    You're all looking forward to seeing Clement Rodrigues.

    I know I am. Because we know nothing about him.

    He's only got to be better than Cosgrove.

    Sorry for a positive thread. :D

    I am too; I’m also looking forward to visiting Stockport again after many years and praying for a win. I live in hope.

    Absolutely.
    And I hope he smashes it out of the park.

    That's what I really want, even if I can't see it at this point in time.

    If he does turn out to be a good signing we’ll start to worry about the “option to buy”. Didn’t we have one in place for Dike and still managed not to sign him permanently.

    Good luck to him. I've seen empty carrier bags blow onto the pitch who looked more of a threat.

    I am, yes. Hard to see him hitting the ground running but hopefully he does. He’ll be on the bench anyway I imagine.

    You've not got far to travel then, just over the Snake Pass. If its still open.
    A lovely part of the world.
    Especially the queues at Tintwistle.

    He's temporarily my new favourite player (whilst Cotter is injured), simply because he's been written off prematurely by our fanbase.

    Reight laiker.

    I always wanted him to do well, bit like when oddjob played for us. Both showed glimmers of what they could do, but for big lads they didn’t make the most of their stature.

    There’ll be loads of players in the same boat this week. Starting anew and hoping things will change for the better.

    The last time I went, we got beat 4-1. From memory, we were a goal up at half time, and 3 behind by the hour mark.

    I either want him to be exceptionally good or look like a competition winner. I'll be disappointed if he's just average.

    I remember going many moons ago, and Shipperley bullied Mike Flynn all game. Scored a nice little lobbed effort too I seem to remember.

    To think a couple of years later we had to suffer Flynn in our own defence…

    from what ive seen of him fromyoutube etc he seems to have a lot of pace -which is v.good for a striker aka salah-it will be upto our trainers to impruve him where we needs it.

    Mate, I think it is the strategy that's been written off, not the players.
    We generally give them at least 45 minutes before deciding if they are up to it.

    I can’t remember the scores from so long ago just remember it was always freezing or chucking it down behind the nets.
