in General Charlton
All 4 players: morrison who has lost his place, Wiggins who has not quite got back to his best yet, Solly who we have to manage his knee and our skip JJ in the heart of our midfield are coming under pressure for their places. A part of me finds this quite sad but for the future of our great club we need competition and may the best man win his place on merit. I still think all 4 have a big part in our future, plus keeping JJ in a coaching role in a year or two.

    Could never imagine how important a 6 inch tap-in could be. !

    Stayed overnight in Carlisle, and went to Hadrians Wall the next day.

    Not surprising is it?

    We got promoted, and the club needs to move on to survive in a higher division...

    Surely gotta include Damien Matthews and Ben Roberts?

    I don't mind so much. I loved that league 1 winning side, hoped that they would step up to the championship plate, had high hopes for guys like Danny Green etc. But at the end of the day due to our financial circumstances our league 1 winners effectively had two years to step up to the mark and we are now left with those who are genuinely championship quality. We are now watching players who are a standard (sorry) above and if guys like Wilson, Solly, JJ , wiggy and Morro can hang in there then I'm pleased. If they can't, they can't.

    And some players like Hamer and Stephens chose not to stay and move on elsewhere.
    I like the mix of the first 18 Bob Peeters is putting out every week... seven new signings (Buyens, Vetokele, Gudmundson, Bikey, Ben Haim, Tucudean, Henderson), six from the academy(Cousins, Harriott, Fox, Gomez etc.) and a few older players from League 1 squad and signed later.
    That's all(!) it has taken to transform us from a bottom six side into top half although way too early to tell where in the top half.
