    agree - Polworths distribution is awful at the moment.

    Carrol started poorly but improved as the game went on.
    Thought Carrol/ODonnell both among our better players yesterday together with Watt. 

    I was disappointed with O'Donnell yesterday by his standards. He provided a great outlet to receive the ball on the right but his crossing was appalling, particularly in the second half when he couldn't seem to get the ball past the first man. 

    As for Polworth, if we are relying on him to provide our inspiration then we are doomed.

      I'm pretty sure the BBC highlights started with the second half kick-off because there wasn't much for the neutral to enjoy in the first half.

    They did indeed. 

    I was at this game, went for a wee before kick off and took half an hour to get back to my mate behind the goals! 

    Also, such was the ill feeling from this game that every game between us for the next few seasons was guaranteed at least one red card.

    Cedric Kipre close to a move to Blackburn according to the Lancs Telegraph and, disappointingly for us, for what looks a bargain fee. 

    Rovers are close to reaching an agreement with the administrators at Wigan Athletic for central defender Cedric Kipre.

    The two clubs are understood to have reached a figure which works for both with regards to a transfer fee.

    It had been suggested that the cash-strapped Latics were holding out for more than £1m for the 23-year-old, but the Lancashire Telegraph understands that any such deal would cost Rovers six-figures.

    On Youtube and found myself clicking here when I saw the C&A...very talented dancers and what a band!!

    University of Southern California (UCLA Sucks!!)

     

    I'm sorry, where is the band? 

    Local to me are Fylde Rugby club in C&A and what is the Iran or Iraq team in C&A that even have a badge similar to us?

    Our penalty shoot out record is absolutely fucking abysmal.

    Just off the top of my head we've lost to St. Mirren, Stranraer, Ross County, Hamilton, Hibs, Alloa Athletic....

    The only one I actually remember us winning was when we won the cup.

    So I make 1-6 unless I've forgotten some.

    We beat Inverness CaleyThistle at Fir Park on pens in early John Boyle era. Finished that game with nine men, Billy Davies and Brian Martin sent off.

    You must like dirty hammer throwers too Geoff.

    Not particularly but he had a physicality our forwards don't have. None of our forwards seem to like playing with their back to goal.

    I think everyone would agree with that statement 

    But can anyone name a player like that who would be within our budget ????

    Only asking cause I’m sure the back room staff are looking for said person 

    I saw Jamie Reid of Torquay score his 17th league goal of the season on Saturday. Strong physical forward and excellent at holding up the ball and bringing players into the game. 25 years old and capped by Northern Ireland at Under 21 level. His recent goal record has probably put him on loads of teams radars.

    Just as he’s forced his way into the team and scoring, Louis Moult secures another start and gets subbed on 26 mins for an injury. Hopefully nothing too bad....he’s had nae luck at Preston 

    Looking at possible cruciate ligament so could be out for ages. 

    Meanwhile, in Division One, red card for ZFA playing at Wimbledon.

    Ooo what did he do? 

    He was manager of Nottingham Forest at the time and they didn't have a minutes silence before their match. 

    To quote him...Calderwood said: "there was nothing from the football league to us but i heard some talk of it just before kick off. I didn't particularly want to have a tribute. Sometimes I don't think its appropriate to have them for every tragedy that happens. Sometimes i think it needs to be a bit closer to home. The fact that it was a boy in Scotland, does that make it any different from a boy in Colombia?"

    Yet only five months earlier Forest had played against Motherwell in a pre-season friendly which O'Donnell played in.

    Took opportunity to go to Wembley on Sunday.

    ZFA was very tidy and played game within his limits. Fylde fans certainly rate him.

    Griffiths was unused sub.

    Clay. Got to admit I am a wee bit biased as I I felt he did ok for us without pulling up any trees. Watching him in this match and an earlier game this season at Hartlepool [ yup , I do need to get out more!] I can fully understand why he was voted player of the season by O`s fans. I felt he was the main creative force in the O`s team showing a greater level of freedom and confidence than he displayed for us.

    On a final point the Fylde fans must be best mannered fans I have ever encountered. Even when under the cosh I never hear heard one swear word or a profanity. The most animated comment was to describe a referee decision as " Rubbish". It will never catch on you know!

    ZFA has been very consistent since arriving at Mill Farm, been played more defensively this year. Due to the early injury played on the left of the back three but much better as left back or wing back. A much better player than when he left us. 

    I expect Griffiths to become first choice as current goalie Jay Lynch is out of contract and has quite a few clubs after him.

    I have been impressed with Clay when I have seen him this season.

    The Fylde fanbase is a curious thing. With so many local teams (Blackpool, Preston and Fleetwood all within ten miles) they seem to attract the older generation, the much younger generation and family groups. Swearing does exist but is nowhere near the grand scale we get at Fir Park and other Scottish grounds.

  20. Agent Fees

    So the vast amounts of money pumped into AFC Fylde by their owner David Haythornthwaite, with the stated objective of achieving Football League status, doesn't count as buying promotion?  Pot and kettle!

    Touche although the vast majority of his money has been spent on infrastructure, new ground, training ground, land to be leased out and built on. Basically stuff he can get a return on. There is a strict limit on players wages and still a strong reliance on loan players. Better that than throwing 5k a week at Adam Rooney etc. 

  21. Agent Fees

    Our agents fees sum was also bettered by 17 clubs at National League level and below, predictably Salford with a mindblowing £76,338 top that list. Hoping my local team AFC Fylde (£10,820 in fees) can derail their attempt to buy promotion on Saturday.
