I got to know Judgey through arrangements for the last game at the Manor. One of my dad’s mates was introduced on the pitch (Alan Willey). What an absolutely superb guy!

It was an absolute travesty he had to play for us again (when owners lose any interest ahem). But he put up a great show.

You’re a Zelig-like figure

Zelig is a great concept.

He sure pops up everywhere, but zelig people also agree and blend in with the opinions of those around them. We're talking about Kip here...

Emi Martinez off to Chelsea.

Good move for both parties - and means I can still have an ex Yellow (just) in my FPL squad lol

Jamie Donley signed for a season at Luton Town

That's a strange one. You would have thought he would get a championship gig

Super player in this league. Fancy Luton to have a decent season.

I think Luton will be one of the 3 sides to go up this season along with Sheff Wed and 1 other.

Had them and Plymouth down as my 3 to go up.

Will Vaulks got an assist today and was arguably man of the match as Tranmere got a draw at Newport.

Tom Bradshaw misses for Rotherham with a very tame penalty v Chesterfield.

Kane Hemmings has signed for Altrincham in the National League.

Will Vaulks got an assist today and was arguably man of the match as Tranmere got a draw at Newport.

Said assist was Vaulks literally lugging a throw-in for someone to tap in.

I'll leave you all to decide if that was Championship football inexplicably being performed at Rodney Parade in 2026...

Our former loan striker isn't Mr popular at wigan

Great start for Donley at Luton, losing 5-1 to Mansfield.

And his sub replacement was Luke Harris.

The Ref was trigger happy with his yellow card in the game. And it wasn't a high quality game.

Looks like we were right not to offer him the 3 year deal that he wanted.

16 games last season and already an.injury plagued season.
A teriffic player but over his career has averaged around 25 league games per season.

Yes we’d have to pay him all through our third season in the championship

 

[Steve Gilbert]

I'm not sure his 16 games and 0 goals would have made a massive difference to us staying up last season.

He missed 30 games last season. Murphy was very good but very likely we would have gone down with him due to injuries

 

[SteMerritt]

Did he not provide any assists then? The very area we were lacking last season?

Would say ten good performances by Josh Murphy not have helped us get five extra points? Beat Portsmouth on the first day, draw at Wrexham and Charlton?

He wasn't good every game.
Who knows? I would have thought it unlikely we would have stayed up with him only playing 16 games ( 8 away games when we would have had very little of the ball)
Guess we will never know.

His Mrs will be pleased if they can live near Oxford!

 

[Marked Ox]

If it happens then pleased for him getting a new club.

A good chance to link up again with Elliott Moore
