Dear Leam

Could do worse than trying to persuade Carlisle and Linney into a January move.

They will expect a fee to be paid. Uncle Bob has stated ad nauseam that he simply doesn’t believe in paying fees for players. The concept is alien to him. Didn’t do it at Wycombe, and that policy brought massive growth and achievement.

I mean, this just isn’t true.

We paid a fee for Lane. We may have paid a fee for Marriott.

Couhig said to expect most signings to be frees and loans, not we wouldn't pay any fees. It's abject nonsense to say Wycombe never spent a fee signing anyone in his time there.

Im not sure I would be quite so certain after looking I think I can see 2 or 3 non disclosed potential fees….??

Yes, most might be loans, frees etc, no issues there (so long as your scouting and management side are quick off the mark every window) but surely you wouldn’t walk away if there’s a sound deal that could be done for a player that suits the manager’s requirements down to the ground when the whole point is trying to progress the club?

If you're a good owner, you absolutely walk away from deals you think are poor value even if you think the player is good.

Otherwise you just get held to ransom on any deal.

Of course but not if you can negotiate a sound affordable deal.

Controversial opinion incoming...

Love the goals.....

But Wing as Captain?....

Can't say I'm feeling it TBH...

That kind of collapse shouldn't be acceptable....

I vote Derek...

is that a Ricky Gervais reference?

But when has that happened?

[Forbury Lion]

I hope he does...Wing told a local journo on Thurs that things had got too comfortable.

I heard it was Wing who went to the board and said things need to change, this was after the bust up in the tunnel between Lane and Hunt.

If it was, it was unintentional...

I meant Derrick, I just can't spell it seems...

I've seen reference to a bust up between Hunt and Lane a few times.

We aren't saying it's a bad thing for a manager to robustly feed back to a player how unacceptable a performance it is to miss what pretty much amounts to 3 open goals in 2 games, which had a pretty huge impact on both results? Shirley?

1 of those was actually a pretty good save i thought, obvs the other 2 were v poor

It’s difficult to know really - I’m not sure it helps greatly bollocking someone for that if it is what is was about

Not following instructions, lack of effort, lack of discipline- that’d be things that would deserve a hairdrier. Maybe it was for something like that though, who knows

Doing it in public is probably not a good thing. However, Hunt said on quite a few occasions that he didn't believe in bollocking or dropping players for mistakes but rather to try to build up their confidence, so I wonder how true the rumours are.

I'll admit I followed online without watching, but there can be no excuses for failing to see it out from 2-0 in the 90th minute. Head to the corner, waste time, take a yellow card for fouls on the halfway line. Do whatever it takes to make sure you finish the job. That's true in L1, let alone against NL opposition.

Same boat as you, but Carlisle are in great form and Linney has 11 goals in 16 starts, 24 last season. Reportedly could have moved to a higher club in the summer, but Hughes convinced him to stay.

That's some finisher. And our backline was the increasingly inadequate Stickland, and the guy Cambridge fans warned me regularly throws the ball in his own net.

90 minutes were solid.

Could do worse than trying to persuade Carlisle and Linney into a January move.

Not going to be at all cheap based on what I've seen Carlisle fans say. They apparently don't need the money either.

Also they say he and Chris Conn-Clarke are great mates and want to stick together, so you probably need to go for both (Conn-Clarke from Peterborough as he is on loan at CUFC). Would probably be a bloody good double signing, if only we could afford it!

Sure you can believe in that approach. But I imagine it's quite hard to stick to when you know someone else's mistakes have probably just sealed your fate and cost you a job.

I'm sure Dellor said there was a bust up in the tunnel without mentioning names so sounds like something happened.

Managers/coaches select the players that make mistakes. As I said, I'm not sure how much credibility to attach to the rumour given Noel's character and normal approach. He's not from the PInce school of people management! Also, I'm pretty sure he previously spoke out in support of Paddy Lane after a miss.

And, as much as Noel was a hero as a player for us, I suspect we could trawl back through footage and see a few howlers from him too!

'Tim Dellor said' - that says it all to me!
