What an amazing transformation by Tom Soares. It’s as if he’d played in the Premier League or something...

Good morning all. Personally I regard KD and kyle as the equivalent of Guestbook chuggers, deliberately posting obtuse views to 'encourage' GB contributions.

Lurker.... If you lack all those tributes then you are a poor player and that's what Soares performances were like. Funny enough a Bury mate of mine couldn't believe how poor he was for us as he was their main player. Maybe he has settled down now and its his time to shine for us. He is a powerful figure and should be dominating midfields.

Farnham and Diddy I’d be interested in knowing are we talking big change in his performance. I thought last season there was lots of effort but his first touch, awareness, passing and tackling let him down. If those have improved then it is good to see.

KD 👋🏻

As I posted yesterday, Soares has become this season' s Darius Charles - when he plays we win, when he is missing...He reminds me of Lawrie Sanchez as he does the hard yards in midfield but fans don't like him.

Lets see how many of you agree who were actually there that Soares ran the game on Saturday? Just speaking to Two Gills fans who work with me and they said your number 19 was running the game and pulling all the strings.

Fair dos, Simmie. Someone’s got to fill in the bits between Lurker the World Football Expert.

Simmie clearly so 👍🏻👍🏻

KD - I believe he's been signed to piss you off more deliberately as that is what keeps the guestbook traffic up...

Unfortunately that competition was declared null and void when Hitler invaded Poland, OI.

KD is Mona Lott and I claim my £5

I didn’t let him in my front door because he wasn’t charming enough (!)

Remind me how many days in a row did Ardley come to your house and take a massive shit in your cornflakes?????

Ah. You mean Hanson is a has-been nobody else wants. Got it. Not much of a marquee signing, however

And no one said what you’ve said, we can’t afford local players cos other local clubs can offer more - Eg Ladapo

You mean the older guy looking for a team where he can get game time cos his existing club weren’t playing him? I suspect that plus Ardley’s ability to charm guys like him is why.

I’m confused. We can’t afford Londoners because they all want to play for Bury and Northerners won’t play for us because they wouldn’t get extra mushy peas with their large cod & chips on our subsistence-level wages. Could someone, then, explain James Hanson?

CW yeah very true. I suspect we would find it easier to get youngsters with limited ties who want to be around London. Our problem is there are far more quality players being released from better academies in north than round us.

Surreyave I strongly suspect that is a smokescreen to cover her behaviour like Ian Wright playing the race card when he 2 footed Peter Schmeichel.

People in Plymouth and Torquay always say they struggle to get new players as it’s so far away too

But ultimately if you can get 1k pw here and spend that all to live a comfortable life and get 1K pw in Bury and have a house twice the size, nicer car, more cash in your hip, which are you going to take when you’re a youngster with limited ties.

Saveloy the average 18-30 male footballer will have an agent telling him he’d be earning more, saving more, getting more etc somewhere else. Having said that Newcastle, Sunderland etc have said they struggle because people view the area as bleak and they pay over the odds so I suspect it is a bit from column A and a bit from column B.

@Collette I was next to you, you were also checking out the female police officer

Honestly don’t know which I find the most despicable , penalty shootouts for a laugh or the growing insistence that sport is the same as football
