It’s fast becoming a must win, lose it and Cambridge and I think it will force KTs hand.
Personally I’d give JOn the window, it causes too much disruption otherwise.
I happen to think we could do with a replacement for Guthrie who now appears to be injury prone! Or at least a good back up. |

So he can sign another Yengi, DWP, Eppiah, Simpson, Hlyton, Harrop, Kabamba, Connolly, Flores type player? Or are we thinking of bolstering the defence and getting someone like Mcglorie, Raven, Monthe or Haynes in? |

You can’t cherry pick the failures to suit your argument. He has had some good recruitment also. |

Was have/did...Headed by CC who's since left... Not really worked imo looking at the signings... Just bin it & get a proper head of recruitment like we did with Foyle... Ironic that we'd all now rather have Kabamba over Simpson! |

To be fair, isn't the giraffe aka Yengi now playing for Pompey? |

It's his brother Kusini Yengi who they signed from Western Sydney Wanderers in the summer. I said at the time we signed Tete we had signed the wrong brother, although I doubt we could have signed Kusini who looked good for WSW. |

Guthrie?
Lee Burge?
Leonard?
Appere?
Sherring?
I’m no Brady apologist for what it is worth, I don’t think he’s great - just in the fairness of balance both sides should be presented. I’m struggling to think of a manager who had a fantastic recruitment record with Cobblers, even Wilder signed some duds.

Was about to say exactly that...though he more or less did to Nuneaton Borough what the Spanish did to the Aztecs!  No, I don't include Rambo Reed from Frickley Athletic as Carr's gold bullion!  |

Completely agree with Sherring and Guthrie. Appere not overly fussed but runs around a lot which is a lot more than Simpson. Burge terrible at the simple things of late but often pulls off the unexpected to salvage his reputation. Leonard isn’t ours. You’ve identified 5 ‘good’ recruits in nearly 3 years which speaks volumes. |

Interesting name! Spectacle Lane, wasn’t that a track off a Springsteen album… or was it Dire Straits? |
