I think with Jodi there is no doubting his quality as a player. The question seems to be his fitness. We don't actually have all the facts to be certain of what is going on. If he is looking to move to another club, the question is why is it taking so long? Ability not in question. Is it his fitness that is being questioned by other clubs? Is that the reason the brothers have not extended his contract? To be honest we don't really know. He may end up seeing out his contract with us. We will just have to wait and see.

Look a good signing https://youtu.be/EFIAeYxjxuc?si=7st5MFT6KJteG1B4

Something doesn't feel right, but I remember saying the same thing last pre-season. I think although we are in league 1 and don't seem anywhere near ready, the aims this year are different. Last year anything but promotion was seen as failure. This year is all about avoiding relegation. The lack of readiness at this point may not be so critical.

Agree@piedestrian most of the areas you mention is where the creativity lies. I am happy we look sold defensively including the centre midfield options, but wing back and attacking midfield is where we open teams up and become a goal threat. Patto knows it, lets hope the recruitment team do as well. If we that part right I think we'll be ok.

I thought Jack Evans was the standout player for us today. Also Lipsiuc and Kouhyar did ok when they came on. But we don't look anywhere near league one ready. Lets hope we can get some quality players in and soon.

First half showing not great. Looking more like an average league two team not a league one side. Too many long balls from Belshaw. Definitely need more creativity in the attacking areas.

We should now be putting out a strong team to get ready for the start of the season. I hope we start with the strongest team we have so far to give us an idea how ready we are.

It's hard to see the logic in this one. York score 114 goals and mass 108 points and that's deemed not good enough. Then they appoint a manager who has been sacked from his last two jobs! Not quite sure why as they put it want to in that "different direction." Makes no sense.
