Day 158

As expected, we didn’t get any offers for Watson, Pacquette, Rodney, Lloyd-McGoldrick, or Sinclair. I don’t know what I’m going to do with them. They’re such deadweights being in the squad, but it’s better to have them as backups in the event of a horrendous injury crisis than to cop it on the chin and pay out their contracts (i.e., release them).

We’re clear favourites for tomorrow’s FA Trophy First Round clash with Blue Square Bet North side Gainsborough. I’m expecting us to destroy them.

Michael Richardson is reportedly a transfer target for League 2 side Accrington. I sure hope they don’t get him; he’s been a revelation for us on loan from Newcastle, and I’d hate to miss out on the young central midfielder.

In other news, we lost Mark Halstead today. His loan deal from Blackpool expired, so we’re back to playing Anyon in goal—flying by the seat of our pants with no decent second choice keeper.
