happy new year everyone. if banks is out he will be a miss, we play at a better tempo when he is in the side but DJ comes in and i think we'll see a much stronger bench than in the last few games, MK were nothing special when we played them recently, we gave them a goal start and a man advantage, tomorrow (i mean today) we'll take em on with half a side missing again and will give it everything i'm sure.

There's no 'if' unfortunately.

Bank's definitely raised his game in adversity (too much perhaps) so lets hope Oldaker follows his example (not too much).

massive loss, when you watch back the 2024 goals, banks is involved so much.

With our injury crisis, Ollie has acted like a bit of a prat, we'll miss big style.

You were going to pick him to play in goal too

What do we know about the incident?
What made Banks react, if that's what he did?
What made the powers that be aware of the incident?

When you consider we received a letter of apology for Dunkleys sending off but he was still suspended for having the temerity of for being an innocent party in a refs cock up and then a ref doesn't act on someat the authorities do. The laws an ass.

Big can of worms opened here, perhaps a retrospective look at the last minute corner at Bradford might result in a few Bradford players in the dock.

They have been feeding Ollie too much red meet recently. He admitted he got warned by PC after he got in a kerfuffle against MK Dongs

I'm afraid no can of worms to be opened.

On the plus side the club have just tweeted players arriving at the ground and that includes mandarkay

[Westbars Spireite]

He does seem a bit angrier these days. But he was very placid, too much so, in his early days with us.

There wasn't any indication of a major incident whilst watching the game, did you spot owt on tv. Nobody appeared to die,which in the current climate is rare.
Isn't it possible we'll now see more of these retrospective punishments if the authorities are made aware (by whoever?) of possible occurances.


Edit.

I wonder if the powers that be want to employ a retired bloke, to forensically exam every EFL game played for such incidents

No it does not.

Mandarky is not even registered to play.

Markanday should be in the squad again though.

Apologies for the incorrect spelling. Fat fingers and small keys, a potent combination

Whatever the state of play, we should give the team whole hearted and beyond-the -call-of-duty support from the off.
The New Year might give us a fresh start with dodgy decisions disappearing. We need a pen and a cuople of sendings offfor them - not sporting comments but we're due a break.

That's another point all our 4 penalty takers are potentially out, pity we can't reincarnate Charlie Rackstraw

I think I remembered something being mentioned on the commentary but didn't seen anything and vaguely remember some handbags, perhaps the aftermath from the incident.

Can't remember retrospective punishment at this level last time we were in L2. Maybe there's more cameras around now to gather evidence. I assume Fleetwood complained and it found its way into the referee or the referee suspected something happened and looked at the footage. As non of us remembered the incident it is all guesswork.

Markandy should be there. He's on a season long loan

We just need to play like we did at Bradford. Ref shouldn't play a part
