Having an unhappy player, moping around isn't good for anyone. The only way we're staying up, is 100% of the squad, giving 100% commitment. Cole doesn't want to be here and doesn't want to play for us. He's not committed to the cause of keeping us in League One, so the sooner he's gone, the better. I'd rather it wasn't to a club who we'll be battling with at the bottom of League One, but if that's the only option...
If he is forced to stay, I doubt if he'll get far in to double figures this season.

We’ve got Robert Madden in charge on Saturday for the Cambridge match. He’s one of the top Scottish refs. He's already done World Cup, Nations League, Champion’s League, Europa Conference League, Greek League and loads of International matches all over the world including England v Wales!
But he’s never been in charge of us so he’s now reached his peak.
Given 24 yellows and 3 reds in eight matches so far this season in the EFL.
Everyone who complains about the standard of refereeing in League One, best bite your lip on Saturday!

Please stop playing 5 3 2 it's not working
Worse start than last season under Robinson and my god the football was far far better
We are only going in one direction I'm afraid and that is down

But both goals we conceded yesterday were far far too easy
Maybe i just prefer the traditional 4 4 2 set up but hey ho i`m not the manager

He lives in Kirkby Lonsdale so we are his nearest EFL club.
He was here quite a few times after leaving Leeds and before going to PNE.

I think the three in the centre have been working really well, but we're too deep, inviting pressure and, ultimately, that's what does for us. Zero corners for us, thirteen corners for Cambridge. Eight shots for us, twenty shots for them.
'Adams ball' worked in League Two, giving the opposition plenty of possession, knowing most times, they aren't good enough to do anything with it, then hit them on the break. Perhaps it is simply that in League One, the difference in quality means the opposition can use that possession better, putting us under pressure far more?
That, and starting with ten men.

Derek has tried to find a way of playing 2 upfront with attacking midfielders without giving up players in defence. By doing this he has had to lose width and defend deep.
