Young Harris ran his socks off in both the games i witnessed never gave up and he did this with virtually no support !

Certainly did on Tuesday (I wasn't there Saturday). Cooper said he wanted young, hungry players; they definitely won't get old and corpulent on the scraps and crumbs they're being fed at the moment.
Don't let the old man in.

I thought he had a good game, made himself available but being on his own as soon as he had the ball two defenders were upon him

I totally agree and it's no wonder we play better away than at home when you hear all the morons slagging our players off no wonder they get disheartened hearing that every game

Absolute rubbish if you were there the other night the fans tried to encourage the team everytime they went forward it was only after the second goal that people weren`t happy !

Hasn't done much since 2017 though, so it's a slight gamble but one that was needed from their perspective.

We’ve gambled on kids who’ve never played senior football and it shows already………poor lads thrown into a dog fight who have never sampled this level. Stinks if you ask me.

Omar Bogle would have been a great boost for us. If he was available surely we would have shown an interest. If not why not? He has strength, presence, power. He would have been that big experienced striker we have missed

Bradford and Colchester have also both signed big experienced strikers the last couple of days

Rochdale also signed Wokings top scorer and Darlingtons top scorer this last week or so……

Very poor window for us this……expecting so much more.

If we don`t sign another forward before the window closes and Harris/Wakeling go the next 5 games without a goal, will copper go back to Sea and James and drop the 2 loan strikers, but we could also win games without them scoring.
