    In recent seasons Stuart Campbell has spent most matches scurrying around like a blue-arsed fly tidying up all the mistakes made by others. No wonder he always looked knackered come the end of a match.
    Now, hopefully, he won't have to do that (I can't see Lines starting every match!!) Buckle has hinted that he won't be an ever-present, but when he is picked he may be able to do something more creative. He had a shot against Mangotsfield that was greeted with well-intentioned mirth, such a rarity as it was...and it didn't miss by much.
    Those who went to Lincoln in the promotion year will remember the stupendous goal he scored.
    With the shackles off will we see a more attacking, creative Campbell? Remember, he started off as a winger.

    Hopefully he`s still got a bit in the tank but I hope the new boss gets rid of Lines. He`s flattered to deceive for far too long.

    At Mangotsfield Lines didn't look Buckle's type of player. Gill, Stanley, Brown, Campbell etc want to get on with the game; playing at pace.
    When Lines plays at pace you notice!!
    Although we haven't spent a lot on the new players, the wage bill has to be paid. I'd expect two of Lines, Kuffour and Sawyer to be
    off-loaded.

    I'm sure Lines, Kuffour and Sawyer need to go. I would have thought they would be busting a gut to get themselves sorted out with a new club OR would be fighting for a place in the side. I've got a feeling they're the type of people who will need to be pushed.

    Hopefully they'll be loaned out if they don't get fixed up soon.
