Signing of Holman,by Horne allegedly,hurt Wilkin's pride.However he was stupid to leave him on bench as Bishop was useless that season and contributed significantly with the dissenters (Keates & Ashton allegedly) to our poor league position and his sacking.

The fact we didn't play Holman, Moult, and Jennings together shows how poor Wilkin was as a manager. Utterly incapable of compromise or flexibility when practically every other manager at this level would have killed for at least one player of that calibre never mind three. They had the potential to be the trio to carry us out of the league but he persisted with his dull, one-dimensional tactics and boring, predictable players because they were his.

Be interesting to see if there are any interesting faces in the Directors Box today.

Talking of Moulty, only played 36 games in 3 years with PNE and still only 28.

Seen a few tweets from him recently congratulating us on the takeover, he seems genuinely excited by it.

The only player I'd have back of the last 5 years or so.

Could we tempt him back if he's only averaging 12 games a season with Preston ?

He'd be a revelation here after a few years at a higher level.

Wishful thinking but you gotta have a dream

It's a damn shame if he's crocked. Would be in my Wrexham non league XI for sure

Big injury and tough to come back from as good as before

I think it is worse than that for LM, I read somewhere he had his whole knee restructured and PNE were not putting any pressure on him return despite being out so long.
