    One nagging thought that occurred to me just after the match: Crnac was straight in, played 88 minutes, & looked to be more of a striker than anything else to me. Am I just being paranoid  or.........  ??

    Crnac's arrival ahead of Sargent's potential departure is how I see it Ron! If Sargent stays, we'll be strong. If he goes, we have a ready-made replacement.

    Throwup has no clue what he is talking about and comes across as painfully weak.

    Since when does anyone in football have it tough in comparison to Joe Nobody?

    It is now too late for Rowe to publicly apologise. He needed to do it immediately. 

    He thinks he is bigger than the club and must be punished harshly.

    Modern-day 'Empathetic Leadership' in action - it gets my support Vince...

    Oh and it wasn't anything to do with attitude. Or, at least, that isn't what is reported. I mean, I appreciate that they wouldn't out a player for being a pr1ck. 

    They said they found an issue with one of his knees. Didn't fail the medical but it was considered too much of a risk. 

    Maybe they found his brain located in his knee?

    Yildirim Surname Meaning Turkish (Yıldırım): ornamental name or nickname from yıldırım 'lightning thunderbolt' figuratively 'speedy'. Yıldırım is just behind the five most common surnames in Turkey.
     
    'Bert Lightning' it is then!

    What Fabrizio Romano said about possible Rowe transfer to Leeds below:

    “Yeah, he's [Rowe] a possibility. It's true that his name is one of the ones they are considering internally. At the moment, I'm told that still nothing is close to being done, but it's a concrete possibility. For sure, they will replace Summerville.

    “They are assessing all the options, but I think Leeds will be quite fast on this one, also because they made good money with Summerville and also with Archie Gray, so they have some money to invest, and they will surely do that.”

     Not too much of a note in this unless they come up significantly on any verbal offer which was made, which is to believed to be in the region of £7m, where clearly we would be asking for much more. I hope he stays this window.

    "...it's a concrete possibility!" - journalism at its finest!

    I'm not surprised Gibraltar have complained! Political chanting by Spanish players whilst the eyes of the world are watching represents an opportunist cheap shot to me. I have family living & working on the Rock; after 38 years there, my Norwich-born brother & his family are now Gibraltarian citizens & I get to hear a fair bit about the border shenanigans. Thankfully, he's pretty laid-back about it all. Unlike some of the Spanish folk!

    Where has it been reported that Lotus may withdraw their sponsorship? MD Matt Windle sounded pretty buoyant about the NCFC/Lotus marketing alignment when he spoke at a business event I attended at CR a year or so ago.(A lot could change since then of course). If true, are we talking shirt sponsorship, or the 'LTC' (Lotus Training Centre) too?

    I used to visit the Allcock family home when I was a teenager; I played football for Thorpe St Andrew school & also St John's with his son Peter. I fondly remember Peter & I playing Led Zeppelin albums at high volume - figured Terry might tell us to knock it down a notch, however he never did! He got a me a ticket for Wembley '73 too - I'm hugely grateful for that experience.

    Lovely family - RIP Terry.

    Will Johannes live in Thorup St Andrew or Thorup End??

    I've lived in both these locations - he could do a lot worse! 'Thorpe End Garden Village' is particularly nice however (imho) it lacks soul. Had a few NCFC players as neighbours when I was there in the '90's...

    Think you could make a case for saying that pretty much all of our recent successful appointments were pretty underwhelming/meh at first sight: Stringer, Walker, Worthington, Alex Neil, Farke. The only successful manager/coach we have had since the 90s who came with any sort of reputation was Lambert, and that was at a pretty low level coaching-wise (though I did hear a rumour, if I remember correctly, that he might possibly have won a Champions League medal, though I'm pretty sure the man himself never ever mentioned it).

    Dean Smith came with a decent reputation?

    Jose is left footed. Not sure about the returning loanees.

    The thought must be they are being lined up for the following season, when both Duffy and Hanley are out of contract.

    The question is whether they are best served by being sat on the bench, or out on another loan. A comment above states that Warner is looking good. Maybe he will stay and, like Omo, get his chance and keep it.

    However the first team is NOT a place to develop. You are picked when you are ready. Albeit however good a player is at Colney the prove is on the pitch in a league match. 'Needs must' put Gibbs and Fisher in the squad. I suggest the latter needs a loan, as moving from non league to the Championship is a big leap.

    I don't think it is too great a leap to move to RB/LB from a central place in defence. Likewise, I think Godfrey started there, or even right midfield. R Martin swapped as well, so maybe one of these CBs could cover for Stacey.

    Plenty of options, whereas we only have Begga Hall at LB. There must be someone special lined up as we let both Gino and McCallum go. Whoever it is (them?) it won't be another aged stop gap.

    Guilherme Montóia is a LB - aged 20 & halfway through his 2-year contract.

    As long as he wins plenty of headers, knocks the granny out of a few strikers, and can hit a forward pass, I'll be happy.

    Missing a Zimbo/Godfrey-esque diagonal ball from centre-half in the locker.

    Ginger Pele's long diagonal balls to Darren Huckerby also spring to mind! I suspect JHT will be seeking younger CB's who are masters of their craft playing accurately and fast on the floor...
