I am still unsure as I have to return to working for a living on Monday and wouldnt want the SJD astro to bosh my 1st day.

Anyway in an ideal world and in return for paying their wages for in some cases 3 yearsish how about:-

GK - Kennedy
DF - Brownhill
DF - Coo
MF - Brown
MF - Peers
AT - Warlow

Subs - Lloyd
- Mcpherson
You get the idea anyway

You’d have to speak to their agent, (allegedly)

I have a friend who might be able to play… poss even chopper (of the helicopter variety, obviously) - want me to ask?

5

Nice idea Grazzer, but can’t help feeling they might bottle it when push comes to shove (not that I am bitter or anything)!

Witton Rating ***
Match Rating ***

In a game that had ‘end of season run-out’ written all over it, Witton rarely looked troubled. Greg Marshall returned to skipper the side, as Dann Stuart also made his long-awaited return from injury.

Adam Clarke declared himself fit an hour before the game, but the evidence suggests otherwise… :stuck_out_tongue:

Crouchy only screamed at the team on one occasion, and that was to tell everyone to ‘stop f**king arguing’… :blush:

Drew Haspell didn’t kick anyone, so he will feel slighty disappointed at his own performance.

Mark Robinson was fantastic, and could of had a hatrick but for some excellent goalkeeping… :ohmy:

Scott was…well, just ‘Scott’ really.

Greg and Dann were like some sort of tag-team, swapping places every 5 minutes.

Fallows has shown himself to be an able midfield general, and little Martin managed to bodycheck the biggest bloke on the pitch.

So all in all, not a vintage display but it leaves us with a points tally that we will try to beat next season…and i’m hungover.
