Has AB allready given a reason for letting Fenners and toner go? (did i miss something). Was it that they just don't figure in his long term plans or was there some kind of incident or comments made that forced his hand? |

Both are still at the club however and AB says that if they dont get any interest from other clubs he will welcome them back into the squad. |

Newey, you got a good left foot on you, so use it, don't just play the same ball fifteen times in a match, the floater over the top and down the wing, sorry but the guy gives a lot of possession away as defenders read it after the fifth time, Lets get behind the team this year guys, more noise, no negatives and we will go far if this defence works out for us, Come on you mighty Mariners...........make 08/09 a year to remember, and also as I have said before get David Ross on the Board as he seems to be taking an interest in the local area at the minute and so he should he can turn us into a Fulham, better than being a Bradford ayy Mr Ormandroyd  |

So hopefully we'll stop letting them in at one end...... So now for your next trick Alan, please bring us some great lads in to bang them in at the other end!........ And a ball winner in the middle wouldn't go a miss!! |

I am still concerned about other area's of the team though.To win promotion we will need goals in abundance & its allready evident that our current attack minded midfielders and strikers carn't give us a high enough goal ratio to achieve that. In an ideal world we would still be looking to sign another 4-5 new players - An experienced,quality utility man that can play a number of positions comfortably when were hurting through injuries - An experienced,quality playmaker that can play in the middle or on either wing - An experienced,quality attacking left winger with a great left foot,someone that heggerty and newey could learn a lot from - An experinced,quality 6ft+ tall scarey Targetman that knows where the goal is - And another striker,somebody similar "if not" michael boulding! If we added all of the above to what we allready have,we might just win this damn league. UTM!!! |
