Well, **** me sideways - I'm depressed enough as it is having to sit in a hotel in (dirty ****) Leeds before attending a wedding tomorrow, but reading this site tonight has made me about ready to shoot myself.

Why, it's been no different all season.............. :}

Hargreaves latest tactic seems to be to sign players with ridiculous sounding names.

Goodness, only just seen we have signed this lad from Spurs. Whilst the conveyor belt of youth team forwards from Championship clubs has been a little disappointing, to say the least, I guess there are some grounds for optimism, seeing as he is from Tottenham. Yeovil have had some good forwards from Spurs on loan, in recent years and could he be the next Dean Sturridge for us.

Sadly, it is probably too late but by signing a forward and a left-back, at least Hargreaves is addressing the two weak areas.

It's just modern day Britain Brucie. Players with exotic sounding first names and British surnames are quite amusing actually. Pablo Mills springs to mind. Anyone got any others? I know there are a good few more but can't think of them at the minute.

could be a good signing, however it's too little too late!

Pleased with this. He must play. He will not adapt to Benyon's wavelength, as I doubt many well schooled players would. He could, however, benefit from Stockley knock downs. And as with any striker, he'll need service. That may be a problem. Will try and rearrange work tomorrow to get to Southend now.

We have to go for it. I'd go 3-1-4-2 to start, with an outfield as follows:-

.......O'Connor Pearce Downes.......
................Lathrope...............
.....Bodin Harding Craig Cameron......
...........Stockley Coulthirst.............

Nobody would come from Spurs to sit on the bench it's who plays with him that count I just hope it's Bodin.

I'd be moderately excited to see how that team performs. And that's far more excited than I have been at any other time since September.

How did he get on today?

Shak really wasn't on for long enough to have a real impact; liked what I saw of his attitude, & got into better potential scoring positions than our regular players. If he'd turned up even three games before now, I might have mustered a bit of excitement. Right now, having just got back from Southend (delayed leaving because Breedy was waiting to interview CH & he wouldn't come out ..considering the miles Breedy's put in this week following the team, I felt that was unfair),I think it's ' probably' too late.

After his performance against Bristol Rovers, he's in the Football League Team of the Week:

Mentioned on the official site yesterday.

Well done Shaq! Another and you'll soon be challenging Hawley for scoring honours!!
