Mansfield fans were saying they have a smaller squad than us on stagsnet… I’ve no idea if that’s true or not but this chart doesn’t prove that they are wrong. Yeah I realised afterwards it was players used rather than total players. It was the “few players” “many players” I was looking at where they have used more than us.

If 18 are fit then we shouldn't need to. 3 of that 18 are keepers so only 5 fit senior outfield players to fill the bench and thats if hughes is fit. We will need to use 2 bench fillers atleast Unless, we have miraculously got some more players back which tbh i doubt

A player that we've been interested in previously.

A player that we've been interested in previously. That’s right but he has now signed a new contract at Fylde. Thought at the time it was mentioned that we would get him and offer him back to Fylde on a SLL.

This. "An unacceptable or unwelcome person" is the dictionary definition. If true, that isn't a normal parting of the ways of someone we've outgrown or the transfer hasn't worked out, especially on his money (and having been involved in 30+ league games for us last season and with half our squad out). It doesn't mean anything's happened though does it? He could've just fallen out of favour and if he's an introvert (which some have said he appears to be), he may have just withdrawn. I'm not speculating, just saying there are other explanations apart from something specific happening, implying he's done something to upset someone. You don't describe someone that's just fallen out of favour, especially if it's a personality difference, as a "persona non grata" or give that impression, if something hasn't happened behind the scenes - that doesn't mean Powell is at fault. Or, if you do, it's really bad man management for me, unless you are trying to force them out (equally not nice). Anyways, it's all speculation as we don't know that's true and Powell and DC have been positive in media. I'd love it if he smashes it for us this season.

From the prematch:
- We don't envisage anything happening (subject to a surprise). "Really good window" "evolved the squad without changing the identity" - "delighted" other than getting them fit.
- "Recovering and rolling out the same bodies", people "managing bits" even within the group that are playing, so we're having to manage the training workload. DC said similar before Rovers and, again, that's a concern for me given we are only playing 1 game a-week. Imagine what it's going to like with midweeks?
- Not enough ready for the Accrington BSM game as we'd like (and would prefer a 3 week break!), "5-6 back for Crawley" though potentially. Getting through tomorrow hopefully the start of building depth. "Maybe one on the bench for Mansfield" but too soon for the rest. My guess is Powell.
- Mingi not asked about directly, bit annoying that, but I guess that's us keeping Mansfield guessing. 5-6 back for Crawley is one higher that before (and with potentially 1 back before for Mansfield) so my guess is he's out.
- Praise for Collar. Unlucky not to be on the scoresheet - letters from the "powers that be" that he's onside for his goal and when he was taken down, which would have been a red, vs Cambridge.

We've moved on he's the new Tom Denton. i dont really know why a few wanted him on here as much as they probably did. Statistically hes poor and that's at all 3 of his loans. 2/300 passes per loan spell with a successful % rate of about 74% on a rough estimate

The stats measure what is measured - useful but you need your thinking brain to process what you are watching and trust that in combination with stats.

Nah, thinking brains are overrated, leave thinking brains out of YB.

This was the most sedate (boring) transfer deadline day for county ever. And that's a good thing.
