He isnt...

Yes he has generally been very good, an outlet who can get us up the pitch. He was poor on Sunday (as was Fleck) he was tightly marked. Whether he will get more space playing away remains to be seen

Mixed feelings about Mo from me.

He has obvious qualities but his first touch is generally poor and his awareness off the ball is woeful. He gets run off for fun.

His final pass is often wayward

If that’s mixed feelings, I’d hate to hear you when you’re being negative

This is what Brentford think about him.

He had a bad game, that's all. Chance to move on from that tonight.

For context, Arsenal once spoke very highly of Tim Akinola

Agreed mate. I would however like to see Aurajo, Sparkes and Metcalfe all pulling on a town shirt again....not to mention Markandy!

I'm undecided on Pepple. Hes strong and holds the ball up well, but really needs to be more clinical. I'd probably have him back but only if we also sign another quality striker. As I don't think that just him and an aging (but still quality) Grigg would be enough and Madden can leave now for me!

If he was released by Brentford would you want us to sign him?

not for me wwe can do better. Love to see Pepple here, Cook wwill improve his all round game in pre season. Sparkes is a must sign, the icing on the cake would be Metcalfe, but now we haven't gone up, there is no chance of that.

Not it wasn't. You have zero credibility and even less football knowledge.

It wasn't a surprise that he started him given Mandy having to cover at right back, but he had a shocker and needed bringing off earlier than he was. Hes a one decent game in 5 merchant and we can definitely do better. He will end up somewhere like Maidstone or Maidenhead. Too lightweight and inconsistent.

You're so dim the chance of a fruitful conversation is zero.

I think it might be because he was crap on Sunday.

Says a lot that I honestly don’t even feel disappointed. There wasn’t a deal between the two teams; they were very good defensively, blocked everything and were clever with how they wasted time. I don’t think we played our best in either game but we didn’t disgrace ourselves. As I get older I realise football really is about moments. The Colclough chance in the first leg, the Naylor header, the Pepple header, then Pepple slipping when he was 7 yards out last night, their defenders making some very good blocks as we pushed on. If any of those chances or half chances go in it’s a different tie. Fair play to Warsaw, they did what they needed to do and they did it well and I think it’s fair to say Sadler has had Cook’s number this season. Obviously I’d rather be in their position than ours in terms of going to Wembley, but I genuinely would rather watch us play a style of football that means we keep hold of the ball. Defensive counter-attacking footy isn’t for me. I do like the 3-4-2-1 formation though.

Club is in good hands and I trust we’ll be making a bash for top 3 next season.

I’ve a feeling Everton will want Metcalfe playing in L1 next year

100 quid on us for top spot again? 😁

My youngest was devastated, (as 11 years old are when losing) - he took some calming down.

You've only got to look at what Stockport have done and we're sort of replicating that.

I wasn't really down about it last night - strange feeling really. We're still gonna have 23 home games and 23 away games next season but we're only going 1 way under the current leadership.

I remember us drawing with Dover 0-0 when they finished the season on about 9 points, being terrorised by Matty kosylo every time we played Altrincham, being bottom of the national league, the Joe Anyons, the Sam Muggletons, the Lee Shaws, the Jack McKays, and of course, the Michael 'fit as a butchers dog' Nelson - and it just makes me smile knowing how far we have come.

Obviously, my lad doesn't see this because this is his first full season (our Caleb get it though now he's a bit older).

Can't wait to see the retained list and the type of replacements that come in to take us on to the next stage.

I will be forever grateful for everyone involved that got us out of the national league
Here we go again!

You said he wasn’t a few posts up? Walton said he was garbage and you said he wasn’t?
