We miss the greasy fucker badly in the centre. Featherstone does the basics right but is limited.

Our best player is a RB playing in RM.... Today was one of the worst performances I've ever seen.

I'm worried who we're lining up in January. We could be relegated by March easily.

Look at the shite we've brought in this season. Granted we have money available but who can we attract that's capable ....

Spoke to a mate of his who knocks around with him last week asked if he could find anything out he said can't see that happening then text me to say nothing agreed yet, so something in the mix.

I think Walton is probably better than what we have right now but not sure he's enough to keep us up.

We need a team of hard bastards. That is the singularly only chance we have. A team of 11 complete thugs.

Anyone signed should have their wages linked to whether we stay up, and have the ability for us to cancel their contracts or give them vastly reduced terms in the event of relegation , we can't bankrupt ourselves on the long shot we stay up

I would fully expect some clauses related to relegation will be put in place, if they are not then it could spell further trouble as you say.

We need leaders but waltons fitness would clearly be an issue again. Hollywood passes are not what's required.

Luke Williams will be a massive help and if we can pay some of his wages we will have a chance. Boro clearly don't want him

If. Ronnie is daft enough to sign Walton it is back sides in Binns window time and Binns shut 20 years ago!

Any resemblence to persons living or dead is purely coincidental.

(Mr. Green's office, Hartlepool. January 2nd 2015. A single candle burns in a a corner. Mr Green sits at a large leather topped desk. He is writing a list. His quill scratches swiftly across the faded parchment in front of him. He adds an item then scores a line through it. He sits back and stares at a framed list of football fixtures that has been mounted on the wall. There is a knock at the door).

Russell: Come in. Oh, it's you Mr. Moore. I'm glad you could find the time to see me. I know how busy you are.

Ronald: That's not a problem, Mr Green. How can I be of assistance?

Russell: It's this staff recruitment business Mr Moore. I need some suggestions of whom I might pursue to assist you in keeping our fine institution at its current station.

Ronald: Well Mr. Green, it does rather depend on a number of factors.

Russell: Please be good enough to elaborate...

Ronald: The first consideration is how much money you have to invest.

Russell: Invest? I like the sound of that. You mean we'd have a good chance of increasing our wealth should we make the right decisions?

(Mr. Moore shuffles uncomfortably)

Ronald: And then there's the issue of the availability of the right people. I'd want people of quality. Colleagues with grit and resilience, craft and invention. Workers who might be appreciative of the place they hold in the hearts of our benefactors.

Russell (thumps his fist onto the leather table top): Exactly Mr. Moore. What other factors should be reconciled?

Ronald: Well Mr. Green, once these talents have been identified and due analyses have been conducted to ensure - within reasonable tolerances - that they might be considered compatible, the challenge might be to entice them to relocate to our pleasant town to ply their chosen trade.

Russell: A challenge you say?

Ronald: Indeed, Sir. We have spoken before of how others perceive our institution at this juncture. We are hardly an employee of choice Mr. Green. Future employees of note would be taking a considerable risk is responding to our offers of gainful labour. The very young and untried perhaps...the aged and broken, the ruined and despoiled possibly...

Russell: Aged and broken! You mean experienced surely Mr. Moore?

Ronald: Of course, Mr. Green. I beg your humble pardon, experienced is a much better description. A much more acceptable portrayal of the situation. A fine choice of words. Might I also suggest that callow whippersnappers be lauded for their potential? Their value for money?

Russell: Excellent suggestion Mr. Moore. But I detect a note of caution?

Ronald: Yes Sir. We need experience Mr. Green. Good old fashioned experience. Skilled, hardened professionals who know how to win. Fellows that have faced down adversity with resolve and determination. And these employees Mr. Green - if we should find them and if they should wish to come here - would be expensive. Their remuneration would need to reflect their guile and our predicament. A fee may be required to secure their services. A number of their kind even have professional agents who require an additional levy.

Russell: I have heard of such practices. I can't think that employers in our honourable trade hold any truck with such avarice.

(Mr Moore smiles plaintively. His eyes roll).

Russell: So what's to be done then, Mr. Moore? Which way should be turned? How might things be progressed so that this fine establishment might find its feet once again and maintain its seat at the appropriate table? What would you advise Mr. Moore?

Ronald: Strawclutching Sir. Strawclutching and railway tickets to Cleethorpes, Halifax, Woking and Dover. We could visit these fine towns with a little spending money in our slender wallet. We could cut quite a dash Mr. Green in Lincoln and Chester with a few pounds stashed away...

Russell: Thank you, Mr. Moore. You've been most supportive.

I think Williams is injured unfortunately.

We deffo need someone creative in the last third. We had loads of possession on the edge of their box today but just tended to go from one side to another.

I can't find any news of an injury? He came off the bench for Boro in their game before today but not in squad today so probably right.

Different Williams, I'm sure that one is Rhys.

He played for Scunny on Boxing Day but got crocked I believe, would have missed todays game at Sheff Utd had it been on.

Not sure when his loan runs out like, but cant see him leaving them to come to us unless mega bucks involved.

He wasn't in Scunthorpes squad on Boxing Day.

He joined them 23rd October. Maybe ran out 23rd Dec?
