close control, he's brought a few balls down that I didn't expect him to and that's usually a sign that someone has quality. He seems to have an eye for goal and doesn't panic in attack, he looks for the right thing to do.

    There are promising signs that he can cut it in better leagues but it's early days.

    This is precisely why we need promotion - to see how O9, Baldwin, Hume and others get on in the Championship.

    Our main strength is team spirit, not individual talent, apart from McGeady, but we do have a very good team which with a bit of luck will achieve their objective. OaU.

    I think we need promotion to safeguard the long term viability of the football club mate, not to try out some slightly above average League One footballers....

    1. We should sign Moore if we go up

    2. The weather conditions are gonna play a big part in tonight’s result. In fact, it could totally be a spoiler!!

    Morgan n Sterling could be 2 bloody good subs to bring on late in the game...............if were still in it of course. Both got pace and both like a pop at goal.
