Day 207

We’re expected to crush Tamworth in the league tomorrow. The bookies are giving us odds of 1-6 for a win. We beat them 2-0 in the reverse fixture, thanks to a goal from Barnes-Homer and a penalty from John Nutter. Tamworth spent most of that match with ten men, though, so I’d expect them to put up more of a fight this time.

We got an offer from Newport County for transfer-listed goalkeeper Joe Anyon. They put forward a private, non-negotiable bid of £500 plus 20% of his sell-on price. It’s less than I want, but seeing as we’re just a few days from the end of the transfer window I’m not in a position to play hard-ball. I accepted the bid, then lowered his asking price to roughly double their offer—in hopes that another club will swoop in and offer both Anyon and us more money.
