    Despite a very wet winter we continue drowning the pitch at pre game and half time, there was a few losing their footing in the first half against Bolton, some in the area Gayle pulled up. I’m hoping this practise whatever the reason is not a contributory factor to injuries.

    Sir Brian used to soak the BBG mud.  It worked for us then.

    FWIW, I think Gayle would be a good signing.

    It may be a while back, but he's shown that he can score goals in the Championship, he's played in the Prem, the Conference North and League Two, so he should know how to scrap in League One. As a couple of posters have pointed out already, the success of old b*ggers like Rhodes, Chris Martin, McGoldrick and Collins in L1 shows how valuable that experience is. He probably hung around at Newcastle for too long (but on good money, who wouldn't?) and has had injury problems, but we just need him to be a pro for 13 games and keep opposition defenders thinking. Gayle's game seems to be good positioning and finishing in the box, pouncing on second balls, so as long we can create chances, he should be able to finish.

    The only thing that counts against Gayle is he's a tiddler at 5"9', so may struggle with 100 lofted crosses a game. He's certainly not a Collins clone.  However, his WBA highlights reel shows he's actually decent when he has a free/diving header. Plus, he can take a free kick.

    I'm 5ft 9ins.  I've never been called a tiddler 😂

  3. VAR should only be used for penalty decisions.

    Offside should be the referee's call and VAR should not be used to determine if a player is offside by a finger nail.

    Blue cards are yet another complication added to the game.

    Football has survived fine for over 140 years and does not need any more stupid ideas being introduced

    Dejphon Chansiri, Alex Turner, Sid James, Walkley Owl, Carlton Palmer, Conehead John.  Stick the deal up yer arse. Looking forward to playing in a league one higher than you next season. Michael Smith will be useful to you in League 1.

    What a carry on!

    Move on
