No, nothing about Vadaine's performance suggested we give him another try.

I posted a long letter, which was mysteriously rejected. So another try, but a telegram this time.

Green, not at all special when I've seen him, esp. on Saturday. These desperate lunges will get him sent off before long.

So why not an attempt to sign Gary Roberts 2 from Wigan? He may not hate us as much as when he was with us on loan, and seems unlikely to turn out much in the Championship. Wages, though could be a stumbling block.

And what about Gary Roberts 1? Ludicrous, you'll say, and I know all the reasons why not, but it's said that Kevin Davies, at Southport, has turned the man's life round. A lot younger than Green, and he used to be tough and creative in midfield, qualities we are currently lacking.

A lower-hanging fruit could be Greg Leigh. Two years at Bury, latterly under the arrogant Lowe, might make him fancy a change. What's more, he could be affordable.
