Anyone know when Tomlin will return?

Anyone know when Tomlin will return?

February - maybe. He won't be out on the grass until mid January.

Thanks Jon. Hopefully he's kept himself trim.

Vassell

[Freitag 4.17]

Vassell

Who is Vassell?

[surge]

Who is Vassell?

Scored for Wrexham last night, didn't he?

Wilson was MotM and should be commended on being willing to run back to get a block in our own box and score a fantastic goal in the same game.

Gavin Whyte is with us until end of 2023 season so a long way to go with him yet. That first 20 minutes was the best we've seen of him though so hopefully Harris is building his confidence up and we'll see it more and more.

[Former Labour leader]

I wanted to add that the sooner Whyte is shipped out the better. Not up to this level. Hope Hoilett is back Saturday.

[Dave Blue]

No one has a better record than us over the latest 6 games. Judging by earlier reactions some people would have been happier with 1 win in 6 if we’d beaten the Jacks

True. The Jacks would definitely take 1 from 6 if it was us they beat.

[jon1959]

We've got to sort out this possession problem though. 55% is almost criminal! Can we please get back to 39% asap.

I'm sure that when an irregular contributor gets his way and Pack, Packs his Bags, then normal service will be resumed.

[LeningradCowboy]

If we're going to play Gavin Whyte, it should be in the same role as Mark Harris. He doesn't contribute anything playing on the wing.

We might as well play a kid. Whyte does nothing, he needs a fresh start somewhere else.

Especially crossing to Glatzel who’s less of a centre forward

Which is unfortunate for a winger.

[IanD]

Has Pack ever had a 'good one', seen him lots now and all he ever does is recieve the ball in acres of space, proceed to turn 360 degrees with the turing circle and speed of an oil tanker, then pass backwards - sideways if we're lucky and he panics.

That was one hell of a "back pass"! Get what you mean about backwards/sideways passes. Makes a change to see a decisive forward pass like that. More please Marlon.
3 points. Onwards and upwards.

It also depends on the movement up ahead. We're usually quite static.

I couldn't believe those comments myself and find it impossible to understand that way of thinking. It was even pointed out that by swapping our previous 4 wins for a win over the Jacks it could make the difference between staying up or relegation. But for some it mattered more that we beat our local rivals. Sheer lunacy !!

Watching that through ball again and if you look closely even though it goes forwards - Pack actually passes it sideways - if we can get him to face the sidelines and run sideways for the whole match then we might have a player. Like a crab. That's good at football.

He might just come out of his shell a bit.

A few clubs might be checking if he has a release claws in his contract.

They could have got him at a pinch prior to tonight - anyone after him now might have to visit a prawn broker to help raise funds - we've got an asset on our hands as long as he doesn't pull any mussels.

Nah, he's not up to scratch.

Surprised he passed on the ground. He usually lobster ball over the full back.
