THE NEWS of Ryan Kidd's enforced retirement was a huge blow for the player, the club and its supporters, and the reception the fans gave him at Nottingham shows the esteem in which he is held.

Let's hope his testimonial season is a big success.

With that in mind PSG2000 will be looking to do help in any way we can.

What has happened to Ryan strengthens the case for the PFA in their fight for more cash from TV deals.

After all if players like Ryan Kidd need help in the future it won't be the clubs which they turn you but the players' union.

OK the big earners at the top don't need help but they are outnumbered at the bottom end by those who do.

And look at the players at Chesterfield who not long ago needed the PFA to pay them their wages because the club couldn't afford to!

Another good away following at Nottingham saw a very entertaining game with both sides playing open attacking football and a referee who allowed the game to flow.

What a difference to last year!.

The Tuesday night match against Bradford was, as they say, a game of two halves with a draw being a air result.

Nine games unbeaten now, but four draws out of the last five means we could do with a win on Saturday.
