Remember those two games well Exile. Tv cameras at Grays cos they were expecting to break a record with another straight win. Mangan got red for a bit of petulance and Coley was invited by the ref to watch from the stand !
At Aldershot we had to queue outside ground to await ref's last minute pitch inspection. Brought uncle Proccy Fan with me - at one point he needed a pee and when he came back I had to tell him about 2 rapid goals he had missed. Won 5 - 0 me thinks

Yeah, at the time I seem to recall Grays thought they would be walking into League 2, but an unfancied horse came up on the rails and beat the lot to the title!

Aldershot was a great result, but a ‘mere’ 1-4 score line on that night!

Because he's available Coleman rates him can play right or left wing back/ full back, center half, or even midfield and he,s a decent player you add if you have ambitions of top six finish.Plus I think there could be room in the sguad as there could be some going the other way possibleby on loan.

doubt if we have room to pay him, must be on a lot more than he was here? would love him back but cant see it myself,

If and it's a big if Cashy he would probably be on loan yes I know that would make 7 but most aren't getting a game anyway and we have had more than that before.

Time to look forwards not backwards.
We've got better defenders already.

Didn't stop us going for Roberts, one or two more signing in January according to John this morning, doesn't seem keen on picking McGuire, Mohammed or any of the younger lads so personally think defence could do with experienced cover.

It didn't and whilst this will be very unpopular I think any cost could have been invested better.
Has the same ring as the lauded return of Piero.
