York City manager hopeful of Walker recovery (From York Press)

The comment about Richard Brodie is a strange bit of reporting. By the time most people read it, Brodie will have already signed for Grimsby Town. So it doesnt matter if you wanted him back or not, its not going to happen. But if he helps Grimsby Town to beat Luton to promotion, then he will be a good signing. Good luck to him!

I'd be interested to know why we lost out to Grimsby on Brodie.

On a separate note, foamy ex- pats know how to get City commentary tomorrow whilst abroad?

I would have missed the first couple of games this season as I was in the US - the only way I could think of to get the radio commentary was to set up a Skype link with someone back home, and have them aim a radio at their computer microphone. A bit of a hassle, but surprisingly clear sound quality!

at a mad guess id say Grimsby got in there first while Mills was mulling it over tho it dosnt sound like he had time to do much mulling.Am i correct in thinking his contract at Crawley is finished at the end of this season.I know by no means all agree on here but i think he,d do ok in league 2,tho i very much doubt any higher i don,t think he,s got the nous any higher than that.

Grimsby have been going well getting decent crowds, think they had 7k in against Lincoln I would guess they are confident of their income to pay Brodies wages which we might not be so keen on disrupting our dressing room with still if he goes well there he might be a consideration if out of contract & looking at Lg 2 football. Need GM to be very shrewd & bring in intelligently rather than what looked like a couple of rushed ones in prior Januarys. I have a great deal of faith in GM but am willing to accept he is only human& will not get all decisions right but the majority he will just still cannot work out why he places such faith in C Smith but he is indeed our manager, so its his job his industry but I am baffled. Looking forward to another never say die football exhibition tomorrow :).

Brodies no loss,the way he shuffles around clubs tells us all we need to know.

I like Brodes. Could still do a job for us. However, he needs some decent wide players whipping in lots of crosses and through balls and we don't really play that way. Interesting to see how he gets on at Grimsby, if he can't hack it there he may go down as a one season wonder.

If Walker has got real tonsillitis there's no way he'll be ready to play tomorrow as it's a real debilitating illness and can take usually 10 - 14 days to recover from. Maybe he just had a sore throat. Of more concern though is the loss of Ashley Chambers for many weeks - a real blow.

Because he's not good enough at this level - not good enough for Crawley, not good enough for Fleetwood, not good enough for Morecambe and not good enough for us, nor does he fit in with our style of play. Credit to Richard for the one and a half good seasons he had with us (and for the injection of cash by Crawley!)but he's simply not up to Football League standard.

My you are slipping, almost every single time you come on here you have to stir up or have a go at or about Chris Smith, why don't you just leave well alone especially whilst the lad and the team are playing so well, but by the way you did forget to tell us all what a good pevery player Danny Parslow is, and I agree as do many others who post here, but please please stop ramming it down people's throats all the time, get behind the whole team . In Mills and City I firmly trust, come on City.

I'm dissapointed we didn't get Brodie. He is a top player and runs his socks off, he was a legend for us. Virtually got us to the play off final on his own in 2010, then got idiots abusing him on his return. He did nothing wrong, forced out of the club by the owners. £275,000 bit hard to turn down.

Please ignore "pevery" it should read every, apologies for the slip up in spelling.

I was a great admirer and we have a lot to thank him for in the past - Mr Brodie has too much baggage and off field problems - to bring him back would be a bad move not only for the Club but all team moral. Why did he leave Fleetwood & Morecombe? Brining back Jonathan Smith didn't work out and I don't think Brodie would either. On Brodie it was reported that Brodie needed the signing on fee money.

Great to see Pottsy doing well - good professional - waited his chance and is now a regular part of the team - he was in a long line of players fighting for a midfield roll, Paddy, Kerr, Smith, Bullock - also Parslow - a lot of the posters on this website early season did not have Pottsy on their want list - all the above were given their chance - it's now Pottsy chance.

Dave McGurk - has been out well over twelve months with knee and throat problems - it takes time to regain your fitness, match fitness is another level - at the start of the season, in his Benefit game he could only manage fifteen minutes - he needed match practice - he asked to go on out on lone to get match fitness - he was due to go to Hereford until Chris Doig got injured and Clark Carlisle jumped ship - thankfully he didn't go. Playing himself back into form and the team - well done David McGurk.

The addition of Pottsy and McGurk must be like getting two new signings for Gary Mills

Bring on Exeter and another three points

The truth about Brodie is that Mills never got back to him. He couldn't afford to wait for an answer so went to Grimsby. Simple as that.

Oh so sorry my post did not meet with your approval, I was mistaken in my perception that this was an "open" forum in which I could voice my opinions however outlandish they may be.
Tell you what I will turn up as usual & clap the entire team on and off the pitch just like always because stuff like this does not upset professional footballers but booing them after they have done their best might well do it.
If you need a forum to disagree with someone voicing a free opinion then perhaps you could be the Iranian regimes press officer. I have my likes & dislikes its a free country jog on.
Come on City!!!

Not sad that Brodie is not coming back. If I deliberated I would have said no too as he has not improved since with us and generally returns dont work - look at our returnees !

well im glad r brodie isnt comeing bk to york not a bad player but cound do better g m up to now not a bad start in mills we trust

Can't really knock Brodie when he was with us he scored some memorable goals in his time & when he came on to the pitch at the Crescent he was the first to come over to the Pop Stand & applaud the fans-no can't really knock the guy he was good for us-would have liked to see him go on & get 100 goals for us-he was quick to get his first 50- but of course we couldn't turn down that sort of money-but I don't think he's had a settled time anywhere else like he had with us-As regards the stick he got when he came back with another Club that's par for the course Richard old mate not neccessarily meant in a malicious way - hope he finds a Club he's happy with.

More money freed up as we have finally offloaded Henderson. Signed for Gateshead.

Please please do not lend me your support however correct it might feel to do so, I consider you to be quite mad but entitled to voice your opinion. It will only add a new and unwelcome element of ridicule to the Fascist "Total Support State".

as regards Brodie doing nothing at such as crawley fleetwood morecambe.Crawley bought him for the same reason they did a lot of players simply to stop him playing against them,they never played him much cos they had about ten strikers.fleetwood pretty much same senario just had a massive sqaud of which he was a minor part,as for morecambe they wanted to keep him but for whatever reason couldnt.what id love to know id who are these better players that are gonna come and play for us that we can afford if Mills dosnt think for example Brodie is good enough please lets see who your bringing in that is and who is actually willing to come to us.is it Ashikodi,Johnson,Hen
derson,Reedy who some of us like but mr Mills obviously dosnt(even tho he signed him just like all the rest),i think some people need to stop living in cloud cukkoo land as regards who we can bring in perhaps including G.M himself.
