I'd say that's worth a go. I'd also say it won't happen.

Have I missed something ? Has it been confirmed that Bim wasn't fully fit ?

Walker won’t start quite yet so Bonne and Pepple up top I reckon. Moncs will start so suspect Morton won’t. Always a chance Ralph will go LWB so Gubbins continues and Jack comes on for Gubbins last 30.
In reality not a huge array of options of course
 
Gateshead boss Rob Elliott is joining Crawley. Will be interesting how they fare without him.
Amazing what winning at Roots Hall can do for a lad’s career, innit?

Be a blow but sure they’ be fine, were after Williamson left so sure have a similar replacement with same ethos.
 
Who the hell is Nobbler? For those of us (me) who do not know.
Nobbler is Dave Brabbing who was the first SUFC "face" that I can remember from away games in the 60's .These days he's a rather reformed character-as befits someone in their 70's-who sits in the East Blacks, IIRC:He will always be remembered by fans (of a certain age) for carving a bronze of Dereck Spence and presenting the great man with it on the pitch.He wasa great fan of Billy Best's too and I believe Sir Billy has actually visited his house.Should add that I haven't actually seen him in years but he's still active on SZ.

I can verify that, if Dave got cut he'd bleed blue, such is his devotion to SUFC. I've had the privilege of visiting his home, & if SUFC ever opened a 'hall of fame' they'd be hard pressed to compete with Dave's SUFC room.
 
Our recruitment this season has felt like it did when we was in League 2

Losing key players (for whatever reason) and replacing with players on a downward trajectory.

When Stan came in, he highlighted this issue and we started to recruit players on an upward trajectory and with a passion and drive to reach the highest level.

Why has this seemingly changed since the takeover?

The club feels rotten again, and I can't help but point a finger at some of the recruitment.
 
Had a head wound....
Forget opinions etc the way we lost kensdale, cardwell, Waldron, miley, walker, Coker in the space of a week was a massive kick in balls.
Well there is at least two out of that mob that we miss, rest are like for like…..excuses excuses for a team that is set up to draw every week, even at home

Can't win can they - when recruiting up and coming players fans were crying out for some experience, players that had been there and done it rather than 'part-timers' that needed 6 months to get up to speed! As usual you need a mix, which is what we have.

As for your last statement that the club feels rotten again - I really don't know where to start
