What will happen with LMH's loan deal now that football below our level will seemingly stop for a month? Will it be delayed until Runcorn Linnets' level resumes? He was on the bench for us today. His loan deal doesn't start till Monday

In my view this season is extremely important for him because after his excellent pre-season he deserves a run of games in our side, let alone Runcorn Linnets. For the time being though I do believe this is a sensible move for Lloyd, as Calum McIntyre knows him inside out and will be desperate to give him plenty of game time, otherwise there isn’t really too much point in this move. He has already put in a few eye-catching performances for us against sides in Runcorn’s league, so he should easily walk into their side and hold his own. Lloyd is probably our most exciting current talent who, given time, has the ability to be our next big earner. Hopefully this loan move will work out really well for him, and if so I’d love us to give him more chances in our side as he’s already shown what he can be capable of. Good luck Lloyd! I rate both Marsh Hughes and Will Goodwin. Both have massive potential and they both need game tume. Goodwin I saw recently against Atherton Colleries and he really looked the part. He scored a cracking goal from outside the box, and put in a MOM performance but got injured late on challenging the keeper, in a 50/50.Not sure how long he is out for? I rate him and Joe Malkin from Nantwich Town , as the 2 beat atrikers, in that league, which is one down from us. I know for a fact Nantwich want decent money for Malkin. He was on trial at Crewe, but not sure they wanted to part with it? I was speaking to a scout at the Atherton game, who was monitoring Goodwins progress. We know Marsh Hughes is quality and he will do good at Runcorn. Callum is doing an excellent job there, they are unbeaten and scoring lots of goals . So, it is a perfect fit. Crilly, Tom Ruffee, Downes, Murray are all getting plenty of game time To, conclude, the first time I saw Marsh Hughes and Goodwin, I said I could see the pair of them playing up from for us , in the Conference. The reason, along with Burke, is that they have the physicality required

Curzon Ashton sign defender Jacob Hanson. Hanson was placed on the transfer list in July, but will now move for free after Halifax agreed to cancel his contract. Southport sign Boston forward Jordan Archer for an undisclosed fee, Southport recently sold forward Jack Samson to Fylde. Boston complete the loan signing of Harrogate winger Joe Leesley.

Gloucester manager in talks to join Chesterfield, Gloucester are not happy
There twitter this morning: We can confirm that James Rowe is currently in talks with Chesterfield and will be making no further comment at this stage.
Can’t argue with the opportunity, EFL ground, still average 3,600 despite the drop within the last 10 years.

Our squad is utterly pathetic and we are in a mess. It worries me that Gloucester have had ££££'s thrown at them this season as he won't get that in North Derbyshire. On the flip side, I like the idea of looking at a young, up and coming manager.

Maybe he hasn't got the best out of the players he has? I'd argue he hasn't been tested yet.

Wonder who the other candidate was. Danny Cowley is still floating around, and was linked with Tranmere, but he is probably holding out for a league team (which he will get).

As soon as they couldn't buy their way any further, lost his job. Didn't last long at Huddersfield. Managers who are doing well, get offered better jobs. Mostly fail, and then keep moving around the same level. Success is usually based around their budget. More money you have, the more likelihood of having/getting better players.

Danny Cowley certainly never “lost his job” at Lincoln. He left them while high up the L1 table to move to Huddersfield.

Probably impossible to get accurate playing budgets but would be a fascinating (for me anyway) exercise to list them from top to bottom in our league and see how many managers/clubs actually punch significantly above their weight.

More money you have, the more likelihood of having/getting better players. Bit of a harsh view on Cowley I'd say. He took a load of Braintree players on peanuts with him to Lincoln and even Matt Rhead was a Mansfield reject who couldn't hit a barn door at the time. Had the cup run and crowds went up from 2,000ish a week to nearly 9,000 a week.
Huddersfield signed him from Lincoln just before midway through the season when they were stuggling and he kept them safe and had a decent record. I think they got rid becuase the style of football wasn't great, although when you come in to save someone with an inherited squad I'm not sure how much of a concern how pretty the style is.

Maybe. I was just using him as an example of someone who's name gets mentioned for every job for a while. Then goes quiet. Bit like Karl Robinson when he was at MK. We won't really know until he gets another job or two. Depending on the jobs, of course. Because of his preferred style of play, he's more likely to get recovery jobs than not. So he needs to h ave immediate impact. Sustaining it maybe the problem. Style of play is a real concern for most supporters these days. Even if most of it is perceived. Look at the hoofball comments for us. His original bunch of players did really well for him. Can he do that with other players at other clubs?

I was looking at this last night, it's crazy at how quick they've transitioned. We we're averaging more than them in the 13/14 season. Who knew one excellent FA Cup run could gather the City to increase their average attendance to Championship level in just a few years. They're holding their own in League One too sitting 3rd.

The cup run glossed over their poor league form. If it wasn't for the cup run last season he'd have been gone ages ago. I work with a Shrewsbury fan who said it was dire to watch, very little creativity but good defensively so most games would be won 1-0 or lost 0-1. Once that balance swings to more defeats then it doesn't really justify a poor style of play. They haven't had anyone who can score goals for a while. He has also been pretty well backed since the cup run, they've got Marc Pugh and Charlie Daniels on the books who were Premier League players last season. I think they tolerated it last season because really you can't grumble too much when a club their size is mid table in League One, but once they sunk into a relegation battle this year then it was obvious a change was needed to freshen it up. I had a fiver with my Shrews mate at the start of the season that they'd go down, so I'm pretty gutted Ricketts has gone!
