Backing Gary Caldwell, thanks Matt and good luck.
Tisdale reckoned Baldwin was on course for tail end of the season but said being fit enough to play could take longer. Not convinced we will see him in a city shirt again but hopefully he will make it.

Tisdale expecting nobody coming in or going out - according to the Echo.

I'm so shocked.

We need more than just a centre back. We need at least one full back who knows how to defend too, plus probably a midfielder, a striker and a keeper.

And some fans that are not so bloody negative...this is div 2, in case you hadn't noticed on a Saturday :D

And? We leak goals like a bloody sieve. Other teams in our division have a better defence than us so we should aim to be up there with the best in the division. As has been pointed out regularly, our home form is probably as bad as any other professional club in the ountry, let alone League Two, so something needs to be done if we're to improve.

Our midfield is aging rapidly with no-one under 30 doing anything to either drive the club forward or dominate games. Other teams in our division have such players, why can't we?

Up front poor old Tom Nichols is fighting a lonely battle trying to score goals on his own. His strike partners are neither helping or contributing. There are many teams that have both established and successful strike pairings so why can't we? Our pairings for the last three or four seasons have been distinctly lacking, why can't we have another Rowbotham and Neville? Because we're content to make do with Cummins and Morrison.

There's no real reason why we can't be one of the top League Two sides this season, yet you're content with us being also rans. If anyone's a negative fan it's you.

17 conceaded in 8 games

8 conceaded in the last 4 home games

We're not good enough to score 3 every game so a centre half to sure it up

Spot on earlier on in the season it soon became obvious that we would always need to score at least one goal to secure any points now it is beginning to look like we need to score two and at least three if we are going to pay out any win bonuses and as you say Credy that just ain't feasible.
