    Brin I understand your point but I don't agree. It is his agents job to look after Hugills not Evans, the football world will know all about Hugill and won't make a decision based on whether he scores a couple of goals for us, it will be a much more rounded view and also with a huge amount of discussion with his agent and the player if allowed.

    As for Osong he has played one game and scored, how many goals has Holmes or Hungbo scored? The lad comes from a highly rated academy and is very well thought of, he is a young man away from his parent club, such players need to be managed differently to get the best out of them. We have an awful track record of dealing with young loaned players. This is a big issue, when you damage the relationship with these academies and clubs that reduces your options going forward, do you think Arsenal will send us another player after the Norton-Cuffy situation.

    Evans job is to win football matches, at the moment we have lost more than we have won, we have 14 points from 12 games that is 54 points over a season which in the last 4 years would have been 17th, 16th, 16th, 17th. Do you think that will be seen as success by TS this season, especially as Evans has told us we will be challenging for promotion? We have seen nothing from Hugill in a season and a quarter that makes him worth a shirt, the fake head/leg injury yesterday was the last straw.

    Cayton says Osong sits on his own, why? The club captain is sat behind him, why isn't he taking the lad under his arm and getting him to sit with them, why is it the lads fault? Now he might get 3 or 4 games or good run outs and fail, but he deserves the chance and not to be judged on 5 minutes here and 1 minute at Peterborough. I am sorry for sticking up for the lad, but history shows us that the issue with young players is the club and not the players.

    Did anyone see Hungbo and Bramall have a go with each other? Bramall got in his way to put a cross in in injury time, Hungbo was having a right go at him and had to be separated by other players.............

    I'm no expert but I've mentioned it before, could it be that jch and hugebill have it written into their contacts that they play a certain number of games

    I should hope not. No club should ever sign any player on those terms.

    The early goal affected the game so much. Wrexham seemed happy to sit back, and we had no choice but to go for it. We had 89 minutes and 45 seconds left to score, and we didn't even produce a clear chance. The best we could have hoped for was a 0-0 I'm afraid with this setup.
    We all keep saying we should be higher up the league, but it's not happening. Will be be still saying this with six games to go?

    It happens at higher levels, see no reason Hugill wouldn't have had this written in - we seemed to concede a lot to get him. It didn't look like Hugill was getting on yesterday, surprised he didn't start and given the lack of threat in the box I'm more surprised Evans didn't throw him on... maybe Evans is starting to see what many others do.

    Yes so do I but unfortunately we have signed plenty of players lately that we shouldn't have

    I saw this - it was just in front of me. However, I thought it was Bramhall giving Hungbo a hard time for not slipping the ball towards the goal-line for Bramhall to run on to. After the altercation, it looked as if Hungbo was a bit teary!

    Evans said post match that JCH would be out for a few weeks. If that's the case and if Osong isn't in Evans' plans, should we be playing a wild card up front to try and increase our goal threat? How about giving Haks a chance? If Kelly is back in midfield, Haks will probably drop to the bench so it might be worth a try. Teams have done it before and sometimes a gem is uncovered. Let's face it, he couldn't be any worse than Hugebill.

    Unfortunately smacks of desperation to me .If we haven't recruited properly it needs sorting out
