Mattoon

Clearly no one knows anything other than 2 bids have gone in either side of the weekend, £35m, £40m, £45m, £50m with add-ons, including add-ons. It's all speculation at this point, the only consensus is that two bids have been made, the first one was rejected instantly and the second has been sat on the table for 24hrs.

We're close, I think once a price is agreed the rest will snowball pretty quickly. There's no chance Eddie plays him for Forrest, we know he likes his players with a good understanding of how he wants them to play before he'll field them but it'll be a boost for the game for the other players.

I stand by my prediction, this gets done before Forrest.

Absolute HAVE to keep hold of Sarina, she's managed this team superbly.

Absolutely brilliant, great game management at the end.

Germans look rattled

Geeeeeet innnnn!!!!

Need to make the most of this spell on top

Expectation should be survival and hopefully midtable, however if they aren't already in the playoffs come Christmas they'll be screaming for the Managers head

Mackem Peter Crouch has a dirty mouth

Almost already resigned myself to a gut punching penalty shootout loss, English vs German mentality

Ugh, kids, men, women, England always the same

The vision for that through ball to Walsh and the temerity to finish like that was absolutely sublime

I'll go out on a limb and say Maddison will be an NUFC player by the time we play Forrest

Still one or two defending him but the penny drop from the rest is deafening!

ASM looking revitalised and it's great to see, I just hope they don't try and tame him too much, that mercurial talent needs to come through to unlock games.

Richie already proving a liability, really shouldn't be anywhere near the 25

Get in Wilson!

Just gone live now for the build up and no epilepsy today

Everyone was sick a little in their mouths when they saw that line up, it shouldn't have functioned but was much greater than the sum of its parts, looked dangerous going forward, held onto the ball fairly well, pressed high with tempo and defended excellently, just lacked any teeth in the final third.

I don't think Anderson is that far off adding goals to his game, strong in possession, hard to get off the ball, has the composure of a player 10 years his senior and gets himself into great positions. Really think we should keep hold of him this season and bleed him in late in games and see how he comes on this season.

Most comfortable 1-0 win I've witnessed for a while tbh

Defence has been a brick wall today and without our best defender.

Gingerstaff coming on for Murphy

Literally everything that goes through Murphy now is breaking down, seen a couple of times he's been ignored as an option too when in space.
