And it's unfortunate to see some negative comments towards JG on social media regarding these players not staying on. While it's understandable that people are disappointed that someone who has made the impact Walker has made isn't remaining with us, why JG is anyone's 'target' for this is beyond me. The only thing he's done wrong, and I post this as a joke, is that he happened to have reached the target he was set this season (keeping us safe) too quickly. What was he thinking? Some people need to have someone to blame for every failure to live up go their expectations. I'd suggest that they listen to "The dark days" if they want to know what a complete mismanaged shambles looks like. The club in its current form appears to be solvent, it has one of the best managers in the lower leagues, a youngish squad that can be improved, a decent following and is generally in better nick than it has been for years. I know it's difficult because the volume at which these people whine is in direct proportion to their ignorance but the best thing is to ignore them for the gobsh*tes they clearly are. This ↑↑↑

Maybe, and don't quote me on this, but maybe some of our fans are just idiots...

Why did Jim get rid of Walker a couple of years ago when he was our player, does anyone know? totally agree with herm. nothing to distinguish him at all. we had another loan player either immediately before or immediately after and i always forget which one is which. i was reasonably pleased that he moved on at the time because it gave room in the squad and presumably budget for a more effective option. obviously he's come on a bit.

Devante Rodney has gone for another loan spell at Halifax. We need a dislike button. Really poor that we couldn't or wouldn't extend Walker or Rodney's loans. I guess we will listen to a podcast in 10 years time which will take the lid off this. To be honest the fans deserve better from the club and it's time the club created a new position... a communications person.

There'd be no bullsh*t and no hidden agendas, just a decent, honest professional with a genuine love for the club and respect for both his employers and his fellow supporters in equal measure. It's a no-brainer. Our owners may have kept us from going under, but they've also kept us in the f***ing dark most of that time - they burned up any goodwill they were due a long time ago for me.

In the void between Walker announcing his time was up with us and the club putting out a statement confirming it, Sam Byrne had tweeted:
"Believe #stockportcounty were willing to pay but Jim Gannon - as he often does so well - would prefer to use any money to strengthen few different areas."
While I think the tweet was then deleted, where did that line out come from? (not criticing Sam btw)
Hence for anyone who had seen the tweet, I put up the move details (2.5 years and fee) given it was a bit 'pinned' on JG yet surely unlikely we were ever going to be competitve for that one if Fylde got involved! Then to get a statement out of the club which felt so end of season (oh, and that might be JG's fault given it's him quoted) I thought it was pretty shoddy.
Anyway, rant over. I think Jackson will come in for Walker and do well. I didn't care for him at first, arguing with JG in-game and replicating poor mistakes between games. But he looked good in an attacking left position, started to believe in himself and take on his man, and he looked competent coming inside for shots off his wrong foot. Before he left, he had made himself an important player for us.
Totting up in my head, we'll probably need one in just to have a full bench (unless using an academy player) and so I'm sure we'll see some movement. What form that takes,who knows?
I don't envy JG in trying to make moves and plan when the background doesn't seem to help him know what he's working with.

I’m glad he had a pen in his hands because after tonight he might have thought better of it.

New left back joins on loan from Fleetwood after cutting short a loan spell at Macc: www.stockportcounty.com/clarke-joins-on-loan/Key quote: "Jim Gannon is also hoping to pull off another new signing before the weekend." Sandy? Are you writing County's website content?

Wish the lad well now he's a County player but it doesn't fill me with excitement as a great signing unfortunately!
