You probably already know that Town have appointed John Deehan as "Head of Recruitment" whatever that transpires to be. Woodses tells us it means that Deehan will be out scouting players building up a list of players who will then probably turn us down in the future. Deehan has scouted for Bolton and Norwich as well as having management experience. Much is made of his contacts, as it seems to be whenever Town sign someone to the backroom staff. Is he being brought in to replace Woods via the back door, especially since he expressed a great interest in the job when the club appointed Mike Newell? Has Fenty realised he has cocked up time and time again with his previous appointments and has panicked yet again? Who knows? Who cares, at the end of the day? After all, there's not much us fans can do about it and it would be mental to stop going because you don't approve of Fenty's staff choices.

By the way, has John Deehan watched much non-League football? If he hasn't yet he will have to next season.

Ashley Chambers is in the frame for this weekend after a brace for the reserves in a 2-2 draw with Middlesbrough yesterday. Ak-Ak reckons it's all about League survival for him even though his contract is nearly up. Gosh, that article has a lot of short, one-sentence paragraphs doesn't it? That looks like I wrote it. I didn't though. I wrote this instead.

Now can I get on with watching Cheltenham please?
