🔵⚪️ Ryan Hardie is an excellent signing for #htafc. Proven performer at League One level. Should give him them more cutting edge in the final third as soon as he gets up to speed.
Two strikers in on deadline day sets Town up perfectly for the final stretch.

🔵⚪️ No way would #htafc have beaten Bradford, Luton and Peterborough under Lee Grant.
Liam Manning has had a transformative impact. Instilled a sense of pride and togetherness. Showed good tactical acumen tweaking David Kasumu’s position at the weekend.
Town are on the up.

🔵⚪️ What a start Liam Manning has made to life at #htafc. Three wins out of three. Get another striker in before the window closes and Town will look in even better shape.

Sheffield Wednesday are not going to score another goal this season, are they?!! Couldn’t have gone much closer with opportunities in quick succession for Cadamarteri and Lowe.
Henrik Pedersen gives Josh Windass a big hug as he goes off. 79 minutes gone. #SWFC trail 1-0. 🦉⚽️

One position #SWFC must strengthen before the window closes is left wing back. Max Lowe is a massive miss and Reece Johnson does not look ready for the rigours of Championship football.
Is a case now of how many goals Wrexham will get. Heads have dropped since the opener. 🦉⚽️

A scrappy, stop-start first half. #SWFC have battled well. Everyone has stuck to their task defensively. Cooper has looked rock solid at the back.
But it’s yet another half of football they have failed to score in. Yates ought to have hit the target with his first chance. 🦉⚽️

Impressed with Heskey in midfield. Is putting himself about in. Has been neat and tidy on the ball.
Yates has done reasonably well in attack. Now had a couple of efforts at goal.
Same old story for #SWFC. They’ve been competitive, but zero end product. 38 gone. 0-0. 🦉⚽️

Kabore at right wing back looks Wrexham’s big threat today. Jamal Lowe has got drop back to give Reece Johnson some defensive assistance.
Decent start by #SWFC. Had the best chance so far with the debutant Yates. Wrexham have dominated possession but done little with it. 🦉⚽️

🔵⚪️ Huge blow for #htafc that Alfie May is suspended for four matches. Leaves them desperately short of strikers ahead of the trip to Peterborough. Bojan Radulovic looks unlikely to be fit. It could force Liam Manning into a system change. Would rather he play two up front.

Why does Emma Radacanu keep splitting with coaches? Is now looking for the 10th of her career…and she’s still only 23. Is she too difficult to work with? She hasn’t won a title since the US Open. If she’s going to close the gap on the top players, she needs to settle on a coach.

Barry Bannan’s move to Millwall looks set to go through today - and from a career standpoint it adds up.
- Guaranteed Championship football next season (possibly PL) ✅
- Stronger financial package ✅
- An 18‑month deal at 36 ✅
- Big boost to World Cup hopes ✅

🔵⚪️ Monumental performance and win for #htafc with 10 men. Murray Wallace was a man mountain at the back. Joe Lowe and Radinio Baulker were exceptional too. The team showed great fight and togetherness.
Back-to-back wins for Liam Manning. What an impact he has made.

🔵⚪️ Bojan Radulovic’s injury and Alfie May’s impending suspension increases the importance of #htafc signing a new striker before the window shuts next week. Can’t rely on Dion Charles to get the goals to keep them in the play-offs.

🔵⚪️ Missed the start of #htafc vs Luton. Back in time to see Alfie May pick up his second red card of the season for pulling on Kasey Palmer’s hair.
What a daft dismissal. May should know better for such an experienced player. Town have now got to play over an hour with 10 men.

🔵⚪️ The 'new manager bounce' must continue at #htafc. The team produced arguably their best performance of the season on Saturday.
But it's no good beating Bradford and then slipping up against promotion rivals Luton and Peterborough. Still plenty of room for improvement.

Would be up there with one of the biggest bottle jobs in Premier League history if Arsenal fail to win the title this season, IMHO. They’ve got best squad in the league. They’ve spent a small fortune in the transfer market in the summer. Mikel Arteta HAS to be winning a major trophy.
