Mainly to meet safety regulations as it's such an old stand. Had to do a lot of work on it underneath and supports etc to meet safety standards otherwise there was a chance it would have to be closed and a bit of it was. They are relaying the concrete and putting new seats down. They are doing the other half in the summer. Top part they put new seats in during the early part of the season. If only there'd been a chance to do it when there were no fans allowed...
It's the story of the season really, huff and puff but very little end product and although last night was unlucky with the goals against us, I don't think we ever looked like winning the game. I was really impressed with that Tyler Blackett-Taylor. What a goal that would have been with that long run and shot in the first half!
Yeah I saw that was well offside afterwards after seeing it. Did any players appeal at the time, can't say at the time that I remember any big appeal about it and we weren't aware it was offside until people in the crowd had seen it on their phones and word got around. I thought Jacobs, who the manager continually refuses to start all season (although he apparently was going to start him last night but he got covid a week or so ago so couldn't) made a world of difference. Once he came on he ran at them, got in a couple of dangerous crosses and scored. We're crying out for a creative player and he's the only one we have and he rarely gets a game.
Our signings under the Cowley's have generally been awful. Two loans aside, in Bazunu (who's been brilliant and won us more points than anyone) and Romeo and permanent signing Morell, who's done ok the rest have made us worse. Our team that won League 2 five years ago would beat this side easily.
I was very unimpressed with Tyler Walker's home debut. His dad (Des) he is not! Barely touched the ball. I don't know what we do to strikers. Nobody can score when they come us in the last few years. We got John Marquis, 20-25 goal striker for years before we signed him. Couldn't hit a barn door for us most weeks. Transferred him two weeks ago and he's got 2 in 2 for Lincoln.

Likewise sold Ellis Harrison to Fleetwood and he's done the same.
We've got that Hirst on loan (son of David, remember him from Sheff Weds?) again nothing like his dad. He's going great guns with 2 goals in 20. The fact he was on loan at Rotherham last season and scored 0(!) in 31 games might have been an indication that he wouldn't get many I'd have thought!
Now we've signed a striker from Sunderland who's scored 5 in 45 games for them including 3 in one game! Maybe we're trying the reverse, get one who can't score and maybe he will for us.
Mid table obscurity I think this season, assuming we don't stop scoring altogether and slip down further. The football was awful and turgid under Jackett but he did get results, not that I'd wish to ever have the misfortune to watch his football again. Now the football we're playing is a bit better but we aren't getting results. Ah the life of a football fan!
