Shame he hasn’t kicked on or rediscovered his form since leaving here, heard he’s had further injury issues? Brilliant player when he was here. Would he be worth a short term
Deal if Kandola was out for most/rest of the campaign? Yes? Will It happen? Probably not
if you couple goals with clean sheets you've a recipe for success

He was still playing for Worksop on Saturday so I'm guessing he'll join permanently

Dean Sturridge played a handful of games for us in 2006/07. I can remember thinking he was still sharp. He was a gambling addict, the article is about his recovery and involvement in an organisation to help problem gamblers.

https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/articles/c3w1gq5e1d2o

I was reading an article in the Times online about ex-pro players being fast-tracked into refereeing - Player to Match Official. Among those doing the course is one Iyseden Christie. They get £40k a year from the scheme for 3 years, I believe. In case there is a paywall on the Times article, I have also linked to another report I found of the scheme.

Seems a reasonable enough idea, but Iyseden is 48 years old!

The Athletic did the same piece - but didn't see a mention of Iyseden!

Can't imagine he'll do much running in the middle...

Went to watch Barrow v Salford last night. Ben Whitfield and Sam Foley both started for Barrow.

Holker Street still feels somewhat like a non-league ground - seating only on one side and nothing behind one of the goals. The game was scrappy - nobody was given any time on the ball. As a result, there were loads of misplaced passes and two rather peculiar goals.

I thanked the Barrow fans for lending us Worrall - they fell about laughing when I told them that our manager was PB. I had forgotten that he had a brief spell there.

They may be laughing now, but they are a club massively punching above their weight. They were always a lower half Conference side - and if ever they came back down that's probably where they would end up. Geography and facilities very much available at them.

Didn't PB do an ok firefighting job for them?!

That all said, they're welcome to stay at least a division away from us for the time being. We gave a decidedly poor historical record against them and their fellow Cumbrians Carlisle, who do appear to be heading back to the National League next season.
