“Hopefully, there's a little bit of good news in that regard with a few of the lads that have been out that perhaps might be available to us and assess the lads from today - Joe, Pat and Omar, whether they can play any part. But it’s unlikely, when you've come off on a Monday through injury, to be able to go again on Saturday. That's a quick turnaround. So, I don't know. I don't know the answer to that.”

Time to start the journey back to Cornwall…

I wonder if we've got any decent under 12 CBs at the club...

Bit unfortunate that the three subs "windows" don't account for genuine injuries like ours yesterday, but I guess if this sort of thing was introduced there would be scope for abusing it.

Just read JJ's interview on the OS. All sounds a bit bleak!

Anyone seen the Elephant man on the far left of the OTD game at Yeovil?

I could see Oxford if they drop to League 1 putting JJ on their list of replacements for Matt Bloomfield, not so sure if Pompey would do the same though

OI - Tony has a soft spot for us as a club, and been to many games at KM and Plough Lane. Was even at one of the Play Off Finals too doing his media bit, but with a large bias in our direction.

Ardley is available ;)

Genuinely not sure who we’d have available to us.

dont see what has changed in Nolan’s life or ours in the last 7 years that he’d suddenly want the job.

Kevin Nolan available

6 games ago we were sitting pretty, then 1 point and 4 of the 6 games without a goal, 8 players injured., going to be tough to get anymore points.. Exeter might get a draw at Plymouth, (local derby's anything can happen) point at Burton and will probably beat Bradford home last game as Bradford will have confirmed a play off place and will be resting players.

Steve Mac how was your jersey game?

Nutter but admirable [Link]

“Interesting” thing about our squad. In league one you can have a maximum of 22 outfield players aged 21 and over. We’ve only had 17. And one of those is recovering from a heart attack. At the start of yesterday’s game (and for a while now), we could just fill a first team starting 11 from the 21s and over. By the end, even if we played both keepers (one outfield), we can’t field a first team from 21&+ players.

Plus, in theory, Exeter only need four points to overtake us due to the six-goal swing in GD yesterday. Thank Luton for having mercy on us and turning the last 10 minutes into a training exercise.

Morning all. Really strange situation in that we only need one game to be safe, and that could be Saturday. But with the injuries I see Wigan, Blackpool, and Burton all overtaking us by the end of the season. Exeter have a goalscorer which makes all the difference in the run-in and they are probably looking at us and Doncaster as teams to catch.

Had an interesting chat after the match yesterday about Jackson. If we go down I’d absolutely expect someone to come in for him. But anyone looking at where we’ve been when we’ve had our first choice players would pay attention. I’d wonder if one of the sides looking for play offs with the money/squad they have, who don’t make that, would take a punt on him for next season.

Thanks to WUP and WUPpers for always being there. Lang may its lum reek

HB RP. Sadly (or maybe thankfully) my birthday isn't during the football season. I have the delight of various World Cup group matches on my birthday this year which don't include England so I won't be watching. England and Scotland matches only for me.

I raise my healthy dram of Jura to your health.

Cheers Trigger. Settled in now with a bottle of Aberfeldy 12 year old :)

Lol @ RP. Happy birthday.

Mark if there was a way to have done it we probably would. Jackson and Cope aren’t on a pisstake here. I know you’re doing the internet thing of arguing your point regardless but we didn’t have anyone else that met the criteria. Him and Orsi would have been the ones we could do a deal on to make the money free. Outside of those 2 all the players with experience to be marketable and a salary worth cutting were higher up the pecking order.
