Has he been around the first team squad in training?

Well I did hear Radio Nottingham commentary with Dave and Stall but sorry to disappoint you but I watched the game on TV. Got instant slow motion replays of key bits of action. Technology eh?That means I had a better view than the away fans low down at one end of the ground or worst still a restricted view. Gotta be careful where you sit and stand in that away end as I know from past visits.

But anybody who could only listen on the radio doesn?t need to see the game to know that your Carthorse has scored 14 goals this season and trust me the radio commentary told all listeners exactly how good that finish was from McGoldrick

It was a great finish Rolf, even better from the stands..

Re-reading the rules I think this is ever, not this season. So then he would count and we can't do an emergency loan. Oops.

As I said earlier we'll need to sign a free agent or just go with Slocombe for however long Bass is out. Hopefully that won't be long but given our luck I'll expect him back in about November.

I believe so but can't say for sure. Think I've seen him in some of the training videos though.

With Didzy back and AJ up front getting it forward earlier could work as we saw last night.

I?d say Slocombe is comfortable with the ball at his feet. It?s us fans that aren?t comfortable with Slocombe having the ball at his feet.

Which one the finish from our top scorer or the one from the carthorse. Lucky both were at that end.

Sounds like you?ve had a few too many restricted views this season to state he should be put out to graze. That could well be the comment of the season

I thought the same as BigFatPie regarding going more direct from Slocombe especially on any ploughed fields we have to play on like last night. What we will miss the most from Bass is his ability to come out for crosses he dominates his box far more than Slocombe and many other keepers I?ve seen at Notts
