He was best for us behind the strikers or even out wide - seemed a weird choice to replace Mullin, but not sure any real scouting went into his signing other than asking L2 clubs if they had any strikers available (Simpson at Carlisle reckons he was asked if he could spare a forward but didn’t...

Why wait to sign a free agent, who will be months out of practice and take weeks to get up to speed? It makes more sense to have a full squad to pick from who are all ready to step in when needed. Can’t understand the logic of leaving yourself short, just in case you get some injuries and need...

We wanted £250k off Bolton when they poached Evatt with two years left on his contract. Wild has four years left. Not sure their proceeds of crime can stretch to £500k+.

I heard the fee was ‘undisclosed’. From our experience, that is usually about £2.5k and some new training cones.

We’ll probably play a strong side as we’ve not got a game now til mid-September. Hope we don’t accidentally go and qualify for the next round again.

We’ve beaten Harrogate away, which means we must be getting promoted.

What did you spend the FA Cup millions on?

HIGHLY EXPERIENCED.

HIGHLY RATED.

Spectator reader doesn’t like change (or outsiders).

Don’t think we’ve ever won at Harrogate, think our record is five defeats and we’ve managed one draw. Hopefully their game midweek takes a bit out of them, and also hopefully someone nicks Luke Armstrong just before the window shuts.

What a c***. Sympathies to the bloke whose wall was destroyed.

Lump on Wrexham still. Stockport carved us open a dozen times but had no finishers - Wrexham won’t be as wasteful.

We’ve got three big lads up front, so that shouldn’t be a problem…

No idea where this one’s come from! Genuinely think this must be the Waters cash that we’ve kept back from last season. His wages have got to be double what anyone else is on in our squad. Massively impressed we’ve pulled this off.

Bickering over the obtrusiveness of police control rooms is this forum’s “jumping the shark” moment.

Was that when Pogba did his Superman dive?

Billy Waters hat-trick of tap-ins incoming.

It values our 36-year-old back-up keeper at more than we’ve ever even paid for a player.

To be honest, performances as bad as that have been few and far between. Normally that’s the rhetoric but we come away with a result or at least have a go - yesterday was just awful.
