We'll be out of the play-offs in a few weeks. One striker and a useless idiot as manager will see to that. Can any really see us getting more than a few point off the big games coming up. You can expect uber-negative tactics from keates - desperate for a point at any cost, which will no doubt result in a fair few defeats. Season over, such a shame when a few players coming good could have meant promotion. Unfortunately, poor management and terrible tactics have screwed up the season once again.

Those are fair points, the Keates bashers are out though because when something does go wrong Keates then puts Durrell on instead of Jarvis and then we lump long balls up to Dior and a 5'6" attacking midfielder . Massive gaps between defence and attack and a complete loss of shape that wasn't rectified at half time.

It's not like this is the first time Keates has proven himself tactically inept either so if anyone wants a moan about Keates they get a free hit from me because I'll be lining up to have a moan too.

But Yussuf was on loan to us from Blackpool...It has not happened last minute!

Bring in the new manager now,few games until end of season then a fresh start.

A good start where we looked very lively but as the game went on the eventual result was going to be obvious, we have a weak squad which is devoid of any quality going forward against the better side and 2 very poor wing backs who’re eventually as poor going forward as they’re defending.

Keates out

To be fair we were awesome for 20 minutes and the better side even after Ponticelli went off, creating more chances than Notts Co for the rest of the game.

But it was hard work and we are carrying too many passengers - the wing backs don’t quite do enough winging, Jordan Davies is anonymous every time he plays (massively overated), Durrell needs shipping out, and Angus is a bit of a flippity gibbet.

Wasn't it about 6 hours before the end of the transfer window that the call came in? I'd call that last minute. We had to leave him at the motorway services!

It appears that, not only can't we sign players from the English pyramid as we are Welsh, but we can't recall from the Welsh league as it is not in their transfer window.


I don't know, however, if Caernarfon can cancel the loan of their own volition, but, frankly, what would be in it for them?

£5k would probably do it
