If he can stay fit, that's a great signing for Walsall. However, 3 starts in the last 2 season suggests he can't. Interested to see how he gets on.

I know the first instinct is to laugh because it's the Vale, but let's be honest, it was a poor decision in the first place. The fact the appeal has been rejected is corruption piled on top of incompetence. It's gross from the PGMOL, simple as that.

What's the shortest amount of time there have been protests against new owners in football? Honestly impressive how quickly they can take the post takeover positivity and dump all over it.

In my preview of #CreweAlex's trip to the Lancashire coast, I look at a Cod team built in Pete Wild's image, some good omens, the lack of Tuesday league games following this and wonder if the manager might make some changes to his team: standingalone1877.com/post/fleetwood…

Whilst a 4th straight win would be amazing tonight, I would take a point if offered. Tough opponent with plenty of goal threats. That being said, they have weaknesses, so fingers crossed #CreweAlex can remain unbeaten at 10pm.

Can think of worse places to kill an afternoon before the game. #CreweAlex

Sigh. What's wrong with Thomas now? Rested as a precaution or injured? #CreweAlex

In theory, Powell for Thomas should be a positive change. Better on the ball, better at set pieces and more likely to create something. But as we know, that doesn't feel that likely given his form of late. Big opportunity to impress tonight. #CreweAlex

Wow. What a performance. What a result. The football we are playing is unbelievable. All this without several of our top attackers as well. Long way to go, but this team could go far this season. #CreweAlex

For Shilow! 💪

Usually, a manager is what he is. He preaches a certain style of football and sticks to it. But fair play to Lee Bell and his coaching staff, they have totally reinvented themselves and the transformation they have overseen this summer has been remarkable! #CreweAlex

In my review of #CreweAlex's 4th straight win to open the season, I look at a group effort on and off the pitch and praise the team for doing all this shorthanded upfront: standingalone1877.com/post/fleetwood…

I keep seeing talk that #CreweAlex need a CM. Do they? Sanders has been amazing, Thomas decent, Powell still has gas left in the tank, Lunt can drop in there, Golding was superb there yesterday off the bench. Moore/Armstrong if you get desperate. They're fine imo. FB & Winger.

In my preview of #CreweAlex's long trip south on Saturday, I discuss the need for them to improve their record at Priestfield, the Gills direct style which had led to them being unbeaten and wonder if they can equal history by winning a 5th straight game: standingalone1877.com/post/gillingha…

First game I'm missing today. Fingers crossed #CreweAlex can come back with something from the game, if they are still unbeaten come 5pm I'd be delighted. 🤞

Another nonsense penalty given in the Newport v MK Dons game. How do these refs just decide that some pulling is a foul, yet the 20 other moments it happens aren't. Ridiculous.

Harsh on Powell, but other than that, happy with the team. Bench looks stronger as well! #CreweAlex

We were always going to see a dip in energy levels. But I'd like to see less launching it, as it plays right into Gillingham's hands. Could do with Agius and Lunt getting into the game more, not really a factor first half. #CreweAlex

Don't mind losing after the run they've been on. But it was totally avoidable. Not sure what the changes were about, way too many tactical switches and the general level of play was poor. Beaten by their own errors, not by a better team. #CreweAlex

In my review of today's defeat at Gillingham, I discuss how missed chances and slack play cost #CreweAlex 3 points. Then I discuss how I think the management's confusing tactical changes cost them 1. No overreaction, but it's clear where they got it wrong: standingalone1877.com/post/gillingha…
