Deserves a thread of his own. What a brilliant player, once again excellent today.

Sign him up for the season, Paul!

I work with someone who knows his family.

He's got his head screwed on. Spent time on loan in Scotland, apparently, and although he did well he didn't enjoy being so far away from home.

Not that I think we have a realistic chance of signing him permanently, but from what I gather he would prefer to stay locally.

At least in the short term he'll realise that he's playing games and playing in a good team that wins regularly. That's got to be enjoyable, no matter what level it's at.

From 'Just Back' thread but also relevant for this one.

Conor Townsend man of the match for me today. Excellent to watch a player who is prepared to take risks and has so much confidence in his own ability. He also benefits of the experience that Monkhouse provides. That combination on the left seems to be our main outlet at the moment.

Our best chance in the first half arrived when Townsend controlled the ball close to the touchline. He played it to Monkhouse who threaded it neatly down the wing for Townsend to latch on to. He then played in a superb cross but Arnold's weak header could only force the keeper to concede a corner.

I also like Townsend's positioning when going forward. You'd think as a left-back he should be mindful of how far up the pitch he goes when he's not directly involved in the first phases of play or on the other side of the pitch (build-up to Amond's goal). This is where Josh Gowling deserves a mention too. Monkhouse isn't quick enough to cover so Josh has to do that and he is perfectly capable as he proved numerous times today.

The goal personified Townsend for me. He didn't rush when the ball fell to him. No, he waited calmly a second or two before lofting the ball with the outside of his left foot and into the centre of the box where Amond was in a brilliant position to glance home.

I'd be very, very happy if we could keep Townsend until the end of the season.


We've got Jason Pearcey, number one, we've got the best team in the land...
