Turning those away day Blues into away day Reds is going to be difficult even for Derek,
Home is where the points will be achieved and seeing off Cambridge will be massive

Make a change if our “Home” form keeps us up for once.

That’s certainly since we moved ground nearly 10yrs ago, where all our best Football every season has been played “Away”

5 of those games were with players that he inherited from Jim.

Home form can keep us up.

Derek has had a few months now and 11 league games to sort things out , the existing squad isnt good enough and that's dictated by finances ,Jim never even got to shop at aldi , they were from football's equivalent of the food bank, the jury's out on the new Morecambe players but our new striker has now played 3 without scoring , luckily our loanees from Burnley are different class, otherwise we would be bottom of.......

Gone full circle, Jim's having the same problem with what he's been left with
Hang on............the previous Fylde manager shopped at Waitrose

He is called Jordan Slew, Andy
...

Fylde are also in big big trouble as well - They lost at home to a Torquay side who have been struggling

Well.....as long as Fylde lost its fine then is it??.

Home games are where we need to be taking our points and look at away games as a bonus. Our home form is great and we look solid at The Globe but the away form is bleak. We have signed a lad from non league, one who has hardly played and 2 u23 players. You can tell the Burnley lads are fitter and up with the pace. Big Dave(we ok with that?) and Jordan are off the pace but will get better. We need that Aaron Collins or Bennett to score some goals. Be happy knowing we are in safe hands and not staring the Conf North in the face.

Well it might increase the chances of Jim taking some of the players off us that we would like to leave.

it was stated Jordan Slew was a player who mainly played as a wide player under Derek previously, and seems to have taken Kevin Ellison place on the left side...

Wikipedia needs updating then??

Yes. Along with Torrisholme’s Red Light District and China Town

It’s 6 away games in isolation. Overall he’s had a good start.

The first 5 home games look as though we should regard them as winnable (all games are winnable) Scunthorpe too should be in this category. That would take us to 40 points.

Away we have to think we can win at Walsall , Orient and Carlisle. That would take us to 49 and probably certain safety.

What's the problem

Stockton isn't taking his chances well enough im afraid , the goal he scored against Vale was put on a plate for him , either we need to start with AJ who is a bit more creative or import a striker very soon.

2nd this.

we only need one more player in this window.

We already have 3 out and out strikers on the books, can't just keep adding numbers, surely. We will have 40 players at this rate

Adam Buxton was watching Tranmere today, hopefully he and others will be off the books soon and Derek can mould his squad a bit more.

I was having a look through a free agent list to see who is available. Anybody remember Craig Curran? Turned out for 3 Scottish clubs after he left us inc Ross County.

Lewis Allasandra’s contract as expired i think?

although Shaun Miller’s terms & conditions suggest in this 1 year loan deal must be quite strict?

Adams told Quinny after the game that he's hoping to bring two more in.
